You can do the same thing with two springs that always want to expand. You can put them both in a vice and they are exerting force on each other just like your magnet example. Does this mean the springs are generating energy? Obviously not.
I personnaly dont think it's possible to create a motor with only magnets as a power source. It's like making a machine with springs that act on other springs and the whole thing just power itself. Doesnt work.
Boiling break fluid causes the pressure to decrease dramatically, not increase. If you drive down a mountain while riding the breaks, the break fluid will boil. Brakes aren't based on a closed system. The cap on the brake reservoir will automatically release any excess break fluid or pressure and it will simply overflow.
When the overheated fluid is applied to the caliper, highly compresseble bubbles form from boiling and begin their trip to the resevoir (the highest point in the system). You apply more pressure, and simply more fluid is boiled and more bubbles are created. System volume may briefly increase but pressure will never build up in the system because the cap will vent the excess compressed gas and excess fluid automatically.
I supposed if you welded that cap air tight, then your theory will work, but in real life application it wont.
!They would RATHER break the device than use that knob that nobody's trained them how and when and why they should turn.

I think the reason most people don't want to push new buttons is b/c fear of breaking the device, or having it blow up in their faces. Don't think this is just limited to technophobes - how many sys admins out there are afraid to apply patches in fear that it will cause a database or other server malfunction?
It is true that GPS is receive only. However, digital phones send out data packets for SMS, audio data and just about everything else, so it's a piece of cake to engineer them to send a packet to the provider containing the received GPS data.
My cell phone sends out it's min/esn every 5 minutes. I know so because i can hear it on stereo. If it is possible to send a signal to make the cell phone send out its # on command, then you could just use that information to dial the number.
The system could be setup to only allow specific MAC addresses to connect, so a lost/stolen handheld could easily be denied access. Although it's not foolproof, it will fool the average joe.
Hell, the system can be setup up to alert the cops at the station when he tries to use his stolen unit as well.
They are hardly obsolete, businesses that need carbon copys and have thousands of pages of automated reports printed out every day still buy & use them. But for home use, maybe they are a little dated.
That might be manageable for the/. crowd, but it's light years beyond what the average user can figure out. It's stuff like this that linux has to work on before it can be a desktop replacement for windows.
I don't think cameras would work at all. This is because of the huge complexity required to create software that can make sense of what road looks like, stop signs, componsate for motion and a hundred other things. It's hard enough to get these things to recognize faces.
Radar would work a lot better. All you really care about is whether there is something in front of the car or not. The rest of the data can be extrapalated from GPS + an internal map.
That would get you disqualified just like the lawnmower idea because they are seeking intelligent control. I woulldn't consider GPS to be external communication, since it's only receiving and not sending. More like listening in.
This is assuming the balance is actually kept on the card. The card may just contain a primary key linking to database, and hopefully a good enough algorithem is used to generate the numbers so random numbers won't be successful most of the time.
Ever heard of a vibrate feature? They can contact you, and if you don't want to pick it up well nobody the wiser. Someone earlier mentioned something about this new fangled power button thing as well, which could be useful during, say, a funeral.
Imagine looking for a job and applying at a dozen places. I wouldn't want to be trapped at home waiting for the landline phone to ring, when i can just publish my cell number, and free my self to do whatever i want while waiting for that important call.
Beaten what though? Thats what my point was. The slashdot title claims "the net" speed record, while the article talked about another network altogether.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say it has set a new record in a speed/distance ratio, because it would be unfair to compare the performance of a private net to a public one.
I think you have a solid point. Could Ihook up 6 PCs with 1000mb ehternet (or someething like that), call it internet 3, and thus set a new official speed record for the old school internet because both use tcp/ip? I dont think so.
Unless they can figure out a way to send data that fast over public internet, the speed record accomplishes simply states what some organizations with lots of money to install private data lines could do.
why would the Jews survive and nobody else? That seems racist to me, espicially when you list them next to degrading uniforms and rust buckets.

The foam insulation was estimated to hit the wing at 600mph. It was only 2 pounds but if you can imagine what a basketball will do to your face at that kind of speed its understandable how it could have caused damage.

Who in the world still finds that funny? Parent should be modded (-1, Cliche), beowulf on /. is almost as bad as ackbar on fark.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of them!
It sounds like yet another reason to stay away from compaq.

How did the computer fry your phone?? Did it send a power surge through the modem?
