It was practical 30 or more years ago. I've read TFA. They basically experiment with materials changing their optical properties after being treated with a laser pulse - exactly the same tech used in CD and DVD. And laser discs before that.
But wait - now it is groundbreaking - they are doing it on a single storage cell. And they call it a "chip".
Simple electronic Casio is basically eternal and much more precise than your Omega. Omega is not even that awesome, I was referring to like Patek Philippe. I can buy new watch every month for the rest of my life for the price of one of those.
Roads are not flat. All highways are curved with sides being lower when the center. Even the slightest inclination of the road will force to make an angled seem between the tiles, which will create a significant vibration in that place of the road. It will be destroyed in a matter of months.
Who cares about the glass? Massive infrastructure, expensive hardware, expensive installation, maintenance and repair. Just those alone make the projet non-feasible.
I have a feeling it would not be economically sensible even if they donated the panels for free
Yes it is funny to hear people say "I don't want to trust my life to software". Then the same people have no problem flying on airplanes, that today completely depend on 100% reliable software. But driverless car? "No-no, I don't trust computer."
I wonder how they are planning on supporting it. Apparently chip-and-pin was created specifically to prevent cloning. Here in Canada chip and pin are everywhere, I think all of my cards are chipped now.I can't imaging USA being too far behind.
Better question is, how is that cool? You are the first to be on that planet for a brief moment only. After that there will be longest end of your life. It's like prison for life with no chance of parole. You don't have to travel that far to be the first one to do something pointless.
Intel's one is also estimate. There is no way to validate either one of them. And, they of the same order of magnitude, so it really is unfair to stipulate that McAfee exaggerated theirs.
What bothers me, is how BU could prove or even know that a random no-name Chinese manufacturer of LEDs that Apple employs in their design, uses BU's patented process in manufacturing, as opposed to some other process?
Focus groups said they liked it. It was new, of course it's obviously better.... That wasn't the case when we scaled up the experiment though, eh?
So... What are you saying, this research could be flawed and more study is required? I really would like to get to the bottom of this clapping duration.

I can't believe these are not powered by AI.

Wow. That is soooooo cool.

Remarkable, in the same way that hand made Swiss watches are remarkable. Really awesome, but pointless at the same time.
You mean, start over and rewrite everything they've done so far in ARM assembler?
I was just considering upgrading my laptop to W7, and support already ended????

There are so many obvious issues here, it is not even funny. What is funny, is that when you bring them up people go "oh, you are so negative"

You are on a wrong web-site. Slashdot is for nerds. You just posted such utter non-sense, you can't be a nerd. Go away.

Geeky females also do not spend a lot of time in front of mirror. So it fails there, too.
YET????

The project is stillborn
My thought exactly. What seems to be the problem? The money were not lost. Just redistributed.
Somebody passes an isle with his gf and is offered XS size condoms. I see a potential lawsuit against the store here.
Perhaps, in the past.I seriously doubt that is still true. Modern USB keyboards have no special handling for C-A-D.
You travel abroad and you want to use local data or mobile plan.
How cool is that?

Fine, as long as research grants spent on problems as opposed to this nonsense.
I mean, important stuff, like cure for cancer?
They have to study what is obvious to anybody with a bit of a common sense? And how is this non-story ends up on /.?
So they traced, now what? It is not enough to penalize anybody.
