How do you think Hydrogen is manufactured, if not from electricity?
It doesn't matter. Conversion from electricity and water to hydrogen and back can be very efficient. The problem with electric cars is energy storage (batteries), and hydrogen can be stored more easily than electricity.
I don't get the use of the Sierpinski triangle, Apollonian gasket, and Sierpinski carpet style shapes for representing each fuel source. I haven't looked at much data visualization, but it doesn't seem the use of these doesn't add anything.
I don't know much about visualization either, but this one is really obvious. Empty spaces add perceived volume to the graph, so that it looks bigger (compared to the full square that show how much we use each year). Our brains don't know how to calculate the percentage of empty space into the perceived size.
Better still would be to enforce the ban socially.
In an ideal world, yes. However, despite what Slashdotters tend to believe, politicians (at least the successful ones) are smarted than most people. You must have noticed that news like "Candidate A did something very bad" are must more publicized that "Candidate A isn't all that bad, Candidate B made that up".
The law is to prevent candidates from claiming their opponent is a pedofile just as the voting starts, as in this case the opponent would have no time to respond to such allegations even if they can be easily proven false.
How interesting: It's software, it's free, and it's name Source, but it's not Free Software or Open Source. It's really a shame that with the thousands of words in the English language neither RMS nor Valve could come up with something more identifying.
Could you tell us what kind of hardware do you have and what software do you use?
I'm really interested, because my new HP ProBook can barely run 2 hours on battery on Linux with a light load, but the specs said 4-4.5 hours. Now I know they're lying and that I could stretch the life by totally dimming the screen, but I doubt they would claim twice the battery life. It was even worse before I installed the proprietary graphics driver by AMD, so I presume there are some bad drivers here. On the other hand, my girlfriends ThinkPad Edge with an AMD processor easily playes compressed video for about three hours. She's running Kubuntu while I have Arch, both with KDE desktop. Unfortunately, neither of us have Windows installed so I can't compare with that, and I don't feel like installing Windows just to test battery life.
"Children are taught not to take candy from strangers. But adults are perfectly OK with using USB sticks from unknown sources..." It's a stupid thing to teach children, too.
I don't thinks it's a stupid thing for either children or adults. Neither the OS nor the children should know what in a candy or as USB stick.
This is true. Employees shouldn't be able to harm the company or government computers, or expose sensitive company/government data.
Also, people who try to do that should be penalized. It doesn't have to be much, but you must raise awareness that such actions can do a lot of damage.
- It looks nice. - Plasma and plasmoids (webcomics, twitter, system monitors and much more on the desktop) - It's configurable.
Some of the apps are better than Gnome equivalents (KTorrent, Amarok, KDevelop are the main ones I use), some are worse, but that doesn't really matter since you can freely mix both. However, while KDE/Qt programs look good on Gnome, Gnome/Gtk apps still don't look quite the same on KDE. The oxygen-gtk theme helps here, but you can still notice the difference.

Yes, I know. However, batteries tend to have similar problems (both leakage and gradual degradation), besides being much more expensive to produce and hold lower energy density. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#Common_Energy_Densities

Too late, he already posted the public IP address. I'm hacking it as we speak, C:\ is already deleted, and D:\ is about halfCARRIER LOST

Thanks, I started reading into it and found this, right on the KDE page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#How_to_enable_Cpufreq_based_power_saving
Besides this post being about laptops, less power consumption means greater uptime when running on a battery.

It's a close guarded secret, but they really use butterflies. The Cloud is just a buzzword.
I just filed for 'Giving gifts and displaying assets in a social network environment by means of a computer.'
Suck on that, Facebook.
You forgot to add "in the cloud". Your patent is useless.
Then why do they complain after the fact?
You forgot Wave, it was so hyped and then nothing turned out of it.
You really believe that a government without national healthcare can be anything but far right?
Ok. "The world's first energy-positive fusion reactor is being built in France"
We still don't know if it will be energy-positive or not. The point of building the thing is to figure it out.
No, man. It's just ZIP's all the way down.
It is. Unfortunately, the Cold lost.
Engineer or scientist misrepresented or misquoted in the media. News at 11.
No, not trolling. Even thought I was trying to be funny, I really wanted to know.
Thanks.
Is this like a malicious Beowulf cluster?

It wasn't a simple theft, it was a Grand Theft. You know, because Apple products are Grand.
