Basically when they refine the engines down enough it will have the ability to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen, store it, burn it, and recover the resulting waste (water) back to the tank with minimal loss of fuel.
If our government laid out a program to develop a photovoltic shingle for houses and business rooftops and began mass installations of them around the country the prices will come down due to the mass production of them.
While not impacting the bill of a single house very much the larger impact with a large system across the country would impact our energy usage as a whole.
Phase 1 could just be 2x2" embedded cells in shingles that go back to the recovery system until they could develop cells that could withstand the abuse of a hailstorm or someone walking on the roof.
Either way it would seem a smart move to have these on every usable surface across the country.
Not to mention the fact that those cells would also probably reflect some percentage of the light back to space.
Back in 2000 my credit card number was stolen and at the time I had no idea who gotten it. But 3 years later a person in a gaming guild I play in mentioned that they had a card that was ran up after shopping at tiger direct. About 4 months ago a co-worker said that their card used at tiger direct was also abused.
In each of the cases the punk ordered stuff from various places and sent it to us. But it was still a pain in the arse.
Wouldnt shop there. And the FBI and police said there's not much they can do???
I've emailed some AG's that were part of the original antitrust lawsuits about this latest move by MicroSoft.
It seems that it was not enough to use this same method of introducing new methods into html to make NetScape not work with all websites. And it seems that Microsoft is repeating the process with RSS.
The only glimmer of hope here is that iTunes RSS support for podcasts and other web tech may be too entrenched this time to give Microsoft the ability to pull the same trick twice.
People need to talk to their elected officials immediately and point out the similarities here. They also need to pressure web developers to stick to standards and not adopt disruptive changes unless they want to end up in a single browser world again.
Current HD Dvr's cannot cut it in the storage department and the lure of a DVD jukebox using MythTV http://www.mythtv.org/ is quite enticing.
However 100 DVD's require more than 1.5 tb though someone smart could build a system that takes the dvd and recodes it as divx 5.0 so you get menus and all the other nice things which would save on the space.
Course that all goes down the drain when HD Dvd's finally come out.
When it's that low use a low powered telescope and find a place you can identify easily.
Then wait a few hours until it's small again and if it's smaller you have your answer.
Course the naked eye also tells you the same thing. There are visible features of the moon that are identifiable and they're huge when it's low. When it's higher up in the sky they are smaller.
If you're likely to fit into the group that buys a house and stays put until you die then you could be harmed by this ruling.
A person who buys and works 30 years to pay off their house in anticipation of living on their retirement (Fixed income). Typically these neighborhoods will go down in value as the houses age over the years. The property will probably retain or increase in value.
Perhaps it's lakefront property that you bought 30 years ago when the city did not even incorporate in that area and you were rural. But urban sprawl eventually caused to be in the city's influence.
Now the city is looking for more tax revenue due to their overspending and have limited options for development. Rather than raise the taxes on the whole to make up for this, or the citizens deal with the big spenders through the elective process those council members hear from private developers that you have some land they are interested in. So they begin the process of condeming property to allow the developer to take over.
Now the neighborhood is a bit run down but it's a quality place to live and many living there are fixed income retirees. The city is now telling them to move and a house that normally woudl be worth 200,000 dollars is only being offered 60,000 dollars. These people cannot afford to move because nowhere in the immediate area can you buy a brand new house for 60,000 dollars. In fact that barely would make the 20% payment requirements now due to inflation.
So in essence you're kicking these people on the streets, or they get new houses and work till the day they die and instead of their house going to their kids or grandchildren it gets repossessed and your investement for the enjoyment of your family is gone forever.
The only way it can be fair compensation is if these people are relocated into a paid off house with sufficient tax breaks on the house as to facilitate the ability to live as before with possibly some money on the side to help with the loss of a treasured property. To not offer that at the minimum should be illegal. The developer could afford it, and there's no reason they can just come along and uproot your entire life and financial future just to build something so they can make money.
Looks like someone will have to challenge this in court again.
Buy CD take it home it does not work on a Mac, user is not technically enclined to use Sony's hack but store refuses to refund the money. Sony also refuses stating that they gave them the ability to copy the music and they could be trying to scam their money back after they copied the music.
Sony will be in violation of anti-trust rules if the protection only works on one operating system. They favor M$ and everyone else has to use a kludge to fairly use music they're paying for.
I'm under the impression if things are going good then stay.. you dont go off rescuing companies like that unless you want to someday find yourself without a paycheck.
