There is no way a flying car can use a reasonable amount of energy. Giving this to all the civilians in the US will cripple the environment for certain.
The US should give money to DARPA - but why not instead something a little more holistic, low cost energy (limit the need for resource-competition, avoid the "war" problems in the first place)
Realistically IE is still leading - when you add up all the IE and FF versions Microsoft is still at 50% dominance, FF trailing with 32%.
Plus once Chrome gets a foothold it will sweep up the ranks (eating up the FF share), it loads in half the time of FF.
You can't claim victory until the fat lady sings.

Perhaps what you are trying to say is that it is not the fundemental frequency, but a harmonic =). Either way. 2.5GHz is still *a* resonant frequency of water?

In addition microwaves operate at 2.4Ghz, resonant frequnecy of water. 884Mhz would have less effect on people at the same wave form amplitude/power.
90% of posts in this forum are irrelevant from people who have no idea how a memory card works!!!!
The article is about *memory cards* using NAND gates. Overwritting the data 20x wont make a gorran difference from the 2nd time its over written! Thats only on HARD DISKS with residual electronic fields. Nand's dont use fields, they use logic:)
The program mentioned is a simple windows header undelete.
I couldnt be bothered setting up SpamAssassin on my server so just forwarded all 100+ emails a day to Gmail where it filters. It was a fast, 0-effort, way to get effective spam prevention. Plus with 2.7gb I dont think I'll run out of legit space anytime soon.
I think it would be a fairly easy hardware-software job to make non-volitile ram. I used to buy NV-ram chips with built in batteries, would allow instant computer boot ups.
Bringing together uTorrent's efficient implementation and compelling UI with BitTorrent's expertise in networking protocols will significantly benefit the community with what we envision will be the best BitTorrent client.'
I don't know how many normal people you know, but the average idiot can't be stopped. Click once, click twice, ignore dozens of UPPERCASE warnings, they will STILL install malware on their PC's.

Anyone else misread the title as "Navy Scientists Develop Laser for Underwear Communication"?
But the lack of oil make them much less interesting ;)
Ahh my personal favourite unit of power measurement - "How many LED's can it power". Lets log that one with Horse Power and Coulombs.
You haven't been to university recently... its 90% presentation, 10% inspiration. That said, charging by the hour would push me to open source...
Possibly, highschool physics has led people astray before =)

100% certainty that 10 people sample-set is too little for a Yes-No experiement.
very insightful. I am curious though, what is your religious bais?
You guys are so closed mined, they're gunna to send the all the interwebs over the airwaves-tubes. Easy. Brilliant I rekon

Or perhaps tackle the real problem. People. Why not manufacture 1000 busses at $1.50 per ride. Car's are the psychological bane of humanity.

Made a ID card system for a laboratory which you needed to place hand on sensor. If your card was wrong/forged it gave you an electric shock. =)
Don't forget Vietnam. The will of the people counts alot regardless of superior technology.
