  1. No it's molecular on Toshiba's One-Minute-Recharge Li-ion Batteries · · Score: 1

    It was popular science I think. The coating exposes more grains, which allows the faster recharging, higher amperage, and more energy.

  2. Already something after Li-Ion on Toshiba's One-Minute-Recharge Li-ion Batteries · · Score: 1

    Read about a way of coating particles to expose much more surface area. Three times the power and much faster charging times.

  3. Multiprocessor systems for one. on Production of Photon Processors Expected in 2006 · · Score: 1

    This makes a lot of sense for an interconnect between chips on a single board.

  4. 1 ft, 11 pound? on ISS Releases Baby Sputnik · · Score: 2, Funny

    That sounds like something to be proud of!

  5. Exactly what I was thinking. on English To Code Converter · · Score: 1

    If the University of Kentucky of something finds the secret of sentience, it'll probably go unnoticed. Until MIT or Stanford comes upon it.

  6. Use binary, or hexadecimal? on Preview of New Block Cipher · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem with these ciphers is having to constantly convert to and from decimal, which is a very poor base to use in computer science.

  7. Gender neutral pronouns. on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1

    These are a fairly big thing to some people. Ey/eir/em.

  8. Away from the speaking. on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1

    I used English as the example, but I mean a language that does not bother with being speakable. Nifty places indeed.

  9. Been there, done that. on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1

    Good start. It's still meant to be a spoken language though.

  10. Machine language understanding? on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine it's somewhere in those translation algorithms.

  11. When are we getting machine code natural language? on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is, encoding English like we encode with a compiler?

  12. /. uses logic. on The PSP's Birthday Party · · Score: 1

    For example, very few here are religious. That shows tremendous logic.

  13. Meaning the non-display tablets. on Review of the 8 Hour Tablet: Electrovaya Scribbler · · Score: 1

    Wacom sells the cintiq as well. But I like the ones that do not display.

  14. I like the wacom tablets better. on Review of the 8 Hour Tablet: Electrovaya Scribbler · · Score: 1

    You effectively decouple controlling the pen from your perception of what you write. Even with a tablet PC the pen will be in the way. And the wacom tablets track the pen even when it's lifted about a half inch.

  15. How so? on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1

    How is climate change a personal frailty? Or cloning even? Being a eunuch nerd, I don't have much problem with the sex part. I'm not commited so much to science as transhumanism--getting to the point where we don't have the same frailties of an ordinary human.

  16. Baduk been taking my game time lately. on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    If either of these had a good game of multiplayer Baduk...that would be the killer app for me. Touch screen for the DS would be the best.

  17. Yes we can. on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 1

    Humans are animals.

  18. Card is a copyright nut on Benioff and Weiss To Write Ender's Game Script · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    He was quoted as saying it is rediculous that copyright could ever run out on a living author. I decided not to read any more of his books after that.

  19. Computer geeks. on MSN Sponsors Mensa · · Score: 1

    Not too long in the future we will become melded into computers. So the computer geeks are essentially practicing for their role as gods.

  20. We will be robot soon. on Hitachi Unveils Humanoid Robot · · Score: 1

    The cyberthalamus is coming soon.

  21. They're only human as well. on Donald Knuth On NPR · · Score: 1

    Be wary of all our discoveries. When we get beyond human, we'll see what is truly valid.

  22. CS and math lie outside. on Donald Knuth On NPR · · Score: 1

    True, CS/math lie outside the religion debate as best as they can. Top biology professors are overwhelmingly atheist. The other disciplines--not as much.

  23. He is a Christian on Donald Knuth On NPR · · Score: -1, Troll

    And as such, that makes me very wary of anything he says regarding science.

  24. Threw the bag away? on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    Did the helium give you a headache?

  25. Agree on Human Rights on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    Of course the same yahoos disagree.
