This is old... I'm not sure about being ols SlashDot news, but it is old news in general. I saw programs about this EXACT turbine on the History Channel about 6 years ago.
What people should spend the research dollars on is trying to figure out why people keep recycling old news as 'new' news and figure out how to put that to an end. *THEN* they can proceed with whatever they want.
They could also be very strong, given their egg shape. That would make them great for the leading edges of certain types of probes and other-pressure/impact-prone devices.
Does that include powering up the A/C at full blast, stereo, power windows, and all of the auxiliary systems while carrying 15,000 lbs. uphill at 55 miles per hour? I think not. I hate it when every single innnovation gets branded as something that will be as much a breakthrough to the automotive industry as the oven has been to the baking industry.
In the future, can I get a government voucher to send my Jedi kid to school at the Jedi Temple, or will I still have to take out a massive loan and have him keep living at home with his parents?
I dunno, but the idea of Jedi keg parties give me the financial heebie-jeebies.
The Colt 1911A might knock a Cabbage Patch doll off of it's feet, but not a person. Unless you were hit with a.50 cal. round fired from a barrel about 4 feet long and the target individual were stuffed with hay, then it probably would do that. There is a difference between 'dropping' someone and 'knocking them off their feet'. The 1911A was desgned as a reliable, combat pistol, *NOT* to "knock people off their feet". BTW, a 1911A might knock a dog off it's feet, but not a person and that is not what it was designed for.
Here is an Amendment GUARANTEED to weed out lazy lawmakers, and is a better use of their time:
ALL Legislators and elected officials are REQUIRED to work 40-hour work weeks. Each work day begins at 8:00AM (0800 hours) and ends at 5:00PM (1700 hours) that same day. A work week will be defined as beginning at 12:01AM (0001 hours) Monday and ending at 11:59 (2359 hours) Friday of that same 5-weekday period. Weekdays are defined as being Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Employment attendance will be verified though the use of initialed, signed, and secure computer-printed timecards that are to be used prior to the start of each workday. Legislators and elected officials will be salaried, and forbidden from organizing and/or forming unions. Due to the responsibilities owed to the public regarding the functionality of government and National Security, vacation time with be limited to two weeks paid-vacation per calendar year. Healthcare is to be provided through State medical and health programs. Transportation, and all related financial responsibilities (with the exception of security) related thereto is the responsibility of the Legislator, with adequate security to be provided by the State and at no personal expense to the legislator. All increases or decreases in earnings must be approved by a public measure. Such measures are to be included on the ballot, during normal (non-special) elections. in the form of a measure, to be approved or rejected by eligible voters. All powers of the legislature to determine income of legislators are hereby revoked and transferred to the Citizens. Initial salaries will begin at U.S.$75,000. Salary increases can be no greater than U.S.$5,000 per 18-month period.
If they passed this, I wouldn't care as much about how insecure the voting methods are, just as long as they earn their keep. Whoever earns their wages through actual hard work gets my vote.
Slimy hairy layers, money, lawsuits, fame.....Is Lau a Californian? Maybe Red China is taking a lesson in making money from Red California - Claim that every negative remark made about you is a lie, and sue everybody who doesn't like or agree with you.
Wow, I though China just had everybody who spoke against them dragged into the street and shot. I guess the profitability of moving from executions to lawsuits finally got through to them. Red China taking tips from Red California? Yikes!
I want to give credit to the individual who uses this as his sig, but I forgot his SlashDot User name, so I apologize for not listing their name. I think this is PERFECT for the situation at hand: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, sue." - SlashDot user (ID forgotten)
WHO is ACTUALLY causing the pollution? Building cars causes a FRACTION as much pollution as the people who DRIVE THEIR CARS AND BURN THE FUEL! Suing the "Big, Evil, Corporations" (sooooo scary! Eek!) for pollution is alot easier and voter-friendly than doing the correct thing and pointing the finger at his constituents.
Well, I figured after those three big bowls of Chili con Carne that I had over at Pedro's Taco Barn would have nailed my name on the list of those responsible for global warming. This frivolous (and by frivolous, it is also illegal in California) lawsuit will not, and SHOULD NOT go anywhere. If Attorney General Bill Lockyer wants fresh air, he should pull his head out of his ass.
California, and Californians in general, will sue anybody who causes them any degree of inconvenience. The whole state ought to be shuttered up and sold. Oh wait... it already has. Next thing you know, we will be addressing fellow Californians as 'Comrade!'.
