  1. Already done on Salt Lake City Plan May Turn Sewer Waste To Energy · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is already done in atleast one city in Sweden, the heat in the cleaned waste water gets transferred to a district heating system by a heat exchange system. And the then cooled down waste water (just above 0C) is used again as district cooling to a hospital.

    The methane is usually used to power the waste water plant itself. Also often used as fuel in busses and cars.

    A huge ass fan can move the same amount of air a small one can, at a much lower speed.
    Lower speed -> less noise, usually.

    On a PC, the most irritating noise is often from the small graphic card fan.

  3. Re:I really wanted to hate this game... on World of Warcraft Breaks PC Game Sales Records · · Score: 1

    Yes, about 99% what the game have to offer, its not that obviously thougt, but the limit with what you can do to earn money and having fun is mostly in the players imagination, not the game mecanism. Overall its really a mmorpg that requres teamwork and player interaction.

    Dont see the point of a mmorpg without PvP, thats what makes a game like that intresting.

    (And with PvP I dont only mean fighting but player driven market etc.)

    It should be layed out that theres a few non PvP zones as you start up in but as soon you leave them its free for all to fight. Or atleast large lawless zones there the risk vs reward are high enouth to attract players.

    The only mmorpg Ive seen thats anything like this are eve-online, it also got 1 massive server and not some sharded stuff that clones the world. I dont care if the game has 50k or 500k sold games, whats intresting is the amount of players the server im on can hold at the same time. Above 12k is the record atm for EVE. (and no im not working for them, just amazed of this mmorpg).

    I wish my computer were the size of a suger cube, lan parties would be easy, just stick my computer in my pocket and go though a suger cube monitor might not be as nice.......

    By the time you can get a suger cube sized computer you will probably be able to get an I/O-implant in youre neck ala Johnny Mnemonic to connect it to.

  7. Re:GSM on DoD Dreams of Efficient Spectrum Usage · · Score: 1

    I would suggest you skip the GSM and go for the next generation, 3G , instead.
    Converting to GSM now then the rest of the world is just about to convert to 3G sounds... dumb.

  8. Re:cool but i wonder on MPEG-4 Hardware Decoder For $99 · · Score: 1

    Well, it could be used with a micro-ATX system and used as a small, near zero-noise multimedia station.

    Too bad it dosen't handle the 3.11 Alpha codec that the relese groups still using...

  9. Re:DivX codec changes on MPEG-4 Hardware Decoder For $99 · · Score: 1

    " So it sounds like there won't be any problems, if 4.00 is a minimum, rather than the latest supported version. I'm sure someone more acquainted with video encoding can explain why this is. " The DivX "scene" are still using the 3.11 Alpha coded for there releses. So the card is kind of pointless if you want to watch (most) downloaded movies.

  10. Re:Finally, 128MB on a GeForce 3/4 on GeForce4 Ti 4200 Preview · · Score: 2, Interesting

    128MB on GF3 doesn't make much of a difference compared with 64MB on today's games. http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/02q2/020418/v gacharts-01.html

    I highly doubt consumers would even be able to buy such devices but lets speculate for a moment.
