  1. Re:0 Degrees now or then? on Doomsday Seed Vault Design Unveiled · · Score: 3, Informative

    RTFA:"We also modelled climate change in a drastic form 200 years into future, which included the melting of ice sheets at the North and South Poles, and Greenland, to make sure that this site was above the resulting water level."

  2. Re:Equivalent figures on Did Gates Fib About H1-B Salaries? · · Score: 1

    Somebody mod parent up +5 retarded.
    Why do you think people go through the H1B anal probe ? Because they get much better pay ($80K vs $300) if they manage to make it through.
    First go check how people get payed around the world before posting. Sheesh...

  3. Re:Groklaw coverage on Confidential Microsoft Emails Posted Online · · Score: 1

    "I suggest everyone go out and get it as soon as you can. It's that good."
    Is this an internal document ? And the developers actually have to go and pay for it ?

  4. Romania has no fleet on Piracy Built the Romanian IT Industry · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Therefore we cannot be pirates. There, fixed that for ya.
    On a serious note, what the article says is true, I didn't know anyone in Romania that had any legal software. Everything was pirated, including foreign music. But on the other side that availability of any pirated software allowed technically inclined people to learn a whole host of different things and culturally inclined ones to listen to every genre of music.
    The problem is economic, because the average Romanian wage is around 200-300 per month so a lot of people cannot afford to buy software. And yes I am a Romanian in case anyone asks.
    By the way this guy is a Romanian: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/29/181 1201.
    Take that Bill Gates.

  10. Bill the Protector on Microsoft Answers Vista DRM Critics' Claims · · Score: 2

    Will Windows Vista content protection features increase CPU resource consumption?
    Yes. However, the use of additional CPU cycles is inevitable, as the PC provides consumers with additional functionality. Windows Vista's content protection features were developed to carefully balance the need to provide robust protection from commercial content while still enabling great new experiences such as HD-DVD or Blu-Ray playback.

    Ohhhh....
    I see... Now it makes perfect sense. So the "additional functionality" is "the need to provide robust protection from commercial content" for the user. Billy'O'Borg only has the best intentions of protecting you and me from commercial content. If we can't see it it won't harm us.
    Good ole' Bill, bless his (borg) heart.

  11. Re:A photon carries a lot of information on Ultra-Dense Optical Storage on One Photon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not so, :) A single number can store a huge amount of information. Your hardrive is one single very long binary number. If you define a way of retrieving information you can store images as numbers (binary, hex, octal,decimal or otherwise).

  15. Might be feasible in Europe on Solar Power Eliminates Utility Bills in U.S. Home · · Score: 0

    The article states "Caminiti argues that the cost of the hydrogen/solar setup works out at about $4,000 a year when its $100,000 cost is spread over the anticipated 25-year lifespan of the equipment. That's still a lot higher than the $1,500 a year the average U.S. homeowner spends on energy, according to the federal government. Even if gasoline costs averaging about $1,000 per car annually are included in the energy mix, the renewables option is still more expensive than the grid/gasoline combination." Considering only the costs of gasoline in Europe http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasp rices/ which are a lot higher than in the US(up to 4x), the savings provided by using a hydrogen powered car would match the expense per year of the rig. No if I can only find how much the average European drives...
