Never mind fission or fusion. What you want is free power! This company has invented it, but isn't releasing any details or working prototypes:

I always liked the 1950's experiment where they gave an artist LSD and saw how his self portraits changed over the next 8 hours:

Did the other guy truly have internal wireless or did he have a PC card adapter? I just bought a Netgear WG511T PC card and it seems fine. Things to consider: USB 1.1 can only give you 12 Mb/sec, but 802.11g is 54 Mb/sec. So you'd better be sure your laptop has USB 2.0 ports, otherwise you're hamstr...

Dudes, they're just frackin browsers. They render web pages. While some people may be able to finagle a career out of web pages, at the end of the day it's a silly consumer technology that doesn't matter all that much. http://xkcd.com/c198.html (yes, I had this opinion before the comic!) Oh, and hap...

Good point. Let me restate: In the worst case scenario, only about 85 people (out of 1700) are still virgins I think you're making an unwarranted statistical assumption. The study says 95% of Americans have had premarital sex, but high school students are a subset of Americans. Furthermore, the old...

It's not surprising for wireless speed to be less than wired. But it depends on the speed of the router and the wireless card. If they're both 108Mbps then you should be doing better than you are. But if either one is 54Mbps then your speed isn't surprising (although not as good as it could be). Hop...

I like the one where they emulate the famous fountain from the Bellagio in Vegas:

This is probably too big for you, but I swear by mine. It's a little bulky but fits in a pocket. Probably not the kind of thing you carry around on a daily basis. http://en.petzl.com/petzl/LampesProduits?Produit=464 It measures 1.5\" x 1.5\" x 2.25\", although it only takes about half...

I actually think Birds is playing dumb to coax someone into exposing the fallacy of the slippery slope argument. Allow me to indulge him.

Unfortunately, all consumer electronics are subject to this, not just Ipods. The article does represent a bit of an...

I agree with Testi's opinion that you should learn both a striking and a wrestling art, but I might recommend karate over tai kwon do, depending on the type of karate he offers. I've taken kenpo karate, small circle ju jitsu, and tae kwon doe and found the third the least practical. In my experience...

My creative plugs in usb and is a jump drive, I use Explorer to copy files to it. (And not just music, I can copy anything.) If it can then play the music that you copied onto it using that method, I'd be interested in buying one for my next upgrade. Which player is it? I too can use my Ipod as a j...

Dear mac, My friend just bought an ipod and i've been spending about 4 hours a week making it work. To make life better for people who accidently didn't buy from creativelabs, think of the fallowing. Imagine a world where if you were to plug in a 'portable usb drive,' the media you PUT on it worked...

on water you press against the water to do that...Point being i think it only works if you have some mass to "swim" through. Exactly. Or to put it another way: you can only sail at the interface between two mediums, and these mediums need to be in motion relative to each other. Sailboats ...

So true. "Oh, there's a new Tim Burton movie coming out. I wonder what it'll be like?"

Genghis

If a bat can \"swim in air\" despite gravity, I don't see why a human couldn't move in air without gravity if he had a wing analogue (like Mobius's paddles). Not well or quickly, but he should be able to produce some movement. Treating the OP as a physics question and not a practical one.

How are you going to code the planner part? Use a heuristic-augmented SAT-planner? It's not trivial, but you can grab one of a dozen research versions.

Genghis

On topic...How bout the Creative devices? I use a Zen V Plus and it's pretty sweet. Does it have this DRM of which you speak? Hell if I know. Zen and others are fine, but I bought an Ipod for one reason only: because it had the largest capacity of any mp3 player. I wanted my entire collection on th...

I've wanted to put stuff in Jennifer Connelly since I saw her in "Career Opportunities."

re: the Ipod, I have one but I refuse to touch Itunes. Frack Itunes. I use my Ipod to play all my old CDs in the car, at the gym, at home, and at parties.

Well since MS is now vested in Novell, we can start blaming MS for SUSE problems!

I'm not sure things are as dismal as y'all are making them out to be. Conservatives still have control of the executive and legislative branches. And last I heard, the Senate was still too close to call. It could be that the only thing that changes is the House, with Republicans still controlling 3/...

Speaking of quote mining, that's what you just did to me. Or, more accurately, due to my own imprecision I accidentally misrepresented your quote's meaning. Luckily, never having actually quoted you, anyone could glean your quote's meaning since it was available in full, unedited and therefore not ...

They need to get Bryan Singer back in the driver's seat. He was not born to make Stuperman movies. He was born to make X-Men movies.

the problem isn't that what he said is incorrect Kerry said* our soldiers didn't make the most of their education -- that they're dumb. That's not merely un-PC, it's flat-out wrong. As you pointed out in your asterisk'ed comment, this isn't what he meant, but quote mining happens. Funny how the lib...

Genghis

I was also disappointed, probably because I had high hopes given the cast and director. I had the whole thing figured out pretty damn early. And I prefer not to think, so it must have been pretty obvious if I got it.

Genghis

Yeah, Kerry fraked up pretty good. Although the problem isn't that what he said is incorrect, but that saying it wasn't PC.

Happy Bday, Fritter!

Depends on what you're running from. Brown bears get me moving.

To answer your original question, the 3800+ should edge out the 820D for most uses, although the difference wouldn't make your eyes bug out. Note that both are dual core (your second to last paragraph indicated maybe you thought the 820D wasn't). It's too bad your budget can't be raised a couple hun...

whaddya whaddya electrolysis It's my understanding that the plan is not to get hyrdogen from electrolysis of water (ccb is right about the energy deficit there) but rather to extract the hydrogen from fossil fuels using a reformer. That's how we do it now. That's why Bush has pushed the hydrogen ec...

I have teacher friends (elementary) who say they're not allowed to fail students. So it's an A-D or 100%-65% scale. Yay! Everybody passes and graduates and no child is left behind!

Roid, by your logic wouldn't the person who got slightly off balance then end up shooting up a (fortuitously placed) tunnel faster and faster until he was ejected from the earth at high speed into space?
