Start out with your zeppelin full of hydrogen. Feed the hydrogen into the fusion reactor to produce power to run the engines. Feed the resulting helium back into the gas cells to maintain buoyancy.
the problem had persisted for years and had not responded to various drugs and a year of physical therapy providing plenty of time to heal on its own and for the placebo effect to kick in. At the time I felt that chiropractic was bullshit. It had to prove itself, which it did for my specific condition. YMMV just like conv medicine.
Except when it's not bullshit. After my orthopedic surgeon shrugged his shoulders at me, I went across the street to a chiropractor. After 1 week I could walk normally again. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
... when Yahoo was a 7 page text file that you downloaded with FTP. You printed it and kept it next to you acsii terminal and typed in the URLs that it listed.
Does it list itself with the owner's ebay ID or does it use the artist's ID? How does it know the owner's ebay password?
I'm guessing the cube doesn't access ebay directly. It just pings the artist's server and the server does the ebay listing.
Free Speech only applies to public places. My phone line is a private location. It's my choice what speech is allowed. Whenever a telemarketer calls, I ask them who gave them permission to use my phone line. They rarely have a response.
Not voice recog, brain recog. 50 years from now we'll be using 6th gen languages that simply respond to thought patterns through the transceivers implanted in our skulls at birth.
I think the use of core rope memory for program storage was fascinating. I guess you really have to be sure of your code. That kind of commitment is kinda scary.

I think the people most likely to cause an accident are the ones most likely to talk on their mobile phones whilst driving. These people would be more likely to cause an accident even whilst not on their mobiles because they don't take driving seriously.
Couldn't the fueling stations have there own banks of these supercaps to buffer the power? Most stations aren't used continuously, so they could be supplied with more conventional power feeds.
Looking at this and the rest of this thread, and the threads about ST:E, and all the others, makes me glad that I quit thinking several years ago. I realized that if I actually thought about what was happening on these TV shows and applied critical reasoning that I couldn't possibly enjoy them. So I just turn off my brain and become willfully ignorant. You should try it sometime.
It not always easy. ST:V was such an appalling pile of shit that I had to stop watching.
Of course, this doesn't apply to Firefly which was awesome.
Has anyone done an analysis demonstrating the size and power consumption of a machine equivalent to a modern CPU but composed of discrete components? Or even valves/tubes?
My uncle worked at Ball Aerospace in Boulder where Spitzer was built. He took me on a tour of the place and I got to see Spitzer while it was still in a few pieces. The solid beryllium mirror was a beautiful thing.
Sorry, but utopia is not an option.
Perhaps efficiency is not the right word. More people will benefit when more people are making the decisions as to where resources should be spent. Any type of central authority can't process all the information fast enough, not to mention the inevitable corruption. The world is too dynamic and power is too easily abused.
Yes. But a system where individuals decide where to contribute to society is much more efficient than one where a central authority collects those contributions at gun point and then pisses them down a hole.
I taught my two sons that if they were ever solicited online to gather as much information as possible about the perv and then to extort as much cash as possible. I offered protection for a mere 10% cut, plus a 5% service fee for the network.

The placebo effect doesn't work on me. I'm too skeptical of everything.

They appear to have better security than Dropbox, but how can I be sure?

I think there's a camera and a microphone in the box.
Back around 1996, Pixar bought a bunch of Sun E4000 servers for their renderfarm because they had the most throughput per cubic foot.
I had the opportunity to see Spitzer while it was being constructed at Ball Aerospace in Boulder. The solid beryllium mirror was quite beautiful.

You know, where you can buy jacks and stuff.

I quit caffeine once (due to the paranoia), but I got tired of all the noise my computer made when I rested my face in the keyboard.