I recently went Mac *ducks* and while you dont have massive respositories and things like that. Their package management.app system is by far the best solution.
Tracks executables by inode not directory so I can stick my programs wherever I feel like it.
97% of all system libs and such are standard with the OS and available to the coders.
The other 3% of libs and custom code are just packaged into the.app file which nearly eliminates lib version conflicts.
While Free is always better OS X has the polish that I wish Linux currently does not have in a number of areas.
Announce for a year deliver by Christmas.. that's probably the plan since it would put everyone off balance expecting the new machines by next summer. Jobs did not say we'll ship them in a year but said to expect to see them shipping by this time next year.
He/She whatever had a successful colum once but then also worked for Themis which does not seem to be a force in the MMO industry other than these small microniche markets of which many just peter out and die.
Course why leave Turbine if things were going fine or are they?
Fusion could be useful once they learn how to make true superconductors that operate at normal tempatures so the loss of energy is minimal and possibly can make more energy than is required to maintain the reaction.
That ATI and Nvidia have cards out in production that are twice as powerful as any currently out but are holding back on any new innovation probably until well after the Consoles have sold.
ATI and Nvidia are selling out the PC Gamer's in hopes of pleasing the console makers so they can make even more money off our backs.
I ran Maximus first and then RABBS and played with many others. At first I did straight DOS but then with WFWG 3.11 I could run the bbs in a dos window and do other things.
I also was a Fidonet hub for my small town and there were a lot of people who subscribed to that. I think I had nearly 300 users at it's peak.
Sometimes I think of putting one together on a old box.. Really cool if I had my old Tandy 486SX 25mhz PC to run it all off of it's 14.4 modem.
People have been using the word spam for junk email longer than I've been in the industry and that's a looong time for any company to sit back and not enforce it's trademark.
Sorry but movie theatres have become along with malls just a place parents dump their kids. Hell some probably encourage them to theater hop so they stay there longer.
I have yet been to a movie lately where there is not several groups of kids or teens cutting up during the movie, showing off their cool laser beams and other disruptive behavior. And as a result of the lack of action on the theaters part to enforce movie ratings and control the kids I've just begun to wait out things for dvd.
The wait will be much better when HD Dvd's come to the market.
Space weapons must be communicated over a network, which is susceptible to hacking, which if done could be used against us.
If they crack the encryption all the hackers have to do is aim a more powerful beam at the weapon to override the legitimate communications.
Likewise these same weapons can be jammed easily by any country posessing satellite communications technology so when you need it they can just jam it.
Upscaling of DVD's to HD with tweaks and filters to really make your DVD's look good.
It could also offer a platform that could record all your dvd's to network drives for instant playback at the touch of a button.
It could also be a DVR for SD and HD content.
Sorry folks but while graphics are cool good games are important but come second to managing the entertainment content of the house.
People dont like managing cd collections, game collections, and dvd collections come in 2nd to taking up space to the VHS tape. I think Laserdisc was probably worse but how many people actually bought more than 20 of them.
I want a device that has the ability through a open API that would allow others to write plugins that would let it interface with a iPod or other digitial media player. I want it to recode my movies on the fly and compress them down to fit on a 1g SD memory card to I can have some entertainment on my PDA. And if the wife is watching a recorded program on the TV in the living room I'd love the ability to load up a network tool that would let me play a video game on a PC monitor that's saved back on the PS3.
Do all this without any DRM encumberances and you will rule the home entertainment arena not just play in it.

Actually the patentable idea would for the keyboard to morph to fit the application that has focus.
I think Apple would love this keyboard.
Basically when they refine the engines down enough it will have the ability to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen, store it, burn it, and recover the resulting waste (water) back to the tank with minimal loss of fuel.
You tell them the sky is blue and they will argue with out about it.
He's just too self centered to consider anyone's opinion other than his own and he will push it on anyone.

And current federal law requires cable companies to provide at request a receiver with a firewire port that allows you to receive the encrypted video.

Just hook everything up to the pc and let it do the conversion and display your video at the native resolution on your DTV.

Really.. what the hell is upscanning..
I said upscaling.. something that high end dvd players already do.
People have been using the word spam for junk email longer than I've been in the industry and that's a looong time for any company to sit back and not enforce it's trademark.
Redhat makes it's own modificatoins to Mozilla and Firefox maybe.
Linspire surely does but they at least work with the company to get them into the main tree so it's not so much of a problem.
Along with any number of big distros that do something to the original package.
All which could of been avoided if said companies just used the plugin infrastructure to make their modifications and repackaged it that way.
