Pardon me for asking, I didn't know it was a fucking crime. My schooling never even touched on any physics, everything I know about that is what I've picked up here and there and what a hertz was a measure of I was not aware.
The continuing depreciation of the slashdot intelligence level is really depressing.
Die bastard, the only way to learn is to ask, correct? I was unaware you were born with the knowledge of what a hertz is. Also: the more you make fun of people the less likely they are to ask in the future, thus lowering the intelligence of the masses even further. You're almost as bad as the anonymouse poster but not quite.
D: It makes you wonder how much of what he claims (or i guess what I've read about him, can't vouch for him that he actually said all of the crazy things about him) is actually true, and if there is a definitive Tesla site on the web... just looking for information on him and his ideas
This means that using a micro gas engine to power, say, your cell phone may mean you will feel your ears burn -- literally.
"The engine generates a lot of heat. Burning fuel produces heat that needs to be evacuated -- this means it won't replace the battery in all applications," Frechette said.
I could just see a run on hydrogen-powered cellphone HSFs in the coming years....
Water would be the exhaust, just have a little vent.... but that still is kind of questionable, what if you plugged up the vent? I'm assuming there's still some more experimentation and design hurdles to leap before it's ready for commercial uses.
It looks like they're operating the generator in open air so exhaust isn't a problem..
hey hey hey, and then we can get the help of a big computer because we'll be the only ones who talk to them because bill gates the evil owner of the moon doesn't care about his computers and the friendly Linux-running computer (we'll call him "Mike") will help us overthrow the opressive regime and use nerds can live in peace on the moon! We'll even launch rocks covered in metal @ them and they won't be able to stop them mwahahahahahahah!!!! AND THEN, we can have all kinds of adventures in our p-suits and we'll drive around in the rolligons on the moon and mine rocks and Mike can help us market what we find to the computer illiterate masses of Earth! mwahahahahahaha!
!!!!! Fluorinert is awesome, and I believe your estimate of $500 is a little bit *cough* of an over exaggeration.... I've read heard all kinds of stories (remember the guy who lapped his celeron a while back?) using Fluorinert for immersion cooling. Yeah it's fairly expensive but for enough to submerge your naughty bits in it's well worth it for the extreme cooling it can deliver.
Use alcohol, or even anti-freeze if you're careful (it being posionous). I can't say I've seen or heard of a case where anti-freeze was used but I've heard people suggest it.
As far as alcohol goes, alcohol can be brought to a lower temperature then water anyways, so it's much better then water, and it won't conduct electricity if you happen to spill it all over your precious boards.
Think of all the websites....

Sure, till your news provider stops carrying alt.binaries.foobar because that group is costing THEM $10,000 (or more) per month and doing nobody but warez pups a bit of good.
Not that much at all.
The bandwidth's got to come from somewhere, and nobody's going to pay for you to sit at your computer and freeload. Any exceptions to this rule exist only in a transient state, whether a company (that eventually becomes a FuckedCompany) or an individual (who goes to slam-me-in-the-ass prison for YOUR freeloading).
That's the power of P2P, if you're a w4r3z kiddie at least; the bandwidth is decentralized, and you can l33ch to your heart's content without costing anyone money -- except for yourself and your fellow kiddies, of course.
Jesus what the hell am I paying my ISP for? I swear to god it was the bandwith I'm using every day
Not that you'd care about such things, being that it doesn't mean you'll get more w4r3z or m0v13z or mp3z. Living in the here and now is just so easy, isn't it?
That makes no sense, and if anything if everyone leeched off of news servers (which I hope not because that would mean they'd got shut down pronto fast) it would SAVE bandwith because you'd have a centralized file that could be downloaded by many, from the ISP straight to your DSL line, not back and forth between users clogging up the ISP's bandwith anymore. Am the only one who read all of the "Gnutella can't scale" articles? There's a reasons it can't and if Guntella-type networks keep growing at the rate they are you can't be bitching about how much bandwith I'm taking up from my ISP (which I freaking paid for in the first place, DSL, 640 kbps, that's what it said in the contract and that's what I got), when you're clogging the whole goddamn internet just so you can use your fancy p2p network. Good job.
