Considering the response being received for the X-Prize, it wouldn't be a bad idea for some wealthy guy to sponsor some Y-Prize for an extremely efficient, eco-friendly setup for generating power. Am damn sure the current hydel, thermal, fission, solar, wind sources can be made use of in other better ways than the current ones
The relation between SimCity and Microwave would definitely not be obvious, atleast for most/.ers here (like me who'd think it's not for grown ups like us. *ducks*) and having the title of the article linking NASA and Simcity would just be confusing to say the least. Had the article been without any references to simcity, some AC who would have posted a comment citing simcity would definitely have got modded troll. (People who actually know about it might consider it funny but not the majority)
Why is it that trolls are not always trolls but funny and insightful in some cases?!

Well I the '$' with 1111 seems to be canadian as the sub300.com for the american masses shows the price as $828. But still 1Ghz VIA processor, 256MB RAM, 40 Gig HD shouldn't be costing me $800

When it gets down to the final four players, we move to the large format dome screen where everybody gets to see who has the right stuff.
Does "everybody" include the players also or will they be supposed to be playing sitting in a cube with a normal display? If it does it'd be an advantage for some and disadvantage for some others depending on how well they can peep at the others' games.
But if it doesn't, Finalists on several of the games will duke it out for the championship on the museum's Giant Dome Screen [82 feet in diameter, and covering 12,000 square feet] and its 13,000 watt, 44 speaker sound system. from the post would be misleading i suppose
It's all about the software today, and I will buy a system on the basis of where the great games are.
Considering they were the ones, who had started with the idea that you can make money with software at a time when people thought that the real money's in hardware, I seriously doubt they would forget the fact.
Who knows!?! May be GTA5 is going to be an xbox2 exclusive.

Seriously, I'm skeptical of these specs, as MS's supposed objective is to lose LESS money per unit sold.
Seriously, if that's MS' strategy they wouldn't even plan XBOX2 so early. The risk of being this quick has already been a/. story a few days ago.
If MS is really planning to gain the first-mover-advantage, I am sure they'd be prepared to lose a *lot* more than XBOX is costing them now. What better combination than a super cool configuration + reasonable price can you find to get on to the top in the console wars?

Though not for getting power, in 1999 NASA seems to have left in space a disco ball with the discovery.
May be that ball's already reflecting back enough light that this microwave power seemed to be an overkill and they scrapped this project.

NASDA, NAtional Space Development Agency of Japan too had plans for harnessing energy through satellites.
Just hope that the NASA effect doesn't reflect upon NASDA

PCs will cost from $299 to $979, while laptops will sell for as low as $1,111.
Hell!! I would go buy a dell laptop for $800 and install linux on it.
Support!?! I don't need no support. what is the irc for anyway??

The complaint further charges that Dunaway later paid Smathers $100,000 for an updated version of AOL's customer list.
Huh!!
've been thinking all these days that only OS updates cost big money
What spam do you want to get today !?
Well not really an 'application', but it should be linux when it comes to the *real* consoles
XBox-Linux
PlayStation2-Linux
Which console do you want to use today?
is quite good as well with support for icq000, yahoo, aim, irc, msn, gadu-gadu and jabber

shows up The Unity and Gravity of an elemental Architecture in the first page.
Linking this guy with reference to gravity (if only the word) doesn't seem to be a co-incidence. May be Google's brain's evolving.
