How long before the little evil frogs rename these things to something froggie-sounding. Do I see weapon systems in the future being exported to Middle-eastern countries with embedded Lineaux?
So, if all of the programmers are being exposed to something that causes developmental and learing defects, how does that influence the software being developed? Is this why there is so much bade code?
So, if you get your raw materials for free and you do not factor in the cost of your labor, you can make biodiesel for $0.41/gal. I think I will keep my day job and buy the fuel at the pump.
It makes you marvel at how the oil companies can get the stuff out of the ground half-way around the world, ship it, refine it, ship it, distribute it, pay taxes, and still have it cost less than Perrier.
Not to mention that gasoline and diesel fumes make me want to wretch and cough, where these bio-diesel cars will make me crave greasy snacks.
This reminds me of a past discussion on/. where the data transfer rate for a 747 full of DVDs was calculated to be around 540.5 GB/s. Now you can double the throughput. (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=104971&cid=89 36861)
I wonder if Mr. Cox has read the article on the 235,000 Fewer Programmers by 2015. Maybe this is why he is getting an MBA?

No, it is not more efficient.
Most H2 generated today comes from hydrocarbons. It takes energy to reform the hydrocarbons to make H2 (with CO, CO2, etc. as the usual byproducts). This extra energy produces more H2O (and CO2).
The net result is more H2O from H2 fuel compared to the hydrocarbon fuel used directly.
Doesn't that depend on what is accomplished with the gallon? One of those ultra-lightweight cars with 25 MPG gasoline is pittiful. A Hummer H-2 with 25 MPG gasoline is an accomplishment.
This is not the fastest electric car (and I am not talking about dropping it from an airplane). There's a British group whose car did 149 MPH on its first test.
Ever since the dawn of powered flight, it has been necessary for all aircraft to carry onboard fuel - whether in the form of batteries, fuel, solar cells, or even a human "engine" - in order to stay aloft.
But a team of researchers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards, Calif., and the University of Alabama in Huntsville is trying to change that.
Then they state that:
The laser tracks the aircraft in flight, directing its energy beam at specially designed photovoltaic cells carried onboard to power the plane's propeller.
Well, how is this much different than carrying a solar cell? It is still carrying what the author describes as "onboard fuel".
The laser thing is cool, though.:-)
I wonder if Verizon is only blocking ports in certain areas.
Recently, Verizon has just pulled the plug on incoming port 80 in my area. They are also blocking incoming port 21 and a few others around here since I started DSL service with them.

"...a great book if you haven't read it."
I cant resist asking:
So how great is it if you did read it?

After all, how many people downloaded the same p0rn files to their computers?
How is this different than having suntan lotion come off in the pool?
Isn't there alot of data on that?
Geez! What are these researchers thinking about.
Then next thing you know, Exxon will be dumping oil from their tankers to mitigate "global evaporation".
How about this:
A cowboy hat that is half black and half white.
