There is also a basic law of magnetic power losing energy over a distance. Scaling up a fusion reactor results in the need for more power for magnetic containment. A smaller fusion reactor can actually have more containment power than a larger one.
It could be far more efficent to have multiple generators for one simple reason as well, REDUNDANCY. If one fails for any reason, the other generators can share the load and give multiphase power much more efficently.
Another concept is multiple lower frequency clocks
synchronized to a shifted-phase pulse. Think of the electrical
system.
http://www.howstuffworks.com/power.htm
Using lower phase clocks synchronized or varied phase pulses
to create a unifying beat pulse tempo would allow unique timing signals whereas
a two-phase to three-phase to ten-phase shifted pulse would allow the current
clock-speed to magnify simply. The simple downside would be the chip heat
and the impending nuclear core cooling issues we call the
microchip.

They are all banned for life. I will never buy anything made by these crooks or watch their dishonest programs. I don't ban everyone, in fact my banned for life list is rather small. I will forgive small blunders and worker errors. I will not ever fogive outright theft.

Hey! I worked in Burger King when those Burger Bundles came out. They were the same meat as the small patty & larger Whopper patty. They were also a royal pain-in-the-ass (no goatsex jokes please).
First problem was when the tiny patties were put on the flame-broiler loop rack (grilling bars were about 1/2 inch apart I think) the itty bitty patties would fall into the flames (too small for the rack) or get stuck to the rack and get fed through again on the underside of the rack. I'd say we lost about 1/8th of the patties fed in into the grease catcher.
The second problem was going through the effort of pickle, ketchup, and mustard on three times the burgers. The only upside was that we didn't have to feed the mini-buns into the flame broiler too, which gave the burgers a more "hamburger" verses "char-broiled" flavor.
The third issue was that they sold great despite the lost patties to the broiler. Parents would buy these tiny burgers for their kids in a heartbeat (easier for the kid to eat though they got the same amount of meat & bread). That was good for Burger King, but was a nightmare during rush hours. The tiny burgers need time to cook and they displaced room for the larger patties in the steamer and in the flame-broiling loop.
This was almost 10 years ago when I was on the burger board and later moved to specialty board (chicken sandwiches & the fryers). I only worked there for a year before moving onto working in a injection plastics molding factory and 5 years later another factory next door to that one. The annoying Burger Bundles do stick in my memory though.
BTW - I think they would have done better if they'd just made the patties into long rectangles or ovals about the same width with a similar bun design (not as much of an issue on the broiler rack spacing and could be fed in columns during rush hours without displacing the Whopper & medium patties). They still have a kickass flame-broiled chicken breast burger though.
I can just hear the potty jokes now.
Forbid someone having to utter the phrase, "I'm compiling my 'P' program now. It could be awhile before P finishes." Then there'd be P-plus-plus and P-sharp.

I agree. Slashdot may not be an overt influence. It is a better source than most for honest opinions of an educated and interested set which have a cultural memory. If I were a tech-writer looking for the inside scoop on emerging trends, this would be much preferred to the already corrupted forums on tech-trends.
The best part is that we are not boring, have a sense of humor, and minimize the trolls. Most opinions posted here are not given on a profit motive. Plus there's the added incentive Microsoft consistently screwing everyone without shame and apology. The undercurrent of negative opinion is becoming suffocating to those sources paid to defend Microsoft. I liken it to the defenders of George Worthless Bush, making a fool into a prophet is impossible when the fool is so very shameless.

I'd recommend an assault anti-terrorist team detain the entire Microsoft work force, seize the assets, liquidate the assets, and use the cash to pay for the trial and life sentence of Bill Gates on numerous counts of extortion, racketeering, and theft.
Another easy choice would be to stamp that area. A nice ball-peen hammer would crush every chip presented to it. A metal stamper would leave the bill intact and the chip powdered and pulverized.
Apple makes APPLE IIe computer.
Franklin copies that computer exactly.
Franklin sells computer for less money than Apple.
Franklin's research costs amount to effort of copying Apple's PC.
Franklin makes money off a copy.
Apple makes less money.
Copyright law says NAUGHTY.
Apple uses copyright to sue.
Franklin stops making Apple clones.
Did Apple overcharge while Franklin was more efficent? Should Franklin continue making copies? Did people making Apple software lose money with double the buying market? Did Apple lose in the long run if they come out with a better computer that Franklin can copy after more people bought Apple clones? Do we see parallels with the IBM PC market of the same time? Were these lessons lost on Bill Gates?
Copyright is not all powerful and does not decide the fate of the final market. Napster was theft, but not stealing. Free advertising exists for a purpose.
As an artist I start an image in multiple manners.
I start with a key object which is then the center of the scene. Or I have a theme with multiple key objects which then define the scene. Or I choose a direction of flow which then moves the scene to a direction of focal point. Or I tell a story by setting up actions in which the viewer can assume the reactions and impending events.
These collaborative pieces resemble more of a surreal composition. Looking at my examples, one could first decide a theme, then assign artists to particular objects in the scene and background areas. This would allow a more appealing composition (not that surreal art is bad). I just note this so that work broader than tiling collaborations can be made.
So don't even think about it. Someday those profits will just start rolling in...

