Call me when a supercap has anything like the energy density - by any measure of cubic or weight - as a battery. Till then, they have only niche uses. I've seen various supercap articles that were about tech that was "About to change the world" for how many decades now? OK, sooner or later, they might...I'm still waiting, and I ain't gonna live for as many more decades as I've already been waiting. Till then, I'll drive my Volt.
DCFusor, you forgot one thing to be informative.
The article states their power density around 13wh/kg in one of their diagrams. While l-ion batteries are up to 1500 wh/kg (common ones are however much less often around 500 wh/kg)
I think the answer is, that the payload is a command and control utility. That way, the people who deployed it can use it at any / from any location, which is infected.
It could be used to escalate privileges on the local computer or many more useful things, and would reduce the need to be tied. Sure similar things have been achieved in different ways, this is just speculation
I was merely enjoying the retardness of the situation: Al says Betty must be forbidden ! Betty says Al must be forbidden ! Carol realizes, they're both retarded for stating those things.
what bothers me even more, is that the now picture for the little dipper, isn't even remotely near how it looks outside my window. also she writes it won't be a dipper, which is wrong, it's just that two of the stars change roles.
As far as i remember, homo sapiens is about 200.000 years old. Even assumnig that the technology was no problem, I wonder if we would survive such a trip, both on earth and on the ship, and how different we'd be when we arrived. I think it would be fair to assume, that those in the ship evolved quite differently than those on the planet.
I've lost out of more or less a generation of games. I stopped pirating after in my last year of uni, then realized that the drm was too intrusive. I'm stuck playing civ 4 (all expansions, all paid) and a few steam-games, like defcon, some hl-mods and portal.
DRM has basically been a wedge against cultural proliferation, and as such it sucks much more. I almost cry, when I realize that there are games, that I would love to play, but I just will not install them on my computer, due to digital rights management. Bioshock, spore, assasins creed 2, company of heroes, silent hunter 5 and many many more.
DRM is the reason i buy music anymore, i got a sony-infected cd and apparently hadn't turned off auto-play after adding a new dvd-drive.
the people who do install this fit the description:
Bunch of cocksuckers ramming their shit up our asses.
Because they deprive the world of cultural enrichment. They do so without regards to the fact that promoting cultural enrichment is the very reason they have copyright in the first place.
Seriously dude.... It's wipEout It doesn't lack any turtle shells, it lacks shields, turbo boosts, mines, shock waves, rockets or homing missiles also the craft isn't an odd triangularish shape
Can someone please post a more direct link? (or possibly just the ascii) aren't we all tired of looking for the article in a link in the article in a link in the article in a...
Wonderful how only the workers need ID-card. Maybe Benito Mussolini was on to something with the comparisons between corporatism and fascism, now you'll find out in USA.
That's what happens when you convert from metric to imperial, round up, then convert back to metric. It is shoddy journalism and very poor of the submitter not to catch it when copy pasting.
Parent is not a troll, Korbeau is merely stating the obvious.
The $49 price is not the real price, but the difference between doing it one way, and doing it a different way, both with HORRIBLE subscription prices by european standards.
Early termination fees are a JOKE, especially with a size like that. This whole story reeks of someone lacking their sense of judgement or deliberately ignoring it.
Yes, teH Nexus One is a nice phone, but A: it's not that cheap B: it's not a jesus phone (neither was the iPhone) C: this is neither the first or second story about it these last few days.

Completely Obsolete Boring Old Language
The problem is that this will mean that they end up forcing critical infrastructure projects to rely on rot13 encryption.
Yes, but those are the Exception
what bothers me even more, is that the now picture for the little dipper, isn't even remotely near how it looks outside my window.

is clearly the year of the linux desktop commercial success
and this post was brought for you to test your sarcasm-meter!
Then they couldn't index it for advertisement, which is Google's business
as many will presumably say: See a lawyer.
While slashdot can give you eggcelent legal advice, It'll hit you in the face that you don't play dice with the important parts of your life.
So please mods, don't put redundant to the people who say "Get a lawyer"
as it is a wethack.
Being made from jellyfish just makes for even more bad jokes about wethacks.

It's funny, you have to choose between your favorite fallout...
*fallout
*fallout 2
*fallout tactics
They must realize that theres an omission (though of no consequence to my choice.
From Denmark i could sign up for the beta
Beer fundamentalists, like other fundamentalists, have less fun.
however, in ascii-art ASCII is an abbriviation of "Abnormal String of Characters Is the Image"
I tried and failed.

then you haven't read the damn article!
Get back to it!
It's not just a concept, they have a prototype too.
their test vehicle got 64 miles/gallon, that's around 27km/l
That's what happens when you convert from metric to imperial, round up, then convert back to metric.

Hi kDawson.
Sorry for top posting, but i thought this was relevant
the google groups leak

anyway. imo, parent is not a troll
In fact, they should've anticipated the increased traffic,
I think i'll have to submit their website for next year...
