In the last year or so there's been a new battery research story every month promising longer lasting batteries that are smaller and usually cheaper. Yet the most advanced you can buy are still just play Lithium Polymer batteries which seem to power my Android phone for about 15 minutes.
Call me when this research turns into a produced battery.
I have a very close female friend who's out of sorts because she's always been told that her being sexually adventurous is bad, and that she shouldn't like sex. It tears her up inside, and she feels that she needs to hide that side of her from her friends and family. She feels that since she likes sex, she should feel like a whore.
It's assholes like you that did that to her. She's broken inside, and hell if I know if it's fixable.
Oh boo hoo? Given the choice between losing the well and having the well spill all of it's contents into the ocean and causing havoc on the environment in the Gulf, Florida, the Atlantic and possibly around Europe once it gets into the Gulf Stream, I think we should deprive BP of a few billion dollars.
Spys? That's quite harsh. There's many scientists from different countries working all around the globe. Many European ones in the US as well, and US scientists in Europe for instance. If a US scientist works in the EU, does that make him a traitor or a spy? It makes him a scientist. Science advances through different information being shared and further developed on. China and the US are not in a war, so to label them as spies seems rather odd.
I had a similar idea once, except using electrons instead of lasers. It also required a vacuum tube for the electrons to travel through. I called it the Fluorescent Electron Cathode Konduit, or FECK for short. After considering it a while, I thought the concept was rather ludicrious and without merit, so abandoned it.
I have a serious problem with the government spending my tax dollars on rural electricity lines, and then still enabling the dumb electricity companies to monopolize and charge whatever they want for electric.
If we are paying for the infrastructure, we should own it, and we should be able to share it. Sure, there will be costs. But let's share the costs then, not pretend some capitalist market magic will make us all happy with great service, healthy competition, and constant innovation. I have horrible service, only one company to choose from, and my electricity is a piece of shit. It blackouts for 5 seconds then goes destroys my equipment with surges.
According to the linked(!) wikipedia article, they've been trying to decode it since 1629, which is nearly 400 years, not just 100. One of the big mysteries seems to be how old it exactly it. Why has no one tried carbon dating this book yet?
Back when the VOC (what you would call the DEIC) was operating, the world was generally at war with everybody, competing for many resources. They had to arm themselves to get a slice of the pie, otherwise other countries would take it instead. I guess what's really different between to two is that when the VOC was around, everybody was competing with guns, but these days it's just the Somalians.
What if she faints causing paramedics get called, they feel no pulse and bring out the defibrilator(sp?)? As medical staff are so used to people having a pulse this could lead to disaster, could it not? I do presume that there is no real need for organisms to have a pulse and the body works fine with continual blood flow.
The only game I regularly play is GranTurismo, and with version 5 they're going to introduce micropayments as well, appearently if you want to buy all cars and all tracks, it will set you back several thousand dollars. Come on! With GT4, you got all cars and all tracks in the single payment! It's just a total rip off. Makes me think twice about actually buying it when it'll come out and that with my favourite game ever. Any other game with micro payments would not enter my house hold.
Operating Systems are not trivial and hardware support is a real pain. It takes years even for large communities to do this and even a community as big as Linux's doesn't always get it right, neither do some companies for that matter. They look as if they're a small team trying to do a great deal.
I remember using BeOS on an old Pentium 166MHz with little RAM and being able to play many songs, browse and play videos and the same time when Linux and Windows struggled to do any one of these on the machine.
Sure, most people won't be interested, but variety is the spice of life and if some of the good aspects of BeOS get adopting, it will be a good thing for everybody.
When I tried out BeOS R4, I was really impressed but couldn't really use it day to day. Ever since then I've been looking for the next best thing but never found it. I've tried Syllable and that seems great, but no WiFi support means I can't connect to the Internet, so it's useless. Haiku should have some support for this, so I might give it a try soon!
Unlike Syllable Haiku also supports Firefox, so I hope Amarok can be used too, that would be absolutely awesome.

Sign me up for one. Maybe 5.
That's harsh. I'm sure they'll put it on ebay or craigslist before hiding it in a drawer.
Imagine all the Clearasil ads on the self portraits of most /.ers!
Zing!

Fuck society.
Give her my number, I'll give her some therapy.
The cache is 4GB, the drive is up to a 500 GB 'traditional' drive.
So you just use an SSD as cache, writing to it very often, exactly what they're really bad at?

Some things just can't be unread and unimagined.

At the very least this is one laser you don't want to look into with your remaining eye.
Booooobiiiieeees!!
If that happens during the winter, you're talking a LOT of people freezing to death.
Buy stock in petrol, natural gas and coal companies now. Perhaps in Honda as well (electrical generators).

Man, am I proud to be an American.
And water, and health care, and ... ?

there's just too many people on planet earth
So the only way to cure the planet is to kill the people. You'd best do the honourable thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku#Ritual
Let me know how that works out.

Yeah, so by the time it comes out, it will have 4 years worth of inflation bolted on top.
