I wonder if this fuel cell would run entirely on sugar water? If so couldnt you scale it up to a large scale power plant and run it with sugar water? Then again I don't know if the net output would exceed the electricity needed to run the pumps/harvest cane and whatnot? Interesting stuff, none the less.
I wonder what kind of dollar amount slashdot accures in reduced productivity? Seriously, how many people read/. daily if not excessively. Hmm it boggles the mind could make this figure look like chump change.
Even at that that kind of filtering software can really only work on the machine itself, unless texas will require people to install the filter on their laptop/pc before they can use the wireless ap, it is useless. I think the only kind of filtering they can do is filter known porn sites from mabye their DNS files. But that is easily overcome (ha!) by going to google and telling google to translate the english porno site into english and then it looks to the router and filtering software that the information is coming from google and pow you have yourself some unfiltered porn on the gov't bandwidth.
I don't really know many truckers that would want to be protected from pornography! Mabye the campers but camping gets boring to me as i'm not an outdoors person, so a little porn would make it more intersting I suppose.
one would wonder how hardcoded into the OS the limits such as 3 applications and max ram and HD are, and how much of an effort it would take a decent programmer to crack it?
This is true, I personally have worked for wal-mart. They are easy as pie to rip off if you work there long enough, but anyways back to the point. The number along with the bar code at the bottom of the label is unique for every transaction. The return process involves scanning that bar code or typing in the numbers, then the register has a complete list of the items in the transaction, how it was tendered, any price corrections made at the register, any errors corrected everything. If you were to scan an item that wasn't on the original recipt and try to return the item, the register will tell you that it wasn't on the recipt. Now you can do a no recipt return, but they take down your drivers license number and you are limited to 3 per year. Even at that Non-recipt return are supposed to be returned in the form of a shopping card with the corner cut off so they can tell the shopping card was issued because of a non recipted return. However get a trainee and they won't know the difference, especially in the states like Iowa that require companies to return gift certificated to cash at the customers request. Or at last chance you could be like my girlfriend, loose the recipt and just dress in a miniskirt and a tight shirt and act dingy to the pimply faced associate.
On the whole most P2P applications have/had a legitimate legal use, and were only subject to illegal actions, by the actions of the users of them. I think bit torrent is an awesome idea, fundamentally, but its the warez monkeys that have made it look like and evil conspiracy to the lawyers. Not to say that I've never used it for that purpose, but I find it a more usefull tool for downloading legal things rather than downloading illegal things.
It is a centralized P2P file sharing protocol, whereas you download a torrent file, and it contains information about the file and more importantly the address of a tracker. All of the other people that have downloaded the complete file all connect to the tracker, these are known as seeders. The tracker tells your BT client who has the file you are requesting and what their address is. And besides you didn't try the obvious?
I was wondering if the 416 million lire was actually 293 USD or 293 Million USD. Hmm, I wonder how much a loaf of bread is. Wow millions of dollars for bread!
Does anyone else find it ironic and kinda funny that on the main page this story comes right after a story about the US cracking down on IP infringement. Just my 2 cents
BS I run Doom3 on a Athlon 2700 @ 2.33GHz, 1 Gig pc2700, with a PNY 5200 ultra, with the setting on high @ 800x600 and it runs fine, its really pretty and at about 30-35 fps. A 5200 is enough.
I live in Iowa, in a small town of about 1000(Runnells for Iowa folk) and I have nothing but satellite internet. The aforementioned wireless internet company doesn't serve here, btw they're called Prairie Inet. Mediacom cable doesn't come out here, actually their service ends about a mile outside of town, and Qwest DSL, hah! There are teleco boxes out here that the line technicians won't even open because they are afraid they will fall apart. I would kill for 11b access to some sort of high speed internet. I live about 15 miles southeast of Des Moines(Capital city) and as stated before there is nothing faster than 53 kbps.
Perfect example, DMX in his last movie(Cradle 2 the Grave, IIRC, i may be wrong) he wanted to use his own music in it and his record label(DOn't recall who) wouldn't let him, so he basically told them to f*ck themselves. Check it out here
