Seriously I am tired of all these researchers saying they found a way to break bonds in water to make hydrogen a feasible long term energy source or a new photovoltaic technology that has 40% efficiency and then say down the road "oh the commercial version is 5 to 10 years out". Its always 5 to 10 years out, heres a suggestion how about announce your results or accomplishments when you ACTUALLY have a working commercial product that is in production. Maybe then I'll give a fuck.
How is it the Germans have a very solid manufacturing base and exporting even to China?
Is it because workers are treated better or is it because they are cheaper?
How is it that The Netherlands is the world's 2nd. largest exporter of agricultural products in value after the US, is it because the country is so blessed with it's climate and available space?
I'm convinced the USofA can be a profitable exporter of manufactered goods and produce providing their managers start looking at the long term instead of just this quarters profits.
Its because Germany and the Netherlands specialized their industries to fill in certain niches and do them well. USA manufacturing wants to be everywhere at once and at the cheapest cost with no concern to quality with maximized profit. I wonder if taxing corporate profits due to offshoring would even help now. This is if you could even get a law like that passed seeing that Congress loves to suck so much corporate dong they ignore the pleas of their constituants.
... and/or establish a second fuel cycle that will consume most of the waste or close the currently existing cycle. Maybe we can make a few more STEN jobs out of the process to lower our high unemployment.
From the TFA it looks like they did not make a working device yet. Still, sounds like an interesting application for aerogel. Hopefully it is safer, cheaper, and easier to make than lithium technology
Because there is something called a battery and its charge is finite. Having a lightweight OS that is built from day one to sip mAh is a better way to go about it.
A new life awaits you in the Off-World colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure...New climate, recreational facilities...absolutely free. Use your new friend as a personal body servant or a tireless field hand -- the custom tailored genetically engineered humanoid replicant designed especially for your needs. So come on America, let's put our team up there...Let's go to the colonies.

With how Hollywood is today my expectations were very low to begin with. However, I enjoyed the movie, it was kinda like a rehash of the first movie and im sure alot of people were expecting it to have a weak storyline anyway. With the great deal of eye candy, superb music, and somewhat simple writing, it was worth the money I spent to see it.
Seriously, IPv6 is there to replace IPv4. Tell everyone who whines 'tough shit' switch over already. If I have to pay an extra 5 dollars a month for a year to my ISP for that to happen then I would. Just stop trying to extend the life of IPv4 when there is a suitable replacement already available.

Animation felt choppy to me, then again its loading the page over and over again. Animated SVG does look cool when done properly.
I would mod up if I had points. LTE is a joke when you have data caps. There is no reason for it.
I for one welcome our lossless encoding overlords.
By the time they are able to even get a person on Mars their eventual social and environmental issues will catch up with them.

You can't cut back on funding! You will live to regret this!!

.... until we have head crabs jumping around latching on to people when this technology goes wrong?

I wish Fluxbox was still being actively developed.

Nertz I meant, One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison. Blah
ORACLE = One Rich Asshole Larry Ellison.
...except the reactor is on a floating platform unlike being underwater.

Tron is just one influential movie that got me fired up to be an engineer.

Could this lead to a embrace and surge in biodiesel use?

Solar cells and batteries, like most space flight systems today.
So is this a step in the direction for cyberbrains or maybe internal memory storage devices for implanting in humans ?
Sorry, but I'd still prefer a wacom over this, then again that's because I drag my hand across the sensor area while I write and draw.
