Yes, but it doesn't mention more power, just talks about the size. If these give the same amount of power today's batteries do, that's really no breakthrough.
God, you're supposed to make one joke that noone will detect and that they'll think is for real, I think this is a bit overdoing it. Not to bitch though, it's a nice change from everyday's news. I'd just like it better if it was a bit less over the top. So, just over the top.
I've been using hotmail since the late nineties and guess what my space is at now: Same as what it was then (2 mb). That's right, I have 2 mb of storage space. Gmail has 2-3 GB (I've lost track) and my POP mail client (Opera) has as much as my PC. Does hotmail have ANYTHING going for it any more?
I don't have paid access to usenet (so I have no access at all, effectively) and the content on p2p appears to be very very limited. Plus, I don't look that much for porn anyway.
Why do we need a.xxx domain anyway? Will it make easier for people to block these sites? You can't get into them unless you pay anyway. Is it better for categorization? All the other sites are in 2-3 TLDs. I just don't see what this would help.
PayPal is an international service, phone numbers don't mean much to me (a Greek). I'm not going to spend more money calling than I want to get, live chat/fast email support is the only think that works for me.
After reading that site and a few stories of users that have had their accounts locked by PayPal, I'm convinced that that is no rare phenomenon and I try to avoid using PayPal as much as I can.
I am eagerly looking forward to an alternative like GBuy (is it really?) so I can feel a bit safer making transactions on the web. Knowing that I might create something that finally allows me to make a decent bit of money only to have PayPal lock my account and take all of it isn't very reassuring.
What the article mentions is not really a big problem, since that is more or less what would happen if someone guessed the root password (then they could tamper with anything, including the logs). If the administrator isn't knowledgeable, both sudo or root can get hacked, but this doesn't mean that sudo is worse or has more disadvantages than running as root.
Personally, I prefer sudoing a shell to run as root so I don't have to type the command all the time, but that's just in my home Ubuntu installation which I don't care much about.
Given my inbox, I'd be ready for the '08 Olympics.
I don't get it. Does everyone except me have that big a problem with spam? SpamAssassin deletes 99% of my domain spam and Gmail catches another 95% or so. I only see one spam message every month. Granted, I don't get many (about 20 a day) total, but I don't see any of those, and I would imagine that people that got 100x that would only see about one or two a day.
Does anyone have a huge problem with spam getting through the filters?
Everyone's so caught up with saying why something like this would obviously not work, and noone's asking the more important question: What is this article doing here? This is news? Is it April fool's?

the research team hopes to 'build batteries that range from the size of a grain of rice up to the size of existing hearing-aid batteries.'"
What's the big deal? Hearing-aid-sized batteries already exist!

Sadly, people at /. understand that this is just technobabble (in CTC mode) :/
Who cares :( We'll see when it happens.

Because I don't have the necessary skills, obviously. Why don't you plant your own corn?
Why doesn't anyone make any Opera js scripts? :(

I don't think you can clear a name that has been into spyware. I know I won't trust them for anything else they might do...

Yes, you are great at math. Or, I have two email addresses.

The game is actually Severance - Blade of Darkness. Totally missed that one :P
Dude, wtf are you talking about?
8 moths, FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
Python with SDL (pygame) has been used to write Dungeon Siege (I think that was the game, correct me if I'm wrong) and I liked the result a lot.
Finally, a government that listens to its people!
...until the companies themselves start selling our emails?
