The capacitors that EEStor is to deliver to electric car manufacturers aren't electrolytic capacitors. They're similar to ceramic capacitors, as they use barium titanate, aluminum and glass. So there's no fluid inside them to leak out and they have a much longer life span.
Its been delayed only 4 months, I don't know what all the drama is for. In fact, this extra development time is going to be very beneficial, because they are going to release a full beta at WWDC for developers.
I'm in Canada, Northern Ontario in a town of 13,000 people nearest city is 200km away. I have cable broadband 5Mbps Down 512kbps up, no limits for $32.99 Canadian (about $25 USD). I can regularily get download speeds of 500 kb/sec and can upload at about 55 kb/sec. Their service has been top notch. they're at: www.ontera.net
Here in my small norther ontario town of 13000 people i get cable internet access for only $24.95 CAN per month, thats about $19 US ! i get 2GB traffic per month and regularly get 300 KB/s download speeds and 120 KB/s upload (thats KiloBYTES). Could this be because in my small town there are 3 competing companies? (ONLink, ViaNet,Persona Cable and Bell Sympatico)
I thought there was a 3rd kind where the features have been completely ripped out and you actually have to buy the product. Not just the key.
And in the case of games they would just give you the first few levels.
This project couldn't possibly cost that much, most of the IC's used you could probably find for free. The only real cost would be having your circuit boards etched.
I like reading about schools that use alternatives. I remember when my old school had a Netware system running, it was great and extremely fast. However when the school "Upgraded" to Windows NT. Everything was downhill from there login times ranging from 2-10 minutes and wonderfully anoying crashes which meant that students had to share computers even though there were enough PCs.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Catweasel disk controller yet. http://www.jschoenfeld.com/products/catweasel_e.htm Its a hard to find board since its done in limited production runs.
I remember this game. It was put out by the discovery channel just as CD-ROMs were starting to be included with computers. It was quite fun.

Does anyone know what that music was in the background of those commodore commercials?
The Amiga 500 you are referring too was release 3 years after the Macintosh in 1987. Hardly the exact same time.

Another news item about SCO, I think /. needs a new section.

The kind of people that read Wired would never be able to understand the code!
I don't think its that kind of language.
Funny. Not as many references to the burnt genitals story as I thought there would be.
Nothing beats slave labour.

This is more of "Your Rights In General" than online.
Wow! Linux was designed by IBM!
