Muons can catalyse fusion. They're 200 times more massive than electrons and orbit a hydrogen atom way closer. The amount of energy required to fuse two muonic hyrdrogen atoms is many orders of magnitude smaller than the energy required to fuse two normal hydrogen atoms.
Not only that. The waste plutonium-238 could be used in Radioisotope thermonuclear generators.
NASA has been using them for years on deep space probes. If we could adapt them for use on earth we could have a convenient use for some of the waste products of nuclear fission.
Exactly. Simple things like fuel rods going UP into the reactor. If things fail they fall out and the reaction stops. No pulling up required on failure.
Indeed. They have publicly stated they are going to delete the beta from your PC after its over just like they deleted AI bots from the last beta of CS 1.6.
See I'm the exact opposite. I love clamshell phones. They protect the main screen (great for someone careless like me) and conserve so much battery life not having to drive the TFT all the time.
Nah. The Z1010 is where its at. Clamshell form factor. 3G WCDMA/UMTS support with 2G GSM/GPRS for areas where theres no WCDMA coverage. Memory Stick Duo slot and everything the K700i has besides the camera not being as good. But there are two of them!
Australian copyright law has anti-circumvention provisions and has had since 2001 IIRC.
Australian copyright law is already completely anal. We don't have a concept of fair-use like the US copyright system. We're not legally allowed to tape shows off the TV.
I was thinking about buying an iPaq. But then I got my mobile phone (a Sony Ericsson Z1010).
This phone is a freaking PDA. I have my contacts, tasklist, appointments, email on it. The T9 text entry is infinitely more convenient and faster than stylus. The only thing that is lacking is the screen and I'm sure that will be rectified in future phone revisions. Plus my phone gets battery life measured in days rather than hours.
Nokia keypad designers are smoking crack. And putting WCDMA into the 7600? WHAT WAS THE POINT WHEN IT DOESN'T SUPPORT VIDEO CALLS!
The 6610 is the last of the great Nokia phones in my eyes. Now I've gone over to the Sony Ericsson camp simply because they have sensible keypads, good interfaces and beautiful phones.
I just got myself an SE Z1010. Apart from the camera placement this is *THE* best WCDMA phone on the market.
Assuming an average 1GHz per person, 4 FLOPS per cycle (assuming you could get Altivec working flat strap), 70,000 people turn up that could work out to be... ummm.... 280 teraflops.
You'd have yourself a Universe Simulator with that amount of power!
Hint to the Vorbis guys: People are more likely to adopt a format when they don't have to change their media player. Start giving people easy links to useful binaries god dammit.
Hell. If I was a webmaster for Vorbis there would be a big "DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS" button on the front page which is linked to a Directshow codec.
But you can strip away the university's confidence in an individual thereby making the degree invalid.
See that little stamp on the corner of your degree? Thats merely saying the University Council thinks that you're good enough for the degree in question. The uni can also decide to take away their approval and you're left with a worthless bit of paper.
A degree is merely a university's endorsement of your knowledge. Nothing more, nothing less.

No. It's Australian money thats one of the hardest to counterfeit.
What the hell?
We've had 3G (UMTS) with decent speed (384kbps) over here (Australia) for 2 years now.
What the hell are you guys doing over there?
It goes down.

Ever heard of muon catalysed fusion?
They've actually got it working. They just can't get breakeven yet.
Yeah but as soon as you try and reload it steam will go "BALEETED!"

That SCO is proclaiming the GPL to be the world's greatest evil while still shipping a billion GPL applications in the box.
Or maybe it just thinks it "owns" the applications as well?

Except. I downloaded it.
And then I bought my copy from EB yesterday.
So can someone strike my name off the "people who pirated" list? I don't want to be responsible for more skewed statistics.

While I appreciate your concern and I've only used a mini at the store, there is no way you can press the click wheel accidentally.
You have to apply quite a bit of pressure. It's quite a stiff, tactile click.
FINALLY!
SOMEONE THAT AGREES WITH ME!

So... ummm...
The millions of people using i-mode in Japan are on crack?
Or maybe its just you.
Do it!

Especially when the Vorbis download page for Windows doesn't have a link to the damn (unofficial) Directshow codec on it.

the costs for carpal tunnel surgery
Paying money for surgery? What the hell kind of 3rd world nation do you live in?
(Windows still requires a lengthy and buggy third-party driver installation process).
Hello. This is 1998 calling. Give us our fucking "windows sucks" arguments back.
Apple for some strange reason developed their own somewhat inferior and closed lossless format called (funnily enough) Apple Lossless.
You mean MPEG-4 ALS which is an MPEG standard.
I know that. The parent of my post thought for some reason a faster hard drive would give him more frames in his FPS.
