Can hold a a couple of kilobytes and have been around for over a decade and are in use everywhere in Japan.
You can go to a website and create one which contains anything you like, i.e your business card details, in a standard format, a url, telephone number, etc.
Sorry, this comment is rather pointless, which is unlike me, but.. Ozbon.. it's incredible. Those are actually the exact same games I would have chosen! Freaky.
"I still believe in the philosophy - FORTUNE quoted me saying this 20 years ago - that a very rich person should leave his kids enough to do anything but not enough to do nothing."
A great quote, I think.
[The FORTUNE article was "Should You Leave It All to the Children?" Sept. 29, 1986.]
On thing that is also rarely mentioned is that a conventional houses electrical systems are nowhere near adequate enough to meet this power demand.
Say I want to dump 10 gallons worth of petrol in the form of electricity into my car's batteries.
At the above energy densities that is 340kWh!
In the UK, a standard plug will only be rated to supply 13amps at 240V = ~3kW.
It would take about 4.5 days to charge at this capacity. For the sake of simplicity, I've ignored all the losses incurred along the way. Beat me down if you wish.
The sad thing about the SUV size=safety argument is that it is so selfish. Although size=weight=bigger bang is true if you are going to hit a mobile object (such as another car), it is better to be in a bigger car, since the smaller car will present less of an obstacle.
i.e. SUV drivers extract safety from other smaller cars. My safety is diminished because theirs is increased. It is disgusting that this arms race is not regulated properly by the government.
I can't stand taxes which are for some specific purpose. A tax is a tax. All the money should go into a big pool where it is divided as appropriate. In the same way, if it is felt that money is required in order to fund a fight against paedophillia or whatever, money should be available from existing taxes.
Sure a GPS works anywhere in the world, but only the Americas and Europe have the corrective signals that give accuracy in the sub 10 metre range. WAAS and EGNOS respectively.
I agree, however flash RAM has one advantage. The access times are an order of magnitude better. A disk takes ~10msec average, flash access times are way sub millisecond. Clearly though, in the context of a continuous file, HDDs are way faster.

I wonder if they have fixed the coil whine issue... https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/...
No.
Why wouldn't 'we' let the free market decide?
It's a neat idea, but it doesn't solve the problem of the phones themselves being transmitters!
Yup, seems like a garbage idea to me.

Given that it autocompletes, I don't see that it can be that good about removing traces of where you've been...
You haven't quite got his stance right.
From the article, he says

My two cents is,
Why not cap the _max_ price at 99 cents instead of capping the _min_ price at 25 cents.
The answer is of course, because people are greedy.
I read the bbc news pages a lot. Every time I see that Bill was involved, I just skip over. He'll write anything... as long as it is absolute garbage.
What do you mean 'according to slashdot'. There is no 'slashdot', only a bunch of people with _varying opnions_. What is so interesting about that?
*Gosh* Next thing you know they will have generic internet access over powerlines...!!!
It is a matter of history that .com exists instead of .com.us or .co.us
.tld should surely be created under the introducing country's domain.
Any new
The fact that the US based ICANN is trying to foist this on the world is what has caused so much controversy globally.
Nope. Read the article. Using 2kwh of electrical energy you can _manufacture_ 1kwh worth of hydrocarbon fuel.
I'm sorry, but have you ever tried pissed on a battery before? Electric current through my schlong is something I can do with...!!!!

Wikipedia has a great reference on the topic: Hubbert peak

I could have done that too. Just make a Robot throw a ball [easy peasy], video it, and then play the video backwards...
Down with stealth taxes!!!
It's actually 150MB/sec. Which is plenty for your needs, I assure you.

Actually, africa does not have augmentive correct signals. So in comparison to accuracy in the US they have signficantly degraded accuracy.
google for WAAS or EGNOS
See

This is a joke right? Just a rephrasing of the old "10% of statistics are incorrect" paradox?
