  3. Re:PIN compatibility on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Chips Released · · Score: 1

    this should be in a socket 939 and 940 format. 939 and 940 boards should support them.

    It's Eve not Carol, for Evesdropping. This guy must not of read a lot of crypto material, it would certainly be a plus for someone in his position.

  7. Re:Electric Cars... on Aircraft Maker Will Produce Electric Cars in 2006 · · Score: 1

    Checkout this "green" engine concept, it's fascinating. It's
    half way between the Wankel rotary engine and the turbine is a new engine/pump that could very well replace the 200 years old piston engine; it's way more fuel efficient it's 1/5 lighter for the same power and has a wide power range with torque at low rpms(lessening the need for a gearbox for automotive application, and is 1/20 less noisy, and will run on a wide variety of fuels with very little/no polution because of prevented NOx formation. The inventor, Mr St-Hilaire, has a PhD in Physics, but is not too good at web designing as you will see. ;-). Here is a pdf file explaining the concept.

    Face batteries are still not an option for the transportation industry, and the fuel cell is still in it's infancy and in both cases the whole car has to be redesigned. This engine concept is a great intermediary step, it could get integrated in existing infrastructures.

  8. Re:Assembly AND Military Experience Required on Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required? · · Score: 4, Informative

    WHAT??!?! According to this article flying a MiG21 costs about 500 gallons of jet fuel for 15 minutes. Double that for a F18 your at 4000 gallons an hour; about 10 000$ an hour. You can do a lot more than take off and land in an hour.

  15. Interesting presage... on More On IBM's Next-Gen Xbox Chipset Win · · Score: 1

    With this processor switch the XBOX 2 has the exact same component manufacturers the GameCube had (ATI for gfx & IBM for cpu). Could this be a presage about a Nintendo takeover by M$?

  16. to the UN and beyound on Large Scale Collaborative Editing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Someone send the URL to the UN! A new world order is born! Anyone could submit amendments to laws!

    Seriously, though, other that losing time and getting in endless arguments, my experience tells me that after a certain size, group production of text turns into a mess. Remember those reports that had to be produced in group in high school? One or two individuals ended up doing all the work, while being unncessarly bothered by the rest of the group.

    Now, if this 37D-24-36 (oops wrong thread) would incorporate a notion of Karma, maybe we would be closer to a Meritocracy. Per field Karma, to prevent people knowledgeable in one field to pollute another one? Anyone has suggestions?

    Quantum crypto does not require a Quantum computer, it has already been tested, even without a fiber. For a primer in crypto I suggest the Code Book from Simon Singh.
