I think you're a little confused as to what wind turbines actually do. They are not turning under their own power, therefore they do not *generate* any wind.

In your scenario, each time you place a turbine behind another one, it gets progressively wind energy, because the turbine in front is consuming some of the wind energy.

If a turbine was produced just as much wind energy as it consumed, then we could indeed setup an underground torus with turbines feeding each other and end up with a real perpetual motion engine. But the law of physics dictate otherwise.

Or a prism. But black hole is good.

"Purdue's carbon nanotubes could *trump* heat sinks"

From the article content it sounds like the nano-tubes work in conjunction with the heat sink by replacing traditional thermal bonding compounds such as Arctic Silver. So no trumping would occur!

Not really. Nintendo is doing exceptionally well, but they are doing so in a completely different space than XBox360 and PS3 operate in. Not that that's a bad thing. Far from it in fact.

I think $400 is a good price point for a $40GB model *IF* they start releasing good games for it. Hopefully the price cut will get a few more sales and attract some developers.

It's gonna be real hard for Sony to get out of the catch-22 they put themselves in. (No developers without gamers, no gamers without developers).

I really hope they do though. We need some *real* competition for the 360 to help *all* of us get better value and quality.

640GB is plenty of space for many applications. The point of this product is speed, not size.

Jesse. It's you who needs to learn to read *and* comprehend.

The Government has no rights to tell you what you do with your car if you drive it on private land. You do *NOT* need insurance to drive on private land. You do *NOT* need a drivers license to drive on private land. And they sure as hell don't have the right to tax you per mile when you drive on *PRIVATE* land.

Please do go move to Switzerland. God knows we don't need any more retards like you here.

The idling is a very good point. They'll probably just end up taxing you per mile *and* per gallon, because they can't/won't be able to think of a better way.

I don't see how this is legal. The Government cannot tax you for how many miles you drive, *only* how many miles you drive on State roads. If this plan is implemented, you'll be paying the government for the privilege of driving on private roads also.
