Looks like I'll have to buy an extra case of Guinness, after all "its for the laptop"!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Good, this gives me a new excuse to offer the little woman when she asks, "You're going out for beer again?"

[ken5050]

Kewl.....I can see it now..you're on an airplane..your laptop battery runs down, you order another of those little bottles.......

[maxwell]

My computer is already alcohol powered.

That's why my productivity is so low today, cause I neglected to get that beer at lunch...

[areafiftyone]

Burp!

This thread is begging for the "Hold muh beer" guy.

[TommyDale]

This should prove interesting, since one of my last two laptops had a poorly designed power cord which resulted in a small explosion. My more recent one, a Compaq, was actually recalled for exploding power supplies. I can see it now -- one slight leak and BOOM -- flash fire!

[Thinkin' Gal]

Alcohol-powered laptops ahead

I think some posters have already been using them. One of em got banned real good.

[fella]

Heck. This aint notin. My ole 95 PC has been runin on Rolling Rock for years. An it comes in a 12 ounce glass cartridges but they only last about 15 to 20 minutes or until they get to hot.

Oh, good. A mean drunk computer, as if Windoze isn't ugly enough on a conventional machine.

My notebook is steam powered, so I can burn pretty much any fuel. Versatility is the key.

[Cyber Liberty]

Excellent news, except that I don't cotton to the idea of having to compete with a machine for my libations.

No one (almost) seems to recognize the difference between Methanol and Ethanol.

To state it simply:
Drink ethanol in any quantity and you get drunk and have a hangover
Drink Methanol in any quantity and you die and have a funeral.

[TheMightyQuinn]

"When methanol is broken down it generates carbon dioxide and water."

Um, what happens to the CO2? If CO2 is created, how is this "green energy"? I thought that CO2 was supposed to be the bad guy?

"HMBAWT" alert

[BushMeister]

This reminds me of my Dad. When we would pile into our kayaks and canoes on a lake, he would periodically ask my Mom for another "fuel cell", meaning another beer to keep him paddling!

[Movemout]

I think they will be adding a "Straw Portal Connector" if this comes to pass. A funnel and a bottle of Jim Beam will keep the hardware and the wetware running indefinitely.

[MainFrame65]

Interesting.

[Junior]

Gives a new meaning to "fully loaded."

[Colinsky]

Fuel cells which use chemistry to generate electrical power by breaking down substances such as hydrogen are already being touted as a green power source for the future, especially for cars and other light vehicles."

Gee, I wonder what the hydrogen breaks down into?
