The modern Hydrogen economy has to get over a huge hurdle in the wide-scale distribution network of H2.
Distribution for H2 is pathetically inefficient. In order to ship it at an efficient level, they have to compress it into liquid form. That takes up a lot of energy, along with the associated costs of now transporting a very cold liquid (yeah - not very energy efficient either).
If H2 can be made using a novel approach, you can minimize the huge potential transport and distribution costs by setting up a lot of small production facilities (local refineries?).
What you and everyone else that says this fails to remember, is this.
Doom 3 is a REMAKE of Doom. That's right. They said years ago that they weren't going to do anything but recreate the game using a new, fantastic, groundbreaking engine (maybe i added those adjectives, but it was implied).
Doom was out before Half-life. Half-life was built on an id engine.
So what you are saying is that Doom 3 is a half-life game, which was a Doom game...
Doom 3 = Half-life = Doom, ergo Doom 3 = Doom.
BRILLIANT!!!!
I'm also annoyed that people like you are complaining about the darkness and the flashlight. I think it's a great idea to have the audience sweat it out in the dark, panicking about whether or not they've hit anything. It's called tension. It's called a new gameplay method. It's called frightening. Obviously you can turn up the gamma and wash out the rest of the environment, but what fun would that be? I think the flashlight being treated as a weapon is one of the most immersive ideas that has come out of any studio in a long time.
I've waited a long time to play this game, and i am not being disappointed. I've waited a long time to play HL2, and i'm sure i won't be disappointed by that either.
I was putzing around with an old vendor CD the other day, when i came up with a low budget model of what you're looking to achieve. I stuck the CD onto magic marker, and flung it forward while spinning the disk backward with my left hand.
It worked rather well - but i guess it depends on your point of view. The person whome I hit in the neck, making a red line across his throat probably wouldn't have thought it was so successful.
With great CD power comes great CD responsibility.
You'd be amazed what you can find on Kazaa when you search for documents with password or resume or account as the keyword. People don't realize that you don't need to be a hacker to break into your machine - just someone with access to the folder you share on and P2P network...which, if it happens to be your My Documents folder....look out.
These tips are great, but i think that everyone would see a big improvement in their picture quality if they followed the #1 of photography - fill the frame.
9 times out of 10, when you're shooting someone or something, you need to prioritize what the focus of the photo is supposed to be, and fill the frame with it. The rest of the composition usually falls into place.
It's the simplest way to get better composition without a lot of extra thinking. Either use your feet, or use your zoom and get closer to your subject.
If you can manage to have a dish that has all of those tastes, in equal proportion, you'll actually eat less since it will be more satisfying.
I'd have to agree with the salt comment. Too many people leave salt for the table, where it only adds flavor to the finished product. If you season (salt) your food while you cook (i.e. sweating onions? add some salt to flavor and draw out the water) you develope layers of flavor that are stacked on top of one another. Overall, your food will taste better, and you won't have to salt it at the table (which may be a hard habit to break at first).
Finally, somebody has come up with a factory that can create the plasma needed for all of those big, flatscreen TV's. I just hope this drives the price down.

