He said the Cells were dangerous. Not the fuel itself. That's like asking if an IC engine design is 'safe' and we know it is, since we can regulate the flow well. When was the last time a car engine (not gas tank) just blew up?
Storing solar power in the form of brown's gas (hydrogen oxygen mix 2:1 mix) is moronic. Just use a battery; you're not going to get that much energy from the sun. Electrolysis and combustion (even chemical with a fuel cell) is going to be really inefficient.
Really. If IBM started their own distro, or purchaced redhat, they would own the distro market flat out. Everyone in bussness would go for "IBM stablity" over anything else (hell, I would to unless I knew for sure it sucked).
And I doubt that many of the 'hard core' would be very happy about seeing companies like redhat, SUSE, etc get the smackdown. IBM would kill its karma with the community.
I doubt that it's better then AIX (technicaly) all around, but what it is an OS with growing marketshare and way better compatablity, which means more software. AIX is never going to do anything to microsoft, Linux is.
Lesson one would involve your head and a baseball bat.
Good Idea, as we all know, when you dissagree with someone, the only sensible thing is to engage in violence. Thats why the taliban were so popular. Everyone knew how smart they were!
Just go to your user prefrences/homepage/exclude stories from homepage/ and check the box next to Jon Katz. On the one hand, that means you can't flame him any more, but on the other you can at least pretend he got fired like he should have.
Well, obviously there's a huge diffrence between controlling what a child sees at home, and controlling what an entire population sees in a nation. When the kid growes up, or the patron leaves the library, they can get the internet unfiltered.
And the fact that they our censoring out political speach is also a Bad Thing.
I was hoping after the last article, you'd be gone, I didn't expect it, since slashdot seems to have zero accountability.
Nope, but here you are again, presenting the exact opposite thesis. And almost as poorly.
In fact, the Saudi government is helping to pioneer something once thought impossible -- a sanitized Net for an entire nation and culture.
Not thought impossible by the Chinese or even the Australians (a western democracy even!). Did you just get a copy of Lawrence Lessing's new book or something? I mean, it's always possible to excerpt some measure of control over something, if the internet's structure 'routs around' censorship, then all you have to do is change the structure.
Rice rockets are what American Bikers call asian motercycles, Rice Boys are a term used for usualy asian kids who do freaky and fruitless things to their usualy asian cars.
The TI8x calcs (except the 89, which is just a 92 without a keyboard) all use zilog z80 chips.
The link port is just a 1/16th inch (i think) headphone jack. If you want to listen to audio out of it you just have to plug in regular headphones (not a radio)
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 anonymous poster but not quite.
No, you die. You drop fucking dead. The world is full of fucking idiots who don't bother to think or use their imaginations. Anyone with half a goddamn brain who played attention or had the least amount of curiosity would know what a hertz was. Attributes you are clearly lacking. The information is all there, if you only bothered to listen.
If it were an isolated thing it wouldn't be a problem, or annoying, but it's endemic in our world... And its becoming endemic on slashdot, a site that once bore some of the brightest and most interesting individuals and is now flooded with mediocre (and worse, such as yourself) minds who blather on about 'nitrogen pollution' and shit. I hope you leave, you don't deserve to post here, I don't even think you deserve to live.
I've got a secret for you. The human attribute that has caused and continues to cause the most pain and the most suffering in our human race isn't greed, or religion, or hatred or love, but stupidity, and not a lack of intellectual horsepower but a willful and malicious intellectual laziness. One you bare in spades.
You're the darting-eyed beetle-man in 1984 (ooh, literary allusion, not that you'd know what that was, or read books), you're the real fuel of the fires of the holocaust, you're the unthinking engine of Stalin and Mao. You're the uninformed voter, the fox news viewer, the Salem witch burner, the Microsoft customer, you're the VB coder.
You're what makes the world suck. You're stupid. And I hate you.
That was a mistake. I was originally only going to list the first three, but added the fourth because you'd need to use simple arithmetic and if you didn't know it you couldn't. I thought that I had changed the 'three' to a 'four' in both cases, but obviously I missed one.
I suppose you should be extra-careful not to make any mistakes when criticizing someone for stupidity or whatever, but I do hope that you realize the difference between a typo and sheer, unadulterated, idiocy.
The turbine was etched into silicon. Like a microchip. How are you going to make one 'bigger' then what they had using the same techniques?
And certainly you could make turbines for cars, there's no guaranty that it would be more efficient or green or whatever. You can use gasoline with a turbine (in fact the article talked about using fossil fuels with that little thing) and you can use hydrogen for piston engines. Its really not that big of a deal.
And isn't like there is much hydrogen just floating around out there for use to use to power cars and stuff with, it requires more electricity to extract hydrogen then you do by burning it.

The FUEL exploded not the fucking engines!
It dosn't matter what method of extracting energy was used, what matters is how it's stored.

of course, they can't block any content thats encrypted
.zip files or other binary data though.
Actualy the can quite easily. They just have to block all encrypted data. Might cause problems with

They didn't say anything about liquid hydrogen.
Basically it could be held in one hand and generate enough electricity to power a house
Presumably not at the same time!
They used to put that stuff in 7up, untill it was discovered to be psychoactive. Now it's used to help depression.
Why don't they dissipate that heat by transforming it into more electrical power?
It's called "entropy"
I think most power plants are bigger then four meters on a side...
there's the issue of the water vapor being vented in close proximity to the electronic circuitry
Pure water is an isulator. You need to have ions floating around in order for it to be a problem.
It's called transfer of knowledge. To solve that problem you only have to know four things things.
1) RPM = "Revolutions per minute"
2) There are 60 seconds in a minute
3) Hz is a measure of cycles per second
4) Simple arithmetic
If you knew those three things, you did know how to convert RPM to Hz. You were just to stupid to realize it.
The continuing depreciation of the slashdot intelligence level is really depressing.
