    Looking for Decent Desktop WLAN Adapter

    I have a 100 Mb/s Internet connection and use a Netgear N600 (WNDR3800, a b n, 300 Mb/s WLAN) Router. Depending on client, I had WLAN speeds of 30 to 65 Mb/s. So I thought about buying a new router (maybe even 2 to bridge them), so I can actually use my Internet speed. However, I recently...

    If mass is accelerated continuously, will it ever turn into pure energy, and if so, how?

    If you split atoms, mass is lost indeed. This is the very source of nuclear energy. As an easier example, let's take hydrogen-fusion: first, we have two deuterium cores, each consisting of one neutro and one proton. Now that we fuse them together, we get a very instable (3,2) helium core and a...

    Another example of an "evil" corporation

    Now I know that's nitpicking, but: Math doesn't work this way. So they loose 15 mil MINUS what they would have payed in taxes instead of 15 mil. But anyway, back to the issue.

    German Minister Blames American People for Hurricane!

    Yeah, sure. biggest and most influential country in the EU. but who cares about the EU anyway? There's the U.S. and... Yes, car production might be going back in Germany but VW, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche (exclusively, AFAIK) and Opel (GM) still produce a lot of cars or at least parts of...

    German Minister Blames American People for Hurricane!

    While true, the U.S. average is still nearly twice as high. But then again, I think this isn't about whether if his statistics are true or not, not even if global warming does cause these hurricanes or not, I think there are more important issues right now than just use this disaster for...

    German Minister Blames American People for Hurricane!

    Well, you would have to take all european nations into consideration and weight them by their population. France for example only has 5.99 per 1000 people and about 55 Mil inhabitants. Don't know whether the ratio of 2.5 is true or not, but you don't proove him wrong.

    German Minister Blames American People for Hurricane!

    Well, but it wasn't exactly Schroeder. Of course, it was one of his ministers and you could say that these government dudes are all the same. But this guy has some political views close to a left wing radical and isn't liked that much by germans, he's also a member of the green party, unlike...

    Need some suggestion in choosing two T43

    My T23 broke down 2 times, both times some mainbard issues. the first time was within the first year, thhe second time wasn't, but I had a three year warranty. On the other hand, Within one year I never had a problem with my T41p, so it's kinda hard to say if it is worth to pay extra for the...

    DSLR Owners - is it worth it?

    I think its the same reason why tehy don't have a built in flash. These cams aren't for people who care about the amount of accessories they carry around. If you want to take advantage of the D2H/D2X vs. a D70, you won't use such a baby flash light. SB600/800 have far supperior AF-Assists. And...

    Dell 26" LCD for $1099

    "Max Resolution: 1280x768 Pixels (WXGA)", well, that's why. Maybe this is a nice TV, but u can't compare it with a computer monitor of that size. What's HDTV 1080i good for on such a screen anyway?

    Scientists reverse paralysis in dogs

    Unfortunately, there are no other human stem cells than embryonic. Of course, it's nice if it works with a dog, this proves that there is a high chance that it might work with humans as well, but dog-dna isn't the same as human-dna. Now even if this will work with palsy, stemm-cells have much...
