why wouldn't each capable country have it's own?
No one said there had to be just one per planet - only that each would have the potential to supply all of humanities power needs.
blocky graphics notwithstanding, Adventure on the 2600 was a favourite for me. Even though they looked like penguins. the appearance and subsequent pursuit of the dragons was enough to inspire shrieks of terror!
Some people point out that mankind 'existed' during more adverse global climate conditions - this is to completely miss the point. Compare the global population size and distribution nowadays to those then. Perhaps their argument is that it's ok, because 100 million out of 6 billion will probably survive.
you're still not talking anything remotely practical for commercial use.
If such a plane can be made to carry even small amounts of cargo across the earth - slowly, but faster than terrestrial speeds - and it's operating costs are negligible, wouldn't that have a variety of commercial applications?
An unmanned variant might someday even has some military and civilian uses
Contradicts first statement.
it's never going to replace our chemically powered, high speed transportation aircraft.
Best of all; it happened in Europe, so we don't have to worry about some self-serving corporate trying to patent 'Chemically Controlled Stem Cell Culturing' to make $$$ for themselves at the cost of all humanities medical advancement.
I really think that Borland C++ Builder is a great way to start, because you *start* with a GUI designer, and add event-handlers, and eventually extend funtionality. It's a really easy way to lower the bar and you could get some simple UI-based games up & going with a minimal amount of (non-generated) code.
not just the article, but the headline is worded poorly... so poorly in fact that we have to surmise that the editor is being deliberately misleading, rather than just that stupid.
in championing.NET over J2EE he opined that 'we believe something is worth what you pay for it'. Guess that means their robotics dev kit is worthless now...

There will be for me - at least, that is, if OSX 10.7 Lion supports TRIM. ;)

which platform do Mortgage lenders usually target?
TFS literally refers to "hiding malicious code in the hardware", and it was the summary I referred to.
Seriously? /. editors can't tell the difference between Hardware and Firmware??
we aren't getting any visitors, and we aren't getting any communications from other species
How sure are you?
actually there are eight accepted meanings for the term Irony - I think at this stage it can mean whatever you want it to.
I can still remember "getting" how binary worked standing there and to a 10 year old geek-wannabe,
I don't believe you could have understood binary when you were only two years old!

congratulations. I was wondering how/when some malignant poster was going to try putting a negative spin on this.
FWIU not long enough for performance degradation to be noticeable - unless you're regularly filling/refilling the drive

Possibly true, but irrelevant.
and people paying attention to monotonous radio stations that only play a short playlist of over-publicized artists is over.
Uhh.. listened to commercial radio lately?
You missed out the important detail of how long you've been using it.
btw - this was meant to be a reply to the admonition not to invest in Chinese companies
could you elaborate on how this story reinforces that point?
are you referring to Solar Energy specifically, or in general?

I think that's a pretty important consideration, given the high incidence and terrible consequences of complications during childbirth.
Isn't this really old news? When my son was born last August they did exactly this for exactly these reasons..
