I'm not well informed about DVDs but they're still discs in the same way a CD a disc (yeah there's probably nano-reflective doodads and multi-protective widgets, but it's similar, correct?), the only *major* difference is that they use the blue laser with the shorter wave length to be able to make the data denser, if anyone was going to markey this new violet-laser disc technology they wouldn't call them "violet-laser DVDs", at least I'd hope not. They'd hopefully give them a new flashy name so that 'Joe Consumer' won't say "wtf, why can't my DVD player from '97 play there new DVDs?".
Besides, those people who say that should be drug out into the street and shot, it's the only way we can evolve as a people, weed out the incompetent.
It would be unfeasible to make a self-contained system and put it in the car, why don't people read the article then you will see how simple his idea is, you don't need a self-contained sytem, it's a good enough plan without complicating it. Besides, he said it would take a washing machine size machine to do that, where do you plan on putting that machine? In the back seat? And why now? Is it that hard to hook up your car when you're parked in your garage?
ok, Do the math, he said you could go for 200 miles a day *IF* you had something like 2200 hours of sunlight in a year, divide 365.25 days in a year, thus, running @ full efficiency your little system only needs 6.02 hours of sunlight per day on average to get your car to go 200 miles. I don't think I travel more then 30 miles across town in a day, 60 if I've got some errands to run.
Not living in Canada I wouldn't know how much sun you get but I'm sure you get enough to get where you need to go, and no one said you couldn't store your hydrogen/oxygen for later use. If you were really interested in making a little cash you could set up solar cells on your entire roof and sell off all of the extra H and O.

It's impossible to read that shit that is linked.... Commentary would be very appreciated.
Landrieu, Mary (D - LA) was gone.... Anyone know why? Seems like a kinda big bill, not that it had a chance of not getting passed.
Strom? Off drooling somewhere no doubt....
Almost Meaningless Digits...... :p
