On two motherboards. And only faster on one of them. Touting it as "fastest in the world" is kind of misleading when it only is fastest on one motherboard chipset.
Solar panels with his 3D cells would provide 500 times more light absorption than commercially-available solar cells and nine times more than cutting-edge 3D solar cells.
500x the light absorption not 500x the efficiency. Tommy participates in class but does not pay attention...
Or what if someone driving along has a device under their car that consists of a grinding wheel that is feed by a magazine of rare earth magnets. I would imagine coating the ground with very magnetic powder would probably screw the system up, not to mention what it would do to the cars behind it as a fine dusting of magnetic powder goes into their engine.
Um, you do realize that the bottom of your car is made of METAL right? Neither the magnets, nor the powder, would never reach the ground. Not to mention, any decent rare earth magnets are incredibly difficult to separate from each other. (I used to sell them at a science store and have gotten many bruises trying to pry them apart and many blood blisters when they snapped back together again.)
You're a software engineer and can't figure out how to uninstall unused old kernels? You don't even have to open up a configuration file. Just uncheck the kernel in synaptic. If you manage to get an internet connection make sure you update everything and get at least 8.04 (Hardy Heron). There are TONS of fixes for damn near everything on the ubuntuforums. If you are a software engineer you should REALLY be able to fix anything in ubuntu with little trouble. Not to mention you should be used to having to tinker with shit to get it to work exactly the way you want it.
IIRC there is a large amount of fissile material already on the moon. You just need a reactor up and running first to power all the tools to mine for more fuel.
It seems silly to nickel and dime-ing us for texting (actually that'd be quarter-ing, but that brings up excessive imagery...). I pay for a plan that gives me minutes for calls. Why not just deduct a minute for each text? Any text is clearly only going to take you the equivalent of less than a minute of a normal phone call to say. Why not just charge that way? Adding on.25 each time I text seems retarded when I have 300 unused minutes each month (I'm on the lowest minute plan too). Thankfully I at least get free incoming calls, texts, and photos. The lowest texting plan is still actually below the amount I pay for texting now. So it's still more cost effective for me to pay per text than to sign up for a texting plan. This is only because I don't respond to texts unless it is important. If they would charge differently I'd probably use it more often. It just bugs the shit out of me looking at my bill when I get charged extra for texts while I never come close to exhausting 3/4 of my minutes...
I'd also like to know how to remove SecuROM from my system entirely. (Preferably keeping my games working properly) I installed a game and inadvertently got SecuROM without realizing it. Didn't know that Dawn of War Soulstorm had it on it until after it was on both of my systems. I'd like to keep playing the game. But SecuROM occasionally screws up my ability to burn a cdr. Backing up my music is a pain in the ass when a third of the discs error half way through burning.
However funny, it does have interesting ramifications. What will the pressure threshold be for receiving the telepresence signal? If it goes into pr0n type devices, how sensitive will it be? How hard can it squeeze? A soft grip? A pinprick? The snap of a whip? Hard enough to sever skin or crush blood vessels? There are important safety issues to look into for this.
I was always fascinated by particle physics but it's been a while since I studied it. Can someone explain how a proton-antiproton collision (u,u,d quarks and anti-u,anti-u,anti-d quarks) could produce strange quarks? I thought all that was left after a matter-antimatter collision was x-rays and gamma-rays.
Don't be ridiculous. With the advent of portable games, video ipods, laptops, and blackberries you can now play video games and download music and porn WHILE you vote.
Why is a social security number, a number that helps the social security administration track payments, 'private information'?
Isn't that the bigger problem? Instead of spending more and more money to hide this number (or blame companies who lose such data), intelligent people should be asking why this number should be private.
Are you serious? Why is your bank account info private information? Why is your home address private information? Why is your cell number private information? Because these are nobody's business but yours and the company it comes from.
Ok, amphetamines I can see, but weed? It doesn't exactly make your reflexes better and it's hard to pay attention when you laugh incessantly for no apparent reason. But I suppose it could help you focus more intently if... man my hands are HUGE... wait, what was I saying again?...
WTF? Are you serious? My roommate bought one of these from a flea market. There are "thousands" of games that on it that are just different revisions of the same 10-15 games. How is selling these illegal? The games are over a decade old. Most of the developers aren't even in business anymore. What a joke.

Slashdotted already? Anyone have an alternate link?
Torrents take time. On-demand video does not. You can't really compare the two anymore than you can compare TV with a DVR with on-demand TV.
And yet it's the same video, same filesize, using the same cable lines. Funny how that works, huh?

I just moved out of my mom's basement.
I take it you don't have 4 teenagers at home...
Sorry, I'm just pissed off at the micro-issue morons. Gun control, telco immunity, abortion rights, etc. These "micro-issues' distract from the whole.
Yup, wouldn't want that pesky little parchment called the "Constitution" to get in the way of the real issues...

Thanks for the link. I wish I knew about this years ago. Will recommend to all my friends.
How does this translate into normal transfer speed units like MB/s? Otherwise I have no point of reference to tell if I am impressed or indifferent.

Is it too much to ask that the genetic material be completely error-free?
Not if your plan is to halt evolution in its tracks.
