For children, this means your kid can have his mini-toy robot run off sugar. So when it gets tired you just have to actually feed him with sugar, and ta-da!
But what's the efficiency of sugar? I found in a diet site the following data:
1 gram of carbohydrate (i.e. sugar) = 4 calories
1 gram of protein = 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 9 calories (this is equivalent to burning gasoline)
1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories
So sugar is very inefficiency compared to other fuels. But at least it's a start. In any case, this reminds me of the times where we had to depend on animals to do the heavy work. How did you recharge animals? With plants, of course! Maybe that should be our goal, to have all our machines running on biofuel, hence becoming carbon neutral.
Oh c'mon (i know it's not your argument, but it's ridiculous). The govt detected Osama's activity way ahead of time, don't tell me they relied on wiretaps for all their intelligence. And yet, they let it happen all because of stupid paperwork. What the US needs is smart people in the agencies, not more paranoid wiretapping laws.
Besides - wiretapping hasn't stopped drug traffic and we know how heavy it is. Do they expect us to believe that by allowing wiretapping, terrorist activity will magically vanish?
Besides, smart criminals wouldn't use open phone connections. They just need to go to a rented appartment (or meet outside the US), plan things ahead of time, and nobody will notice. Or do you think 9/11 was planned by phone? "Hey, Osama! What if we crash the WTC tomorrow? Sounds cool! Let's do it, yay!"
But I kinda agree with it. The ads aren't intrusive (you're watching VIDEO, right? We're accustomed to watch COMMERCIALS in VIDEO for ages), and they support the service. I wouldn't mind watching the next model of Gillette Aftershave before watching my favorite clip.
However, the ads shouldn't last longer than 5% of the video in question, even if they're little watermarks on the bottom right corner. And one more thing: The ads must NOT be part of the.flv!!! I want to be able to download them and not having to watch the commercial over and over and over.
but don't think for a second that the leaders actually believe in any of it.
Actually, I read somewhere in the web (forgot where) that the leaders of Scientology are freemasons - just like the leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses, whose founder was a 33rd degree mason. Other famous 33rd degree masons include Aleister Crowley (famous satanist), Joseph Smith (mormonism), Gerald B. Gardner (wicca), Dr. Wynn Westcott (Societas Rosicruciana), and... George Bush, Father.
I get some really good transferrates with a fresh booted vista: Packet size 32k bytes: 115145 KByte/s Tx, 113827 KByte/s Rx.
Which is almost the best you can get on 1GBps.. but if im running winamp, windows media player or even QIP (a messenger) i get those results: Packet size 32k bytes: 17100 KByte/s Tx, 7267 KByte/s Rx.
Which is only about 10% of the available bandwidth
I guess this problem doesn't apply to people with 1MBps "broadband". What's your network speed?
It's most probable that the authorities will end up receiving the spam - after tweaking their filters a bit, they'll update the Great Firewall to block the advertised proxies.

See, if I was the judge, I'd say he wasn't allowed to use a computer, period
Oh gee, as if he had made a worm using the nickname "zero cool" and that worm caused a major blackout or something!
This is just what I had in mind after reading the article, YARRRR!!
wiretaps aimed at disrupting terrorist networks

Idiots.
Thanks! Actually, I admit it, I googled and pasted from the first website I found (bad journalism, sorry, I was in a hurry).
However, the pyramid-shaped gravestone on Charles Russell seems enough proof of his involvements in Freemasonry.

Why, we already have!

With the current administration, they'd surely blame terrorists and ask for more funds for invading Lybia, Iran or another country.

The same thing that happens if you play any song by Coldplay. Everyone realizes that you are gay.

Surely you didn't read that in a "power enhancement" spam, did you?
VOIP connections should be direct encrypted connections from my computer to the computer of the person whom I wish to contact. Period.

Once more journals start using this, expect to see more variety in the videos.
Personally I'm interested in data compression and information theory.
Does anyone here know how this design would hold up against an electromagnetic pulse in the event of nuclear war?
Easy. With a Faraday cage.
Allegedly? So are you saying that vista adoption is not slow?
I guess he's giving them the benefit of the doubt. I think he needs to rephrase, but I get his point.
I didn't know about the FISA court until I read this news. As far as I'm concerned, they kept the secret pretty well.