Ture... I had heard about many problems with this kind of lock. The worst kind that I heard of was the 6 year old who managed to unlock her father's rifle cabinet without consciously trying to "pick" the lock in the first place - sort of an accidental "lock pick". The girl's father, amazed at what she did, tried to duplicate her efforts, and succesfully did so. He called the company and they wre more than eager to solve the problem, including immediately sending out senior engineers to his house to get some firsthand experience, including interviewing the girl and her father about what they had discovered about the lock. The immediate response of the company was definitely appropriate, since the locks were installed on cabinets used for securing firearms. (I almost bought one of these to keep my guns in!). What's more is that they recalled ALL of the cabinets and replaced the locks with a different kind of lock (I believe it was the cylinder-type lock that has the cylindrical key), and they paid for it all.
I wonder what kind of response Diebold gave when they recieved word about this. I seriously doubt that it was as expedient as the company mentioned above - I forgot the name of it.).
By the way, I don't know much about Diebold, except they make voting machines and safes. However, the morons that keep posting conspiracy theories such as: "The many broken Diebold problems in so many ways make it clear that Diebold's execs have nothing but contempt for voting. Why do they hate America [google.com]?" ( posted by Doc Ruby (173169) ) need to get a life. Not every negative event has coverup and/or is some sort of conspiracy theory. Grow up and get a life. It is a human-designed system. The only coverup going on is to hide crappy, lazy, slip-shod engineering that is in a critical part of the election system that holds this country together. Period. Conspiracy theories (like the example above) are only for crackpots too mentally weak to rationally understand anything on their own, or don't want to make the effort to.
These engineers ought to be hung out to dry, and some serious restructuring needs to happen. I mean, like terminating those responsible, and promoting those who tried to raise the issue, but were told to shut up. No "resigning to avoid being fired" - I mean, send them home without pay. Total forfeiture of benefits, pensions, 401(k)...the works. This is simply bad engineering. There is a difference between a gun canbinet and a voting machine. Gun cabinets are just welded steel boxes with a simple lock on the door. The locks are bought by the thousands in bulk because they do one simple thing: Keep the cabinet door closed. They are really simple boxes that just allow a gun owner to keep their firearms from view, and to keep kids away from them. Voting machines HIGH PROFILE TARGETS. Everybody knows what is in them and everybody knows where they are. Agun cabinet iss an innocuous green box stuffed in the basement, garage, or back of the closet.
Seeing as how Diebold has been ignorant of the problems that are arising in their HIGH PROFILE VOTING MACHINES, they shoud figure out who, exactly, (conspiracy theorists need to shut up) is responsible and make sure hey are never allowed to work with anything more complex than a Lego brick.
Hmmm..... I would think that the term "Blue Screen Of Death" would make a soldier shiver more than the term "Open". Or, maybe even the image of a "Dead Macintosh" (the picture of the Mac Classic with a zig-zag line that goes diagonally across the screen) would be enough to make them shudder in fear as well.
I nominate PC World as the dumbest site on the web. They actually spent time researching and compiling a list with absolutely no practical use. Ok, if they are going to make fun of the people who thought up these sites, why don't they include the two chair jockeys that wasted time compiling this? Like there was nothing better to do? By the way, although these are pretty dumb sites, they overlook the fact that the site operators/creators are making *much* more money with their "dumb" ideas than are the people who worked on compiling the list, who evidently thought that the list was a good idea. Kinda ironic.
By the way, I don't buy into the whole "MySpace Popularity" thing at all, but if it is such a dumb idea, how come the two creators have made $$$,$$$,$$$ off of it? If someone was making that much off of a "bad idea", maybe it wasn't sucvh a bad idea in the first place. Maybe wasting otherwise productive time compiling a list calling multimillion dollar website bad ideas was the read bad idea. Maybe the lists' creators' only MySpace friend is Tom.
However, I *will* concede that some of the websited really were idiotic (read: Neuticles), but you should take into account the fact that if they manage to stay in business, then maybe they are actually making money off of a dumb idea, and that deserves some thought.
If a spammer sends you spam, and is refusing to own up to it, can you DoS his server and wait for him to go to the authorities, just so you can get him in an arrestable situation for the spam? I mean, it would be pretty funny to get him to tell the judge you did it in retaliation for the porno spam he sent you.
