Looks like lots of energy to me, burning wood that fast how many watts will that take? glass is cheap, dishes are cheap, metal container to boil water is cheap. What's the usability of such energy producing machinery?
Here in europe the roads are cluttered with trucks, to get such lift infrastructure along paths which already deal with tonnes of cargo and therefore maybe kill of half of the trucks would be great. Sure a bad thing for the truckdrivers but the alternative is to eventually broaden the road twice or so making every Major highway 8 lanes. This would however cause a lot more pollution and whatnot. Just imagine a lift system on which you could load the standard sea container.
Where is the "News for nerds stuff that matters"? Where is it. Why did you take it away?! I always read it to myself when I went on slashdot to have a happy reading, now It's gone and slashdot will never be the same again..
Awesome in the next independence day or aliens against the world movie we can watch this nice plane in full action!:D At least thats how eh.. I have gotten familiar with most of the other fighters..
I think the people who are saying that 3mbit or 512k upload sufices are right when it really is enough to fulfill their needs. But it might also be a reflection of the digital infrastructure impoverishment thats going on in the US. I mean I live in the rural nothern parts of the Netherlands my neighbor is living 200 meters next to me, our village counts 400 people still we have a 60mbit internet connection, even here.
A small dirtroad might be enough for a 3 doors hatchback but not for a massive 60-ton truck. Internet usage will very likely increase not decrease the next century meaning that in the time the world is getting prepped up for even increasing bandwith demanding constructions the US stays behind.
What if a new and very succesfull digital invention knocks on the door 2 years from now demanding at least a 10 mbit connection. The other higly technological countries will have a easy time incorporating this new technology whereas the US will be facing a very, very costly effort to clear the backlog.
NASAs ultimate solution is offcourse to become the first space bank! You'll be bailed out whenever you need it, no need to lie to the public nobody does that!
Well what if you "die" every night.. Oké thats sounds a little bit dramatic but everytime you go asleep your brains kind of reboots especialy when in deep sleep there is little brain activity. So concious basicly stops every night. No difference as when you just put you brain somewhere else and "wake" up as yourself.
Thats very true, Humans have terrible memory and judgement over time. Countless tests have been done to prove this. Like: "Accept this 20 dollar now or 22 dollar tommorow" over 80% chose now instead of tommorow then if they asked people "accept this 20 dollar in one month or 21 dollar in one month and one day" the majority chose the day after one month. Economists were baffeled by this unrationalistic behavior.. but this is just how humans operate. It's too bad that if extreme Longevity will be possible just a dose of natural evolution to counter this problem will probably be to slow. Concerning our babaristic behavior and nuclear arms.
When it's possible, it's going to happen.

There are a lot off people with the wealth, means and connections to make it happen when it's possible. So wether it should or not is not really the question it's more how the world
is going to be when people will be able to live maybe 500 years or more. Sure the future is very hard to predict but just imagine people could live longer.
Maybe they would actually start to learn to think not only of the short term pleasures and goals but as they have more years to live will actually take more care of the environment.
Living much longer means a way better view on environmental impacts of short term actions and you have to. You have to live in your own mess a lot longer.
Also the wish to have childeren now decreases with live expectancy just imagine people living 500+ years having kids only after 100 years? Perfect! Enough time to plan living space, housing, environmental issue's etc.
Sure there are negative impacts aswell but when this anti aging pill comes on the market I'll take it.
Funny I was smoking one of these E-cigarettes as I was reading you post, Must say It smokes like a cigarette it looks like a cigarette (same size, same "smoke"/vapor consistency) and it's hell of a lot cheaper and more important healthier then smoking regular cigarettes (nicotine is still bad I know but like P said no carcinogens makes it a lot healthier). Great invention of the chinese, thank you!
I never have my laptop on my lap and when then just for a very short time. I mean where to go with the mouse? I use the side of my leg as a mousepad it works but it's hardly comfortable and the touchpad is nervebraking after 5 min. Also, I get backpain of the sitting position. But sure that's just me at least I'm happy now I never got used to it.
Slashdot Mirror
Did he find the circle yet..
They still find tribes in the deep forests of the amazon. Guess it's not a rediculous assumption after all.
Thank god you thought of the kids.. thank you sir for at least having the decency to make her genitals unrecognisable
Do not want you to know there's this much better game in town :p

Only decendants of the church of scientology can live in planets.. until they get shit out by vulcanos
Light years measures distance not time.. It's slashdot I'm allowed to bitch about this..

Why did I need to read 3 times "Lord Jobs: Where is the porn on my iPad, Captain Cook?!" Before I got it right.. Damn. I hate being male.
Dating sites who rape our privacy.. can I see some irony in there?

Now get rid of torture and death sentence and you'll upgrade from stone age to bronze age!

Very creative way of self torturing and suicide :) You know it's used as a torture method in some countries.
