The problem with that is that you'd have to extract the energy-bearing chemicals from the water (water is a chemical too of course) and that would most likely take more energy than it would yield.
It may be possible to make them filter feeders and power them with the methane produced by the decay of whatever organic matter they remove from the water. Solar may be a good supplimental power source if they float when they lose power.
Hmm...
Most every mineral/element can be found in seawater. Set them up to extract minerals from seawater and "excrete" the minerals in floating pellets.
Better yet equip them with the capability to build themselves and then harvest them later.
Of course these would probably have to process millions (perhaps even billions) of tons of seawater in order to produce just one robot fish so the rate at which they double thier population would be very very slow.

My primary home PC is a Mac Mini, after running a few days Safari often becomes an unusably slow memory hog. Firefox crashes without warning. IE is not an option.
I've haven't tried Photoshop, so I don't have enough data to do a valid comparison, but the "how to draw a line" question and a few other things (mostly having to do with seemingly inconsistant behavior when trying to insert text) were very frustrating to deal with.

I was simply trying to be funny by pointing out the unintended implication that all of those vulnerabilities were due to windows.
It occurs to me that you may be trying to be recursively funny by pretending that you didn't realize what I was trying to do. If so, I applaud your superior sense of humor.

Windows Laptops have a need to be protected from coffee spills, viruses, and general disk errors.
Fortunately my Linux laptop is immune to all of those.
Fortunately there are an infinite amount (in practical terms) of positions in chess so you can simply forget that idea
Fortunately hard drive space is cheap so he can easily add more as needed.
If he can build a good local index of the game positions he can even use the Gmail filesystem thingy for free storage. The speed would be rather lethargic though.
Slashdot Mirror
Why did it get arrested in the first place?
It was framed by windows.
I just had to ask it.
Eventually even six digit Slashdot IDs will be impressively small...
the only stores for thousands of miles in any direction sold only alcohol, Mormon cookbooks, and knives.
Sounds like a bad day for the Mormons if you're hungry.
or lived on chemicals? clean rivers!

Ok, I'm still stunned there are people who haven't decided to get a TiVo yet in this day and age.
There are more important things to do in life than getting irradiated by the boob tube. (For instance posting on Slashdot.)
I'm very new to Macs, I didn't know about Camino.
My search ability is also inferior to yours, when I went searching for Safari's memory/speed problems I missed that blog.
Thanks for the info!

Add a few bits and you've got a complete low power system.

Try the Hipster PDA.
Yes, it requires some organizational skills, but there isn't any system that will effortlessly make you organized if you naturally arn't organized.

Dorgem has motion capture, but it will probably fall short on many of your other requirements.

Will the mods give an explanation?
Probably not, posting in a story you modded posts in negates the mod points you gave. (Unless you're extra tricky.)
Yes, for the love of God.
Seriously. I doubt seeing a 1" cube I could relate it to *ANY* body part.
Your eye has fewer corners but it's about the right size.

You've obviously never read the "Clockless Origin Server Operation" section of RFC 2616.
Now that it's public domain will there be a set of prequels?
