  1. Re:Energy density? on Fuel Cells From Nanomaterials Made From Human Urine · · Score: 1

    Oops! Forgot to edit start of second sentence out.

  2. Energy density? on Fuel Cells From Nanomaterials Made From Human Urine · · Score: 1

    So the material is made porous by heating and removing salt particles. Nice! There can't be much material left after drying though, I'm curious how much the energy density of said yield would be. I did spin through the paper, I noticed the 300-400mg/L yield but not the energy density, did anyone else catch it amongst the jargon?

    I'm pretty sure the legality of this in use on the road using animations or any colour other than red is questionable at best.

    Why??? Why do you have to cut off support? If it costs nothing to maintain (in the grand scheme of things i imagine this is close to that) then why does it have to be cut off? It needs no maintenance, it needs nothing! So, please give us ONE good reason. WHY???

    Like what exactly? They don't have anti-lock or traction control. Yes they have KERS & DRS but that isn't an aid at all. Care to clarify?

  10. Re:As good as it gets? on Atlanta Man Shatters Coast-to-Coast Driving Record, Averaging 98MPH · · Score: 1

    Sorry, of course german traffic is on the right too! Not sure how I didn't realise what I was typing. But my original question and point still remain.

  11. Re:As good as it gets? on Atlanta Man Shatters Coast-to-Coast Driving Record, Averaging 98MPH · · Score: 1

    Not that I disagree with you, but where did you read that it was directly modelled on the Autobahn?

    I found this in wiki.

    "Eisenhower gained an appreciation of the Reichsautobahn system, the first "national" implementation of modern Germany's Autobahn network as a necessary component of a national defense system while he was serving as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II.[9] He recognized that the proposed system would also provide key ground transport routes for military supplies and troop deployments in case of an emergency or foreign invasion."

    Nothing in there says that anything to do with the Federal Insterstate system was modelled on the Autobahn, simply that it was recognised as a good thing by Eisenhower. This would indicate that the Interstate system, on which everyone drives in the right, has absolutely nothing to do with the Autobahn, on which everyone drives on the left.

  15. Re:meh. on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    Yeah I can't argue with that but it was more an opinion rather than an argument. I guess there are a lot of ways to look at it. I'm not disputing that it's shit but what's the alternative?

  16. meh. on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    I hate police at the best of times BUT I hate distracted drivers a LOT more! Yeah he's being lazy, taking advantage of a situation to get the tickets in but if it saves even ONE life, it's worth it. If you're using a phone as a GPS then it should be mounted in a holster or something so it is dedicated at the time. Got a text? Tough shit.

  21. Re:Guys a Legend on How One Man Turns Annoying Cold Calls Into Cash · · Score: 1

    They didn't tell you who he registered with either. I know who it is (2 mins google), but they only told you who the regulatory body are. I'm very tempted myself as we are TPS registered and still get 30+ calls a week. We're into the very bad habit of just ignoring the phone unless we're expecting a call. I have missed countless calls because of this and registering a premium number would be a double win.

  23. Re:and why not? on How One Man Turns Annoying Cold Calls Into Cash · · Score: 1

    But it's still a higher rate number. Do you have to advertise the raised price? Or does the fact that it begins with "0844" denote that it's a special rate number? Seems there's not a lot if difference between the two.

  24. Re:and why not? on How One Man Turns Annoying Cold Calls Into Cash · · Score: 1

    Where?? Because I see premium rates all the time and rarely if ever is there an accompanied price structure. Also, what exactly constitutes as a 'Premium Rate' number? I see on the Phone Pay Plus site that 0871, 0872, 0873 are and 090 but that a very small piece of the pie. Are 0844 numbers premium? If so the Maplin is in violation, and their number certainly charges more!

  25. TITLE FAIL on Unlocked Firefox OS ZTE Open Is Now Available On eBay For For $80 · · Score: 1

    I read "Unlocked Firefox OS ZTE Open Is Now Available On EBay For For $80" and scrambled to get on ebay to get one! 5 mins of frantic searching, nothing. Come back to the article, tucked in right at the end ; "ZTE didn't mention when exactly the device will go on sale on eBay, the company just mentioning 'soon'." So it's not actually available at all then? Slack slashdot, slack!
