No, that's very much against federal law. It's stupid as can be because it's a unilateral embargo that has little effect in the real world but not keeping it up would have been political suicide due to all the expats in southern Florida. As an individual you are unlikely to get in much trouble, but for example a coworker of mine can't risk it, she's a greencard holder from Canada who might be thrown in jail upon returning if it was found out she had been in Cuba and would almost assuredly have her greencard revoked.
Now consider that your typical 1 car garage is 250 sq ft or ~24 sq m. That gives a ratio of 16:1. Given 12 hours or 720 minutes of insolation you get 45 minutes of drive time at 10% power. That's starting to sound pretty reasonable. Of course 100% efficiency is laughable as is 10% power use (cruising on the highway requires ~, but your at least close to the right order of magnitude. In fact according to these calculations maintaining a 55mph cruise takes about 15kW so you only need to be ~25% efficient, not too far off from what these panels are supposed to be capable of so you'd need to cover part of the house too =)
The way to deal with dents is to use lots of interconnections and make the transport system from a tube in a tube design. The outer tube contains a polymer that hardens when exposed to H2O, any dent significant enough to cause the tubing to burst seals itself and the interconnections route around the blocked tube. Think of it as a cross between internet routing and the bodies clotting system =)
The problem is one of wear&tear. If you constantly recharge your cells at home and then only trade them at a filling station when they no longer hold a charge you have received a very expensive somewhat used battery pack for the price of a fillup, obviously not a good business model for the filling station! The answer from what I can see is a fulltime electric vehicle with an optional generator trailer for long hauls. Most people can get by 90+% of the time with a 50 mile range, extend it to 100 miles and it's probably 99+%.
I don't know what you consider sane but my living room is 18' deep and so I could definitely use a screen larger than my 42". The reason I didn't buy something large is that to get 1080P in something larger than 42" was an absolute fortune. I got away with mine for $1500, to go up to even a 50" screen was going to roughly double the price. I wanted 1080P to futureproof the purchase and because I was using it as a display for a HTPC, gaming is just great fun on a really big monitor =)
Can those $125 cards offload the IPoIB? Because trying to do TCP/IP at 10Gbit without offload is a lesson in futility. In fact even maintaining actual 1Gbit speed takes a lot of overhead unless you are using jumbo frames, which are only useful for bulk data transfers.
Artists don't need the labels to get hooked on drugs, as Tool says:
See I think drugs have done good things for us, I really do.
And if you don't believe that drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor.
Go home tonight, take all your albums,
all your tapes, all your cds and burn them.
Cause all the musicians that made that great music that has enhanced your lives throught the years,
real fucking high on drugs!
Only as song writers. The studio owned their catalog and sold it. Michael Jackson owns a big chunk of it currently. He bought the catalog at $45.1M and it's valued at more than $1B which I can guarantee you is a hell of a lot more than the Beatles have seen over their entire lives. That's just one relatively small (but talent rich) catalog, think of what the industry as a whole is doing to the artists!
Most are, the Mac Classic, the CRT imac, etc. In fact looking back the only Apple products that stick out to me as big design wins are the G5 tower, the cube, the lcd imac, and the ipod. Not that IBM/Lenovo is going to win any artistic design awards but they are great functional designs that last forever, kind of like a good pickup truck.
Those aren't all that great, their ~40W equivalent uses 8W, a decent CFL of similar lumens uses ~10W, so only a 20% savings. That's at a cost of $50 vs $1.50 (GE CFL's at your favorite warehouse store). Until they can get the price down and the max lumens up they can't compete, but I guess that's why the research is being funded. Of course I would prefer to bring the cost of manufacturing down, but perhaps the technology really isn't there yet.
Yeah, and millions of them going to the dump each year won't raise the levels in your drinking water supply at all.... Individually they have small amounts, but in aggregate they are potentially a large source of environmental mercury. Of course coal power plants dwarf them, so the reduction in coal being burned probably offsets the amount going into the waste bulbs. Ideally you have an LED light that lasts a decade or longer which is what this article is about. There's still waste in the manufacturing process but it's concentrated and so easier to deal with.
As production capacity and demand. If they really wanted to speed the adoption of LED lighting they would use that $21M to buy LED lights for government offices. Even better would be a law requiring the government use energy efficient lighting technology, that would provide for large orders and a guaranteed market which will lead the market to fill the need. It would have the benefit of reducing energy waste by the largest employer and landlord in the world.
Wow, talk about taking the ivory tower to the extreme. This kind of thinking went out of favor with the end of the dark ages! There should be no cult of knowledge guarding the gates to the pearly halls of wisdom. Information should be free and all people should be educated to the level where they have the ability to take information and synthesize knowledge, opinion, and understanding from that information.
Exactly, Harvard is simply taking advantage of the fact that they are a leading institution and must figure that many other research schools will follow quickly. In fact I really doubt this was done in a vacuum, they surely had informal communications with other institutions which agreed to follow their lead.
I was doing work on tolken ring networks just 4 years ago. Of course I worked for Big Blue at the time so that explains it, but there are a surprising number of legacy systems out there still churning away, like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it.
When we did our computer room expansion several years ago we literally used hedge clippers to cut out the old cables from the raceway. We went from having 3 random colors for cables to having one color per cabinet with pre-labeled bundles. It makes it MUCH easier to maintain and I have some fun photos for a portfolio =)
Or it means the people with the ability to track demographics (like Yahoo, Microsoft and Google) just became a lot more important because they are the ones that can really provide that information, not some advertising section of a retailer that bases their information on what people put in a web form.
I love my Senator, Sherrod Brown. He gets it much more than just about anyone on the Hill. When he was in the House he was on the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet and he consistently voted for what I believe most slashdot folks would consider the side of geeks and the consumer. I now understand why some Senators get elected so many times, they really are in sync with their constituents.

Does this mean the expat's in Miami will finally shut up and I can visit Havana soon (legally).

LG has a dual format writer that can be had for as cheap as $327. I couldn't find a burner that only supported HD DVD for any cheaper.

Nah with a company like that it usually means IP including patents, trademarks and copyrights.

Hmmm, I wonder if you haven't pinpointed why popular music has so declined since the Copyright Act of 1976 went into effect in 1978.

I've asked my Director to get me a copy since mine are at home and I can't RDP there from work. I should reply later today with a link or ten =)
Yep that's the one I was thinking of.
