  1. Re:Nobody texts anymore, gramps on California Considers Text Messaging Tax To Fund Cell Service For Low-Income Residents (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    The price is about the same in Sweden for that kind of service. Look at Hallon.se

  2. Calculation to get the fuel? on Scientists Create New Gasoline Substitute Out of Plants · · Score: 1

    To get the fermentation done you need to start with sugars. Cellulose and hemi-cellulose are long polymeric sugar (ex: glucose and xylose). If you have a technology that could use the entire plant and to make sugars then you would make a difference. At 20ton/ha and year producing biomass you could make 10+ton sugars/year and after fermentation you would have 7ton of "fuel". That is 7 ton fuel per hectare and year. So if Nebraska:s 20.000.000 hectares would be used (just as an easy calculation example - not the real thing ok?) you would get 140.000.000tons of fuel per year. No more corn but fuel only. That would cover a fair pice of what is needed.

    What is missing here? Making sugars from cellulose/hemi-cellulose! That technology at the right sugar price is being done by several companies. My favorite is REAC Fuel....but there are others that can do the trick.

  3. the right way on Decentralized Social Networking — Why It Could Work · · Score: 1

    Going back brom big data to small shared data is the way to go. There are many ways that this could be done. The discussion of distributed trust could be an long (and good) and be taken from any Bruce Schniders latest books. If you read them then you have a good start on how the problem can be solved. TIP: Technology is not always the answer.

  5. When will AI be big? on Ask Steve Wozniak Anything · · Score: 1

    Dear Steve,

    Do you have a feeling for when the AI or RI (restricted intelligence - not self aware) will start to become mainstream? Is it coder knowledge, CPU power or social restrictions that are going to hold this development back?

  6. Re:Transaction Costs on PayPal to Offer Micropayments · · Score: 1

    The bank makes money on a few other things other than just fee. It keeps the money and kan lend it to someonelse for a profit while you have the money stored in the bank doing nothing. That how it is done.

    An online system cash system will be introduced in 2006, where you could transfer funds from phone-to-phone, computer-to-phone or to your account. It is done but it needs the right marketing and deals with financial insitutions for this not to be a flop, and those deals takes months to get right. Just keep your connection alive, and we'll show you...

    $6/month flat rate for almost unlimited usage is our goal. This will fit any low income enviroment and is rugged enough to be used in "soon to be developed" areas.

  8. Crypto for batteypowerd devices on Ask Security/Cryptography Expert Paul Kocher · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hi!

    Thank you for letting us ask all these questions.

    If you would recomend using crypto in PDA:s, cellphones etc that are dependent on battery power, and you want to be as secure as on your desktop where SSH and SSL is used, what crypto would you use for different applications such as webbservice, mail, telnet and VoiceIP? Are there any cryptoalgorithms that are much less computing intensive but still keep a high crypto profile?
