I open and close my display at least 5 times per day. They say that their "flexible tube" is good for 20,000 open/close cycles. That is completely unacceptable. That means that I could have water leaking out of the back of my laptop within a year. Shorting and overheating suck
True engineer? I challenge you... why does an engineer do _anything_? I'm only 2 years into my undergrad, but I guarantee that it isn't always because "you can".
I think that you are unclear on the concept. Do you know that? You are contradicting yourself. Ugh, I can't even believe I read your post and am replying to it.
Actually, that is a ruse- but how MANY people are going to post about that on this story? It's really silly that people felt the need to post that so repetitively, and the moderators thought that it was so insightful. I hate you, slashdot.
Why the (tm)? In my opinion, that's a really annoying trait of the slashdot crowd. That, and random capitalizations. Seriously, that's been bugging me.
I figure it to take about 3 minutes, and roughly 400 Km to get up to mach five, accelerating at one G. Maybe I'm wrong, but it was just a back of the napkin calculation, and this IS just slashdot:p
Seriously, I am a freshman in college with no marketable skills- and what was my job last summer? You guessed it; "Radio Shack Sales Associate". What a bunch of dorks! My manager was a year older than me, and my regional manager seemed to have something wrong with him. When I left that place, I said "The hell with you guys, the next time you see me is when you're selling something I designed!"
But what's the point of this post? Radio shack has long since degraded into the lowest common denominator of shiny crap that goes beep. There's a REASON why the salese people don't know anything. It's a high turnover rate, and a rapid shot of apathy that comes out of nowhere. Don't judge the damned.
Those tanks hanging down- they worry me. I would be afraid of all the exhaust gas hitting those things, and then havingthem just swell upa nd pop like a baloon. Isn't that a concern?!? Geez! Maybe he's counting on all that heatto pressurize those suckers, and cut back on pumps... Those nutty toy designers!
America has it, and it sucks. What are some more symptoms? How about food? They say that over half of americans could stand to loose some weight? I wonder how come. Whenever I turn on the TV, there's a close-up of a slowly rotating sandwich with at least a POUND of beef, and several slices of cheese. Do I NEED one of those after typing for 7 hours? Hell no! A really tasty little green salad would be much more my speed. And without a lot of heavy dressing, too! Americans can't get enough. We're a bunch of Homer Simpson clones. How many people do YOU know who say "D'oh!" ? Are you one of them? I guess it's like being Chris Farley. I have no idea why that's attractive to everybody. I guess we like attention,as individuals- and how better to get attention, than to be the CENTER of attention? We like to feel IMPORTANT, and how better to do that to be BIGGER than everyone else? Fuck that line of thinking, my friends- and we shall overcome. Stop talking big, and BECOME a vegan- start RIDING that bike to work. Go get some real culture, and I guarantee that you CAN feel important, and attended to- without being Top Dawg. (sigh) I'm out of here.

Too Old To Code?

In short; what will make you valuable when you are old and slow? Your ability to go back and fix your own arcane crazy bugs that only you remember from the first time around. All my old geezer freinds have brick walled themselves into job security.
Sorry, but as a high school AP Chem student, I'd have to disagree with your notion that this is a possible reaction
(H20 + {N2, O2, etc} -> products + energy)
the reason being that there is very little free energy contained in the molecules of any of these abundant environmental compounds; with the exception of hydrogen- but there's not too much of that floating around close the ground on earth... it tends to react chemically, or waft off up into the stratosphere.
A fuel cell is usually based on O2 reacting with H2 (great, huh? why not get all our power that way?) (becasue there's on source for the H2; we have to electrolyse it out of water, a process that requires more energy than it yeilds) so the possibility of ambient air chemicals yeilding energy... nah- it would be happeneing in nature right now, since entropy likes stuff to fall all the way down to the lowest stable energy state.
Remember that camera setup from The Matrix? Well, this bandwidth is highly useful for sending all 30 of the movie angles through simultaneously of the... um....
try again: Know about ADAT recording? It uses SVGA tapes, and has a sample rate of 250 MHZ (I think) for quality 16 times better than CDs- oh wait... still not enough...
Remember that SF story about people licing in the computers, with ALL of their synaptic connections represented in the computer? Well, here we go! And I bet Al Gore will take credit for it!

Free neuter? Count me in!
Yeah, well- what if I really open it 50 times a day?

Some people perfer the multi-player, but I go for the solo missions.

wtf are you talking about?
The funny thing is that my karma is lower than if I was an AC.
I wonder if we could make clothes out of this, for hot weather. Perhaps self-mixing drinks?
Why don't you use your mad PDI skillz to build a contraption to inject hot grits into pants at high velocity?

That is so small!
In the main article they said that 4 out of 12 were encrypted. That means it is possible to encrypt, right?

A structure large enough to house my enormous wang.
