Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles?
ctroutwi writes "In the wake of rising gasoline costs there have been plenty of alternatives seen on the horizon. Including Hybrids, Biofuels, fuel cells and battery powered all electric cars. CNN has recently posted a story about a company (EEStor) that plans on offering Ultra-Capacitor storage products. The claim being that you charge the ultra-capacitor in 5 minutes, with approximately 9$ (~$.45 a gallon) of electricity and then drive 500 miles."

There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Nah, I think this is called RAID-1 (aka mirroring).
You know, that redundancy, security & back-up stuff...
Mastering the English language is fucking easy: all you have to do is to put an f* word in every fucking sentence.
Hey at least you got to yesterday, its still today...and I thought to myself "I could have sworn I read that this morning..."
I always wondered where this setting was...
They are both on the same frontpage for me. I literally scrolled down the front page to see them both.
What's worse is that there are 5 more articles to go on my front page before that one scrolls off.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
its Deja Vu!

AFAIK, this isn't even a copy/paste karma-whore: both summaries list the same submitter.
The only difference is an added link in this summary and a slightly different headline.
Free beer is never free as in speech. Free speech is always free as in beer.
There aren't enough "Redundant" modpoints in the world to shut you all up. Just stop yelling Dupe, would you? I think it was pretty obvious from second one.

Different editor. Come on, give 'em a break. You can't expect effective communication in the electronic age.

I love it when dupes are duped, but 2 on the front page is not quite enough. Can we have 1 more please?
3 stories about 5-minute charges, all on the front page with slightly different names.. that would be art!
Whoa! Slow down, cowboy! You have to wait between posts to give everyone a chance to dupe. It's been 16 1/2 hours since this story has been posted.
You may be behind a firewall, blahblahblah....
"City hall" in German is "Rathaus" Kinda explains a few things......

I think he was refering to people taking highly rated comments from the last discussion, and posting them into this discuss.
> You can't expect effective communication in the electronic age. ...at least on slashdot
Even better, the 'tagging beta' seems not to let people tag stories with 'dupe.' I did, and I'm sure a lot of others did, but it hasn't shown up. Fortunately, 'dup' and 'superduper' seem not to have been similarly purged.

+1 month before I think about subscribing. Seriously, what the fuck DO you do with subscription money? Use it to light cigars? Because you sure as hell don't use it to ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE SITE.
P.S. 5 minute recharge at some ungodly number of amps at an insane voltage. Um, yeah, that'll almost work, really.
