The next big thing would be that we'll be using teleportation to get from one place to another
The next big thing would be that we'll be using teleportation to get from one place to another
Have you read Larry Niven's "Theory and Practice of Teleportation" ?
Perhaps biochemistry will explode.
Then we can all have flying horses, plants that produce our electricity, and living items that grow stronger with time and recover from injuries.
Here's the abstract & an article,
Like a turbo-charged buggy-whip, this is a substantial incremental improvement to a crummy technology. There are lots of lithium battery varients, w/ vanadium and metal hydrides, phosphates, perhaps Li-S is among the best.
Here is the deal with electro-chem cells energy density ...
720 kJ/kg - commercial lithium ion batteries
9360 kJ/kg - theoretical limit of Li-S cells (Waterloo cells
are about 1/4th this IICC)
So the theoretical limit (which is certainly impractical) is only 13 times better than practical Li-ion batteries. There are already small laptop powering fuel cells around 2700 kJ/kg and larger fuel cells can be highly efficient. These could approach something like 100,000 kJ/kg. There are other issues besides power density wrt battery and fuel cell technology. The cells are currently very expensive, but that isn't a fundamental problem.
For massive power storage, like for grid power storage, efficiency of the storage is the biggest issue. Internal resistance losses and small number of recharge cycles make any lithium battery unacceptable.
Don't get me wrong - Li-S cells might be a great improvement in hybrid vehicles, but fuel cells with some battery storage will eventually leave electro-chem cells in the dust I think. See the Honda FCX, 107HP, 267 mile range. The hurdle is driving the fuel cell membrane & tank cost down.
very yummy bits. Thx stevea
I just thought of something recently. Anyway:
I've been using the Win7 RC recently and I personally think it sucks. It may be technically superior to Vista, in that compatibility and performance has been greatly improved, and it might be more secure, but it does nothing to resolve the traditional Windows problems: Microsoft is absolutely positive that you are an idiot and treats you as such, and you can only actually make rough changes to the configuration.
I think this is a bit related because Microsoft is going out of it's way to create a multimedia/home OS, something where the "prettiness" of the interface comes before and frequently interferes with the functionality of the OS.
IMHO, I see this as a pathetic by Microsoft to hold on to whatever corporate desks they can, but I can't believe that such a big company could be so stupid. A lot of people say we haven't had the real computer revolution yet, and that got me thinking.
We have had two computer revolutions so far:
The first revolutionized the way we do business.
The second revolutionized the way we communicate.
Perhaps the third will be a social revolution. Web apps are going crazy, with all this facebook, twitter and pandora stuff. Maybe in the near future everyone will have internet access in the US ('bout damn time) at home and in their pocket, and we can all carry pretty devices to do nice stuff.
In short, the next big thing will be the overdue death of television and crappy, single sided programming.
im down with the rest of what you said but i can relate to this. Win7 is officially removed from my computer to the degree that i shat on the disk. Does anyone else find the start menu they brought in from vista to be annoying as hell?
They create a restrictive OS. The idea is to tell you what to use your computer for. it will face the same adoption issues as vista I predict.
Actually you know what, im going to spoof the ad's they putting out here. "im a PC and im 6 years old". Well they have made it very clear that the target audience is 6 year olds. I'll do the same thing and just be like, "im a linux user and im 18 years old".
very related. The fall of microshaft would be a very big thing .

Comments about Carhartt B73 Logger Jeans Darkstone Denim:
i bought these for my son who does alot of outside carpentry and contracting work. They are great fit, comfortable and don't seem to wear out. They are great. I wish I had them when I was able to do this work. Great job Carhart and great price Gemplers...
Great fit, wear like iron.
By Harold
from Seattle area
Good fit, and wear like iron. They are bit long in the leg & do take extra long to dry in the dryer due to the double thick legs. These are great for working or for riding the motorcycle in colder weather.
Best Jeans, well built

About Me working man
Tough and comfortable jeans that wear well and protect the legs against abrasions. Good for crawling around a stone wall, cutting firewood and brush, and doing farm work.

Witness some of the sickest, bloodiest, most violent matches in IWA-DS history. See the match, that got us kicked out of the Wetumpka Armory a year before the infamous "shut down" Death Match tournament. See the match between Brandon Prophet/Diehard, that got the first DM tournament shut down. See Dysfunction get legit knocked out, and almost lose a thumb. Watch as Drake Younger almost loses his ear. The infamous "eye" incident between Ian Rotten and Freakshow. The one that got the world buzzing, the SAW match between John Rare, and Spidar Boodrow, and so much more.

Small pieces of feces, that cling to the ass like nobody's business. Usually caused by ass hair that grabs hold and doesn't wanna let go of the shit piece.
I wiped my ass, I went in the front yard during the afternoon and sprayed my ass with the hose, and still those pesky cling-ons are still there, my only last resort is to burn them off.

little pieces of faeculent matter that get caught in hair whilst defaecating. Usually in men with particularly hairy arses.
I took a very relaxing dump, but spent a while cleaning up due to the presence of multiple cling ons that arose.
