Actually how about this for a solution. Take this chip and put it on a a PC-Board with an sata connector on the end. There you go. A small limp to hand off a sata port. I would also bet that you will see the same board with an esata connector on it for a next gen flash drive.
"some electrical tape wrapped around the drive/cable connection to make sure it wouldn't come out), and then zip tied the drive to the side of the case" Amateur Pros use heat shrink tubing and double sided foam tape.
If you did pretty well in Chemistry then your school sucked. Simple as that. Coal is mostly carbon. The vast majority of the energy your get from burning coal comes from bonding carbon to oxygen. So to break those bonds will take more energy than you got form making them. So you will have to use a lot more energy than you got to make the coal to convert the CO2 into carbon! So yes you really should have failed chemistry if you do not get that basic idea down. And yes if you could do it then you would have a perpetual motion machine and all our problems would be solved.
So it is less than 1/3 of all emissions. And how much would we save by all unnecessary SUVs being removed from the road? Maybe 20% of that total. Remember that is all transportation, trucks, trains, buses, ships, planes, and cars. As I said exaggerated. The biggest contribution comes from coal. While way too many people use an SUV to commute to work in they are just not the demon that people make them out to be.
I was going to post something but the idea of making a power plant split the 0 from CO2 just about put me into a fit of laughter. That would be unburning the coal. And would take more power than you got from burning it in the first place. Please just stop at this point you almost made mr=y drink come out my noise. BTW you are emitting CO2 but I suggest that you do not stop as that would be bad.
Really the point was that when people rant about SUVs they are looking at the spec in someone else's eye but missing the plank in their own. To reduce carbon look at the amount of emisons for the power produced. Coal is the worst, followed by oil based fuels, and then you have Natural Gas at the bottom. That isn't counting "renewables" like biofuels. Or none combustion fuels like nuclear.
Actually that is also a myth. Well more of an exaggeration. Autos do contribute to CO2 production but they are not the big problem. The big problem are coal fired power plants. Yes every little bit hurts but the SUV has gotten an unfair amount of blame because it is such visible example of people choosing to waste fuel.
Mozilla doesn't have to license h.264. If you are Windows use the windows codecs. If you are on Mac you use Quicktime. If you are on Linux us the mplayer frame work. There you now have support for h.264. If Mozilla doesn't do that somebody in the EU will just fork it and add it. Or we will get a plug in that will do it unless Mozilla blocks it. So no I am not worried about H.264 support and firefox. I will admit that I have started to use Chrome a lot. It is really fast and I do like it. Firefox is still very good good but Chrome has become my default Windows browser.
Well a rocket is really nothing more than a really big burner with a nozzle. So yes I see this as nothing but a big steam kettle. The other option would be a gas turbine but then you would almost need to have some kind of EGR to make it work. If you add in NO2 to the a standard gas turbine I would think that it would tend push the temps very high and cause NOx creation issues. Using an oxidizer in a gas turbine at sea level would seem to just be a problem in the making. Unless the CH4 happens to be mixed with a lot of inert gas and maybe even water vapor then it could work but again still way too much trouble. In this case I say go with the tea pot.
Simple they are not really going to use it as a rocket motor. My guess that is more PR than anything. Think of it as more of a wielding torch. IE it is going to be a burner. You but a big tank of water over it and make steam. steam that turns a turbine. Or you could use it with a Stirling engine but they cost more than a simple steam turbine.
I would love for this to mandate HD radio. One of the new cell phones I am looking at has an FM radio in it. but not HD radio. Our local NPR station has more than one channel of HD radio and I like the extra options that HD radio offers.
The other thing I would value is a notification system.If they are going to put on an FM radio how about a NOAA weather radio?
The down side to all of this is that they only work when you plug in your head phones. Every cell I have seen with an FM radio use the headphones as the antenna.
The thing here is we are talking about software patents. I agree that they should be tossed out. But when we are talking about devices then patents are of use to society as a whole.
The fashion industry if full of innovation? Dud they sell people nothing but fluff. Fashion is when someone convinces you that something is beautiful when it really isn't. It is a con because anything that is beautiful is always beautiful.
Yea fashion makes a boat load of money on planned obsolescence and vanity. I am now waiting for someone to show me some great innovation from the fashion industry that isn't patented. BTW new types of fabrics like microfiber and gore-tex are patented.
If you just want to try it I can think of two solutions. One is get an Intel ITX board. Extremtech built a OpenSolaris system using a year to two ago. They tend to be sub $100 boards. Or use a VM. I suggest a free one like.. VirtualBox? It is was owned by Sun and I am guessing does a good job at running OpenSolaris.http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/virtualbox.html
But the lack of hardware support can also be fixed by the community as long as it is OSS. And when it comes to OSS OSs I vote for the more the better.