Too right. We patch all of our machines using our own window update server - it's really the best way we've found to handle this type of situation. We've got it set up to synchronize with the Windows Update servers every night, and Group Policies make sure that everyone's machine checks our update server every day at noon to make sure they have the appropriate patches (BTW - Windows 2000 has had over 1800 patches and security fixed put out for it!!).
Now, having said that, I still get many, many hits every day on my SuSE box at home from people infected with Code Red.
Just because we may be secure, doesn't mean that half of the corporations and 99% of home users are.
I get your point, and it annoys me that it the MPAA is saying that I'm only licensed to view the video in it's prescribed manner, on an authorized device.
But I have a question - isn't this a bit like the label on a can of spray paint - you know the one - it's unlawful to use this product in any manner other than its intended use (I'm paraphrasing). If I buy a can of silver spray paint from Walmart and then huff it in my living room for 30 minutes, I'm breaking the law. Not because i don't own the paint in the can, but because i'm using the paint in a manner that isn't in line with its intended use.
Now, if I buy a DVD, what am i buying - the video, right (it's not like i'm buying a game, which is in fact only a license to play the game, really)? Does it say anywhere on that DVD that I can only use it in a manner prescribed by the manufacturer? I mean - there's a FBI warning about not copying it, but i'm pretty sure I have to actually watch it to see that warning. But to my knowledge, it doesn't state anywhere that I've only purchased the right to view the video on prescribed hardware under a specific license agreement.
I attended a wedding around that time, and instead of driving off in a limo, the bride and groom zoomed off in a Ferrari 308. Naturally, all of the guys in attendance were huddled around the car at the reception and i distinctly remember thinking "WTF?! The speedometer only goes up to 85?!"
Good to know it was just good ol' Governmental control in effect.
I was curious to see everyone's response to this (well, everyone that has a better idea of the implications of this working, that is) and i'm surprised there aren't more posts!
Is this a sign that we've stopped caring about "cold fusion"? Is the fact that this field has had a less-than-credible past hurt this discovery? Is this a discovery? Have movies like Chain Reaction spoiled us into thinking that this is a pipe dream?
This movie looks kick-ass. I hop it's going to have worldwide distribution, or at least worldwide DVD distribution.
Plot #1 : (Loosely Translated from the Official Site) The great 50 year war continues, as for the world is divided into two camps: Asian federal republic and European combination.
On an end of a long fight, Asian federal republic wins control over the East Asian Eurasian continent. But the victory caused a great devastation of human nature. The actions of chemical weapons and germ weapons resulted in major chemical injuries and a large "radioactivity" virus.
Doctor Higashi, whose wife is suffering from the "radioactivity" illness, creates a "new structure cell" theory... a theory that would create a new powerful human structure and a new life body. (Casshern?)
Though dismissed by the hygienic ministry, Higashi continues his research with the help from a troop of authorized personnel (who is utilizing the theory because of their own selfish desire).
Plot #2: Made for 5 billion yen, "Casshern" tries to address the idealistic question proposed in Shakespear's "Hamlet" (Why do people fight with each other?) It is also a continuation of the Japanese animation, "Shinzou Ningen Casshern" which was broadcasted back in 1973. A riot occurs within the robots that were made to clean up environmental pollution. As a result, a professor of robotic engineering revised his "son" Casshern to calm the riot.
Plot #3: The world has taken a different path as we know it today. The great war has gone on for 50 years and the world is divided into two groups, the Republic of Asia and the European Union. After the long battle, the Republic of Asia came out as the victor and it has come to take over the Eurasian Continent. However, the only thing that came out of this was the demise of the human spirit, chemical weapons, germ warfare, viruses derived from nuclear bombs, the prognostic symptoms of radioactivity, and the razed land. Will mankind just sit there and look at the fall of its kind?

Let's hope we have another curse on the tomb to revitalize the 50's mummy movies craze.
umm...because then it wouldn't be as funny?
I was making a joke.
I mean seriously. As cool as this is, who wants to have a jaw on their shoulder? If you had a clone, you could put the jaw on his shoulder.
No fuss, no muss.

This could be a pretty big deal.
I wonder what the new life expectancy of these super metabolizers is.
You wouldn't mind posting some BBS information for the ACSII-porn goldmines you've been holding out on.. would ya?
It's not very up-to-date if Doom 3 isn't there. I searched, but alas, it is missing.
The game has a half-life story.
What you and everyone else that says this fails to remember, is this.
Doom 3 is a REMAKE of Doom. That's right. They said years ago that they weren't going to do anything but recreate the game using a new, fantastic, groundbreaking engine (maybe i added those adjectives, but it was implied).

The robots in I Robot are made by US Robotics. Does that mean that they run an evolved version of Palm OS?

Aw, cmon man. I did this kinda stuff when i was 10 in Defender. Honestly, it's not that hard. You just have to watch out for the mountains.
