Now I totally Have an idea for yet another story about a deadly virus breakout in a urban area.


"health officials were stunned, despite their best quarantine efforts, grounding all flights, preventing train travel, blocking roadways, the virus designated r3x40 spread rapidly, and seemed to originate from multiple sources. Only transmitted via physical contact, not an airborne contagen, No one understood where this was coming from, until it was found, patient zero in los angeles california worked for energizer, as well as the chinese patient zero in shanghai. The batteries were in 1 in 4 portable devices on the planet, and there was no way to stop it now"


Although anything that makes power efficient and cheap is cool by me

Oh i'm sure they're harmless, but it would make for good post-apocalyptic fiction

@Cybur:

:-) That was a wonderful angle. though I was trying to stay in the realm of reality instead of a post apocalyptic world that seems to be in a few minds on the top of the Heirarchical food chain at the present.

Though I want to see if this would actually work.  It would be so interesting.

@FM: ;-) I don't think I need more personal CPU wasting time measurements? :-) Thanks for the link.
