Redotted from Mohit -- using asphalt roads as solar panels. Very cool. (Or a really hot idea!)
Quoted: The result is cheap heating in winter and cheap cooling in summer. And there is a bonus. Summer heating softens asphalt. That makes it easier for heavy traffic to damage the road surface. Dr de Bondt’s system not only saves on electricity, but also saves the road.

Apparently, asphalted roads make great solar panels. Very cool.
Quoted: Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat that was stored during summer. This water goes into the Ooms building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and the residual heat it carries helps to keep the road free of snow and ice.

Cool!
1 FaverViewed: 38 TimesQuoted: Finally, a way to backup to Windows Live Skydrive! Here’s what you need:
_ A Windows Live Skydrive Account
_ Gladinet (Read my post on how to install and configure it)
_ Comodo BackUp
_ At least 10GB’s of free temporary storage(I’m barely surviving 8GB’s of free storage)
_ DSL or higher(I’m using DSL, and it stinks. Dialup users: forget it.)
Now that Skydrive has 25GB’s of storage, you start to wonder why that there isn’t a free backup solution. Well, now there is. After hours of searching and testing, I can now say I have found an almost perfect solution(and yes, I do have a life). Put on your seatbelts. Let’s jump in. - mohit - 24 days ago1 FaverViewed: 7 Times
