Battery life for either type of battery can be prolonged greatly by removing the battery when the unit is plugged into AC power. This approach is recommended if your laptop supports it and power outages are infrequent in your area.
Is this true? Does anyone know of any sources for the differences in battery lifetime if you do this?
I think you're intentionally twisting what I said. But in good faith, my apologies if I wasn't clear, English is not my native language. I meant that they were unable to take the good parts of the book (the ones calling for peace and tolerance) while rejecting the parts calling for stoning of women. Of course, as stated above by Anon they can't do that and remain strictly Muslim. My mother's family and most Muslims I've met managed though, while still remaining very religious otherwise.
Anyway, stoned women are the best part of any college party;) The worst part is cleaning up afterwards.
300 years?! A cursory glance at history would seem that that's very young for a religion. Nevertheless, stoning women and all that bullshit is because some people are incapable of thinking for themselves and taking only the best parts of their religious book.
My god! I just rechecked, I was making a mistake comparing the price of the HP dv9700t to the Macbook. It's equivalent to the Macbook Pro and costs around half the price.
I was checking both these brands out just yesterday, and while I didn't manage to get to 1/3rd the price, HP prices its laptops cheaper for the same specifications as the Macbook Pro. It doesn't take much effort to check. I think I was playing with customising the dv9700t or something on the HP site.
Just in case that's your only reason for using Adobe Acrobat, I've heard good things about FoxIt Reader. I don't use Windows myself, so I can't tell, but it may be worth a shot if Acrobat is as bloated as it used to be once.
Then you'll love my HP Laptop, the wireless LED is bright blue and on the front, facing you if you're facing the screen, and now I know why I stay awake so late into the night.
...monitor all the data the users produces, what websites the user visits, and gives the software manufacturer the right to keep that information in perpetuity...
It just sounded like a horrible thing in entirety, and I'm sure some company could stick it in their EULA and get away with it. Would that make it legal, because that sounds insane. All sorts of users just 'know' that they should check the I Agree box [1]. But then, what if someone makes software so awesome that you would actually pay that price to use it. So frankly, I don't know. And as for what I think wouldn't stand in court, I do not actually know the law, just remarking that such a thing is dangerous enough to possibly be disallowed.
I'm pretty sure that the $1 wage thing doesn't work though, wouldn't minimum wage law apply? Anyway, interesting stories, thanks for sharing. Funny that about non-commercial, I suppose one should make sure the terms mean what you think they mean when you write out a licence:)
[1]I'm pretty much an idiot too, I use GMail, but I haven't read the privacy policy through. I reckon I wouldn't understand all the implications even if I had.
It will work on some hardware with a lot of work and not perfectly and certainly on a lot less hardware than Windows or Linux. Not bashing anything, just stating.
I would think that such licence agreements wouldn't stand up in court, as in there are some things you just can't agree to[1]. I am not a lawyer and have no knowledge of law whatsoever, of course, but I would think that this would be one such case.
[1]You can't accept a licence that makes you a slave, I think, or that says that you can be killed, of which I'm sure.
Actually you will be surprised to note that cows do indeed breed, and so do whales. Of course, they don't breed with apostrophes the way your words do.
There was a sci-fi story I read a long time ago (Asimov, perhaps) that had someone explaining how they lost their war. "We were more advanced.", he said. Funny stuff.
It isn't that simple. I'm not a programmer, and when a game (Freespace 2 SCP) didn't work on my Via Unichrome graphics, I saw the error and just searched through the source for the size of textures to use and changed that down. There was tearing in the menus but the game itself was fine. That's what makes me so happy, the output from the program complained about some MAX_TEXTURE_WSIZE or something and I changed it. Maybe it isn't an acceptable trade for anyone, but it was for me. Perhaps we should just agree to disagree, maybe what I said doesn't apply to everyone, but it does to me, and my reason for getting people to try using free software is because I just want everyone to get a chance to be able to do what I managed there.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh and Pubmed. Lovely place, Pubmed.
Knowing fellow slashdotters, they'll probably turn it on just to get random math problems to solve. At least I would.

Maybe it's resource intensive at the tower? I really don't know. It's just that we get 22000 messages for around 2 USD equivalent here in India.
No, but FSF did.
For me, and people around me, Ubuntu won its community through ShipIt. Get 5 CDs free, shipped to your home address. Superb idea.

Full Disclosure: My mother is a Muslim.

That's because you didn't link to the test itself. That action page, it seems to have a highlight on every t on Firefox 2.

Perhaps Slash ripped those characters out of the headline? Because the RSS feed has it listed properly with +'s and ='s.
I'm glad the people who invented polythene bags thought that way.

Smokey Point sounds like a CPU name? That's the last thing I want my CPU to be, a point to let out the blue smoke.
You are correct. Thank you!

Perhaps the Loongson series is what the OP is talking about. They say it's MIPS-compatible.
That's the problem, all the Java developers are unemployed because 'java is dead' ;)