I know it's risky, but I think retaliatory hacking and cyberwarfare is justified, provided you can present adequate documentation and research verifying the targets actions, against spammers. It's cheap, if free for the government, since the public it doing the work for them, and they take out spammers without having to spend millions taking them out themselves one by one. Plus, it think it would be very satisfying, like many other things, to be able to fry the server of a spammer, inconveniencing them, and costing them money instead of letting them profit from their flagrant public nusuince and greed.
The advertising is misleading, since the CPU ACTUALLY CONTAINS CARBON WITHIN IT. Do they think that we are idiots? This CPU is not carbon-free, it only reduces the amount of energy used by the processor. I guarentee that if I got one of these CPU's, I could find carbon in it, so it would be deceptive and fraudulent to label it "Carbon-Free". A finished CPU still contains carbon from many possible sources: Residual photoresist, solder flux, thermally conductive adhesives, chip protection expoxies, PCB mounting boards, and residues from solvents used in the manufacturing process. The logic that they use in their justification of labeling, marketing, and selling the CPU as "carbon-free" is a bastardization of basic human thought and common sense. Just like "alcohol-free" beer still contains alcohol.
Hmmm..... I wonder..... If I buy one of these CPU's, clearly labeled "carbon-free", and I find carbon in it, am I entitled to a refund?
This is very reminiscent of the massive media circus that happened about 10 years ago when ASCAP, )American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) tried to sue the Girl Scouts so they would stop singing "Happy Birthday", because it was a song that they (supposedly) owned the copyrights too.
There should be a point where patents should no longer apply, when it comes to this type of thing. Being able to maintain copyrights to a true creation, especially a tangible invention (machinery, materials, compounds, chemicals, etc.) is different, and a hell of a lot more important that phoney-baloney patents on every bit of data under the Sun.
Patenting methods, i.e. Amazon.coms "One-Click" thing, Friendster's patent on social networking methods, and other procedural/methodical crap IS NOT an invention. Labeling a method as a service IS NOT an invention. Also, things that are ubiquitous to society should not be patentable, or at the very least, under VERY SPECIFIC PATENTS. For example, I could dig up a ton of iron ore on my privately owned land, smelt a bunch of iron ore, turn it into liquid iron, and pour it into a mold of an iron bar, then I have created an iron bar, and it would then be patented as an "Original Work". Then, I can claim that I invented this iron bar, and that future replicas and likenesses are imitations of my original creation/work (Yes, technically, I did "create" the iron bar) and that I am entitled to royalties. (Man, I would have the construction and metal industries screwed to the wall! $$$) and that I am therefore entitled to royalties. This, sadly, is what the Patent concept is turning into. It's a giant Rugby scrum, but instead of a rugby ball, it's money.
Lawsuits are the brain cells of desperate individuals.
Ok... if you patent a GM crop, then, yes, you can own the patent. BUT, you must realize that if your seed becomes intermingled and/or cross pollinates with plants whose seeds you did not engineer or are not GM, then you are out of luck. You should not be able to sue every farmer whose crop your GM patented gene shows up in. Biology is not the same as machinery...it is alive. If you don't like it, then you are in the wrong business, because you will never be able to meep 10 0% control over your crop and its pollination. If you don't want your work to show up in other fields, then YOU MUST bear the entire cost of constructing, operating, and maintaining a fully-closed agricultural system.
P.S.: I would greatly appreciate any of Monsanto's GM seed that was accidentally dropped off of their trucks. If it fell of their trucks, then it can legally be considered abandoned and relinquished of any ownership, and is therefore, fair game as salvaged property. I want only verifiably abandoned seeds, or information where I can pick up some of these seeds, either off of roadsides, or of farmers whose fields have become accidentally populated by these seeds. It would be *MUCH* appreciated!
Maybe now I will have the ability to put all of my excess computing power into figuring out why women are the way they are instead of searching for extraterrestrial intelligence...............oh wait.....

They could also be very strong, given their egg shape. That would make them great for the leading edges of certain types of probes and other-pressure/impact-prone devices.
Meanwhile, the only details that they ahve disclosed is that it is the size of an Eggo waffle.
.....and most importantly.....
Questions:
Power Consumption?
Heat?
Size?
COST?!?!?!
Efficiency to justify and astronomical cost?
Does that include powering up the A/C at full blast, stereo, power windows, and all of the auxiliary systems while carrying 15,000 lbs. uphill at 55 miles per hour? I think not. I hate it when every single innnovation gets branded as something that will be as much a breakthrough to the automotive industry as the oven has been to the baking industry.

So, how much longer do I have to wait for the Hi-Res porn to arrive on the market?
