  2. 16000bits on 1st International Longest Tweet Results · · Score: 4, Funny

    Solution - Just tweet the following picture of a swimming fish:

    ".`.`..`.>"

    Given that 1 word is 16 bits, and a picture is equal to 1,000 words,
    that makes my above tweet 16,000 bits of information (fitting
    several pictures in a tweet may extend this further) :-)

  8. Re:Sulfur aerosols also cause ozone depletion on Cleaner Air Could Speed Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Don't take this the wrong way, I have no problem removing aerosols from hair spray or other fairly non-essential products (especially when there are other options that work just as well), but the refusal to leave an option in place for use in necessary medical equipment just goes to show that these laws are much more about politics than science or logic.

    Aerosol = solid particles/liquid droplets suspended in air.

    Removing "aerosols" from hair spray?

  11. Re:Sulfur aerosols also cause ozone depletion on Cleaner Air Could Speed Global Warming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why can't people understand that stuff can both be good and bad at the same time?

    And CFC's(r12, r22 etc) have been banned and replaced with alternatives that don't contain chlorine. So the sulfur aerosols don't really have mush CFC to "trigger".

    i.e sulfur aerosols was bad in the 90s because we had mush Chlorofluorocarbon in the atmosphere.

  16. Re:Dead Sea Desalination Potential on Aral Sea May Recover; Dead Sea Needs a Lifeline · · Score: 0

    The dead sea is something like 420m below sea level. So it would be possible to run a hydropower plant together with an desalination plant as mentioned in TFA, and some time in the future they could also use Osmoticpower plants,(if the dead sea still is more saline than the red sea at that point).

    But the the dead sea would really need fresh water, you don't want to add tons of extra salt every year. "Saltwater in" and "moist air out" is not an good idea in the long run.

  19. Re:Maybe not for the server hardware itself on Job Ad Hints At Microsoft Move To ARM Servers · · Score: 1

    It does actually make sense. If the two cpus have the same surface area(=same heatsink) you can compare their wattage by measuring the temperature.

    CPU A have X mips, use 20W and gets 10c above room temperature.
    CPU B Have 2X mips and gets 30c above room temperature with the same cooling.

    With one have better mips/watt?

    Long long ago, in a land far far away, I started down the CS degree path but stopped after the first required programming class. Guess how often I've used Pascal since then? If the students know the class is meaningless, why not cheat?

    I don't know the definition of "soft drug", but LSD is non-addictive according to this source on wikipedia.
