My Asus A6VA had ~2 hours of battery with win 2003 Server or XP. Two months after I installed Win 7 all I get is roughly 20~30 minutes.
Bastards!

Same thing here on my Asus A6Va. The battery now holds ~37%.

Shirley!

Sorry. I am so sorry. I'll leave now. So sorry.

Are implying M&M's are Mars droppings?
That was totally uncalled for.

They do close to nothing.

I...I am so... sorry. I'll leave now.

And it took you 1200 parsecs to figure that out?

*sigh*

To the non Portuguese-speaking:
Parent made a typo on the "how much money" link. Correct link is: here

Bookmarked! :)
godspeed!

I wasn't aware of this kind of open real time satellite tracking. (I'll promptly forfeit my geek privileges on my way out).
Assuming it's dependable and that it is a comprehensible and complete Database, how did the recent satellite collision was allowed to take place in the...er... first place? IANARS but I'm guessing you could code some kind of early-warning-collision-system with that kind of data.

OR... the cutty sark is has me done me wrong after dinner without ice no ice? the pain.

But does it give a report on the rare metals mined in deep Africa needed to build it?

The geek-factor on one of these is huge and I'd be all over it like a prussian woodpecker over a Louis XIII Antique Chair, but all this greenness only makes sense to those willing to ignore the un-greenness of the whole manufacturing process.

Bah. Why don't they just strap a mini gas turbine?

I hear you...

I propose one of these!

Saw you yesterday on National Geographic! :)

At least one of my ideas got stolen by a professor of mine back in 94. He did some moonlighting for a private learning center I had the chance to visit a few years after he was my teacher.
I recognized my interface and asked what it was... it seems my teacher "custom designed" the application for them... and made some good money on the process. The bastard.

There was another incident, a year or two later, involving a major soft-drink brand who had one of those stylish mid 90's interactive stand which looked suspiciously like one of my projects. My teacher, who did some freelancing on the side, said I was crazy and that I could prove nothing. The bastard.

These were small projects... nothing worth patenting.
