Sorry dude, [strike]you'll only get oxygen exhaust at the places that produce hydrogen. If you buy a sodium-silica stick/input pack then your vehicle will produce oxygen[/strike], but only as much as is used by the reacting hydrogen to produce power. So, the only output of your vehicle may be a spent sodium-silica pack, while all the water is recycled. (Naive hopes, probably the first ones will expect you to fill up with water too) But you probably won't get oxygen exhaust.
Ok. Scratch most of what I said about oxygen specifically. I wasn't thinking about the reaction at hand. The reason that the reaction of sodium/silica gel with water produces hydrogen is that they rip the oxygen off of the water. This means that your car will actually absorb 1 oxygen atom per water molecule or per hydrogen atom pair. and it will absorb yet another oxygen when the hydrogen is reacted.
Hey! That could even be real backseat driving... you stick the wireless lan in an RV, you stick a camera on the dash, a few servos on the steering wheel, brakes, throttle, and shifter, and cruisecontrol, put another few cameras on the sides and back, and then you walk around the back of your RV while driving it with whatever wireless device available, be it phone, pda, or laptop...
you could even drive a fleet of RV's like that...:)... well maybe only 2, unless you start getting funky interfaces so you can use your feet, but I do think the limit is 4 if you can handle managing 4 sets of video feeds simultaneously for differing traffic.
You're all on crack. Either the article title is wrong, you guys speak french, or you can't count, but in english, 500 million = 500,000,000 Not 500,000 which is (cinq-cents mille)
My guess is that you just wrote up an "infinite" loop until the counter overflows its way back up to five-hundred thousand

Your fair argument makes a good point... how long until someone hacks the initial version to rack up credits for a million users downloading a member's initial song... and then downloading the songs available by credit... then the RIAA would sue because you used their program to steal another person's bandwidith?
What mallard said, and then you must not be part of a large organization that has trouble cracking down on spam at will... ie a university. I get about 3 spam e-mails a day, out of 6~ ish e-mail addresses I check slashdot style. These all come through my university account, and about 2 in 9 are directly to my address and the other 7 are to a mailing list for a club I'm a part of...

I've found that if you make the default layout Dvorak, things go much more smoothly... of course whenever anyone else uses my computer I can expect an initial cry for help and then repeated curses every time windows switches back to dvorak in a new window:P

It obviously depends what operating system you are running under. If it is Windows XP you just need to go to the Control Panel -> Regional And Language Settings -> Languages -> Details
This panel will let you add a new keyboard layout, set the shortcut keys to swap between the two, and set the default.
If you use Some Unix distribution, you can usually find it under "Keyboard Layout" in the equivalent of the Control Panel.
If you use Mac, well, I'm still waiting around for that torrent that was mentioned the other day here, and I'm too lazy to fire up pearPC to check it up, and too broke to own a Mac, but I remember changing it once... its somewhere in the Settings...
I personally don't have keyboards where the keys are rearranged anymore because of that damned angled key problem, but wherever I go I remap the keys anyways, so I might as well have a letterless keyboard... lol, its actually worse/better than a letterless keyboard, because if I look at the keys, I have to ignore what I see written on them otherwise it will mess me up. If I were you, I'd use the letterless keyboard, and just pop up the onscreen keyboard to have a visual reference for you, and then once you get the hang of it you'll never go back:)
If you really want to get a program to do it, I could probably write you a quick little script for Windows, just let me know.
Interesting link there, I didn't realize that the problems with pixel defects were at the transistor level... I remember reading a few articles discussing the costs of fabricating lcds and how minute defects in the display level were exceedingly difficult to prevent significantly, and that even a tiny particle could cause a dead pixel. If it really is all circuit defects, then there really is no reason (other than raw space) that they couldn't solve that with redundant cabling/sturdier wiring in the first place...

Actually, it does have a port option. syntax: ipaddress:port just put a colon in, the same as when you access any webservices not running on port 80

read the faq, this site was built and is still somewhat US centric. AND THEY DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THAT.
What's wrong with you guys... of course its Emacs.

_____________But then this happened and keeps counting upwards: and is funnier in its own right:
You know, this used to say "Slashdot requires you wait at least 2 minutes between... curious how it just says "wait" now
Its not redundancy, its fast! I just wonder how they get the controller cards to connect across that distance.
Could you release your sperm or a kid under GPL as a derivative work?

You've been on that torrent for 3 days??, especially when it got posted Sunday?? or did you get it from another link
