Seriously? because I hear there are a few more than 6 distros of Linux...

So what's the big problem?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 in tri-SLI reviewed: great performance, not so great price tag

Correct. By leveraging team dynamics the Engadget writers aren't working harder or faster; they're working smarter!

Now that's thinking with your pointy hair!

First partially-solar-powered cargo ship launches in Japan

I don't foresee many ships taking up this design; don't most container ships stack containers on the decks?

British physics professor perfects "tunable eyeglasses" -- no eye doctor required

I had these demoed to me the other day. The syringes on the side are no longer 'push/pull' controlled, but they have 'scroll wheels' instead.

It makes a massive difference in being able to fine tune them. the syringes can also be detached now after the glasses are set.

The lenses aren't as good as real glass ones, but it's pretty surprising how well they work and how cheap they can be manufactured. It's also great when you realise they can be adjusted/shared/reused unlike a set prescription.

Water-powered clock is here to save the environment

It's like a car battery. You know how your battery can go "dead", but you can just drain it and replace the acid before charging it?

Well the acid is the electrolyte; the electrons aren't actually removed from the electrodes, so they don't 'go bad'/'run out' of power so you replace the electrolyte and the battery springs back to life!

It doesn't sound like it's powered by water, instead water acts as an electrolyte. The power is stored in the electrodes.

Engadget's Holiday Gift Guide: for enemy

Dec 25th 2007 5:27PM on Engadget

Oh brilliant! Release the guide *after* I've spent my money buying presents for my enemies.

Oh, hang on. Yup, I'm the fool here...

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!"
