Transformers was one of the pivotal movies NOT available in blu-ray ony DVD and HDDVD the director was in the news quite a bit, heavily opposed to this decision by the studio transformers still is unavailable on blu-ray- althought that is expected to change.
see that last word in the quote above? that is a court order, of a type that can be challenged see the summary "Hours after a federal court judge ordered Oklahoma State University to show cause"
see, 'cause' would be the challenge. The judge demanded a challenge or submission to the request. the university submitted a response to a cort order, so the entire second half of your comment is moot.
I guess the real problem is with my original short reply. instead of "Likely no" I should have been more clear.
so specifically, to the comment" I think their body work could power those lights pretty well, offloading from the grid quite a bit."
my response should have been, "likely no, it will only offload from the grid by a tiny insignifcant useless amount, so small that even the cost of setting up the equipment will be more expensive in terms of energy generation to make the changes, and connect the device to the grid, and make it all work"
YES, people ARE doing it, I agree. However, it's not "Offloading from the grid quite a bit" nor is it likely to ever offload from the grid to any amount useful. that's the point I find worthy of my original rebut. The ability of a room full of people to power a room full of lights is not there. picture the amount of gym space required to have 100 people in equipment use at peak times alone, you'd have at least 10% more machines than that, and space inbetween. that's a large darn room, and more than 100 light bulbs at gym lighting levels... you are going to have supply that goes up and down constantly- so yes, massive electrical work required to either store the juice or keep it flowing to/from the city connection (and to break the connection in case of a failure outside)
It's possible to do, it's being done, but the supposed benefit isn't there, and won't be there. I was just too snarky in my reply.

http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=224812&cid=18212120 "We've done some testing with semi-pro cyclists, and the conclusion we've come to is that the typical in-shape hyu-mohn can sustain a 1/10 hp output for a pretty long duration - that's about 75 watts. Peak output may reach 1/4 hp for short bursts - just short of 200W. If you've got access to a stationary bike at the gym, there's usually a display mode that'll show power in watts. 200W is a huge load."
http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=224812&cid=18205098 "I see what you and the other fellow are saying. I remember that in Expo 86, there was a claptraption, where people would sit on stationary bikes, and pedal away, to light up some light bulbs. It took much effort. I'm sure that the system could have been made more efficient with flourescent lamps, and better gearing."
And from my experience, 200W is pretty high for the average person that I know. I'm thinking 150W sustatined is probably more realistic for average weekend riders.
I think 1 hr is a better measure than 100 miles, since I don't think people will sit on an exercise bike for 5 hours.
Also I think the bike is probably going to be the most efficient transfer mechanism to generate power. Somehow I don't think you'll get the same efficiency on an elliptical or a treadmill..."

the amount of energy required for just lighting is not going to be recovered from the equipment.
to agree to allow me to teach them binary math first.. I wanted to teach them how to count to 1023 on their fingers (4, 128, and 132 are a scream) I gotta lotta hell no.. but imagine it-- if your kids intuitively knew binary-- or hex-- imagine the abilitys for a future programmer..

however, it's available for 24.04 USD (not the fifty alluded to in the article)

"it's not going to work."
the amount of energy required for just lighting is not going to be recovered from the equipment.
"but it was certainly justified."
My response-- MAYBE
the more important response- what elements made it more justified for Iraq than for North Korea
there is nothing that qualifies Iraq for invasion that you can't also apply to N. Korea, at greater levels of threat to the nation of the US..
