Some interesting points there mate.
However, don't dismiss software zooming as being useless. The software zoom on most digital cameras take the picture, then software zoom, then convert the raw data into formats such as jpg.
If you were to just convert to jpg and use software to zoom, you would be zooming in on the artifacts of the jpeg compression. Therefore, software zooming can give you that little ooomf.
I'm ignoring the fact that some cameras don't compress the raw data though. In which case, just ignore me:p

I don't understand why people are fussing about the safety of using hydrogen. Hydrocarbon gas (ands its byproducts) can be just as dangerous.
I seriously doubt that something going comercial like this would have a high risk of danger.
I assume the hydrogen is being used to store the energy from the solar cells. This way, there is still a source of energy when the solar cells are not functioning (night, cloudy day)
However, i'm sure it would be more efficient, as you said, to use the electricity directly from the cells during the day.

i'm interested in knowing where you obtained a 62mb chip of ram from?

So the question remains. When will those bastard trees stop attenuating my wifi signal?
Average male height = 1.75m
Chinese Population = 1260000000
Mean distance to moon = 384400000m
Human tower to moon = 384400000 / 1.75 = 219657142.9 People
However, for a pyramid we will need ½(n^2) + ½n (n+n-1+n-2...+n-n)
Therefore number of people needed to make a pyramid to the moon = 24124630320000000
Since 24124630320000000 is more than 1260000000, you are clearly an idiot
LTSP stands for "Linux Terminal Server Project"
So why does the title read "...LTSP Project"?
That reads Linux Terminal Server Project Project

No wait... that's been done already

Anyway, stop knit picking and stay on topic
