it can become the receiver for either though. which means all you really need to do is to setup multiple antenna's that can be lengthened/shortened as needed.
Now there's an experiment that needs more research. how do design an "modular" antenna so that you can change which frequencies are received/transmitted allowing for a truly broad spectrum operations.
even if all that was true, there is still one problem.
you can't store electricity. it is an on demand only product. so when the sun went down your electric car still wouldn't work.
In the end the real break through for electricity won't be fancy solar cells, or something with magnets, a 10KVA mega capacitor that can let out a little current or a lot and be recharged by the out put of your solar / wind/ tidal/ nuclear/ bicycle, etc. 3-5 of them could run a house for a couple of days, and that would relive stress on the grid.
until we can decently store huge amounts of electricity readily we are going to need a cord, or some form of chemical conversation(gas/fuel cell/battery) that isn't going to be very useful.
I really hate to defend the government against you but What is the difference between bob down the street stealing your stereo, and marie across the street stealing your bank account?
One is easier to protect againist than the other. the second one only requires one to fake certain information that is forced by companies to be given out regularlly.
for the record national ID system will fail again. I will cheer loudly.
Have you ever used Flash on a non windows computer?
It makes sucking donkey balls down the intertubes with one cup providing lubricant taste good.
Flash(yes even the supposedly hardware accelerated version) takes my mac book from 6 hours of surfing off the battery to 2 hours. I watch a whole core on my core dou system grind at 70% usage over and over again.
Flash on android is just that bad too. Not only do you not get full flash api(lots of things aren't there at all just the most common for video and websites) but you can watch your phone drop like AT&T drops calls.
Steve jobs may be a control freak, but it is one stance that I agree with. Flash must DIE!!!!!
#3, works both ways my cell is my only phone. then again I could use one the picocells inside my house, which are automatically limited to certian phones.
therefore my phone will work just fin but everyone else would lose theirs.
For most products there is a Manufacturers listed retail price. This price is almost always obscenely high. Like 2-3 times what the market will actually buy the product or sometimes 100 times higher.
manufacturerers then give a retail/wholesale cost to retailers. who markup the product to cover their own expenses, etc.
the trick is if you ever see a manufacturers suggested price being displayed with a deep discount, just walk away. it means they are screwing you and not bothering to kiss you first.
It doesn't matter it is fake3D. my eyes won't focus on the fake focal depths, it doesn't even register them.
I can see depth just fine, but my eyese don't focus or percieve depth the same ways yours do and such Avatar in 3D looked just like any other movie. Those beautiful scenic shots weren't any different from the beautiful scenic shots in Lord of the Rings.
You can't fix the dimness by shooting it faster. the dimness is directly caused by the polarization of the sunglasses you have to wear in order to view said images. All you can do is increase brightness to push through the glasses the correct colors/levels.
Motion blur isn't an issue, I can't see any motion as the actual focal depth CAN'T ever actually change. so i don't see the depth, which means I don't see it at ALL.
defective by design. 3D graphic effects on a 2D plane is easy as you can control the perspective. 3D effects trying to be faked on a2D plane will only ever work for the percentage of people you design it for.
Remember those magic pictures, which if you stared long enough you could see the "real" image. something like 30% of the population couldn't see the images. your fake3D is trying to do the exact same thing.
No i am just getting tired of people going ooh ahh it is so awesome when in reality it means that 45 million americans will never see one of those effects.
We aren't all the same, eyes are slightly different widths, focusing works slightly differently, etc, etc.
they can't fix current 3D tech no matter how hard they try because your looking at a 2D surface and trying to resolve a physical depth for something that isn't there. So the focal point won't shift right and people won't like it.
To me Avatar and Tron legacy in 3D looked like a dim, wrong color tinted version of the 2D movies I watched later. I saw nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary.
i will still get headaches while watching and I will still not see a single special 3D effect. the movie will appear dim or over saturated trying to correct the color balance caused by wearing sunglasses indoors against a dark room.
There are some things you just can't fix as they are broken by design. Fake3D is one of them. Please Hollywood give it up, and just dump the money into hologram research.
I can name a half a dozen specialized business programs that only only assume admin, but also assume the win16 subsystem is present.
I hate that software but I am forced to use it in order to do business with said companies. Since it works they won't spend money to upgrade it.
Just remember businesses are always 10 years tech wise behind the cutting edge, unless forced not to be. It is one of the few reasons why i like apple dropping obsolete api's every 3-4 releases.
I can't. I have several pieces of.NET software that not only require admin rights, but require one to boot into safe mode to install it, as the installer needs to bypass a bunch of other security precautions.
This is random third party software made by one of our distributors to access a specialized product database. It shouldn't need such things. but try doing it without it and it causes all sorts of problems.
So i can't fix it, and they don't bother because they are a multi-billion dollar company and don't care.
that's the real trick, if Windows had and enforced proper user/system separation then companies could lock down the systems that would limit that crap.
Windows and it's applications assume you have full admin rights all the time. UAC while bad was a good step MSFT should have just pressed harder program developers to code properly, and forced all XP programs into a hard lock down mode.
breaking easy backward compatiblity in the name of security isn't a bad thing.
put it into perspective will you. to replace all four permanently damaged reactors at fukishma japan will need to replace roughly 3,000MW of generating capacity.
Wind turbines are roughly 25% efficient in the real world. that means on average a standard 5 MW turbine is really only good for 1.25 MW.
which means to replace the 4 reactors you need roughly 2,500 5 MW wind turbines. or three times the size of the worlds largest wind farm built to date which covers nearly 400km2 of used land area.
to replace just 4 nuclear power plants you literally need an area roughly the half size of rhode island.
AT&T's wireless ads are a prime example. "We cover 97% of Americans" However that means AT&T thinks that 10 million people aren't worth having as customers.
Sadly Verizon isn't any better on the national scale. So many places where both of them drop to speeds barely able for phone calls only miles from the interstates.
um they aren't shooting missiles they are shooting a laser, an d what chaff does is to create a second radar target behind the first one to enable premature detonation.
You can't send chaff out in front of you , and if you toss it to the side they will simply adjust the aim to the second target.
Chaff is only good when your running away from something. When your running towards it chaff isn't good as the second target is behind you and the missile or laser has to go through you to get to it.