I don't see that as an error. Note that David's circuitry was probably water-proof, but being an optical computation network in nature, was not opaque-spinach proof.
Again, I do agree that David SHOULD have had a fake digestive system so he wouldn't be harmed by anything entering his mouth or at least a solid-seal which would prevent objects from going past the throat area. Though the basic practical matter of wasting good food for a fake child's supper over the psychological comfort of the parent's feeding time without a fake child eating with them is an issue.
However, as literary devices go, had to be failable so that sympathy could be gained toward David, dislike for the bratty real child, and revulsion by the mother over the emotions she devoted to the fake child.
Even worse, much like the story on "The Daily Show," what happens if you look like actor that reenacted the crime for America's Most Wanted?

WHOA! Let me remind you that the polls exist for one other minor purpose - if the polls differ wildly from what the election result is, there is a clear-cut case of fraud. Imagine the polls saying 30% Yes & 70% No consistently days or months before a vote on a person or issue. Then the election results are 65% Yes & 35% No. Did all these people change their mind or was their vote stolen?
The other issue is disqualified valid votes by election officials marring their opponent's votes (like the Bush Fraud Family did). Go to http://www.bushboyzstolethevote.com/ and see how it was done and the odd ballot return statistics which prove it.

I did a search for "Teddy Bear". In other search engines the image has to have "Teddy" or "Bear" in the file name. This has returned accurate and useful results for files named "Bruno.jpg", "14b483eev.jpg", "Tbb1.gif", and "cinamonted.gif".
I have never seen a search engine that was USEFUL in any manner for image searching without the filename EXCLUSIVELY having one of the search terms. All alternately named files are never returned.
Google, you are still the best!
(Now drop those stupid "common word" exclusions if they are in quotes. That is a really dumb way to make the search engine less useful.)
The example would be:
1) Eat a Monsanto gene-twisted ear of corn.
2) It alters your DNA so that you can ONLY digest Monsanto gene-twisted products.
3) Eating any other food product not from Monsanto will cause nausia or immune reactions.
4) Monsanto rules the world in a gene-slavery food monopoly by providing food to its now permanently captive consumer base.
Sound insane and illegal? I use the Microsoft example as the template and carry it over to Franken-Food (not that Franken-Food HAS to be bad, in fact it could be a vector for improving the Earth near-effortlessly. But a few evil corporations spoil the apple barrel, literally.)
If it weren't for the microwaves potentially screwing up the DNA / RNA, I'd suggest a literal "sneaker-net". Using piezeoelectric walking power to run a wireless internet signal rebroadcaster would be fun. They wouldn't need a wide pipe, just semi-unique locations to retransfer data blindly with.
Or... it could be used to boost a cellphone signal as a secondary transmission source.
Or... something simpler, use the power to heat the shoes in winter (heating coil with NiCad rechargeable battery) or ventilate the shoes for forced cooling in summer (Using a small bellows pump in the back and front pushing air in through hollow flexable bicycle cables to an inner holow vent layer. Flexable PVC channels tend to stay crimped, the bike cables would be more durable. The whole system could be powered by NiCads charged by the piezeoelectric insoles.) This wouldn't be high-tech, but useful in these days of overpriced shoes.
You quantum compute a physics equation. In all universes, the equation is computed.
You peek in on another quantum computer's answer.
The other universe has a different gravitational constant or perhaps gravity that is tripolar. Their equation is correct for their universe, you just got data bogus for your universe.
You run a quantum calculation on a large database of finacial data. The other universe has clients not existing in this universe. You peek at their results (ran of course days in advance of yours by quantum luck), the data you get is not the data you need.
You want a prime number with 10^5000 digits. You want to tap the quantum distributed power of all other possible quantum computers, you want these computers to divide all real numbers below 10^5000 digits to see if there are factors. There are 300 factors. You receive one number back that is the binary add (dropping everything above the 10^5000 digit mark) of those 300 factors. Did the quantum trick work? Perhaps for one or two special cases, not for the general stuff.
