We used to let our friends log in with our Steam accounts to play Counterstrike back in the day. We were never all using our accounts at the same time, so it worked fine. And despite the fact that I've gone through about 5 computers since then, I can still boot up Steam and have my games running without wondering what the hell I did with my CD-key.
To quote the article: "The total amount of floor-space will add up to around 25 square meters, and they expect to obtain over 1,400kw per day - more than enough to power their systems."
The pictures say they are "jikenchuu", which means "in the middle of the experiment". And the article states they are improving their results.
I just don't see how it could be a waste if they were really able to power their ticket-taking systems without outside electricity, especially if they can make the system durable enough to last a while.
Of all things, this somehow caught me off guard and almost made me laugh lemonade out my nose (a painful prospect). Sorry I didn't have any mod points.
Would doubling your "tenth of an inch" double the output? 1/10th of an inch seems rather conservative. Based on experience, I'd say it's closer to 1/4 or 1/2 an inch. And since they're running their machines off this, I have to question your math in its entirety.
I believe the energy from food was already going to be "wasted". This is like a simpler version of generating electricity through exercise equipment. The people were doing it anyways, so why not get something back?
And if you've ever seen these things, they basically look like a mat on the ground that gets stepped on a million times per day. I can't imagine there's a complex, expensive mechanical system going on in there that cost a ton of money to create.
They've had these things at the gates of Tokyo Station for years now. What's the news part of this?
I don't even notice them when I walk across them anymore.
So you want products that are made in the here and now to work in a country that's 5 years or more behind the wealthy, advanced markets? What's the point in designing something to work on old or limited tech when we already did it the first time around? Reduce, REUSE, Recycle.
Perhaps I'm spoiled by my Japanese phone, but since I got my first one 4 years ago, I could specify what "category" a contact falls under and separate them thusly. I always had Work, Foreigners and Japanese for convenience. And, of course Delivery. Is this not the same thing?
A jukebox is not just the right to listen a song. That quarter buys you the right to force other people to listen to the song. And your entrance into the establishment constitutes a binding agreement relinquishing your rights to not listen to what some drunk guy wants to hear 10 times in a row.
Sounds exactly like the system already used at CouchSurfing. Then again, having not read all the posts, this might sound exactly like someone who already mentioned this.

My question is to its effectiveness. Taser worked by debilitating you, but continuing to function through pain is a lot easier than through involuntary muscle spasms.
So you're suggesting that I should relearn Word, the industry standard? It's a huge mistake to change something this drastically when it's already what everyone is using. I'm sure the average user wasn't utilizing all of Office's goodness. It takes a long time and a lot of expertise to get the most out of Word. Now that they've changed the UI, I need to spend a couple days relearning everything I already knew just to get the same final product I was already creating.
I'd love to use OpenOffice, but when you try to create a DOC file in it, it spits out the most hideous crap ever. When big business switches to OSS, I'll pop open the champagne, but until then, damned if I'm paying to be locked into a proprietary format.
Sending a resume as a DOC file lets people see your skills in Word. Most people create horribly ugly resumes in Word with all sorts of formatting errors. Also, most companies ask for your resume in Word and won't even accept a PDF.

Not everything has to be a conspiracy. Aircraft do crash.
Is that a threat?

Prostitution just became an issue of how well the girl can mimic the actions of the pornography you're watching. Ugly prostitutes rejoiced.
Maybe we are the platform upon which he is designing. Program intelligently using new Human++ on Rails!
I wish I had mod points to mod you informative right now. I'd completely forgotten about that cartoon and how much I loved it.
They could buy 4 gigs of RAM for 3 million of their users... at retail prices...

I find it likely that both Britain Spears and Brandy Spears were not looking for the singer.
Just look at horse racing.

Shouldn't this be the other way around? Since when did kids learn anything about computers by watching their parents?
In the world where the answer is 49, the question "What does 7 times 7 equal?" is far less humorous.
