  1. Re:Easy on New Server Chip Niagara · · Score: 1

    I'm not an ecologist or anything, but planting trees cannot reduce emissions.

    The definition of emissions, means the product being emitted. Planting a tree does not reduce CO2 being emitted. Although it probably does 'eat up' the CO2, reducing the amount of the gas in the air.

  2. Drivers? on Mac OS X x86 Put To The Test · · Score: 1

    Just wondering.

    I would assume that apple only has drivers for their own hardware. How do they get OSX to run properly on an x86 that's not Apple if it does not supply proper video, network, mboard drivers, etc?

  4. Is it sattelite or cell based on Inmarsat Brings 3G Broadband to North America · · Score: 1

    The summary says both sattelite and cell. These are 2 totally different technologies.

    The same summary says both Athlon 3200 and 3800, which one is it?

  8. Umm.. they all used to be on A Fanless Graphics Card from ASUS · · Score: 1

    Why is this innovation?

    Up until 3 years ago, it would be rare to find a video card with a fan in it.
    10 Years ago, most CPU's didn't even have fans on them.

  9. Re:I knew it on Happy 7th Birthday Google! · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here's a preview of what google looked like 7 years ago

    I know archive.org had older versions of the page, but for some reason this is the oldest one I can get today. You can try this link to an older preview, but it doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

  11. Re:That'll Never Work on Is AOL The Key to Microsoft 'Killing' Google? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't AOL own Netscape and ICQ still?

    MS is also buying out a big chunk of their browser and IM competition.

    BTW, is Mozilla still related to netscape in some way? Would MS have any leverage over Mozilla if they purchased AOL?

    Try without -O3, optimizing the code makes it faster, but it takes up more disk space as a result.

  14. Re:But what if there was 1 million of them on Experimental 4G Phone Service Faster Than Cable · · Score: 1

    2 things to keep in mind.

    A base station is designed for a small area (maybe a radius of 1-2km; depending on how crowded the area is).

    However, the data rate mentioned in the article was likely just a single user.

    I guess you'd multiply the data rate by the number of available channels, then divide by the number of people using the service on a particular base station.

  15. Re:Wow on Experimental 4G Phone Service Faster Than Cable · · Score: 1

    With wireless providers here charging $0.05/kB (not on a plan) when GPRS (56k) came out. They still charge the same rate now with EDGE (384k).

    It just means they can rake up your bill much faster.

  16. Re:Is this really a file system? on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 1

    Hrm.. am I the only one to remember seeing blue screens on a Win2K reboot on install saying somethign like "Converting filesystem to NTFS"?

  17. Re:Lamarck and Darwin were wrong too on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    Sure it can be wrong, especially when conferences publish papers like these.

  18. Re:Is this really a file system? on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 1

    I think to this day, XP and 2K3 formats the filesystems as FAT32, and converts them to NTFS before installing the OS. (Win2K may have been the last OS to do this, so please verify).

  20. Re:Huh? on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 1

    At least the current title "GMail sign-ups via mobile" is correct. If it said "GMail open to everyone" in the title (like it actually does say in the caption of the article), that would be wrong, as it's only open to those with access to a mobile phone that can receive text messaging and are in the US.

    It's like we now have the ability to invite mobile phone users, that's all.

    Also, does anyone think that part of the reason they're doing this is to collect mobile phone #'s?

  21. Another misleading claim: on Terabyte DVD Recorder Available Next Month · · Score: 1
    From TFA:
    Hitachi said the new models would be the first on the market able to simultaneously record two high-definition programs, and it hopes this will be a key selling point given the spread of terrestrial digital broadcasting in Japan.
    I'm not sure if they're talking about the first DVD/HD combo thing that can do this, but my HD-based scientific atlanta box can record 2 HD programs simultaneously, while watching a 3rd prerecorded.
