If you can get an exploding cell phone battery through security, they won't stop fuel cells. The cell phone battery is also much more likely to be a danger too.
The actual fuel container might not be reusable/refillable, but what is stopping them from using a tapable mini-keg (in whatever generic shape they agree on), that slips into the fuel container the laptop company chooses? Similar to the cartridges for air guns, those aren't reusable, but they aren't price ineffecient either.
That is like saying that anyone who buys a CD will just copy it and return it (My best buy never gives me trouble if I didn't like the cd despite the receipt). I have an XBox and I actually just copy the games so I can have a backup if the original gets destroyed. I preferred carts because they tend to break less frequently from being stepped on. A backup allows me the piece of mind not to worry if any of the little kids are playing the xbox.
On one hand, yeah backwards compatibility is really cool to have. On the other hand this is completely different considering the options. A quick search on the playstation webpage excluding the playstation 2 games yields 61 pages with 20 games on each page, and a final page of 4 more games. That is 1224 games. Xbox has 16 pages of 25 games on each page. That is only 400 games. That is give or take 25, because for some reason XBox.com decides not to number their pages, or give a page skip feature. Now the need for backwards compatability is much less for the Xbox2 than the PS2 did.
I think the idea isn't that it will complete replace batteries immedietely, but rather supplement them for persons needing an extended time with out a charge. When I go on trips I usually need to bring along a power converter to change 12 volt car power to my laptop 110 volt charger. I would gladly have spent more on my laptop to not have the hassle of all those wires, the same way I spent a little more to get wireless instead of plugging in.
Maybe this water, while being a small amount, could help with cooling down the computer? I imagine it would evaporate and take some of the heat with it.
Nobody missed out on it. It looked like you were talking into a taco. It was also very uncomfortable to play, with a very poor button lay out. The games were also not as good as the GBA games, causing everyone to shun it like the black death.

While I don't find it to be the best, many people recommend the Orinoco Gold Classic (not the newer version). I believe the classic is a 8480, whereas the newer is 8482. The classic is supported by all the Netstumbler crowd, whereas they make no guarantee on the 8482 model. The only main requirement I would put out is that it includes the ability to attach an antenna.

I had huge problems with DLink, and the aforementioned XP drop problem. Overall it was solved with changing my preamble to long, and my broadcast to something less frequent (I believe it is at 500 instead of 100 now). Maybe that will help, I about threw my DLink out and bought a Netgear, but a last ditch effort of randomly changing settings finally worked.

The United States and the European Union have reached a final accord on resolving a transatlantic row over rival satellite positioning systems and will seal the deal at the US-EU summit this week in Ireland, officials from both sides said Monday. The agreement, reached after months of intense negotiations, builds on a framework deal reached by the two sides in February in Brussels to ensure compatibility and non-interference between the US Global Positioning System (GPS) and Europe's Galileo project, the officials said. "We have reached completion of a GPS-Galileo cooperation agreement," a US State Department official told reporters, calling the deal a "landmark" accord that would reap "profound benefits" for both the United States and Europe in the highly competitive satellite positioning market. The official, who spoke with two other US officials and an official from the European Commission, said the deal would be formally signed on Saturday at the US-EU summit in Dromoland Castle in Ireland by US Secretary of State Colin Powell and EU commissioner Loyola de Palacio. Irish Foreign Minister Brian Cowan, whose country currently holds the rotating EU presidency, will also sign the agreement, the official said. The February outline had resolved all but "legal and procedural" details which were finally hammered out over this past weekend, the officials said on condition of anonymity. "This is excellent news for both sides," the European Commission official said. The United States has been watching the development of Galileo warily for the past two years, fearing it could compromise US and NATO military operations which rely on the GPS system for navigation and combatant location and might interfere with a classified Pentagon positioning system known as M-Code. At one point, Washington suggested that the Galileo was an unnecessary rival to GPS that merely duplicated the US system. Despite the US reservations, Europe forged ahead with the project and Galileo is set to be operational by 2008 with 30 satellites encircling the globe in medium orbit. Late last year, the Europeans agreed to modify the modulation of Galileo signals intended for government use so they would not disrupt encrypted GPS signals to be used by the US military and NATO. Under the terms of the agreement, the two sides agreed on key points including: - a common signal structure for so-called "open" services, and a suitable signal structure for the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS). - a process allowing improvements, either jointly or individually, of the baseline signal structures in order to further improve performances. - confirmation of inter-operable time and standards to facilitate the joint use of GPS and Galileo.

It looks like they finally disabled the Messenger service, that was the most annoying thing in the world.

Wouldn't that be entrapment? Enticing someone with a book that says "you can do this and get away with it" and then stopping them when they do it?

Actually, fuel cells run on hydrogen, which is the most plentiful gas in the universe. Which makes it more available than fossil fuels...

More likely the "johnny accesspoint", since apparently they have bundles of cash already.
