  1. Re:Ah yes, the Guardian by edxwelch · · Score: 1 · on US Ready to put Weapons in Space

    The Guardian was one of the few papers to report on the war critically and produced excellent articals such as this one.
    There wasn't one single American newspaper that reported on the facts critically. Even the New York times admits this.

  2. Re:You're just guessing... by moonbender · · Score: 1 · on PSP Developer Interview

    Sure, the motor to spin the disc for movies uses some juice, but not nearly as much as processing 3D games and sound.

    Fair enough. I was going to disagree, but when looking for sources (you helpfully didn't provide any), I found a nice paper (Google HTML version) on laptop power usage. The Pentium M they tested used 1 to 3W in idle, and 3 to 14W underload. The optical drive used 2.8W when just spinning and 5.31W when reading. When running 3DMark, the system used about 30W, during playback of an audio CD it used about 19W, the largest single component draw coming from the optical drive. Sadly they did not test the power consumption during DVD playback.
    Of course, those numbers will be different on a PSP. It doesn't use a CPU nearly as powerful as a Pentium M 1300, but at the same time the optical drive will be smaller making for lighter media. I thought the optical drive would make more of a dent, but now I guess movie streaming and rendering and games will use about the same amount of power, assuming the game doesn't continuously access the CD, as well. I don't think you're correct in assuming that gaming uses considerable more power, though. Keep in mind that in addition to constantly spinning the optical medium, the PSP also has to decide the video which is a non-trivial task for a handheld mobile CPU.

  3. HTML cache of PDF by colonslashslash · · Score: 2, Informative · on New Inventions Featured at the BIS
    C'mon guys, its not hard to use google cache to pull of the HTML cache of the PDF, took me about 10 seconds

    Although I do agree, it's annoying that its a PDF document in the first place. Either way, here you go:
