erloasMost applications that use normal capacitors charge and discharge (at least partially) the capacitor almost constantly. 2500 cycles would give this a lifespan of a minute if you are lucky. And I know cell phones are getting to be a commodity item with no long term use or value, I would...

Hmm, Nicola Tesla perfected this technology almost a century ago. He was able to drive a car around New York City from power being transmitted from inside his lab. Just goes to show new technology is not always a new idea.

I've beat that before. In high school, I played GT2 for 4 days straight. That completed almost all of the game except two endurance races, which would have tacked on another 6-12 hours.

The press release said around 600,000. Just a bit off.

This addon crashed on me last night, and I don't even have auto updates on. Go figure.

What ever happened to free markets doing their thing? If the demand for a product is there, and the government steps out of the way and does not add any barriers to entry, an entity will come about to fill the need. Big business are just looking for handouts from the government to pave the way...

I guess I'm lucky to have a quality Kmart store near my house. I have 3 walmart stores just as close, and all three remind me of walking into a low rent housing complex. They even have the junkies hanging around outside begging for spare change.

I like Kmart better than Walmart. Friendlier staff, more open registers during busy times and a generally cleaner feeling store. Of course the prices are about 10% higher at Kmart, but you get what you pay for. It is also easier to find "Made in the USA" in Kmart than Walmart. Just who do...

Four legs good. Two legs bad.

"We're gona sue even though it was her fault!" You have got to love the stupidity. Every case like this should come with the prerequisite for the plaintiff to have to get their tubes tied before the judge can hear the case. That would take the idiots out of the gene pool and keep intelligent...

Hmmm, this just reinforces my decision to buy an eepc 901a.

The music companies are sinking and are trying anything to stay afloat. The only ones that will survive are those that have the foresight to change their business model.

So does this mean they can come into my lab when I have my Tesla coil cranking out RF noise? That would suck for them. 400k volts to the head would ruin their day.

Walmart Walmart is our store; we shop there because we're poor In all seriousness, bying electronics at Walmart is only good if there is a huge sale, or you are in a pinch. Their prices are generally 10-20% higher than real electronic stores, and their inventory is normally dated. Heck, a...

There really are two issues here. First is how much unwanted contact with a government official is permissible. It sounds like Jackie had many chances to get his voice heard. The unwanted graphical content is what the senator no longer wanted emailed to him. In all fairness, talking about...
