Lockheed Signs with EEStor to Use New Ultracapacitor

Over a year ago, we discussed a start-up company, EEStor, that was making incredible claims about their new power source. Later, EEStor made waves with its bold predictions and secretive policies. Now, Lockheed Martin has decided to give EEStor a chance. The two companies signed a deal this week to use the new energy storage units in Lockheed's products. The folks at GM-Volt interviewed a Lockheed representative about the deal. The representative had this to say regarding EEStor: "We've visited their facility. We were very impressed. They are taking an approach that lends itself to a very quick ramp-up in production. We've seen a lot of their testing and efforts to measure the purity of the powders that they use, and the chemistry. Well be working with them very closely this year to develop prototypes in certain pursuits."

    Isn't there a way to set up Slashdot so that I can not have to see any comments labelled "Funny"? Because they're about as funny as a kick in the teeth, and serve only to mark out the less-educated "members" (and I do mean "members"). Pearls before grunting swine - really. Mod me down as much as you like; it's true. Grunting, baaa-ing, bleating ignoramuses who can only react to interesting stories by posting silly quips. It's like fucking Pink Floyd "Animals" in here. Baaaaaa!
    Admins: Please do consider implementing a killfile system based on how articles are labelled. I'm absolutely sure many of the less-stupid readers would very much appreciate not having to sift through the 90% of comments that are posted by the ill-educated unwashed and labelled by their peers "Funny".
    Wouldn't it be ironic if some of those cretins labelled this comment "Funny"?!

      Considering that almost as many users have joined after you as before, it is quite astonishing that you haven't worked out how to click on the preferences link at the top of the page, yet feel qualified to call other Slashdot readers 'Grunting, baaa-ing, bleating ignoramuses.'
