Which has absolutely nothing to do with the subject. The article is well worth reading. What's kept NA-ion batteries away is that their anodes only last 20 cycles. They solved the problem with wood fibers covered with carbon nanotubes, and these can stand hundreds of cycles.

Again, TFA is worth reading.

Now waiting for the inevitable "that article gave me wood" joke...

We have the internet now, but thanks to the NRA our candle is a searchlight pointing at us. Vote Libbie or Green!

How, when both of the only two parties the corporate media dare mention are both all for a surveillance state? Remember, a vote for a candidate who doesn't want your loved ones in jail for pot and doesn't want a police state (e.g., Green and Libertarian, both on enough ballots to win) is a wasted vote? All the newspapers and TV stations agree, we need to have a surveillance state and we need to jail your loved ones!

And nobody seems to realize how stupid their vote is, corporate media keep us in the dark.

Both words are synonyms. Waterboarding is neither immersion nor submersion. With waterboarding the victim is made to think he's immersed/submerged but he's getting water poured on him. It's the difference between Catholic baptism and Protestant baptism.

Not a bad joke, though.

So...

Is it not OK that the NSA is doing, but OK that MIT is doing it?

There is no such thing as "correct" English.

You be writin' in Ebonics in a college English class an' see what da mofuggin teacha say about it, foo.

Spoken English is not written English. Double negatives always parse as positives when written.

Further proof that Slashdot has gone completely to the dogs; vindication. There was no "auto landing". It was pilot error. It was the exact scenario I posted earlier... and I get modded down while the trolls and shit heads take +5s...

Skip the regergitated article and go strait to the press release to see the map, and a video (and a link to the paper if you have access or are willing to pay $30).

(cringes at typo) Okay, it's not anonymous money exactly, but it is money that can be traded without being associated with a real world identity. As far as "dealers" and "drugs", that's separate -- bitcoin is popular because it's resistant to seizure -- once a sale is made, the government has to seize the account it currently resides in. It can't simply go to a bank, serve a warrant, and say, "all your base are belong to us." A far cry from, say, Paypal or any other financial service. And large amounts of cash now is considered evidence of drug dealing even when no drugs are found, and can (and have) been seized.

Resistant doesn't mean immune. Bitcoin is resistant to all of these problems. Now, as far as drug dealers and such go -- they're using Tor and hidden services. bitcoin naturally extends this because it is hard to seize, and you can't simply serve a warrant to say, PayPal. There is no central authority for serving warrants to seize the accounts of bitcoin owners -- you have to get the computer, or you get nothing.
