well, ya know, cars are already powered by explosions.
The Hindenberg just had a big Hydrogen balloon that wasn't being depleted - it was simply "there". In the case of a hydrogen-powered car, the hydrogen supply would be steadily depleted in a semi-closed system with little to no chance of a huge pocket igniting. For the exact same reason that, under standard usage, gas tanks and fuel lines don't explode.
This does not account for Pintos and Volkswagens, of course.
Slashdot Mirror
Pretty soon everyone in Utah is going to be getting spammed with extra wives.
Does it come with a lightgun?
... and watch them recoil in 3D blocky splendour!
;-)
If I'm gonna play VirtuaPC, I need a lightgun so I can shoot all those stupid Windows applications
Woo! VirtuaFighter!
Erm, I mean, VirtuaPC.
... will look like ass.
I didn't say "fresh" water - and besides, the output of a clean-burning hydrogen engine is itself fresh water.
... if we could filter and "burn" oceanwater, our hydrogen engines could produce enough water to feed the planet.
In effect
I shall have to hurt you now. lol :)
Now it reminds me of Rod Stewart. Eww.
The linux distro they run on Star Trek?
Does it include Majel Barrett-Rodenbery's voice?
That isn't a dark spot - that's just a collection of the densest matter on Earth.
Looks like someone forgot to wipe the lense properly
hahahah ...
... ah well.
Naw, I have a girlfriend. I was just suggesting things that other slashdot readers might be interested in.
I don't think there's a surplus on Hot Grits and Natalie Portman
Well, yeah. I guess I don't really understand the fine art of the surplus. Maybe I budget too well.

I need brains!
Hippocampwhatsus?
Magic. And the power of farts.
It would be fun.
:)
Maybe we could have portable nuclear fusion reactors to generate the electricity, and then the water would act as a coolant AND as fuel?

Electric cars didn't seem to be going anywhere. They ran out of power too fast ...
...
Hydrogen fuel cells, hybrids, and (I wish) water-powered cars, now THAT would be something worth exploring
Help me, I'm confuzzled!
This post is prezactly on-topic! Honest!
(okay, stop ignoring now
A hydrogen-based economy would be awesome! If we could generate all our power from water ... we'd have an almost infinite supply! woo!
Except for that nasty using-up-all-the-oxygen thing ... ah well. I'm sure we can adapt. Nitrogen works, right? :)
Even french fries and perfume?
Next, on Jerry Springer: :)
"Windows is a Kernel. Deal with it."
everyone just needs to go camooing.
an AC up near the top suggested an alternative acronym:
"Linux Audio Realtime Developers And Sound Symposium"
It has a nice ring to it, I think.
"Hey, you - I'm here for LARDASS, where's the pizza?"
Since when do jelly donuts have holes?
... ... as well as SpaceCorps directive 97G!
You're violating the fifth law of thermodonutdynamics here
(97G: No officer will false teeth shall attempt oral sex in a zero gravity environment.)
Only if you were bald (chrome-dome), standing outside, and not obscured by any celestial bodies.
... not yet. Otherwise we'd have working X-Ray glasses, like James Bond does. :)
Sure, it's possible to see through matter, but
What's this about shooting Blue Man Group?
