By "inefficient," I meant that solar cells have to run for something like 10 or 20 years before they generate the energy that was used in making them. Therefore, if you have another energy source nearby, it is a far better idea to use it.
Who's got an explanation for the lay on how these could elude the body's natural immune system?
Simple.
It uses reverse tachyon transcriptase to bipolarize the antibodies. Once the body is cancer-free, the doctors must simply use a modulated graviton beam to hyperstimulate the immune system, thus ridding the body of the modified cold and restoring the immune system to normal activity levels.
Seriously, though, moving nuclear waste off-planet is idiotic. The cost to get it into space is beyond prohibitive, and the chances of it being on a rocket that explodes on liftoff and spreads the waste everywhere is infinitely greater than the chances of terrestrial waste disposal causing harm.
The best nuclear waste plan is to reprocess it for nuclides helpful to industry and medicine and for nuclear fuel and then to convert it to borosilicate glass, which is very highly stable, and bury it in Yucca Mountain.
And solar anything is way to inefficient for any normal energy generation (remote locations excepted, perhaps).
But then again, the comment may be a troll, so I shall say no more.
If any of you were wondering about "The 1-inch HDD developed by the US affiliate of Hitachi Ltd," that is the same as (what was) the IBM MicroDrive. IBM's hard drive section was purchased by Hitachi.
Also, it says that the Hitachi 1" hard drive was "released in November," but I know that the IBM MicroDrives have been around a lot longer than that. Maybe it's just that they shrunk a little and grew in capacity.
Yeah, I would really like to try to play games or do anything at night - holding a flashlight in one hand!
Seriously, uniform lighting and color are a necessity for a decent display (at least in terms of laptops). There is no way you would get one from a paper-white display.
The ipodbattery.com states that their battery has an energy capacity of 1200 mAh, but the Panasonic battery from DigiKey has a capacity of 900 mAh. Although it's more cost-efficient than the ipodbattery one, you are losing 25% of its battery life.
One of the earlier "nuclear" test engines was this puppy, the nuclear thermal rocket. If you have seen a video of it when it was being tested, you would know that that thing is one mighty beast. The soviets also attempted to design one (both the Soviet and the American versions had the purpose of getting people to mars) which looks a lot cooler. I would love to have a model of that sitting on my desk.:)
Anyway, this nuclear propulsion is somewhat related to the newer Xenon method albeit with lower specific impulse but much higher acceleration.
Correct; I was going to say something to that effect (I chose not to for fear of having the post modded down, in which case no one would hear a response like this). Do you read Anti-Slash?
...then he has a pretty overinflated opinion of himself. He's like, "oh, I took a bunch of math and physics courses, but I forgot to my humanities!" He tries to romanticize "the life of a mob hacker," but he fails it.
Look at it carefully, and it won't look like some stealthy hacker but some dropout loser nerd.

Well, we must not forget the Golden Rule:
"He who Smelt it, Dealt it."
Sounds like a good reason to have a moon base.

Two words: Off Topic.
Maybe one hyphenated word.

Only in a vaccum (or other frictionless environment) according to
I[phone] * omega[phone]=I[platter] * omega[platter]
With friction, the angular acceleration of the phone would be zero thanks to static friction.

...then you can make the movie yourself. ;)
That is exactly the reaction that they want.
If by "heal" you mean "kill," then yes.
Are you proposing a mutiny? :P
Yeah, it's a shame that it's near-impossible to find rare classical pieces nowadays.

Not to mention a few hundred million fewer paying customers.
Tell me, is that a good business model?
And to go with that ASCII art logo, how about a nice ASCII goatse picture?
What, it's been done?
Oh.
But I bet it hasn't been done in color... maybe that will give the trolls something to aspire to. And I don't mean pipe the picture through libcaca!
Not to mention most of the newer, high-end Sony Clie handhelds.
Maybe he's just been believing the propaganda that the RIAA's been putting out about it being dedicated to the artists...
;)
Artists are only part of that. Other parts of it are CEOs, lawyers, etc.

Look on the bottom of your computer (or near your computer's serial number).
Does it say "Made in China"?
That's likely your problem.
If anyone wants to hear that in English, it sounds like they're saying that the MPAA- and RIAA- bots don't count as SPAM.
Too bad.
Didn't you read the line under the title?
:D
