7/2     hello have any of you used a solar charger for a laptop in
        particular a g4 mac powerbook 15"? do those supply enough juice
        to power a laptop or can they only trickle change the battery?
        ok tnx. --psb
        \_ There are some that will allow you to run a pb on solar
           power alone, but these are quite big and not portable (mostly
           designed for people who can find a good spot to camp out and
           setup a mini-solar array to power their computer). The ones
           that are portable provide only a trickle charge.
        \_ I'm not a thief; I pay for my energy instead of stealing it from
           the sun.

5/18    I'm looking for a good rechargeable AA battery system. What do you guys
        use? I'm thinking of getting a bunch of AA NiMH and a really good
        charger that can do a full drain/recharge cycle to reduce memory
        effect as well as battery tender since NiMH seems to lose 10% charge
        per week, or AA Li-Ion with normal chargers. What do you guys think?

           \_ tom clearly didn't read #1 carefully. We've already tapped
              and used up 1 out of 6-7 units of estimated oil on earth.

5/27    Nice electric hybrid bicycles:

        At 30MPH, eGO is my favorite out there.
        \_ At 30mpg, driver's license should be required.
        \_ Isn't a powered bicycles sort of not the point?
        \_ if it has a motor, it's not a bicycle.

10/9    So this whole plugin hybrid campaign thing...  Wouldn't that completely
        fuck the CA power grid if even a few % of drivers bought those?
        \_ the real issue is not rather CA power grid can handel it.
           I was told that if we modify it to make it plugin, it will
           drastically reduce the life span of the rechargable battery of those
           Prius, thus make the car a lot more prohibitive than it would
