I thought this was hydrogen, so I wonder: how long will it take before we are running out of water? Maybe there are other resources from which hydrogen can be extracted, but the same question remains: does this new technology increase the timespan of our use of energy?
I also think we should be able to store the surplus of released energy from fusion if we don't want to spoil it. This can be done by pumping water to a higher altitude, and lowering the water to get that energy back, but we're converting energy then to lower quality:-(.
Another point that raises is question is the needed temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius. How will that temperature be reached? I think we're still away from better than break-even:-s.
Sometimes I wish that articles were more detailed;-).
It's funny. In Belgium they are reducing the use of electricity generated by nuclear plants (because the politicians think that nuclear power is bad). This loss will be compensated by buying electricity from France, which is generated by nuclear powerplants:-).
This isn't something very new. Researchers are doing this for some years now. What I wonder most is how long did every evolutionary cycle take? It would be quite nice that a robot could adopt himself to a new environment in let's say, 2 minutes.
Hi,
I've been using Slackware since October 2003. I downloaded the iso from one of the mirrors and installed it on a second partition along Windows XP. It took me less then a month before I only used Slackware. Okay, hardware recognition isn't as good as Windows'. It took a while before I accepted the fact that sounds can't be mixed (soundchip on motherboard, and OSS nor ALSA fix the not-mixing) but I can play my music! I can even see movies in full screen thanks to DRI, although I had to search for it. The reason I have to go with DRI is that ATI's driver for the 9200 doesn't want to install for some reason:-(.
Slackware is one of those distro's that forces you to learn your OS-structure, that forces you to google for some problem you encounter, that forces you to actually learn something: one of the reasons I wanted to try something new.

Here they go again...I thought crackers broke passwords, not hackers.
