Well, even if fuel cell cars become prevalent, there will still be several thousand gearheads out there, cruisin in their muscle cars and street rods. I think that the transition too a fuel cell vehicle will be in order to make them a daily driver, while Street Rodders and Hot Rodders can cruise on the weekends, setting off car alarms with their engine rumble.
Personally, I would pay for this. However, I would only pay up to about 3/4 of the price of the ticket I could receive if I was caught without the ticket. Second off, I think that if they implement this type of plan, they should look at making it into an electronic type device with a remote detector for installation into police vehicles. Maryland has a similar system which they use to asses tolls on bridges and tunnels.
Well, that is the angle that I think that more research needs to be devoted too. However, as far as the Infrastructure goes, that is already mostly deployed. Most gast stations could be converted to be able to supply hydrogen by replacing tanks and pumps with parts that could sustain higher pressures needed for storing hydrogen safely. After that, they need to improve the durability of the fuel cells.
I've been following the fuel cell development for a few years now, and have been shocked at the lifetime expectancy increases. However, I think that it's about time to stop working on making them go longer and worry about making them more stable and less expensive. Once they can get the price down to where they are as cost efficient as gasoline, and relatively safe and reliable, then they should start increasing the lifetime.
I first heard about this on an episode of the screensavers a couple years ago. Yoshi, the king of all Case Mods, built a case out of plexi and attached a resevoir which was filled with dry ice and an chemical of some sort from 3M. For cooling a PC with Liquid, that seems to be a much more viable, albeit expensive option than this. I don't have a link to Yoshi's mod, but a search on TechTV would turn one up.
Well, for once MS has finally gotten in WAY over their own head, at least they have if the text of this article is anywhere near accurate. However, if they are simply trying to increase the amount of relevant searches for msn users, then this will have no impact on google whatsoever. Personally, I have found that which search engine people use over a different engine is usually pretty centric to the person making the decision. I know plenty of people who turn their nose at google(and I have repeatedly smacked them in the back of the for it, too) in favor of Meta-Crawler(which refs. google, btw). So if they do it fine, but i don't see google going anywhere in my lifetime unless the internet itself goes away.
Here's the catch. Naturally occuring mutations are also known as Evolution. They do not occur in a single generation, and usually span many generations. That is how you get people from monkeys, sharks from the megalodon, and aligators from whatever they came from. In natural evolutionary process it is not that former species is dominated by the newer, but that it is less able to adapt to changing conditions. A species that eradicates a lesser do to an induced change, ie genetic engineering is tampering with a natural process. Another way to look at it is like this. People evolved from Apes/Monkeys, but there are still apes/monkeys around because they were able to adapt themselves to change without radical mutation.
Well, as far as their complaint goes, I feel that it is totally unjustified. This machine is only really taking out one aspect of their job, and that is of the home plate umpire to judge whether or not the pitch was in the strike zone or not. Everything else would stay the same. As far as the dirt kicking, umpire cursing goes, I think that this would be a good thing for that, because the strike zone would be a standard, and therefore the batter would know that the pitch was judged fairly and equivocably. I think it would be good for the game, as it would hopefully get rid of the batter-umpire arguments over whether or not the pitch was really a strike or not, and allow the players and umpires to focus on the game.
You got it. Genetic Modification thru Engineering is nothing more than a single generation evolution. However, the one thing that individuals who are against genetic modification cite is that a modified species which overruns a natural species completly is that the modified species did not have a chance to adapt to the new threat which they would have if the introduced change came about naturally. This is why current genetecists are looking at human evolution and some of the branches that didnt't survive, or integrated with the branches that did survive. This is also why they take measures to prevent the release of the modified species into the wild.
Well, this could be a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, if they could get some of the ideas to work out, such as pets that don't produce allergens, then that would make it possible for some individuals to own pets where it was not previously possible. On the other, this will incite riot among those wholly opposed to genetic engineering/modification. Personlly, I see this as a good thing, because I have known several people who have love cats and couldn't keep them for the fact that they were allergic. As far as the fish go, well the possibility of them being intermingled and breeding with natural populations is not very good, but I think that as long as steps are taken to prevent that from happening it is not really an issue. Personally, I wouldn't mind having a glow in the dark fish.
.. To figuring out what really happened at the start of the Universe, and from that, where the Universe is headed. This is some good stuff IMO, because by looking to the past, we can truly predict the future.
Therein lies the Catch. Microsoft doesn't go for a soft kill like that. They go for the throat, meaning that if someone important does something that microsoft wants, then it will be an opt-in law, not an opt-out. Besides, there are various opt-in laws that have gone up, but the ones that get all the coverage are the opt-out. TechTV's "The Screen Savers" had a story on this last year as I recall, but I couldn't find a link to the story.
Well, at any rate, Linux was Distro'd under GPL to keep anyone person from controlling the source for linux. The long and short of Linux as I get it kinda remains the same. Linus wanted it to get out, be modified, and have the changes redistributed to be changed again, Etc, Etc. Thanks to those for hooking me up on a GPL history.
Even though I really hate to say this, and am kicking my self in the ass as I write this.. I see it going like this.
We hate Spam
We hate Spammers
We hate Microsoft
We hate Spam and Spammers less than We hate Microsoft
We like Microsoft for sueing Spammers
The Hill takes note
Sueing Spammers is Unnecessary because They are Hunted like Animals by the Law
Microsoft did something good, after all
*Sighs* I Hate to say it, but this could be good.
Wow, I am amazed. Microsoft is Fighting the Good Fight! Maybe now people on the Hill will step up, take note, and finally get in gear about getting some anti-spam legislature.
Well, as I understand it, Linus created the GPL to get Linux out there, and make it available for people to look at it, make changes they would like to see, and distribute the changes. However, by making changes, you agree to make those changes public. While you receive credit for those changes, you do not necesarily own them. However, by making the linux kernal open source, Linus does not really retain any rights either. Essentially the Linux Kernel is really not owned by anyone individual or group.

Actually, lately I've Become a Mac Head.

But the scary part is that that statement is the absolute truth. Look at all the people that sign up for MSN, AOL, and own Windoze Boxes.
I also enjoy the NTN at a local Golf Course Club House.
I Currently Hold an Open Water Certification and enjoy diving. I am currently pursueing an Advanced License, and wish you the best of luck.
I also watch tons of Anime and Learn Tons of Japanese. Everyone Reading this should watch "Read or Die!"

nah, its simply my inability to preview the message, which in hindsight should not have been done using html.

Acording to IBM, they never sold anything but a license to anyone.
