    It's no different here, the industry think's that game programming being more fun then say Windows Administration deserves less of a Salary. So game programmers make a bit of coin, the big bucks are still with those that know how to design drivers well.

    Just a thought: If they don't like it become a needle in a haystack.

    It's not that difficult with the Black Cat setup to re flash your EU or US SB5100, however you have to remember that ALL BANDWIDTH TRACKING systems use the MAC to do so, as such simply put your newly re-configured SB5100 and cable connection into promiscuous mode and sniff all the MAC's that meet Motorola's standards on your network (should be a few thousand). Then when you re flash your firmware change your MAC every 30 minutes (the newer firmwares support this), not only will you have relatively unlimited bandwidth the utilities provided to your DOCSIS ISP from CISCO / Lucent / Whomever will not be able to find you, and as a side bonus your encrypted torrent connections will only appear on every connection that you've cloned every 1/2 hour, so when they start tracking you you dissapear. :D

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_efficiency Rankine Cycle - Depdens on input Delta (hotter is better used by turbines) Brayton Cycle - 90% ideal, (no volume), 60% to 90% (Applies to turbines including Rankine Cycle systems). Atkinson/ Miller Cycle - 70% Ideal, 45% volumetric 40% to 55% achieved Otto Cycle - 60% ideal, 30% volumetric, 35% to 40% Diesel Cycle - 55% ideal, 40% volumetric, 40% to 45% Cost per KW / is highest for Rankine / Brayton engines, abviously cost per KW is far higher when considering Internal Combustion engines, however no one has been able to make a nuclear reactor to fit in a car it would be cool though :D. Even when considering up to 50% system losses (heat, friction, electrical resistance...) Nuclear scales far better than any other alternative. That being said the Ideal (E=MC^2) is only achieved by Matter Anti-matter conversion, and it is only theoretical due to the complete lack of Antimatter and the problems we have creating it.

  22. Re:Seriously, WTF? on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 5, Informative

    Well, here's a comparison
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion
    Gasolene - 47MJ/KG
    Kerosene - 46.2MJ/KG
    Diesel - 45MJ/KG
    Atomic Fission (U235)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_dioxide
    http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/nucene/u235chn.html
    1KG of U235 has about 17.5KiloTons of Energy
    17.5(4.184*10^12J) or
    7.322*10^10MJ

    Atomic Fusion p+B11 *now with less killing! (it's called Anutronic Fusion since it has no radiation) p +11Bâ'3(4He)+ 8.7 MeV (or 1KG of B11 can produce 17.7GWh of electricity)or 17.7(3.6*10^12J)which is about 63.7*10^10MJ

    In terms of Energy:
    1KG of U235 = 1.557*10^9KG of Gasolene

    (that's 9 orders of magnitude better) 1KG of B11 = 13.55*10^9KG of Gasolene

    So yes it's HORRIBLY efficent, not quite as efficent as Matter + Anti-matter however we haven't figured out how to build that kind of reactor yet, and we'd need a plentiful source of antimatter.

    At $57/LB uranium is far cheaper than Gas. I'm pretty sure Borax is cheaper than Uranium.
