I guess it has nothing to do with the fact a lot of ebook cost more than the Hard Cover. That cannot be it.

It is the belief that science can solve their problems, or save their live.

Yes some people need training wheels. Others can drive a stick (or truck). I don't like the "Metro" interface but I laugh at people who cannot get it to work. The core changes to Windows 8 are great. Metro is the sour candy on top. Nelson.

Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ 1090

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 01, 2010 @05:31PM from the man-vs-channel dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The manifesto of the man holding the Discovery Channel hostage with a bomb has been released. He has fired shots and taken hostages. His main complaints are about overpopulation, religion and civilization. He wants them to avoid encouraging people to produce more 'disgusting human babies,' to get people to accept 'Malthus-Darwin science,' reject civilization and its 'disgusting religious-cultural roots,' and to stop 'ALL immigration pollution.'" The man has now been shot by police, and the hostages have been freed.

Posted by timothy on Friday February 12, 2010 @07:46PM from the transcend-batteries dept.

An anonymous reader writes "University of Michigan researchers have crammed an ARM Cortex microcontroller, a thin-film battery, and a solar cell into a package that is only 9 cubic millimeters in volume. The system is able to run perpetually by periodically recharging the on-board battery with a solar cell (neglecting physical wear-out of the system)."
