    Keep your stuff below 25C for high-proof alcohols and you can use almost any yeast up to about 30%, and specialized yeasts boast theoretical 40%. The hardest part is keeping it alive during fermentation.

    Or do I have to be the one with the brass balls, AGAIN, and stand up for you like I did against EA?

    We gave the telecoms industry 200 BILLION dollars, and this is what we get, a bunch of lies and almost NOTHING of what we originally paid for?

    I want a FULL FUCKING REFUND.

    And if you can't get behind me BEFORE I get this lawsuit rolling, I don't see why any of YOU should get your money back.

    So, man up and join the cause, or keep up your ineffectual whining.

    Enough of us suing will get them attention they don't want. Then we drag the entire telecoms industry in, and we force them to become public utilities.

    And enough of us suing usually means there's some HUGE law firm that will take our case on contingency.

    What part of ENERGY do you not understand? It may use solar energy for the initial bit, but the main energy MOLECULE is ATP, pal, and it's ATP which drives EVERYTHING ELSE in the plant.

    Photosynthesis in a plant may be SIMILAR to solar energy as we currently define it, but it's more complex and isn't 100% reliant upon the sun, hence BIO-GENERATION OF POWER.

    You clearly fail to understand the processes involved in photosynthesis, in which sunlight barely plays any role. (Plants are less efficient than solar panels, BTW.)

    Also, we can grow plants WITHOUT LIGHT AT ALL, that's one of my company's crowning achievements. Water energized with certain frequency electrical pulses, sound waves, specialized nutrient solutions. We can bring many crops to fruition without a single photon.

    So your entire statement just became 100% moot and irrelevant.

    Come back and talk when you're actually a part of the horticultural industry, performing research, and producing working products.

    If the license shows widespread adoption and agreement, it's generally considered valid by courts.

    With that validation, (must have a minor test case to get it validated,) we can then proceed to use prior legal affirmation of the license to force changes in the law. It becomes a massive legal battle which would certainly get some massive media exposure.

    Things would change, no matter what. It's all in how you play the game and lay out the traps.

    "The device seems impressive at a glance, particularly with the unbreakable vault that the PS3 has appeared to be, but it has little merit as an actual tool for breaking open the system and so far only seems to serve the purpose of copying games to play without the disk."

    Once you're in factory repair mode, you can do ANYTHING you want. Load customized firmware, whatever.

    Which means this is the next step to full unlocking of the PS3.

    Call it the Zero-One Distribution License.

    The license simply states "You may expand upon the works of these two programs as long as you distribute your derivative works freely, full source included, upon completion of a stable build of the program."

    Then have the two programs simply be a binary 1 and binary 0.

    Just get about ten million geeks to sign the thing to make it a solid license, and then start contacting lawyers.

    Collectively sue the absolute shit out of everybody. Force change in software licensing/EULA law is guaranteed.

    No, it's biogeneration. In fact, we just discovered a NEW type of chlorophyll (which I'm dead surprised slashdot hasn't picked up on it, yet. So much for being news for nerds you slow slackers,) which can use IR light to perform photosynthesis, split water, and build sugars, which we thought previously impossible.

    And that pretty much throws out so many prior EE beliefs and makes hundreds of new energy systems possible.

    Um, yea. That's why I've got a nice fat check, for telling them how to bypass the entire thing, with full schematics and video step-by-step.

    Want me to explain the workings of the PSJailbreak chip? I can do it. I can tell you exactly what happens. First we plug the USB pico drive in. We turn on the PS3, and put it into a reset mode. On non-debug models, we futz the data trace down the USB D+ trace (little tiny current surge, nothing major) and this forces the consumer-model console to enter a default repair/debug mode because the reset is giving odd returns (thanks to the USB trace play.) From there, the PS3 load up the debug firmware from the USB drive, and you have debug access, unrestricted ability to load what you please.

    Guess you don't know as much about me as you think.

    My motto - be a bitch online, be a bad motherfucker in real life.

    In about 6 months, expect full hypervisor details to be released.

    No, it was used because 405nm is a smaller wavelength, which means you don't need large pits in the plastic, you can use much smaller pits and thus pack more data onto a disc.

    Lasers are not held to a standard for reading R/RW discs, the discs themselves have a certain reflectivity threshold they must adhere by to obtain that certification. Many discs were just crappy because they didn't have a proper reflective layer that didn't properly reflect the laser back. (Memorex, I'm looking at you with your hematite-gray CD-RW that you could still see through.)
