TFA doesn't explain why changing the propellant chemical means that the active medical ingredient has to change as well. Why can't epinephrine be delivered via a non-CFC propellant?
I think you misunderstood what I meant - I was implying using a series of two capacitors charged to a total of 4.2V - rather than one or two capacitors in parallel charged to 2.1V (2.1V is the maximum charge of the capacitor); this would be for cases where 2.1V is an insufficient operating voltage. So the voltage doubles as the capacitance drops in half, doubling the total energy.
Will people stop applying this term to everything? Wi-Fi is referring to wireless LAN, not to any device that happens to use the radio spectrum. Use "wireless", or "radio", or "remote".
Flywheels? The simplest way to store power would be an electric double layer capacitor. No moving parts. They can come in up to 70F at 2.1V - that's 140 C of charge. At 10 mW of power, 2.1V is 5mA of current; that means that it can stay above 1.5V for 2 hours. If a higher voltage is needed, put the capacitors in series.
And these are not huge devices.
Here's a datasheet for one
Diablo II had a duplication bug as well. The system became inundated with Stone of Jordans and other copied objects. These duped items, however, had some internal identifier in common. Blizzard deleted all the copied items, leaving a lot of people who had bought them quite sad. I would not be surprised if the same would be true in WoW. I doubt gold has the same feature though - the stolen gold is probably here to stay. However, I bet there's records of people going in and out of instances - people are going to get busted if this really works. I haven't seen any sign of this exploit happening on my server.
I can't argue that Whitney singing the national anthem is crap. However, many CD's were rejected on decency grounds. I can't believe that this crowd thinks Outkast is crap music. Outkast has many excellent songs, some of which are very political and some of which are about other complex themes. To reject it based on decency grounds is not only censorship, but it's the rejection of the genre as a whole as invalid for public consumption. How did you nerds feel when a judge ruled that video games are not expressive speech? Don't come back and reject the speech of another genre based on similarly idiotic premises.
IRIX might have enterprise-level performance, but it suffers enormously in the usability department. I work in a lab where IRIX is standard, because 64-bit memory addressing and extreme graphics performance using ImageVision is a must. However, I keep running into issues with the development tools. Most impotantly, SGI's cc (c compiler) is slow and hard to customize flags on, especially for debugging. Furthermore, frequently, if my program commits a memory fault, it receives a SIGKILL rather than a segfault which makes it very difficult to debug (this usually happens if the malloc pool gets corrupted or while using ImageVision).
The ImageVision library (an OpenGL-based image processing system) hsa great performance and features. However, it refuses to link with programs not built with cc (thus, no gcc!). Furthermore, programs that seem to follow spec mysteriously die with a SIGKILL during deallocation. I certainly realise that I might be doing something wrong in the way I call the library, but it does not provide any error message, exception, or fault.
Finally, IRIX standard header files are a colossal mess and almost impossible to use. Standard C and C++ objects are casually redefined throughout the header structure.
This is the worst thing I have seen for a very long time. Burn them so they run away? What the fuck? Shooting them in the head is more humane.
When you are subjected to microwave radiation, you can get internal burns. That means that you can be slightly burned on the outside, but your internal organs can be damaged. Burnt tissue begins to decay. Internal decay is bad.
This is possibly worse than biological warfare. It leads to many of the same problems as radiation burn.
What are they thinking?
The only good use for this is for a guerilla force trying to defend a narrow passage or tunnel.
I don't see what all the whining is about these graphical word processors. LaTeX is the best thing in the world. Once I started LaTeX, I never went back to any word processor. Why? Because LaTeX doesn't look like shit and doesn't bog memory, and makes clean, beautiful documents.
Instead of using some commercial software and wasting your time, simply join a Linux development project headed by Frenchmen and learn by immersion on the email list:)
Well, the whole things looks good. Now if only config files, etc... can be moved to XML.
But, the name Athena is probably a bad call. Athena has been a project at MIT for a long time (since the early 80's.) Athena is the multiplatform computing environment used at MIT and other places. It includes AFS, a network filesystem, and a suite of utilities and programs to make it all work right. There are also facilities for Kerberos account management. Anyways, calling Athena OS "Athena" seems like it would cause a lot of confusion in places that use the other Athena.
Technological advances have limitations. The speed of light is one such limitation, but we aren't likely to get that far along. There are time limitations - the longer the mission takes, the more supplies are needed, thus making the mission even longer. Stop your pipe-dreams about going to other planets - if there are any that are habitable they are too far away to even consider. Now, if there are benefits besides pretty pictures, please name them.
