Okay buddy, explain where this theory is incorrect: It takes no energy to change the direction of movement of photons. Lenses and prisms do this effortlessly.
It is possible to create a nearly completely one-way aperture for RF energy (such as a circulator). A device which accepts radiated or convected heat energy and radiated more than 50% in one direction only would not have any particular reason to consume energy in order to operate. Therefore, it may be possible to use the entropy and heat energy from air, water, or other matter and channel it in one direction in order to be used, costing nothing.
Explain how your theory applies to motors with a different theory of operation than a standard motor, such as a stepper motor. (this is technically a DC motor) I would be interested in how you could butcher another explanation worse. You keep using RMS. I do not think it means what you think it means. You see what I mean? I am not trying to be mean to you but RMS MEANS something different, not MID.
I am shocked, absolutely SHOCKED that you would whore yourself for geek-cred using someone else's brain. Such a thing should be rewarded with grant money and showered with adulation. Whoring for Karma and the adulation of anonymous geeks on the internet truly is the lowest thing ever. At least I just sell my ass for Krispy Kremes. You suck the anonymous cock of all of mankind. My hat is off to you, sir. Please wipe your feet on the way out.
That's right, because permanent magnets don't raise the potential energy of objects they lift off of the ground. It still takes work to remove an object from a permanent magnet. Sure, you can heat up a permanent magnet and make it release, but that's adding energy. I am seriously skeptical about his claim regarding this motor hooked up to a generator. Perhaps momentary power shows overunity, but this device must simply be using an effect similar to a large flywheel. If I spin up a motor-generator with a big flywheel on it, I can pull out more instantaneous power than I put in, but the energy comes from the flywheel. I can't see how this crap could work long-term in an air conditioner.
I don't want new WAYS to use the existing functionality of my computer. I want new TOOLS, new things I can do that I could not do before, or things which were complex now made simple. I want my computer to understand spoken instructions in sentence form. I want to tell my computer " Find all of the image files in the computer where the majority color is orange". I want to tell my computer "Show me a list of all of the files on my computer which have been modified or accessed by a user process in the last 15 minutes." and get no system and log files as a result. I want my computer to actually know the purpose of each file its OS is built from. I want to ask it if anything is different between this bootup and last. WHY is the industry looking to add superfluous eyecandy to the same functionality? It's like being sold a 1930 Ford with a new, prettier body for 2004 but still having the old rattletrap engine.
Those apps that need 3d will HAVE it (Quake)
Find ways I can do things FASTER with less effort!!
Surely you must be kidding. If we can't ridicule the homeless, who have no access to lawyers, then who might I ask should we ridicule?
Everyone else except retards and psychos will sue the crap out of you.
Hey goofball, by using a keylogger he was esentially NOT allowing her to use the computer unsupervised. Get that? Sometimes when you have a teen, you're not always there glowering over her in judgement over her every action, and all you can do is supervise as you can, when you can. What he was doing was monitoring her use. What more legitimate use could there be than a parent monitoring a child? What he wants in this case is a method of knowing what his child's interests and potential weak areas are. This way he can provide additional guidance and wisdom for her to help her along. I don't think it means he cares too little- neglectful parents simply don't use anything at all, and of them there are plenty. The most accurate information you can get about the activity of a child is that information gathered from times when the child did not percieve monitoring or authority. It's a good indicator of your child's patterns elsewhere. It's good parenting.
You're assuming that the blacks in your neighborhood can only react with violence when faced with a person whose head is screwed on crooked? It sounds like you're saying that blacks are violent and dangerous to white people. Is that what you're saying?
Patronization or instituting reduced standards is the most subversive form of racism. You are in essence saying that their blackness somehow causes them to break the law and act out with brutality or violence. I don't buy that.
The worst part is that they have $130 million dollars to put together what is actually just a PC in a fancy box, and they still haven't done that completely. Their "device" is essentially a casemod, and their product would have to be mostly software on the server side of things, so why does it take so long? (no. games. ever.) Seriously, the first game you play on this will be Duke Nukem Forever. And it's going to cost you 60 bucks and 2 hours of your cablemodem access to use it- you'll get no CD and only be able to play it so long as you keep paying your monthly bill to Infinium. This doesn't sound to me like an attractive business model. It sounds like all you'd be able to play are old 1990's video games and pay through the nose to do so.
Actually I think that loosely translates to "We at Infinium believe that our company stock will sell best to those people who have no knowledge of investment, corporate economics, or business management. We anticipate our sales to these boobs to comprise 99% of our total market cap."
You should have gone with a user friendly distribution for your first linux installation. I would recommend Mandrake, Suse, or Redhat/Fedora. Also, this is either a completely off-topic and idiotic post. After subsequently viewing your previous posts, I have concluded that you are a troll. Welcome to my foes list.
I should back that up with facts- the event in question occurred in early February, 2000. I was working on the Space Station Emergency Lighting Power Supply (ELPS) for Goodrich Data Systems. The Progress module used was slated for ISS use and funded by the USA. This module was extremely important. For diplomatic reasons, not much was really made over this, but it was a very serious betrayal. It delayed delivery to the ISS of several items by about 20 months. In the end, the Russians did improve diplomatic relations by deorbiting the nearly fossilized MIR, and all went well after that.
I've never heard of drunk cosmonauts, and I rely very much on the American media for my space related news. I would wonder whether this simulation includes Russia selling the USA a SOYUZ module and then after sale but prior to delivery, using that SOYUZ themselves to maintain orbit for MIR?
After that, do they offer to sell the USA ANOTHER SOYUZ for an additional one hundred million dollars?
That would rock!
It's the N-Gage for chrissakes! It's ripe for the flaming! aw, nuts. Anyway, yesterday's news, nothing to see here.

· Score: 2, Interesting
A diamond tank wouldn't be desireable. Diamond is HARD, not strong. Steel is strong, and (kind of) hard. The strength is what's really needed- however, if we could make thin layers of diamond and laminate them with layers of steel, who knows what the results would be like?
How is your honeypot a frightening thing? You can't possibly harm my box and it's running off of a live CD anyway. (don't bother logging my MAC address either, as it's changed at boot) The most you can do is waste five minutes of my time.

Read his post- he's talking about Espresso, which is served in teensy weensy shot glasses.

play Enemy Territory. I haven't (to my knowledge) encountered a cheater. There are some very good players, however.

If you ARE a phantom BETA tester I have to ask- Have you received your hardware? Have you played games on the system? What games?
You can tell by the moderation in this thread that linux gaming is rather an emotionally charged topic for slashdot's members.

how did that get modded down? So it was cheerleading. Why should that affect my karma?
That is seriously funny. Thanks for the linky.
It really is a great project. It will be interesting to see how far it can go with proper funding.
Obviously, the woman keeps score (duh)
