Politics and lawyers don't stop people from growing hemp or building methamphetamine labs....
but they do stop you from building a rsa cracker in silicon a La men in black show up at your door, you stop showing up anywhere else, ever.
sure no one will stop you from making your pupkin turn blue but just try to generate a genitic mutation that lets you get around government bioIdent systems.
except of course that ever present once we get inside cuasality could be violated and then your food keeps getting warmer and uncooking itself if you don't hurry up and eat it
The big advantage of these cells is that right now a large portion of the suns rays hits our solar panels and efectively bounces off. maybe all the stuff in the infrared and most of the uv.
These because they effectivly have a broader frequency response can soak up a larger portion of the energy falling on them.
So now not only can your average joe schmoe let his computer get hacked he can let his fridge, dryer, and toaster get hacked all over his wireless network thanks to his new robot pal:)
I've heard unfourtunatly that CRAM is going to be expensive and hot as all get out dissapating something LIKE 25W. I think current SDRAM dissapates 1W
So now I can have memory that costs 10 times as much and require a heat sink and fan
Don't get me wrong, I think its just about the coolest stuff I've heard of in a long time but I don't think It'll show up in my desktop anytime soon. I'll see how it does in things like the google search appliance and routers first.
perhaps I show my ignorance but I was under the(probably misinformed) impression that gasoline octane ratings were based on the percentage of octane(C8H18) molecules found.
I thought that the car engineer folk would optomize the engine for that fuel thus higher octane fuel would burn better
Obvioussly since you can measure the octane of alchohol this must be wrong.
"Define better. More developed. Sure. More westernized. I grant you that. But the native cultures are struggling for survival. These are cultures that have existed far longer than western "civilization"."
This is true and if they had adapted to their environment as well as we have to ours they would probably have big honking oil drills and car factories too.
Out of curiosity do you use oil based energy? if So why not stop driving your car of running your air conditioner/heater of fosil fuels or stop ranting till you do.
The energy to live in the manner to which we are accustomed must come from somewhere or we must cease living in the manner to which we are accustomed.
And yet we as a people have decided it is ok to steal "gas" in the form of music. most of my friends have at least some of their music and some of my friends have most of their music ilegally.
But none of my friends steal gas, why do we think one is ok and the other is a misdemenaor
Umm... i'm not sure but i'd bet there would be issues with finding glass that would take the strain. I know my old hard drive had a void warranty at 50G's
I've heard thats about what you get if you drop something hard from 3 or 4 feet onto a concrete floor. I don't know many cameras that would survive that kind of force contiuously.
ok, now lets divide by your weight.
$10 per kilo, lets say you weight 60 kilos. this predicts 60 for your trip.
Now lets point out that I can fly from DC to San francisco for about $100. A 5 hour trip but still the same price. Some transportation is just cheaper than others.

I remember in elementary school we did a cool think where you showed people it was nearly imposible to hold a 12" ruler steady enough to keep a paper clip on the end.
Perhaps you could have something that would magnify her motion and make sensors more reliable

man is vastly iferior to giant hyenas,
dogs are vastly inferior to humans
hyenas are apperently vastly inferior to dogs
anyone else see problems here?

you can't be forced into positive thinking. You can be forced into positive acting
I think it is good to encourage people to have a happy outlook
I think it is bad to do the above without a good enough relationship w/ the patient to tell if they are "faking".
but I didn't see anything in the article about CRTs They may have meant either CRTs or flat screens
Then Al Gore can show us how he invented gravity :)

As I understand it the same calculations for ETs help astronomers find other stuff too
The SETI could be looked on as a nice "front" to get people interested
would it cost to keep this up as a private thing?
my guess is they aren't thinking of cell phones. Believe it or not some people aren't worried about their cell phones.
These could have implication in micro-robotics or other small autonomous electronic devices

becuase this would mean that you would less often have to read and write to the memory thus getting around the bottleneck instead of fixing it

We can't have both.
that we still can't see planets becuase most planets don't have radio stations on them :)

depends on how important it is.
;)
TCP/IP seems to be pretty universally accepted.
if it becomes a big enough problem somebody rich will pay to fix it
I'm pretty sure balloons can get at least as high as airplanes
I think the world record or at least a world record was held by a nasa balloon at over 100,000ft.
Last I checked 747's don't get that high
see subject
you must purchase a diamond
MUST
