Whilst Im sure you put in alot of effort and should be commended, claiming "fully functional" whilst admitting that something *isn't* functional seems like asking for trouble.
"Almost fully functional" would have gotten you almost as much credit without the hastle.
The problem is - you need a tight, stiff glove to prevent the hand from swelling. Once you build that, you realise that you cant bend your fingers anymore....
A phase change air conditioner doesnt "create" energy - it merely moves it around. It's like a 10000L petrol tanker only needing 100L of fuel to drive around.
The process for air conditioners is that cooling might be around 300% efficient (you pump 3 times the energy you consume), and heating is around 400% efficient (you pump 3 times, plus the consumed energy adds to the heat load).
Here in Australia many of the states have DST, making it light until 9:00 - 9:30pm at night during summer! What is the need for this?
Im in Western Australia and we thankfully dont have DST. It works fine.
If you need a special clock to tell you when you can stay outside longer, then you've got bigger problems than "saving daylight" - you'd better start looking after your few remaining braincells.
Not really. People will just buy a cheap DVB set-top-box. Here in Australia we have a similar deadline looming and standard definition STB's are gettting down to A$70 (around US$50).
It's the high definition decoders that are annoyingly expensive, and it's not worth going to standard definition prematurely as there is no clear benefit.
As far as I was aware, the speed limit on open roads is largely dictated by visibility/braking distance, not the actual performance/handling of the car. If there's an issue, drivers need enough time to react.
Because you are probably behind a NAT router, which generally acts *like* a firewall - ie it allows outbound traffic and inbound responses, but not unsolicited inbound connctions.
It is the inbound connections from worms that cause the problems. NAT solves that unintentionally.
You let some of the liquid hydrogen evaporate (called boil off gas) - that draws thermal energy from the remaining liquid like an evaporative cooler. You can then consume that boil off gas in your turbines/fuel cell/whatever.
If you use a rack properly (fill it and seal it), then the fronts (or bottoms) can be fed with cool air and the back (or top) exhausted. I have some customers that specially modified their racks to achieve this.
And add to that, they only know the location at which they picked up the signal, not the actual location of the Access Point. This could be hundreds of metres apart.
1) Try the numbers again per passenger death - it might come out closer.
2) Multiply the allowable risk factor on shuttle mission by 10. I mean, this is bleeding edge frontier stuff - a certain amount of additional risk has to be accepted.

best. doom3. quote. ever.
Did you read the summary?
" The astronaut extended his gloved hand and quickly removed the first fiber strip"
meh.
hahahahaha...... hahahahahaha.... hehe
It's funny because it's true.

DC is far better at transferring power.
1) You get improved conduictivity due to no skin effect
2) You dont have eddy losses.
As the other poster mentioned, it's just harder to convert voltages with DC, but we are getting better at it.

I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subsribe to your magazine.
What I dont understand is that they "save daylight" during summer, when there's an abundance of extra sun. I dont see the point.
It would be more practical during winter when it gets dark so early that people cant play outdoor sports etc (assuming its not too cold).
Yeah, I agree.

Personally I would have used cheap non PoE edge switches and installed a separate PoE injection patch panel.
Not on Mars it wouldnt. Because the atmosphere is so thin, the wind pressure at 70mph is much, much lower.
Easy solution - put bore water spray booms on the windmill blades and solve rising salinity at the same time.

According to the NIMBY's, the low frequency (infrasound) noise, even though barely audible, plays havoc - eg disrupts sleep.
I dont know if it is true or not - it's just what I've heard.

Easy.

This method is commonly used on LPG tankers.

You're new to /. arent you? I dont think you'll get much sympathy here.
How about you:
1) Dont send out unpermitted materials; or
2) Dont send out anything. We don't want your spam anyway.
And add to that, they only know the location at which they picked up the signal, not the actual location of the Access Point. This could be hundreds of metres apart.
They didnt say that all metal glasses were transparent, just that they were glass. Sorry to burst your bubble.
With a new year every two days, everyone would be broke buying birthday cakes.
