storing more energy without making them larger would be great.

Just judging from the headline, which I assume is an accurate summary.
- cut out some plywood enclosure for your raspi or arduino.
- try to etch some copper off a pcb while looking at the reflection.
- mount it on a quad copter and shoot around in the neighborhood, then post it on youtube.
- try building a projector and accidentally burn down city hall.
So... how was it that women's brains were "wired" for programming from 1940 to 1985 [1], but suddenly around 1990 they stopped being interested in "coding" and "IT"?

There's the problem, right on the launch page.
All Germs come from Germany. That's why they're called Germs.
It's the other way around: There are many germs in Germany. That's why it's called Germany
Face it, God hates fags.

They're Neanderthals, despite the fact that 'tal' is the German word that it's based on.
Thal is the older German spelling of Tal, meaning valley. Both are pronounced the same, with t not th. It simply means Neander valley. The Valley is now called Neandertal, but my uncle kept his original name.
Currently Slashdot is displaying ads for me along with the "disable ads" checkbox checked. Perhaps "approximate computing" is farther along than I imagined!
Sorry, that was my fault. I didn't have my ad-block disabled. They must have sent them to you instead.
Just send them to me and I will look at it.
Not to mention the whole reason Apple Inc., was named that was because Jobs was a huge Beatles fan (well, Apple Computer, Inc. originally). And that Jobs and Woz couldn't come up with anything better.
That's not the true story of course:
Once upon a time, Steve Jobs was sitting under an apple tree to think, as he usually did, about how to make life better for all of humanity. When all of a sudden he got hit by an apple.

There's a reason tombstones are still big-ass etched stones, and not digital displays, you know.
Gosh, you might just have stumbled on the next big thing.
You know these annoyingly bright, giant, color led displays along the highway? Imagine that integrated into a tombstone, showing the dearly departed smiling and waiving and if someone walks by, serving them with some ads: "Don't do what I did. Call a qualified electrician."

"The Register is hosting an exclusive that Bruce Schneier (the famed cryptologist http://www.schneierfacts.com/ ) will be leaving his position at BT as security futurologist."
Looks like the editors wanted to change it around a bit ?
Here, fixed that for you.