D: regardless of me not believing in a god (I guess you could say I'm more agnostic, I think as silly to say that there is no possibility of a god as it is to say it's a certainty), I had a religious friend who would always spell it that way, to mock the ppl who got mad when he brought up the issue.
D: and it just kind of took over and that's how i wrote it.
Peer to Peer programs seem to be developed for no reason at all but to hide the fact that usenet is still the best way to get all of this stuff that the MPAA and RIAA don't want us to have. Just wait long enough and you're fav. p2p program will be sued, then along comes another one and they have to sue them too, hopefully this cycle will continue on and on into the future and they'll never notice my 24/7 leeching off of alt.binaries.movies.divx......... btw, Monsters Inc. anyone?
Plane crashes in major American cities aren't routine at all.
Am I the only one who remembers that jumbo jet grounded in the middle of a Detroit freeway? I'm not saying plane crashes in urban areas are routine, but they certainly aren't the most unlikely incidents.
Pre-9-11 we would never have the White House Press Secretary talking to the press for almost an hour about a "routine" plane crash, it just goes to show what we're going to be looking forward to.
I was thinking of going across the office area I'm in to check out CNN but I thought twice, I have better things to do, although there's no word yet I'm betting this has nothing to do with "terrorist" attacks, just another plane crash? If you want to call plane crashes routine.... I'm sure (ok, I hope) this is just a non-event that the media will be all over, news at eleven.
The Republican banner that Lincoln was elected under doesn't stand for the same values as it does today. Actually, the Republican party was much more "left" when Lincoln was elected, though you won't find anything saying that on theGOP's website...
...but definently Chuck Palahniuck, he's one of the only writers who can write about "real-life" and make it an enjoyable read. One of the reasons I mostly read science fiction is because when not constrained to the here and now writers can weave amazingly interesting plot lines and outrageous stories. I've read all of Chuck's books in the past month and I've found them some of the best "real-life" (if you can even call them that!) fiction, except for maybe Joeseph Heller's Catch-22, but isn't he dead?
About the only problem I see with my predictions about Chuck is that a lot of the references he makes are about pop culture of our time and etc., while writers like Heinlein make stories that are as timely now as they were 30-50 years ago.
...before making a decision on how they feel about globalization. It seems that the majority of people who are against globalization are the ones who don't even have a firm grasp on the facts, and I'm not saying that I do either, but at least I'm open to it. It seems a lot of people see the images of the protesters being sprayed with fire hoses and shot with rubber bullets and immediately get the idea that globalization is this evil, evil entity that's trying to take away their rights or something equally absurd. I'm definently ill-informed when it comes to this topic but that's all the more reason I shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Please, before posting your rambling manifestos about the vile evils that abound in a future of globalization, do a little research and try and see both sides of the argument.
Jesus, I'm not installing my DVD am I? I'm watching it, like a VHS cassette or anything else, the only difference in this case is that VHS isn't used (to my limited knowledge of these things) as a media for storing binary data while a DVD is.
It seems from the article that the case Warner Home Video is presenting is that a DVD is computer software with a movie hidden somwhere inside, which is totally bogus.
When I go out to purchase a DVD, I'm thinking, "Wow, Fight Club is going to look awesome on my friends big screen;" not, "Wow, I can't wait to go home and enjoy my Fight Club-related software and included movie!" The mere fact that they market these as things that you *WATCH* with extra features should totally nullify their whole argument. I might be able to understand it if they called it "Interactive software, *now with a free movie!*," but they don't, because nobody wants that crap, they want a movie, if they didn't they wouldn't have purchased it. Get off your high-horse Warner and stop gouging rental outlets.
The only thing you're missing is some logic, who gives a flying fuck if they post something that doesn't interest you? I may not like HP's new mp3 thingey-ma-bobbie but I'm not gonna flame that thread just to make a point. If you'll look @ all the other posts it seems most/.'ers are quite interested in this so who cares? If you only want to read articles that relate to a) tech b)gadgets c)"neat stuff" don't even bother reading these. Go along your business and let us discuss the issues that matter to us.
