It's the simplest life form, and so very, very plentiful.

I just happened to see it listed as a new project, and as I've done Audio Description in the past, it peaked my interest. Saddened that it hasn't garnered much support but maybe it's because others don't have confidence in the tech/implementation.

Though it's not got much support as yet (I am a backer).

No, I was including humans, and aliens. We're just intelligent meat. Maybe some aliens are intelligent pudding.

is probably fair game. Doesn't mean everyone is going to want to eat it...at that point it's personal preference (or what you're used to/were brought up with).

Thanks. I've learned something, and yes, this was much easier than Googling. Now I just have to Google to find out if you're blowing smoke up my kilt or not.

But, seriously....thanks!

Thank-you for pointing out my spelling mistake.

I know nothing about electricity other than the fact that AC and DC are different, so feel free to mod this down.

Assuming that our DC sources of electricity are already somewhat efficient, why don't we just have other things that use that current be DC as well?

It would seem that inverters loose some "energy" in the conversion process, which is why we need this Google like X Prize to develop something more efficient...so taking them out of the equation seems like it would be a good idea.

Is it just that we're so used to designing electronics etc. to use AC, or are there other benefits? and, if so, then why not put effort into designing AC sources of electricity?

Subject line says it all.

Headline should have been: "Scientists gets Cocaine"

These are supposed to be technical people, but their email list subscription system doesn't work... It's happy to send me an email, but denies that my email address is in the system. Very disappointing. Makes me wonder how well they're going to be spending the SuperPAC money if their own systems work no better than anyone else's.

Feb. 27th, Revolution had code scrolling on the screen (yes they were debugging at light speed), but they stopped at a C function that did actually have a runtime bug that matched the story line (an unused/released C malloc). The only thing that spoiled it was that the same statement was missing a semi-colon, so the code wouldn't have actually compiled in the first place.
Oh well...it was nice to see some code that did actually match what the characters were babbling about...even if there were other things that they did that didn't make any sense what-so-ever to someone who actually understood what they were seeing on the computer screen.

I store the secret questions & answers in my KeePass file, and I make sure to use suitably different answers from the questions being asked, so there's no correlation between the two...they're like additional passwords.

We're a small shop...everyone wears many hats. They don't always fit, but we try to look fashionable :)

And their ever changing specifications, indecisiveness, lack of comprehension of the time it takes to implement, then re-implement something, and their general reluctance to pay once it's done.
