we have a similiar system here in germany. it is called "Geldkarte" ("money card") and exists as an additional chip on your bank card.
as i read some comments from belgium, the netherlands, sweden and luxembourg, it seems to me that france is just a late adopter...
crucial to the whole system is the acceptance from the vendors. here in germanx you can use the card at mcdonalds, burger king, some gas stations and a few grocery stores. you can reload your card at the local bank AND AT MCDONALDS (weird, huh?)
in a way it never really took off. i used it once in year 2001 and since then i carry around a debit of ca. 7 euros. WOW! and, by the way: i did observe the "strange look" from cashiers, when someone was asking for payment by money card.;)
if you could use a system like this to pay, e.g. your parking fees and if it was easy and cheap for street vendors and smaller businesses to get at the necessary card readers there would be a possible acceptance.
if it works in france, i have to congratulate our european neighbours.
can you imagine living in europe and paying 70 euros for 60 liters of gas? you get 400km max. and pay around 70$... wouldn't it change the public oppinion about these vehicles?
i have a friend, who drives one of these. a nissan pathfinder. everyone he ever took with him for a longer ride did say the same: your tank is on EMPTY already? i am sooo happy with my small car!
My reasoning comes from the simple fact that the human eye is unable to perceive extra frames beyond a certain number (I've heard this number to be around 25 or 30).
my neck hair stands up everytime i read some of this bullshit. sorry.:) i can't understand how a misconception like that can hold itself for so long. your eyes are able to perceive way more frames, than any video card can deliver at the moment.
from the article: "Our eyes can indeed perceive well over 200 frames per second from a simple little display device (mainly so low because of current hardware, not our own limits)."
if they fuck with my machines like they fuck with their artists, i'm gonna... well, i leave that to their imagination.
freedom of information, it won't change in the near future... if they can't adapt, they must die. what do they wanna do, send us all to austalia and cut the backbones?;-)
all the time, they waste on "piracy"-prevention tactics would be much better used in developing a completely new business model, i think.
Though I think there are anaerobic digestion systems in use in some sewage plants to extract methane and burn it in a turbine, pumping the generated electricity back into the grid.
indeed, there is. there are many plants that produce this 'foul gas' (or 'bio gas') and burn it. it has a heat value (right word?) of 20 MJ/m^3.
they use the heat emmissions directly to heat the plant and also work on their own electricity generated in gas turbines. the overhead goes back into the grid.
the system relies on a relatively high average temperature throughout the year. this qualifies it for an application in most third world countries.

i'm sorry; but i'm informative, too...
POST complete:
"shields up, captain!"
video card probs:
"OMG! somebody help me, i'm blind!"
memory probs:
"hey, who are you? can't remember anything, boy!"
boot disk failure:
"hey! don't put floppy things into me! or at least check the hard ones!"
just an idea...
no. no flamebait. no, really, no.
please correct this.
temperature is defined by the movement of atoms, right? how can microwave radiation have temperature?
if i got my physics right, radiation just induces movement of atoms... ?-)
i want my system to be placed there, so i can get rid of that vapochill.

no problem, i just modded parent up. ;-)
clever guy i am, eh?
i would dump the concept, if i was you. the future of space travel is and will ever be a spaceship powered by bad news.

i wish all those new porsches and audis and bmws were a bit more stylish! they look like crap, well engineered crap, though...
