"Iron-air batteries have an exceptionally long lifespan, estimated at over 10,000 charge/discharge cycles, which corresponds to a service life of approximately 20 to 30 years." So notably better than other battery tech. Heavy and inefficient are the downsides. Safe, cheap and long lasting are the upsides. So its good for grid batteries. Maybe even great, I'm not versed enough in the power industry to say.

"Many games are written in C++, but this requires a lot of ‘libraries’ to store information, along with a lot of man power to create them. XNA comes with a number of pre-made libraries, making it a lot easier to program with."

I thought C++, (as a well established Programming language) would have more libraries than XNA, which I had not previously heard of?

Comment A question of distribution. (Score 1) 287

The material in question was too widely distributed to be considered secure. We can assume that any non-US intelligence agencies that really wanted copies has them. (Diplomatic cables are probably not as useful as technological, commercial and military secrets) Now the press has them and it's an issue?
