    Not to rain on your parade, but there has been practical fission reactors for over 50 years.
    Fusion however is still not practical.

    Yes, near the black hole...

    Not to be nit-picking (wait, I _am_ nit-picking...) but liquid helium cannot be called frozen gold since it is per definition liquid, not frozen. Freezing gold qould be a better analogy ;()

  7. Re:slow? on Transgaming to Support Half Life 2 Under Linux · · Score: 1

    That could be because linux has much better disk-caching...

    Soyuz works fine for what it does, but it's an artificial limitation on the usefulness of the Station because it limits the number of occupants to three. A replacement for Soyuz is desirable, IMHO.
    No, It's not an artificial contraint on the number of personel on the space station. It just limits the number of people that can go to/from the station at any one time to three.

    It isn't, you can easily install k3b on Fedora Core and burn away.

  11. Re:exaust on Jet Engine on a Chip · · Score: 1

    Actually it is very easy to exclude the oxygen when you make hydrogen from water...
    The hydrogen is sp well behaved that it only bubbles up at one of your electrodes, and the oxygen bubbles up only at the other, I leave it as a trivial exercise to to the reader to construct a device that captures the 2 gasses without mixing them...

  12. Re:Cool, but misleading title on Jet Engine on a Chip · · Score: 1

    Depends on where you come from.
    Here in Sweden about 45% comes from hydro power, 31% from nuclear power and the rest is either gas, oil or imported where a large part of the imported power is from norway or finland which uses lot of hydro and nuclear power.

    I can agree to that ;)

  14. Re:None of you know. on Jacket Grown from Living Tissue · · Score: 1

    Your conclusion is right, although your reasoning is a bit flawed.

    McDonalds do in fact use meat from milk cows in their hamburgers. The reason is that because they do not have any additives to the meat (ie. the hamburger meat is pure meat) they have problems with the hamburger falling apart if they use regular cow meat (ie meat from young cows). Therefor they use meat from older cows (milk cows) which have tougher meat as a binder in their hamburger. Hance they can have hamburgers made of 100% cow meat without have the falling apart problem.

    >>Yep, in the UK it's illegal to sell most goods in Imperial weights and measures. (Some stupid European Union rule, which we're probably the only country to enforce). Probably because you are the only ones in the EU that doesn't already use the metric system...

  16. Re:Unknown Error In The Submission on Nuclear Batteries · · Score: 1

    I hope that you made a typo in your post and that it should say that the beta-particles traveled 21 micrometers in silicon as the article said, and not 21 meters that you posted. The article also mentions that you don't need to use nickel-63, that is a beta-emitter and also expensive, but that you can use for example tritum, which is a alpha-emitter and inexpensive.

    They probably wanted to check out the awsome hardware that were able to store 40 petabyte of data in an ordinary apartment without generating so much heat it would have set the building on fire...
    That kind of hardware must have been stolen from som government funded research lab...

    >If it is MS behind this, why don't they just concentrate on the lack of cohesive desktop, interoperable office suite, analyst confidence, financial, business-to-business, seriously supported messaging middleware and administration costs and ease-of-use arguments? There's plenty more mileage, FUD or otherwise in all of those areas.

    They have tried all those things, and they haven't worked?

    AMDs Opteron, and Athlon 64 supports NX, and I think some of the newer Pentium 4 do as well.
