I see your point. Can't do too much with the energy generated using just the surface area of the car.
Perhaps the focus should be more on getting solar generating capacity plugged into the grid. If you could charge your vehicle up with a football field's worth of sunlight from the day before you might have enough for day trips... if only the batteries weren't so damn heavy.
A university (or any *school*) should be a center of learning. If there's demand for a course of study, faculty willing and able to teach it, and resources to support it, I see no problem.
A university designed for vocational training would a vocational school. USC still offers Classics and Mathematics degrees all the way up to the doctoral level, right?
This was a frivolous holiday item that everybody forgot about the day after they checked it out.
I think that for more high-profile stories fact-checking online has proven to be quite illuminating at times. (Such as with the CBS memos and Dan Rather's on-air capitulation as to the doubts about their authenticity.
What will be interesting is if some game developers decide not to do this while others do.
I wouldn't necessarily stop playing video games entirely to avoid ads, but I would definitely consider buying games from "ad-free" developers while avoiding those that serve ads in-game.
We all bitched about movie theater ads while still going to those same movies because we didn't have a choice. There's a local theater that doesn't show those ads, I discovered it by accident, now I go to it exclusively.
Society, as a whole, doesn't give a fuck about fair use rights, perpetual copyrights, or click-through EULAs, either. Yet here we are.
Just because there isn't massive popular sentiment against what we here think of as an injustice doesn't mean it's not worth fighting against. You have to start somewhere.
is get together with the http://www.robocup.org/ people and some miniaturization experts, and come up with a total RoboFoosball table.
Forget spinning those sticks, you could coach the little guys! Against the inhuman RoboCoach!
That would be the biggest risk, to be sure.
But tracking down the source of a virus is quite difficult, and that's when it's the work of a single (or just a few) hacker(s). Imagine if some corporate muscle were applied in burying the source.
I'd worry about whistleblowers, too. Were I an ethically challenged antivirus company CEO, that is.
Or, they used the spelling of "principle" which indicates a basic concept rather than spelling it "principal" and having their readers wondering what school adminstrators have to do with all this.
You forgot Step 6: Obligatory post attempting to pre-empt every single typical Slashdot user's efforts to adapt the familiar tired old jokes to this new story.
And also Steps 7-n: Anything I missed.
Except for Soviet Russia. I never get tired of how in Soviet Russia, things are backwards.
I'm not kidding. I laugh every time. Well, a mild chuckle at least.
What about Wyoming? Do you realize that if every single user on slashdot moved to Wyoming and formed a voting bloc, we'd control the state!
Keep all the file sharing on an intrastate network, legally purchase material to be copied from out of state, and tell those Feds to stay the hell out!
Now, if only we could agree on what our voting bloc should vote for...
Yeah, that's a funny line. The problem... it's probably the funniest line in the whole movie.
Once I've decided to go see a movie, I try to avoid the previews because they give away the story, ruin all the best jokes, and show all the coolest explosions.
Also, horror movie trailers feature many of the "pop-out" scenes so you're not really surprised by them in the theater. And when is that guy who does the narration for them finally going to die? You know who I'm talking about...
Well, if the attention-grabbing gets him a little more than the $200,000 he's already spent, maybe he could turn this into something real.
I mean, let's face it. For the past 10 years (at least) HIV/AIDS has been "the" research disease for epidemiologists. How many billions have been spent looking for vaccines and cures?

These kinds of studies are what I like to call "horoscopes for the scientifically minded."
Take from it the qualities which best stroke your own ego.

What we should really be taxing is THE BLING!
I could do a boycott... I was getting tired of taking every damn sport to "the street," anyway.
Ummm, we are. Been to a "free speech zone" lately?
I would've thought he memorized the student directory. They usually list hometown addresses for students.

They want to abolish credit! Good luck selling that to the American people.

So if I've already spent four years averaging six beers/day, I need to stay sober for the next twenty years to benefit?
Man, am I glad I didn't go for that post-graduate degree!

I've always wondered about that kind of thing... most especially, what's to stop the antivirus companies from writing their own virii?
Not that they'd need to do it at this point, but talk about your perpetual business model...

Live by spelling nazism, die by spelling nazism.
Holy shit, this is so meta it's not even funny. It's depressing, because there's nothing new under the sun.
