  1. Re:When the sun sets... on Canada to Build 40MW Solar Power Plant · · Score: 3, Informative

    The advantage solar power brings is that peak usage is during the day, which happens to be just exactly when solar power is being produced. So, the coal powered plants don't have to work at as high of an output, and during the night, it still operates normally (in most areas, traditional plants operating at minimal levels (they can't be fully shut down on a nightly basis) produce more than enough electricity to meet night demands). Solar plants, unless combined with a storage mechanism (hydrogen production, batteries, etc.) do not replace traditional power, but instead augments it.

  2. Re:The Point? on Bill Would Require Labels on Cloned Food · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The point is to allow consumers to make their own decisions on what goes into their bodies.

  3. Laptop sticker shock... on 4 GB May Be Vista's RAM Sweet Spot · · Score: 1

    While $500 a stick for 2gb modules is crazy, 4x1gb modules, even high end hyperx/xms modules will cost you about $300 for 4gb of system RAM. Perhaps the close performance comparisons between XP laptops and computers (due to the 'sweet spot' of both being easily and cheaply attainable) have spoiled most, where when they see high end performance requirements, they automatically believe that both laptops and desktops should be on the same level, where that has never, and will never, be the case.

  4. Re:RAM?? on Via Debuts Smallest PC Mobo Format Yet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's on the other side. A lot of VIA motherboards have CF Cards and/or SODIMM slots on the other side to save space.

  5. Truly a Miracle on Father of Instant Ramen Passes Away · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ramen noodles are proof of the far reach of the FSM's noodly appendage.

  6. Re:Ubuntu on The Well-Tempered Debian desktop · · Score: 1

    So, should user begin to migrate from Debian... to Debian? Well, sure.