Hey it is Solaris. You don't have to try it on some old server or white box to see if it will really work. And how hard is it to find an vanilla intel box? One with an Intel chipset? Once you do your good to go.
I have never used IronRuby so I may not understand it. Does this take Ruby and compile it so I can have and executable?
If so I can really she the use for it. I have a lot of perl code that I would love to give to other people to run. It is a real pain to have to install perl and several extensions just to get a script to work. So I can see the value of a compiler. Yes I know that they would still need the.net stuff but that is an easy install.
I actually like web directories for somethings. Suppose you are thinking of moving. Or just want to find out about a town. You could go to the directory and find all sorts of links to that things in that town or about that town. Now I just Google the town and hope the chamber of commerce site doesn't suck. Also search doesn't usually find new sites. If you create a great site on a subject it will be a while before it shows up in the search ratings until other sites like to you and you rise in the rankings. I still use my.yahoo as one of my home pages along with iGoogle which looks a lot like my.yahoo
To me Yahoo just got too cluttered. It became a bit of a mess. The good services are hard to find and those big banner ads drove me away "or to use adblockers".
"Perhaps leaking everything you can get your hands on it's always the best thing to do." Which was the original statement. And no not even in government is it a good thing. And really not in military. For instance do you really think it would be for the best to publish blue prints for all US nuclear weapons? Or for any? Or the complete specifications of the Aegis missile system? Or the complete plans of the Virginia class Submarine? A prime example of this came from WWII. The Japanese where not sinking many US subs. A senator wanted to know why. He was told that the Japanese depth charges where set to shallow. He told a reporter and it got published. Soon there where a good number of dead US sailors. Well that may have help the Japanese for a time but it sure hurt the families of those sailors. It also hurt a lot of US solders that ended up facing Japanese troops that got resupplied. So no leaking everything is a bone dead stupid idea.
Well it is good that no one man can pass what every he wants. As to blame. Sure you can blame him for a lot of things. The patriot act is still in force. He is pushing for a secret trade and copyright treaty. I hate his gutting of the space program. Don't give him a pass for the things that he as done. Surprise he is a politico just like Bush and Clinton. He doesn't walk on water.
But the original post to which I was replaying was blaming Cheney for Obama calling for a crack down on wiki leaks. Which I actually do approve of in this case. I think Wikileaks is going to get a lot of people killed. But if you or anybody else doesn't approve then I can understand. I disagree but I can see where you are coming from. What I can not put up with is this boogie man theory that Obama isn't responsible for what he does! Yes you can put blame on other people for blocking his action but you can not put blame anywhere else for his actions.
Really never? Funny that is not what all the news stories said. It didn't last long but he did have it. But he still does have a majority. But none of that matters since going back to the original post. Obama called on the other governments to try and get this data pulled. He did it. Obama did it. Deal with it. If you do not like it then blame the person that did it. Obama. And stop pulling out the Republican boogie man and trying to blame some dark unseen evil force.
Next bunch of excuses. Really this is just silly. Now it is because the republicans are better organized? Your now saying that President Obama with a much larger majority of his party is less able to get things past than a Republican Vice president when the Repbulicans where in the minority?
What is really sad is that frankly I don't hate Obama. I think he was totally unprepared and unqualified to be President. Frankly most of our Presidents seem to fall in that category. For being thrown into the deep end I think he has done okay. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of repeal of the Patriot act. The name bugs me at a deep level. And I am a firm believer in no domestic wiretaps without a court order. Frankly I always figured that if you where communicating across boarders that was being tapped. I hate his space program. I think it is a disaster. However the simple truth is that for a large part of what people are being stupid about I believe it comes down to this. He found out what Bush did and what do not know. Also I am willing to bet a good number of senators also know which is why they are not saying anything. Simply put the world is not how he saw it. Or how many others see it. When you know what is going on all of a sudden Bush is less of an idiot and Obama is not changing much of what Bush did.
But if you do not like it then fine. STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND BLAMING LAST ADMINISTRATION FOR WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS DOING! Cheney and Bush are not in power any more. Go find a new boogie man.

That is smog and not CO2. CO2 isn't considered a pollutant exactly and plays no part in smog or until it gets really high health issues.
Your talking apples and oranges.

Well are OSs on x86 is a mixed bad depending on your hardware.
Well except for Windows but even that can run into unsupported hardware.
I don't think OpenSolaris was intended to run on ARM , PPC, Power, Mips, or a toaster.
That is why we have NetBSD and Linux.
But that is easy enough to fix.
just how many good FOSS package management systems do we have?
apt-get
yum
ports
I mean really that problem has been solved a number of times.
That would be an easy fix.
Yes