a contaminated food supply? poor filtration in the drinking water?If it is a long voyage tehn growing your own food also comes with it's own problems.
while your quite correct in theory, one must remember that if your average your still and idiot to begin with.
the "average" person isn't smart enough to understand the difference in words like redaction , deletion and blackout.
which is fine because in the USA, not even all banks will accept foreign currency exchanges let alone stores.
though if you look carefully, Canadian coins are all over the place.
screwing users over with Vista is like screwing over users with windows ME.
if you feel guilty you should go see a shrink. If they complain they should go see one.
It can't grow bluetooth, or gps, yet.

you choose to run GCC when and where you like. you don't always have that option with flash.
Also you can force GCC to use less CPU and take longer to compile.
you can't control what flash designers are going to do(yes designers they are about as much a programmer as VB)
so you have Zero control over how much CPU a given flash ad will use.
considering that every moon astronaut trained in the desert it just might.
I really hate to defend the government against you but What is the difference between bob down the street stealing your stereo, and marie across the street stealing your bank account?

ah but to adjust flash settings themselves you have to go to adobe.com and run the correct flash program that will change settings for you.

if you can't compete then the free market is working.
you can't be capitalistic and complain about cheap foriegn labor. that's is being a hypocrite

Yes and no. one must remember something like 60% of the population of the USA lives on the eastern seaboard.
That said, while I am not surprised I really wished one of them was heading to europe to show them that reaching for the stars is possible.