Hah!
What benefits has the space program brought us? Prestige against the USSR? Useless space stations? Billions of dollars of expenses? Pictures of things that are so far away that they no longer exist? Please, can you give me some real benefits? I don't want to pay taxes for useless things. I pay taxes for the tangible services, like defense, that the government provides.
Well, it's not as general or widespread as I made it sound, but, if you search for 'benchmark' on LinuxGames, and pick the first one (Evil-something-or-other) you can see it occuring at the high quality 32 bit setting, which is shown on the very last graph in the whole article.
I wonder if that's rearing its ugly head again? I think that could be the reason for those performance drops on the GForce cards. For those of you who don't know, it seems like the Windoze drivers for nVidia drop off performance at 1280x1024, while the Linux ones do not. Most of the benchmarks show it very well.
First, I don't like this idea for a selfish reason. I have congenital nistagmus, which means that my eyes move back and forth constantly. The mustles around my eyes are in constant seizure, so it is quite hard to tell where I am looking based on eye position:) And, knowing MS, they will make this feature mandatory for the whole computer to work right. OK, now, for my other rant: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED, TURN STUPID NOTIFICATIONS OFF. THEY SUCK. The only thing that you need to be notified of is if your MB/processor/video card are overheating. The rest should be done without popups (a beep or a flashing alarm in taskbar/corner of desktop/wherever) would suffice. Software designers should be more conscious of users needs; if there is an error, don't bring the application into focus, or have an easily accessible button (on title bar?) that lets users regulate interruptions. No need for cameras.
Well, the power line EM field studies have shown to be blatantly flawed, so I don't see why this would be dangerous at all.... But, on the off chance that it is, there are a number of viable alternatives. You could keep the antenna on a belt unit the size of a pager, and have an IR, wire, or weak radio connecting it to a corresponding handset. Of course, I still think subdermal microphones and earphones are the best idea, with a wire running under the skin to flat antennas implanted on the shoulder blades.
Well, I thought it was an excellent movie. Not magnificent, but excellent. The movie reflects very well the basic conflict of humans versus mutants, and the very deep ethical questions lying within. JonKatz, being a gasbag, complains that we can't hate Magneto. That's the point, foo! The whole point of the X-Men comic is that there's questions of morality and evil and good are not always clearly divided. That's SuperMan, not X-Men. The fact that you can't hate Magneto only makes the movie better and more entertaining. Nevertheless, I hope that numerous sequels are made because this movie just touches on the characters and their development over a long time. Oh, and that the characters don't gel as a team, Jon? Of course they don't, they just started working together. Geez. And that crap about actors "overwhelming" the others? Total crap.
Well, I think you need to do more studying. The only reason you can use X remotely via Windows is because of the remote object X protocol. If the windowing system was local, you couldn't run XWinPro or anything like that, except through hideous pixel-grabbing operations.
What it comes down to is that MS has 85 percent of the browser market cornered. I don't care that there's idiots saying how they/like/ the browser; these people are a tiny minority compared to people who use it because they have no other choice but to comply with poor trade practices.
The US justice system is in no shape to deal with this - three-year trials worked in the old days, but in today's Internet system, a year is almost too long. By the time the appeals are over, Microsoft will make more billions and achieve greater market power.
There should be a separate system for administering digital justice. I don't think there's room for 3 month delays between hearings and hundred-thousand page briefs typed over a period of twelve weeks. They should've put MS and Janet Reno on Judge Judy:)
Oh, and to all you smarasses who think you can get rid of IE on your computer and use a browser of your choice under Windows: you can't. If you want to use the M$ site for Windows bugfixes, you'd better be using IE. So you can't remove it for that reason. And if you don't care and try to uninstall, it leaves behind more registry keys than most programs have total.
Idiot. I don't mean to sound like flamebait, but you are a total moron and spineless follower of media hysteria. Sure, the NRA has many members close-minded self-righteous bastards like yourself would call 'hicks' or 'rednecks.' But the truth is, guns are used to prevent and stop over a million crimes every year. Not only that, but accidental shootings are actually quite rare. The anti-gun zealots, as you used the term, are the ones who popularized rare anecdotes of accidental shootings.

Yes, but the energy stored still doubles. At a higher voltage, with the same power, you'll have less current, so you need less stored charge.

You probably did send them, a month ago, and he hasn't been playing, so they returned after that time expired.

Well, Slashdot readers won't be much affected by that last patent. Unless you cover porn, or goatse.

You dope, your cache is static RAM. L1, L2, the whole works - those are mostly SRAM, with some exceptions.
