Finally, maybe we'll get a good battery technology after all.

The folks at MIT have figured out how to make "ultra" capacitors (which just sounds to me like "extra-spiffy" capacitors) small enough to be a replacement for chemical batteries. Imagine a battery with a lifetime of a decade or more that has enough zap to start your car. Small enough, with a capacitor's ability to discharge, and you're also talking a practical self-defense tool too. Pulse-discharge bullets, anyone? :o)

Good article on Iran

the 'Nuff Said Dept. on the Cartoon War

OMR hits it on the head, again

Chris at One Man's Rage hits the nail on the head once again as to why the muslim world sucks. Kow-towing to these guys is going to turn Europe into a cesspool. Unfortunately, I don't see any Churchills out there who're willing not to lie down and let these guys give 'em the shank. It's enough to make you start to think banning religions could be a good thing.
