Had you read TFA you'd realize that it's you who's mistaken.
In their experiments, the researchers reduced the LED’s input power to just 30 picowatts and measured an output of 69 picowatts of light - an efficiency of 230%. The physical mechanisms worked the same as with any LED: when excited by the applied voltage, electrons and holes have a certain probability of generating photons. The researchers didn’t try to increase this probability, as some previous research has focused on, but instead took advantage of small amounts of excess heat to emit more power than consumed. This heat arises from vibrations in the device’s atomic lattice, which occur due to entropy.
This light-emitting process cools the LED slightly, making it operate similar to a thermoelectric cooler. Although the cooling is insufficient to provide practical cooling at room temperature, it could potentially be used for designing lights that don’t generate heat. When used as a heat pump, the device might be useful for solid-state cooling applications or even power generation.
But they shouldn't because they're hypocrites that can't even follow their own rules and the standards they assume from other countries. However in this case I say go for it but try to keep the civilian casualties and tortures at minimum this time.
You really think the TSA is making your flight that much safer? I could only imagine how quickly the TSA officials get highway hypnosis when staring at the screen. There's some dangerous shit the TSA lets through while confiscating your bottled water (and if your "water" is dangerous, you can sometimes pick it out of the trash after you go through if no one is watching). Not to mention that there are better ways for security. I'd be cool with chemical sniffers.
It's more likely that a plane goes down due to failure than terrorist attack and even more likely that you die in a car crash on the way to the airport, but I'm no statistician. Sure the TSA may have risen the bar for the so called terrorists but common, have some balls. It's like physical DRM, it mostly affects the honest people.

Google is not responsible for your CC info. Find the merchants and tell on them.
Surely you meant to say you idiot's.
Bradley Manning is a hero, he did the right thing.
I did and... sold!
Wasn't that figured out in Plan 9 using file system namespaces and 9P? I'd love to see what the Linux community could do with that.

I believe it has something to do with fructose.
Just shut it down, it forces them to deal with it.
Here's something I'm sure some of you'll find interesting: http://www.ted.com/talks/cheryl_hayashi_the_magnificence_of_spider_silk.html
All I have to say is "lulz". I can haz lulzworthy?
Use the app to see the checkpoints and drive on those roads.
XMPP is now specified by RFC 6120 and RFC6121, but don't mind that. I think GP was referring to http://opencompute.org/
absurd beliefs anywhere, right up there with scientology
You are so sued!
Ever heard of the Oops-Leon?
the US are the world police.

I thought the robot fish was pretty clever. Here's a video of one that was caught by a fisherman.
Hah stupid foreigners you ain't seen nothing yet - don't fuck with us! You've been warned!
IIRC they were mapping broadcast SSID to GPS locations to get more accurate location system for Android phones.
Your bookmarks and data will be "safe" in the cloud.
Here's a video on Youtube showing the prototype during testing, I'm sure it's only a glitch.
