The Fukushima rods would indirectly charge anything very fast. But they won't die any time soon, unfortunately.

Instead of that ugly one, you may get something that gives an exact value, like this one. A new iPhone/iPad expects 2A, the MacBook (10W) expects also 10/5 = 2A.

The Moon side facing us (unlike the other side) is riddled with craters that may have appeared around that time (~-65My). A big chunk of the ejected rocks on Earth may simply have landed on the Moon.

Hmmm yes, again I submitted too fast. The logic hidden behind my comment was that since the hp48 looks oldish, and since exam people never ever saw a hp48 in their (usually young) life, and thus don't know about these 'complex and powerful features', they'll let the wolf into the fold.

Why the HP 48[SG]X would be not welcomed? it has this oldish look (well, it's pretty old actually) that hides complex and powerful features [besides programming, I like the fractional to quotient feature, the PI as a logical entity, undo, RPN, stack, extendable ... ].

Get a triumph adler. If it's still not welcomed, then try a slide rule.

They're gonna sell 6.25 times more anyway, thanks to iPhones and the like.

Unfortunately it won't any time soon. The reason? MS Office, and its billions of unmaintainable macros that keep most companies from being able to switch to something else. Sad, but true.

We finally found the most boring poll ever.

On the contrary, it will work. That will give an even more legitimate excuse to stop/arrest/interrogate/annoy/... anyone anywhere "that was identified thanks to a - sorry - yet inaccurate facial recognition technology".

Troll? I thought Slashdot readers are mature enough to rate that as Funny.

He likes Back to the Future, and Batman, that's for sure.

Some applications are made for XP or even for older OSes, ok. But IE is a browser... It is meant to browse and view the Internet world.
Considering IE6 to be mandatory on a PC because its upgrade would cost an arm and a leg, ok - but in this case, companies should allow a modern browser, eg chrome, to be installed and used for anything other than that medical application.

Of course. And I'm glad to hear such news, IE9 upgrade to be encouraged... But there are still many companies using IE7, or even the unfamous IE6.
In what world do they live?
