  1. Re:Decent text editor still not included right? on Emacs Hits Version 23 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    M-x viper-mode

  2. Re:Not saying it's credible at first glance.. on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 5, Informative

    That link you've sent might have the answer to this problem. They're using an alloy of aluminum and galium that breaks the water molecule, generating aluminum oxide. But then the energy comes from this reaction of Al -> Al2O3 and therefore there's no magic here. In this case you will have 'extra' energy, that will be consumed when reverting the oxidation of the aluminum.

  3. Re:A Notable Improvement would be ditching Totem.. on The Notable Improvements of GNOME 2.22 · · Score: 1

    Well, kaffeine uses xine as its backend and I've never had such problem with it.

  4. Re:Hmmm... on First Look At Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 · · Score: 1

    I think Epiphany running webKit as engine is what you want.

  5. Re:Perceived delay on Linux To Take Over The Low-End PC Market? · · Score: 1

    By your email, I imagine we're from the same country. There are serious problems, not only with the hardware, but the 'distros' that come with them, distros nobody's ever heard about. There are lots of options to choose from: Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva... there's no reason to make a new one.

  6. Re:WTF? This is not even a Turing test. on Russian Chatbot Passes Turing Test (Sort of) · · Score: 1

    Somehow it is. Personally, I wouldn't give personal information to anybody, but there are some people who would, and some of them confused a chatbot with a human. Thus, a machine passed as a person, fooling some guys who wanted to get laid and getting their bank account information.

  7. Re:Bullshit on The Biggest Roadblocks To Information Technology Development · · Score: 1

    Sure, tagging and controlling data is important, but far from difficult, and with well-written programs a good suite of visualization tools is relatively easy.
    Indeed. Intel and AMD work with CPUs, it's not their fault if no one created a better way to organize files. And, problably, this new way of tagging files will need more CPU time.
  8. Re:Not the interface on Apple's "Time Machine" Now For Linux... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    We use 'per se' in Portuguese too, though we write it as 'per si'.

  9. Re:Exchange on OpenOffice.org 3.0 Wants to Compete with Outlook · · Score: 1

    Outlook's shared calendar integration, while being a minor thing to most geeks, is one of the major features which get Exchange installed in businesses.
    Did you read the whole article? There are some proof-of-concept pictures and in one of them, there is Thunderbird with a calendar view. I don't think they'd just bundle Thunderbird with OpenOffice as it is. We're going to see big changes, problably, though imho they should bundle any other client mail (no, I don't like TB nor FF).
  10. Re:correct me if i'm wrong, but on Artificial Life May Be Possible Within Ten Years · · Score: 1

    Dolly was a 'copy', its DNA was identical to its mother DNA. These scientists are creating (or trying to) life from nothing. Not only this artificial life being won't have the same DNA as its mother, it won't have a mother and its DNA will be different from the DNA of any other species.
