  1. Re:Think of the savings in $$$! on E-Paper Moves Closer · · Score: 0

    Actually, I thnk that e-paper requires very little power, especially compared to something like a CRT or LCD. Even if you take the power e-paper uses into consideration, e-paper is still far more environmentally friendly.

  6. Re:dvdrw on HP Introduces DVD Recorder · · Score: 1

    That would still be around an hour per disc. A standard DVD takes about about 2 hr(ss,sl) so a writer at 2x would still take at least an hour o burn.

    Which means it's good that our converter boxes haven't been changed in about 6 or 7 years.

    Actually, the Japanese Super Mario 2 is closer to the original Super Mario, except with slightly different levels and ramped-up difficulty. It was released here as "the Lost Levels" In Super Mario All-Stars. The game we got(released in Japan later as Super Mario USA) was originally Doki Doki Panic, some middle-eastern game that had some sprites modified to become our Super Mario 2.

    Uh, sorry the REAL acronym is GCN, for Gamecube Nintendo. And for those who don't know the proper acronym for the media, its GOD, for Gamecube Optical Disc.

  17. Re:Won't work because (1) constant thrust (2) wobb on ISS Airlock Installed · · Score: 1

    Actually, constant thrust would not be required. Any friction would only be inside the station, not with anything outside. INternal friction would not slow the craft down because it is rotating as a whole system. Think of it like this: an astronaut pushes off of a wall in the ISS to get to the other side of a hall. After he pushed the wall, he is going in a direction, and the ISS is going in the opposite direction. As soon as he gets to the other side, he will have to push against the opposite wall to stop. This slows him down, but speeds up the ISS enough to counter the earlier movement.
