It seems to me practical solid state lighting is 10 years off from whenever you ask
That's a nearly universal truth when it comes to technology. Ten years means "stuff has to happen that we are nearly clueless about how to do." Once the clues come in the estimates drop to five years or less, in which case is usually really is ten years.
Clearly the professors (Markus Zahn and at least one other) have studied the invention and cannot explain the result.
I don't think that quite so clear. He observed it and then only a few hours later was asked what he thought. And he essentially said "I'm thinking about it." So at this point all we can assume it that there were no blatantly obvious flaws such as with the N-Rays deal.
The article itself is terrible. It has the feel of pro-paranormal type articles, where the main problem is dealing with the skeptics and nay-sayers who refuse to have an "open mind."
Beethoven spins in his grave providing mechanical energy to generator.
One unfortunate side-effect is that in the mean time his symphonies begin disappearing. When pressed for an answer, Professor Zahn explains "Well of course. He's decomposing."
Unfortunately, there are no other auction sites to come close to the exposure that eBay has.
I keep hoping that Google gets around to doing one, but it seems less likely than before. I don't get it. Google, more than anybody else, could make money from customers' buying and browsing habits, and bring the seller fees down to where it's a much more viable business.
Google's in the business of selling ads, and here's a perfect opportunity to learn more about what people really want to spend money on. Seems like a no-brainer, but I guess not.
There are times where I've wanted to leave negative or neutral feedback, but won't because I know I'll get retaliated and the negative feedback hurts me a lot more
Same with me. I've had a few small problems, specifically one where something was a lot more "used" than it appeared, but I've got 100% positive feedback. The cost of leaving negative feedback for something like that is too high.
And I noticed the other day that one said proclaimed that his system would automatically post positive feedback about the buyer as soon as the buyer gave him positive feedback. That just doesn't seem right.
The $20,000+ is to improve reproductive success, not provide transport. And that is a very valuable thing.
You're living in the wrong place. Stop spending all that money. Save it, invest it, pile it up as fast as you can. Then move to a country where attractive and intelligent women years your junior will line up to meet you. Sure, you can play the "great marriage" lottery now, but it's a really bad bet.
It's odd that most people are willing to pay $20,000 for a car they drive 30 minutes a day
The problem with that comparison is that spending $20,000 on a car is one of the stupidest things that young people do. It's already an absurd amount of money, and if they figured out how much it actually cost them in future, if they would instead invest some of that money, then the decision to buy that car is completely brain-damaged.
So then what your argument is saying is essentially "If you're so stupid that you would do X, then how can you not do Y, which is not nearly as stupid."
You made it seem as if you won't buy from Apple on principle, but then you're talking about purchasing Sony products because of their quality. The reason I don't buy Sony products has nothing to do with their quality, and everything to do with Sony's root kit.
I think Sony makes some fine products. But I don't want to do business with them.
Having to live your life in constant pain is worse than you can imagine if you've never had to go through it
Twice in my life I've had extended periods of continuous pain. It was amazing to me how much it affected my life. Interacting with people was a chore, I had no wit at all, whereas usually I'm happy and joking. I stopped looking forward to things. I was fortunate in that at least I knew it probably wasn't permanent. Had it been I likely would have wanted to make it stop by whatever means I could.
Had I never experienced that pain I would not be able to understand how it could be intolerable.
So you think it's fair to charge $2 to slap a $.20 RFID tag on a pallet?
If they charged their cost, then the supplier could, in effect, "hire" the Walmart guy to put the tags on. It's much simpler - no need to buy the tags or equipment, and no chance of error. Walmart's aim is not to get the $2, it's to get the supplier to put the tags on.
Slashdot Mirror
Because your brain groups the term 'Real Estate' into realuh-state. So then of course the person selling realuh-state is a realuh-tor.
That's my hypothesis, anyway.
Your write. Eye due knot no watt they whir thinning. Eye all ways ewes bash and eek lips four every thing.
They were also behind the ATM machine. Then they got caught by the cleaning lady.

Sure, right up until somebody steals it.
Oh, OK. My apologies. No quarrel there. At least he seemed to read the article. Usually slashdotters solve problems based just on the summary.

So then could I collect from them on my own copyrighted works as well?
If I crank out a few tunes before each trip it could pay for itself.

One of the nice things about patents is that unlike copyright they actually expire in a reasonable amount of time.
Just a tip: Your friends hanging out down at the 7-11 at night are not a good source of wisdom and advice.
Saying you code with punch cards instead of assembly is like saying you use a keyboard instead of C++.
I don't think Americans are even allowed to own any Europeans any more.
According to your theory that should be "unfortunately," shouldn't it?
I think Sony makes some fine products. But I don't want to do business with them.
Well that, and you get to be Employee Of The Month a lot.
You won't buy an Apple product and yet you're willing to buy from Sony?
Seems reasonable to me, too. Isn't that what I said?
Right up until this spoiler I was looking forward to reading it.
