I heard Gentoo linux has some sort of autobuild tool that builds everything for the system from scratch, I think it's called e merde or something like that(you can google it yourself if your interested).
So was there any useful info in the article?
I'm sure there was a very cheap system for solar cell manufacture starting up in Wales, i think the company was US based but probably got some tax breaks for siting in Wales, G24i or some name like that?.
The G24i cells were only about 10% efficient, I seem to remember hearing normal silicon based cell are around 25%, expensive galium arsenic cells 40%? (all those figures are probably wrong).
Important things you normally never see in any article, How does it work, cost comparisons, efficiency, manufacturing methods.
All that is normally said in an article is the equivalent of a fart in the wind.
I have absolutely no real knowledge of solar energy, but as far as my high school science tells me, probably the best way to efficiently harness energy from the sun is via the biotech route. I would think some enterprising genetic engineer could splice some n345 rna codon for chlorophyll with the Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) zymurgation codon, culture it into a trifid type plant that directly synthesizes either ethanol or hydrogen gas. Far more efficient than the losses involved in charging batteries and much easier to store and transport, Fuel cells can then be used for electricity production or IC engines for motion.
Oh yes, the photo was very poor, she should have been shown wearing a bikini (she is a chick and it is summer, oh wait she's from Australia )
Just my penny's worth of thought, you of course may have other ideas?
So what have stem cells got to do with it? Stem cell research is banned in the USA, maybe thats why google have such close links to those reds in china?
Google is just an advertising system, you pay them you get good results.
A data mining system for the government to track the thoughs of the populace.
I cannot think of anything google does that does not collect data, mail (they can see what your saying to who), maps (they see where you are thinking of going), search (they see what you are intrested in), books (they see what books you are thinking of buying). etc....
All linked back to the MAC address of your network card, if were to delve into the venture capital firms involved in their rise you would see suspicious links to NSA and CIA front groups. The next stage in the companys plans are google RFID.
Their search results seem to be getting less relevant as advertisers try to game the system, yet google are not improving their algorithms very well.
NO I HAVE NOT RTFA, I JUST WANT YOU TO BUY MY SOUNDPROOFING, IT STOPS THE CIA HEARING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still don't understand how some of the search engines work?, but don't they rank sites based on anchor links?. The entire site is coded in javascript using map area links, does this mean that sites advertising gain no pagerank increase by their adverts?.
The advertising is not targeted or relevant to any narrow area so will not help drive useful traffic to the sites?.
Only useful for gaining better pagerank by being on a high ranking or relevant site, but does it really help?
This is a brilliant idea if and only if: 1)it helps the advertiser or 2)helps the site owner
If the advertisers gain no sales (the bottom line) then the advert is wasted expense.
If the site owner has really sold advertising space (the bottom line) then he has succeeded but maybe he is just building hype in the hope he will sell pixels?
Good luck to the site owner, but I have to say I would not buy pixels.
So what has MIT got to do with apple??

yeah, like the MIT compsci people want to to eat the Berkeley dog food when they have their own exokernel project?. Just cos' the powerPC is more power efficient don't mean you get more bang per buck than an x86 arch, only more bang per watt.
I think you are wrong, as much expenditure as possible should be invested in option 1. Building better AI and search algorithms is advancing the state of the art, the battle between SEO and search engines pushes evolution on both sides and will lead to better things. Do we want things to stagnate and deflate to lowest cost least effort or do we want the battle between the SE and SEO to lead to improved relevance of searches and push the frontiers of AI.
If you can't avoid the the spam sites you're not using your search engine correctly. SEO spam results(such as word lists) are really only gaming the lowest common denominator, and can generally be sussed from the google summary. The sites that are paying to be ranked are generally selling something relevant to your search, which might be what you are looking for.
Why cant you scale a line/rectangle/bitmap?, how do you map a high res vector to a low res bt map display?
Is there any need for a "better desktop"
"These things important are not"
But where X goes beyond the desktop, where it's infrastructure will really be most use full, where transparency, layers, alpha, and 3D effects will be most important. When these are used in overlay with real world, real time display. The technology is already here for low power LED direct to retina projections. These thing are being developed and this is the next step.
to quote the man
"Do you know what the man is saying? Do you? This is dialectics. It's very simple dialectics. One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions -- you can't blit vectors, you can't go out
into bitmaps, you know, without, like, you know, with fractions -- what are you going to map on, one quarter, three-eighths -- what are you going to do when you go from here to vectors or something -- that's dialectic physics, OK? Dialectic logic is there's only love and hate, you either love something or you hate it."
"This is the way the fucking world ends! Look at this fucking shit we're in, man! Not with a bang, with a whimper. And with a whimper,
I'm fucking splitting, jack!"
We did some consult for a large PC manufacturer and the suggestion that were made required more expense than was feasible.
Basically lots of acoustic absorbtion materials adds to size and weight (they didn't want to go there).
special air flow ducting system(adds alot to size and made manufacturing/assembly more expensive)
removal of the moving parts (would require cooler/efficient power supplys and processors, that add to expense)
Basically manufacturers are not looking at making PC's quieter due to diminished return on investment as it's not really a selling point.
The simplest way to get a quiet PC is to buy an epia fanless system and use flash disk instead of HD and have a server/cruncher under the stairs. Alternativly spend lots of time and effort sealing and padding out your case with acoustic damping materials and ducting the fans correctly and end up with something worse than the epia.
I know what option I would take unless I really needed to have a more powerful PC.

just thought i would post some more spam with a reference to my previous comment. on the exact same type of article posted very recently.
Is that a US postage stamp. or some other stamp? how will the postal service be using this technology?

It depends what you have up your bottom, but applying a methodology to it may not help if you have bad infromation.
