If we could make it a one-way trip, I'm sure that we could get several groups to come up with that kind of money. The passenger doesn't have to be willing, do they?
[1] An environmental research group came to my door the other day extolling the virtues of environmental law, conservation, anti-pollution law, and etc., as you'd expect. All noble causes, when tempered with economic reality. But they continued on to also say opposition to ANY nuclear project was critical. Could they "count on my support?" In a word, no.
I once received a Times advertisement that asked (in very big letters) the question, "what would you do if they built a nuclear plant near Idaho Falls?"[A]
[A] For those who don't know, a few miles west of Idaho Falls is the INL (aka INEL, aka INEEL, etc), which is where the largest collection of nuclear reactors on earth exists (active or otherwise).
Nearby is Arco, which is the first city to be powered by nuclear power.
They also have a couple of nuclear jet engines on display, for which the plane was never built, but the hanger for the plane was.
Add an electric motor to the compressor, and so would a compressor.
Electric cars need all electronics to be very efficient, otherwise you lose a lot of distance. Going from a cooling/cost of 4 to 0.3 is going to be a major hit on milage.
2. unit can be in passenger area and not in engine compartment
Just what everyone wants, less leg room.
3. you could have several small units instead of one big one
With less efficiency too. More ducting for airflow and waste heat removal, more cabling, additional fans, more weight, more volume. Less legroom.
4. flip the peltiers and you have a heater
Just change the polarity.
5. no pulley being spun even when not in use
So what? How much energy does a spinning pully use. Probably less than a second (or larger primary) alternator would.
6. should be much lighter (although alternator would get bigger)
The alternator would need to get MUCH bigger to get the equivelent cooling power. Either that or a second alternator (remember your idle pully concern).
Instead of driving directly a 400% efficient machine off the motor shaft, you now drive a 3% efficient device off a ?95% efficient alternator which is also driven off the shaft.
He has demonstrated to them the importance of security, and demonstrated to end users the importance of patch management by exposing this vulnerability.
Just like that kidnapper from Idaho. He only demonstrated that you could kill most of a family, leaving one kid alive to rape at will. We should just let him go because he exposed this vulnerability. Maybe you hire him as a security consultant.
I'm still waiting for the promised "creatures of great size" that we were promised from fission power! Where's the dinosaurs? The giant ants? The huge scorpions? The 60' lady? The radioactive spiders that will give us super powers?
They need to drop fusion until they can give us what we were promised!! Vote NO to fusion until we are all glowing green, at the least!!! No more night lights for me!!!!!!!
In a bid to be friendly with Open Source, SCO has included 7 OS products
I think these groups sould get together and force SCO to pay them $100/copy for each of their products sold. They could also give them a $1.00 discount for bulk purchase (i.e. total of $699.00/copy).
Well, when FORD or GENERAL MOTORS workers buy PEPSI or COCA-COLA for their HOT-POCKETS lunch,...... oops, I thought at first it meant bloggers would get paid for mentioning each product. Drat!
No! You need to take one of those cement mixers, and build it out of that. You can then travel to the moon to bring back all the junk left there, and recycle it.
The code is based on software they developed for internal use. They just had to substitute "freedom" for "open source", "democracy" for "union", and "demonstration" for "overtime".
I like the part about the schools being allowed to supply one 8-1/2 by 11 inch picture, make absolutely sure it is in jpeg format because they burn up better, to be included on a CD, in order to be burned up with the suit.
Teacher: Mary, your artwork is so good, were going to burn it. And it's not going to be a normal "throw it in the incinerator" type of burn; we are going to burn it in the most incredible heat possible, and spread the ashes all over the planet so there is no possibility of recovery.
You could probably make a suit out of, say, plutonium and still have negligible effect
Haven't you learned anything from watching the news: a single atom of plutonium is capable of killing millions of people! If two happen to get close enough together, then there will be a nucular explosion large enough to split the planet in half! Only the French have any possible chance of saving us!
If they are using OS X to develop with, the compiler they are using is probably GCC.
Since GCC is under the GPL viral license, doesn't that make all of their new games public domain? Remember, this is what they have been claiming about the GPL.

Prosecuter: Ok, we have the chainsaw, the knife, the three guns, and the sticky bun you killed him with, all with your finger prints on it. We also have 300 eye-witnesses, and 30 video tapes from various angles of you commiting the murder. We also have your signed confession.
Defendent: Ya, so what?
Prosecutor: We give up. We want to settle. What are your terms?
You would do a better job using the "National Enquirer"s fact finding teams, or even the "Weekly World News". You would get a much more accurate report.
The way to become a great liberal reporter is to pick someone important, and do whatever you can to destroy them. The media will now be fawning over her, and praising her courage. It's only a matter of time before she's hired by one of the big media groups, and will shortly be a lead reporter for them. Expect to see her shortly on MSNBC or the Today show.

Is it leap forward, or fall back, when a leap second occurs? I always get it wrong, and show up for work to late, or to early.

If you buy in the next 10 minutes, I'll throw in this fine set of Ginsu Knives... And for the next 10 customers, a pocket fisherman...

I thought everyone knew, 37.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

a technology called Indigo that enables programs on different computers or devices to communicate;
Isn't this what we used to call a "serial port"?
You're just completely wrong.
Unix was created by AT&T (supposedly to run a space-war game).

Instead of sticking barcodes to all your stuff and scanning them with one cuecat, you could stick quecats to all your stuff and scan one barcode.
Which version of Longhorn? The one based on the fancy new file system, and build on .net, or the one they or now planning on releasing?
Maybe they can write the software for it in 100 lb?

This is almost a job for Michael Moore....

Nope, she's probably on her way up now.

MicroSoft = Small, limp.
LongHorn = Big, Bony Stick.
Magneto = Juice maker
