    The fireworks were real, only the video on your TV was CGI. I doubt if the picture is PSed anyway.

    Actually it was the British, who is going to have the next Olympics. After the ceremony, I have been expecting some bad words about it, so far it is only the fireworks.

    I blame BOB for it. This BOB is under the International Olympic Committee. And I heard that the guy in charge of the opening ceremony TV broadcasting is Sweden.

    But metal is recyclable, plastic is not really recyclable. And about 8% of our crust is aluminum, plastic is from the oil, which is disappearing quickly. You may have noticed that aluminum is extracted from the ore, but did you know how plastic become plastic?

    As carbon fiber reinforced plastic, I hope you realize that carbon fibers are made from polyacrylonitrile fibers by heating. And most CFRP products are absolutely not recyclable.

  14. In the company I used to work... on Google Open Sources Its Data Interchange Format · · Score: 1

    In the document, google showed one case of XML

      <person>
        <name>John Doe</name>
        <email>jdoe@example.com</email>

    However, in the company I used to work, we required such a file to be written something like

      <person
        name="John Doe"
        email="jdoe@example.com"/>

    The google protocol buffer format it will beperson {
        name = "John Doe"
        email = "jdoe@example.com"

    I failed to see why the protocol buffer format is much smaller and faster.

  24. Re:Anonymous Coward on Hairy Solar Cells Could Mean Higher Efficiency · · Score: 1

    But this is conducting polymer based PV, those semiconductor nanowires are used as electrodes. The polymer based PV works in a different way of traditional silicon based PV. A photon can excite an electron-hole pair on the polymer back bone, which is somewhat similar to the traditional PV. But the electron-hole pair in polymer based PV doesn't dissociated, and the electron-hole pair can travel together for about 10-20nm by diffusion and then recombine. The way to get the energy out of the polymer is to use a electron or hole collector to separate the electron-hole pair. In TFA, the silicon nanowires are used as electron collectors (or electrode). So the AC got it wrong actually.

    It is impossible to use semiconductor nanowires alone as PVs. You can simply calculate the size of depletion region and effect of surface recombination, then you will realize it is impossible.

    And there are many problems with polymer based PVs. They degrade when they are exposed to sunshine due to the UV light in sunshine. Their performance degrade to zero in several hours if they are exposed to air. So personally, I don't put to much trust on the 3-5 years thing.
