The point is to store energy, not generate it. There's no easy way to store energy available! We make use of what nature stored for us, but that free ride is nearing to an end; what we have here is a small but important contribution to fixing this problem.
Of course, that's obvious and not the point. The point is whether the whole idea is worth pursuing. There's a extremely high density battery (read liquid fuels) crisis coming in the next decade or two and inventions like this will help to cushion the fall; question is by how much.
Everybody should read one book about rocket propellants: Ignition! by John D. Clark. Apart from it being a good (and hilarious at times) read, it'll also show you why this project will most likely end up being a waste of money.
It's dark, it's gritty, and yet it's redeeming, portrays all the characters as more than one dimensional stock, and manages to include philosophical critiques of the world, religion, philosophy, economics, emotion, and fanaticism of all stripes without breaking stride or tone. It's the only series that has made me care about a couple of villains as well as the heroes. It is simply amazing. Just be warned: to start the series you're going to have to slog through approximately half of "Gardens of the Moon" before you start getting it. Once you do though, you'll be hooked.
if you replace "Gardens of the Moon" with "A Game of Thrones", you get a very good description of a song of fire and ice. which is not at all a bad thing, mind you.
honestly, there aren't many good guys in the series... and there aren't many purely bad guys, either. mostly it's just people working towards their best interest using more or less shady means.
76fps on a 2.5GHz Core2 isn't impressive TBH, and they say decryption is 7x slower (which means ~15fps). Optimizations will help, but until they figure out how to make it at least 60fps, it's really not feasible.
Julian Assange suffers from paranoia and there's a certain look in his eyes that warrants punching him in the face, but I for the life of me can't see any difference between any newspaper and Wikileaks. Well, perhaps there's one: Wikileaks doesn't attach opinions to its source materials.

Postgres might carry you further than you imagine with hstore and json extensions. I'd also try Riak if you really want NoSQL.
try reading the review first.
oh wait, forgot this is slashdot. carry on.
bollocks. what's the difference between 2560x1600 and 2560x1920? please don't say you can't put two windows side by side on the latter.
it was a horror on XP. nowadays i don't even notice it apart from the occasional "reboot me" window.

I highly doubt Mercs G average used/max power ratio is higher than 10%.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of Soviet Natalie Portman.
more like penal colonies...

FYI: already the case in 11.04
that's only because facebook never allowed google their contacts in the first place.
i think i like b00b1e5 more.

I've seen it two days ago and I can't recommend it, to put it mildly.
he was flat-out already, so no problem here.
+1, disapointed
if you're living on the equator.
never had to make a vpn between two companies, right? things like vnc repeaters wouldn't be needed anymore.

back then, the runtime environment on a lisp machine was pretty much the kernel.
a good, free, x64 c/c++ compiler doesn't exists on windows. gcc is getting there, but it's still not the thing yet.
mod parent up! also, use a nightly build for extra x264 goodness.
