  1. Re:Storage... on Sunlight + Algae = Hydrogen fuel · · Score: 1
    Still missing the big problem: H2 is such a small molecule it escapes through just about any material.

    This raises the problem that the fuel tank cannot be double skinned or contained itself without increasing the risk of explosion.

  2. Basic Chemistry on Sunlight + Algae = Hydrogen fuel · · Score: 1
    Well starter for ten.

    One group would contain Nitric and Nitrous Acid.

  3. Not new. Ancient History. Jeez that's old. on Sunlight + Algae = Hydrogen fuel · · Score: 1
    My biology teacher taught me this one about 25 years ago.

    Basically most things rotting produce Hydrogen Sulphide. If there is little Sulphur they can't, so they produce Hydrogen ...

    Helps the process if there is Iron around.

  4. Don't drink and drive. on Sunlight + Algae = Hydrogen fuel · · Score: 1

    Burn hydrogren in an internal combustion engine and you get all sorts of other things coming out as well. I for one would definitely not drink it.

  5. Re:WindowsCE v Linux/Transmeta v EPOC/ARM/Palm on Taiwan Mobile Computing Industry Adopting Crusoe · · Score: 1
    Nah, the two corners are Psion/Symbian and Transmeta/Linux.

    Windows CE is in a hole somewhat, grabbing at the ankles of anything it can in the vain hope of dragging them down to it's level ...

    Jeez, that's a Troll ...

  6. Yessssssss... on Taiwan Mobile Computing Industry Adopting Crusoe · · Score: 0

    I want to get hold off these asap so I can build my next Beowulf ...

  7. Recommend a vacation. on www.YourOpenSourceProject.cx is Free · · Score: 2
    I would imagine a good way to commend these people would be to arrange vacations there.

    If places like these see their local economy improving thru these sorts of schemes then ...

  8. They do sell Jolt in the Netherlands on The Ultimate Geek Food · · Score: 1

    I was doing some serious coding in Utrecht and I felt the need for caffine ... I definitely found some Jolt. Come to think of it I can't think of a place I've been without being able to find it. I was even playing with a box at a golf course on Lombok (one of the Spice Islands) and they had some ... well they had the bottle, and it was the right colour, but then, the cap seemed well worn to me ...

  9. Jolt on The Ultimate Geek Food · · Score: 2
    Jolt is the ONLY geek food ... ever.

    Oh, and some cold pizza to soak it up.

  10. Yessssssssssss! on Massive Sun Flare This Weekend · · Score: 0
    Just imagine all those people 'upgrading' to Win2Kludge, then a massive power spike.

    Well, without the powerspike there could be no M$ spin.

    Well, maybe they'll just spin on regardless.

  11. I wonder if I could bill the Bill? on Microsoft Funded by NSA, Helps Spy on Win Users? · · Score: 1

    One reason I finally switched over all my boxes to Linux was that my LAN kept autodialling onto the 'Net for no good reason, and incidentally running up a huge 'phone bill. Traced eventually to just the Windows boxes sending packets to some printer...

  12. Can we have some new pictures please? on Full Moon · · Score: 1

    It seems to have been such a long time since Man was last on the moon. I would really like some more up to date close-ups taken with a good old 35mm.

  13. Certainly easier than OGR. on Intel Goes for Display Encryption · · Score: 1

    Well this would certainly be easier than running the OGR project. All my boxes are chugging away and all I've done so far is just over 100 packets.

  14. Consider the case in the UK. on Intel Goes for Display Encryption · · Score: 1

    So someone buys one of these films. Some time later the TV dies. Some time later still the Old Bill turns up, "We believe there are instructions for a drug deal on that disk"...

  15. Already exist. on Intel Goes for Display Encryption · · Score: 1
    I bet we'll see the development of video cameras that are adapted to take screenshots.

    Such things already exist with the specific intent of being able to transmit old Cinema films on the TV.

    This encryption just seems so pointless.

  16. 56 bit, no problemo on Intel Goes for Display Encryption · · Score: 1

    Oh give me a break. Why do they think up these scams, sorry sceams?

  17. Re:hmm...what else do we need? on 24-Hour Power Cells for Wearable PCs · · Score: 1

    Or running one enormous Beowulf project ...

  18. Ha ha you all fell for it. on Will Microsoft Open Windows Source Code? (No!) · · Score: 1

    Spin, spin, spin. If they attached some blades to Redmond it'd be an aviation hazard.

  19. Yes, it works, yes it is fast, yes, you can download an evaluation copy.

  20. That's you that is ... on Interview with Knuth: TeX, MMIX/Crusoe · · Score: 1

    Good is all that's necessary then.

  21. Re:Really nice books and they are probably cool? on Interview with Knuth: TeX, MMIX/Crusoe · · Score: 2

    Oh, but they look so lovely on the book shelf. Also they really, really intimidate project managers. Finally when all else fails; if you throw one at someone, they stay thrown!

  22. When is he going to finish? on Interview with Knuth: TeX, MMIX/Crusoe · · Score: 1

    When is The Art of Computer Programming going to be finished?

  23. Re:Don't look if you don't want to know. on Inside Java 2 Platform Security, Architecture, API Design and Implementation · · Score: 1

    Didn't know it was so cheap now. :) Haven't tried WINE, I use VMWare. Instantiations are in deep with Borland from rumors I've heard, so I wouldn't be surprised. Jove itself was written in Java and then self optimised. I cannot see why there could not be a Linux version generated if there was a market.

  24. Don't look if you don't want to know. on Inside Java 2 Platform Security, Architecture, API Design and Implementation · · Score: 1
  25. An exercise for the reader ... on Inside Java 2 Platform Security, Architecture, API Design and Implementation · · Score: 1

    There is at least one java compiler than can give Fortran levels of performance.
