I can see this replacing steel rebar in reinforced concrete once it gets cheap enough. The stuff will never rust, no matter how much it is exposed to moisture.
That's a practical application that carbon nanotubes can be applied to now
The difference in potential could be used to power the elevator. And if you have more energy than you need, use it for other things. Hell, sell it into the power grid.
Imagine the world having thousands of space cables, because they produce clean power.
I looked into that. And it's impossible to tell if two 2 port cards will play nice with each other when installed in the same system, without actually experimenting with them.
Although it would be really cool to put a nuclear arsenal at mall security's disposal...the complete obliteration of everything in a several mile diameter would be bad for business.
The original statement was "Penetrate markets with low priced products."
They compete on price with a few of their products. As in "Are about the same price as the competition."
So, that means the first statement is flat-out false. It would have to be amended to "Penetrates markets by offering some products that are roughly the same price as the competition."
Which doesn't make sense.
What the heck is a "Real time motion graphics application" anyway?

I would imagine any XML config format is designed to be accessed by a GUI interface.
Yes, it sucks for terminal using monkeys, but for the 99.99999% of the people who use a GUI on their desktop, it's just fine.

Corrode?
It's pure carbon man. When was the last time you've heard of diamonds rusting away?
Why not use the elevator as a source of power?

Here's an idea, how about we put it up, and if bad things happen, see if we can fix them.
If not, then take it back down. Ta da.
You can sit around and think of the ramifications from now til eternity. But the only way to find out what the ramifications really are, is to act.
Yeah, isn't it great how expendable rockets burn up on re-entry every time? Man, if only the shuttle had that kind of record.
Huh. I didn't know that. Thanks for the link!
Yeah, nowhere on that page does it say it's ECC. I've seen several ads for cheap RAM for the Mac that don't mention that important point.
How can you double it for 40$? I thought you had to use ECC memory on Macs?
As opposed to what? All of the total of venture capital investment? 126% of the total?
Even if it's 95% of the total, it's 19/20th. A fraction of the total venture capital investment!
Man, I hate that phrase. When comparing two numbers, it's HARD to not have one be a fraction of the other.
What are the odds that a normal non-godlike CS graduate could get a job at any of those places you mentioned?
Firefly's one and only season is available for 35$. And it rocks.
You realize that posting as an AC will cause your post to be deleted when slashdot archives this story?
So, if someone decides to have a "real discussion" with you, it will only show his side.
Brilliant.
I finally got my 510 working under linux. The output is poor, but it's better than nothing.
Ah yes. The fact that the aliens speak American english instead of British english is good enough reason to completely discount the whole movie.
By the way, did you ever follow up on your review of that one episode of "Itchy and Scratchy"?
'Worst. Episode. Ever."
"Also, since you're using SATA, why only 4 drives?"
Because 4 drives fit perfectly behind the 120mm fan in the front of the case.
Because I can power everything in the case with a common power supply, also with a 120mm fan.
Because that's all I can afford.
It doesn't have to be high performance. It's my linux box for the house. The RAID is for keeping drive images, mp3s, video recorded from TV, etc.
I didn't think it was possible to access the drives connected to a RAID card without having a working driver to access that card.
It's the Fastrack S150 SX4.
"Con - PATA Only. Must be one drive per channel!"
Woah! Wait, what?
SATA is one driver per channel.
RAID 5 isn't supported by OS/X, I had the same idea.
There was a 3rd party software implementation of RAID5 for OS/X, but they went out of business.
I looked into that. And it's impossible to tell if two 2 port cards will play nice with each other when installed in the same system, without actually experimenting with them.
Because first I would need a Motherboard with 4 SATA ports on it. Which I don't have, so I need to get a SATA card.
Revert to canibalism.

But the free publicity would be priceless!

Because manager's don't have godlike abilities to sense who is breaking the rules.
So they have to set things up to make it harder to break the rules.
