The dual shock design has always been a poor re-design of the original Dual Analog Pad for the PS1. They re-designed it seemingly to cut out the cost of additional plastic, and those changes were kept for the Dual Shock, Dual Shock 2, SixAxis and Dual Shock 3. The DAP was comfortable, the Dual Shock never was. Nonetheless, it's a better controller than the Xbox 360 for 2D game that use the d-pad. It's a far worse controller for anything that uses analog. The 360 controller is almost perfect, my only complaint with it is the d-pad which is difficult to use, but there's really no solution I can think of other than having 2 different controllers, one for analog and one for digital.
What they don't tell you is:

a.) this has been done before, I used to work at a facility that has been doing it for years: http://www.lle.rochester.edu/

b.) 500 trillion watts for 1 nanosecond would be equal to 500 kWh, if they could store it. A "few" nanoseconds would be maybe 1.5MWh, which means if they could fire this twice an hour they'd be generating 3 megawatts, but since they can't efficiently store that kind of power for that long, it doesn't really matter

c.) It takes a lot more than that 1.5MWh to fire this thing in the first place.
In for a gift for my dad that he'll love!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
