... to have the on board electrolyzer. You would have to think of the whole system as a rechargeable battery as opposed to immediately thinking of it as a perpetual motion machine. You plug your car in overnight, which generates the hydrogen for your next trip/commute. In the morning you unplug and have some hydrogen to go. You don't need a combustion engine, just your standard fuel cell + electric motor. I suppose you could add in a large solar panel roof to produce a little extra hydrogen on the go and when parked. By having it onboard you gain the ability to "charge" your car anywhere where there is power./patent pending + copyrighted +.... + ????:-b

Archos 605 WiFi Hacked

I am so glad this happened - Archos should be happy too! I bought an Archos 605 during the boxing week specials since I heard that it runs linux under the hood. I was EXTREMELY disappointed when I found out that I could not run any third party apps, especially my own and I was about to return the device ASAP (no returns allowed during boxing week). However, now that the device has been opened up, I am definitely NOT returning it! I am suddenly thrilled with my purchase and I am thinking about BUYING ONE MORE UNIT if I can find another good deal on it! Thats right! I want another one - one as a media player, and another as a linux PDA! What a great little toy it will be! So Archos... if you want more people like me to support you - don't close the unit up. Open it up and allow for modding. You will loose nothing but gain a wider customer base.
(As a side note, a compromise could have easily have been accomplished by Archos by giving an unsupported firmware that opens up the unit but wipes out all the DRM support so no loss there for anyone who wants an open device and does not want to use it for buying/renting media. But honestly, when it comes to DRM, as we all know it doesn't deter the pirates but hurts legitimate users.)
The same can be said for a lot of other things. You can't sense natural gas, it can kill you, so what do we do? We add a rotten smell to it so that we can detect it. The same is true for radiation. We can't detect it by ourselves, but we can *easily* use sensors to detect it!
And what can us consumers do about it? If we refuse it, we don't get updates. This is punishing us the legit users, while pirates will still be laughing at M$'s latest attempt at stamping them out!
I think many people here have a misconception that resistive heating is 100% efficient. IT IS NOT! - Yes, it does convert 99.99% of the energy into heat, but there are more efficient ways to generate heat - the HEAT PUMP. If you were to hook up a huge peltier to the bottom of a hot water tank and place a giant heatsink rod into the ground, the pelter would PUMP heat from the ground into the water in addition to all the extra heat that is generated by the peltier.
Em. I don't get it. Who says the the company has to agree to the eula to look at it? If the spyware company declines the eula agreement they are not bound to it and as a result the proggy is not installed. How does that restrict they spyware company from analyzing the binaries present in the setup program? Decompress the archive and create a fingerprint done!

... because the phone company would have to provide the legitimate string. Simple solution, make it illegal for phone companies to spoof caller id.

So, how long will it take for this guy to be reprimanded for space war driving of satellites ?
