I keep reading hear on wonderful advancements in the field of solar cells. Like the chick who made solar cells with a pizza oven (is she single, btw?). But still nothing happens and I can't see people who really deploy solar cells on their roofs - mostly because it takes them 20 years to return the investment (and I think that they die shortly after that)
When is this going to be a reality? Why is this taking so long?
I ran Firefox under another, limited user, and installed the Firefox add on. I noticed that after entering any censored item, all my connections further are disconnected.
Anyway, after some playing, and while being under using a Chinese address, Firefox noticed me that there's an add-on update.
I stupidly updated, thinking "great! maybe it'll solve some problems". But the thing is that the add-on updated under the Chinese address! It might have been a fake, tampered update.
I had a paranoia attack and erased the other limited user.
It's very nice to upgrade - when you choose from the menu: System > Administration > Update Manager, it lets you upgrade the entire OS with the click of a button. But it doesn't download using a BitTorrent, does it? So who's going to pay for all the bandwidth? It freaks me out..
The story isn't that good either. They just go and go and go and do stuff. Not interesting to the least bit. Having a more interesting characters could have solved it.
PJ did a terrible job with LoTR. Although it's nice that he eliminated Tom Bombadil, it was still horrible. Really. All the characters maintained their shallowness, just like it's depicted in the books.
So it'd be best for all if he doesn't do it. Give the work to a more inspired director.
Since the article about China mentions plasma, I was wondering if it's possible for a human to touch plasma (ionized gas). Is there a plasma that won't hurt humans?
The iTV thing will cost $299! That's just too expensive! All I need is a device that can access files through WiFi and show them on the TV. I don't need it to have a snazzy interface.
I think you have a mistake there. The bed is operated by magnets, not electromagnets. So it won't increase your electricity bill.
But still, I'm not sure I like your solution either. Ants can still come from the ceiling. One of them woke me up yesterday.. maybe it's a hint I should wash the floor.
Anyway, I think the best solution would be a personal laser bubble, similar to the one mentioned here (but smaller). It will destroy any nasty insect getting near me, and will take care of mosquitos as well (damn that asian tiger is driving me crazy!)

Speaking of which, how do I get to Alpha Centauri? It is supposed to be in the spot nearest to Sol, but I can't understand where it is.
I rock baby

Really. How do they know that no airplanes will fly in that area and collide with the balloon?
Just wanted to mention that this camera-based automation exists since 2002 in Israel in Highway no. 6.
Hugs.

I should also mention that I'm looking for a girlfriend.
What the hell is that?
Since we have lotsa redundant connections here.
Lucky us!
I could live with that, but why the file size is not displayed?! And why can't I rename/delete files from it, unlike every other GUI?

That's a lot of text, but it seems interesting. I shall be reading it tomorrow at work.

my own body (fueled on beer alone) can do better than that
I doubt it. Ever tried to produce 100w? It's so hard!
2 kW is just one kettle.
So it's certainly not enough for "powering an household", as the article says.
Today's PHD comic pays a tribute to Ando.

And besides, what about the iPhone?
I'm sorry, but Apple is not delivering.
I was wondering if the Voyager is protected from take overs. Can anyone control it herself instead of Nasa, and then do stupid things with it?
What if I'm an allergic millionaire?
Not if I take a shower, check if I have nothing on me and then go to sleep naked!
