I doubt you'll see 'hydrogen lines', as the current model for fueling stations is to make hydrogen using electricity.
So, the cost of hydrogen is really the cost of electricity.
The bonus is that you don't need tanker trucks rolling down the highway as much.
Petroleum is cheap because all you have to do is pump it out of the ground and refine it a bit.
Now.. you have to return the cart otherwise they'll know you were the last one using it.
Also, 'they' will see your shopping list.
In some ways, I'm looking forward to this because your underground parking has a million shopping carts there and my lazy ass neighhbours leave carts in the hallways.
Now, they'll be busted and sent to bad shopper prison.
Just like the 'missing' Los Alamos disks.
I get blamed for 'missing' stuff all the time when in reality, it's just mislabeled and on a shelf somewhere.
.. is to get product out the door before someone patents it.
Now that google has a dozen or so 'beta' things displayed in their labs.google.com site, they can claim prior art in the event that someone wants to patent something 'new' with a search engine.
The article mentions how they just work with the fact that transistors don't match.
Well, engineers have been working with mismatched transistors ever since the transistor was invented.
People have to remember that a version of Windows NT ran on Alpha chips back in 94, so you can't rule of a MS/Cell platform.
Assuing that the cell will run linux exclusively may be a bit premature.
IBM will likely push linux/cell hardware for the server market.
Workstations tend to be used by engineers for 3d modelling (stress/strain,fluid flow, heat transfer, crash simulation, etc)
Well, since the cell is supposed to power the PS3, it's a given that game programmers will program games for it.
I'm guessing that the chip that supports the coolest games wins.

Soviet Canuckistan has the Hydrogen Highway. http://www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/media/newsreleases/20 04/200413a_e.htm
p.s. congrats on being 'FIRST!'.

.. not like any of you whippersnappers know what USENET is...
Not only does it play MP3's, act as a PDA, GPS, Navigator, Camera, Game Pod, RFID gizmo, but you can use it as a COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE!

.. I'd spend it on women and booze.
But.. the first stonehenge is just a bunch of rocks. What is it good for?
To our new Free Software Overlord.
This is really really old news.

5 v is for TTL logic. Your CPU uses lower levels internally, and has for years.
.. and take out a fleet of Romulan ships with it. And that's how the Romulan Wars were started.
Good one! ;)
.. anthem.
Mass to Energy to Mass.... Einstein Told Ya so.
So, they're implying the conductor is dumber than a GPS unit?
Glad that I live in Soviet Canuckistan, instead of some police state.
You can boot up a knoppix disk and format a floppy for 720k. Actually, the 'boot knoppix' part isn't needed, but it looked good while typing.
It's multi core, so they'd probably just stack the cores like a bunch of oreo cookies.

.. made of risc components.
as in knowing my preferences... ie.. remember that I prefer NO BLOGS when I search for news.
