The great thing about fuel cells is that once you have people using hydrogen, you can change the back end production without having to retool everything else down the line.
One year we could have the hydrogen being produced in a coal/oil fired plant, 5 years later nuclear/wind/solar, and even 50 years later with Fusion. But the end user would never notice because all you need to produce the hydrogen is electricity and water.
Drug research costs a lot of money. I know Drug companies can get greedy at times, but even if you were running at cost you would be spending tens of millions on research.
If this was a one shot magic bullet cure for cancer, aids, ect I think few would object to the suspension of the normal rules.
Unfortunatly, Aids gets resistant rapidly to the current generation of drugs, so you have to have a constant ammount of research going into it (more money).
But if the drugs are outragiously expensive, people die.
If no one pays the drug companies for the research, they might abandon it and more people would die.
I think a balance needs to be struck, either with government funding or an agreement to sell the current drugs nearer to what they actually cost the companies.
I think you'll find handgun bans actually reduce crime...
I doubt it.
I think crime has more to do with the society its self than what is used in the crime.
Lets be honest, it must be ridiculously easy to smuggle guns into Canada from the US (very long border, hiding a few in a nook in the engine compartment of a car would be easy), but you dont see Canadian gangbangers having pitched gunbattles in the streets of Toronto.

Another reason is possibly because AMD doesn't make their own motherboards.
Having the team who works on the motherboards having lunch with the guys who work on the latest chip is a plus for the customer.
Its better than having 10 thousand little applications that all start with K and whose names have little or no relation to what they actually do.
If you actually read the article you would have found out that there is a hand crack (possibly with a capacitor instead of a battery).
Gentoo is to NetBSD what that annoying 60hp import with the 6 foot wide bolt on spoiler is to the slick compact hybrid that you can park anywhere.
It's true, karma be damned.
I find your lack of faith disturbing, Citizen-Unit.
I saw no problem with it. Are you racist against cyborgs? ;-)
Buncha damn uppity toasters.
Next thing you know they come into your neighborhood and start casting them shifty glances at yer computer.
Send em all to teh camps.
I hope you never make anyone else touch your laptop. .
Better than bolting everything to a piece of plywood if you dont factor a case into your equation.
Crappy case/loud 400W PSU > no case/underpowered PSU
And from the reviews it doesnt sound that bad for the money. Keeping in mind that this is Newegg of course.
Oh, and I know they only cost $20 sans P/S but they also forgot a case. Idiots.

Yeah, but they obviously didn't look very hard when they were making this list.

Viola, and you still have your sub $500 gaming rig.
I live in Louisiana, so you can go to hell. Or Mexico.
At least we arent some pissant Third World country thats refusing pollio vaccines because of fears that the Western World laced it with HIV.
You may be surprised to learn that some people have a cognitive though process called a sense of humor.

Where I come from if your mind has many voices they lock you up in the loony pen.
That, friends, is the rant of a zealot.

This is one area where Open Source has its weakness.
Cutting down and optimizing existing code is not nearly as glorious as adding new features.
Micro$oft, on the other hand, can afford to have a whole team of programmers who's only job is to optimize and slim down the code.
As much as I hate MS, they did get a lot of things right in Office (except for that damn paperclip).

Blessed be that the Disciples of the Penguin God are permitted to spread the word of Tux among the unbelievers and followers of Mammon!
I dont write VB.
I use programs that are written in VB.
Not to mention if the program is written in something like Visual Basic and porting to Linux would be difficult at best.
... than the crap thats already out there.
Honestly, how many, petty, narcissistic, narrowminded blogs have you found that polluted your mind for hours afterward.
I'll take the spam.
How about this:
If someone rapes and kills your wife/girlfriend, we will let them out early out of some touchy feely need to keep the prison population down.
Oh, wait, this is slashdot. You probably don't even have a girlfriend.

Yes but Eminent Domain, at least in this country, requires just compensation.
So, along with the legal battle, you'd be back to square one.
