    They are more like script kiddies, playing with buzzwords they do not understand, not even realizing how ridiculous they look. They wield potentially very destructive tools without understanding the consequences.

    Crap... If only I read this before I commented eariler... Sigh... I will try and mod you up in a different thread in compensation.

    Well, in his defense, most of us in Texas don't really associate ourselves with the US government much. Seriously, if you see a guy from Texas overseas, will he ever call himself an American, or will he call himself a Texan? (I always chose the latter) And if our politicians get too out of hand, and we don't want them in Texas any more, we send them to the white house to get them out of the Governors mansion. And I think we are about sick of Perry... Sorry.

    And a little dirt is no problem. A lot of dirt will cut the efficiency, so to get the same power you will need more panels.

  14. Re:Not a bad idea on Radio Energy Harvested With Inkjet-Printed Antenna · · Score: 1

    The power pulled out of the magic air space comes from somewhere, and is no longer going somewhere else. One power source will not make a difference. Just like one WiFi access point does not crowd out the spectrum. Have you looked around at how many networks you see? As more people use this, it will cast shadows behind it, shortening the range. The person providing service will have to crank up the power to overcome this, or provide serveice to less people.

    The smaller the sample group, the more intelligent the average in it, in all recent "technology vs. intelligence" studies. Can we just deduct that the less intelligent flow with the crowd, the more intelligent actually pick what's best for them, and call it quits?

    So they should show the IQ breakdown by operating system. Vista would be lowest. I think 7 and XP about equal... Mac slightly above. (Smaller group but those that like simple... Tough call) And Linux and BSD users are freaking brilliant!
