The difference is that you can simply fuel it back up without having to wait 8 hours. Pointing that out is their duty to the viewer. What you're raging over is that they should have hand waved the electrical problems away giving a false impression of the car.
If you look up solar heating of salt and storage it seems pretty viable for some places. I've only recently been looking at it, they focus light into one spot which will heat anything up over 3600 degrees. They heat some kind of salt up to this temperature and can store it for many hours at this temperature too meaning they can generate electricity throughout the night.
The CEO of Toyota is in tears, Toshiba has been taken out, over 200 people are dead and the whole hard drive plant is in 6 foot of water, what the hell made you think that this is an excuse? Fucking asshole.
This seems less to do with climate change and more to do with the fact that because shipping is always in the passage it prevents the water from re-freezing. The article does mention that it's expanding on the opposite side after all.
In older days these kind of things would have been called "discovery" rather then "invention". I predict a future where people will claim to have invented math too. Oh wait, that would be software patents.
'Consumers may buy the new Kindle Fire to read 1984, but they may not realize that the tablet's "Big Browser" may be watching their every keystroke when they are online,' Markey said in a statement."
Having data isn't enough to qualify as "big brother". Recording massive amounts of data on minute details of your life isn't what made the book big brother scary. It's what they did with that knowledge.
Fact is we're moving into an age where we will be recording more and more data on everyone. It's more important to setup a legal framework for what that data can be used for from an ethical/moral standpoint rather then attempt to stop massive data from being collected in the first place as it can be used for good as well as evil.
Just randomly typing in Brasero in a blank command line? Not going to happen
Unity isn't a command line. When I said you type in the program line I mean the following.
You press the windows key and the menu appears and shows you this listing of programs, you can simply begin typing in the name of the program and it will filter the list. You don't even need to type the programs name as you can type things like internet or browser to get firefox. When you've filtered down to one program you can press enter to run the program or mouse click it.
This lets you quickly launch programs without touching the mouse if you're familiar or you can mouse through for learners and use key words to get what you want. It has absolutely nothing to do with the command line. Think of windows 7's new start menu where you can type in the program name to get it to show up, like that but done right.
I suggest you give it a try for a few days before you complain.
The new UI keeps your hands off the mouse and doesn't take up important vertical screen space. You can open programs MUCH faster without touching the mouse by just pressing the win key then typing half the program name and hitting enter.
It's seriously well done as long as you're open minded to at least try it out first.
I completely disagree. It's great as it means I never have to take my hands off the keyboard.
Win key -> type firef -> hit enter - boom firefox opens Alt Key -> press one of the numbers for a docked program like the terminal -> boom opens Alt Key -> hold shift and one of the numbers -> opened a new terminal
All without slowing me down with a mouse.
It's is much more usable. It's just not accessible which is what you're complaining about, but it's to be expected to have a learning curve with any new UI.
Don't know about the parent but I tried this recently myself, less then two months ago. LMDE, Gnome Debian, etc. none of them booted on my laptop. Ubuntu was the only thing that booted and had no problems out of the box after install. My laptop is brand new, i7, Geode 350M, 8 GB ram.
I recently installed LMDE in a VM on a different computer and got it running without issues but it's ugly. Ubuntu looks much better, however you can't seem to install the ubuntu theme because it requires gtk2-engine-pixmap or something which doesn't exist. Basically I just wanted to get the Radiance GTK+ theme on my Debian install but no go so i'm stuck with all these ugly looking themes regardless of how many gtk engines I install.
What I don't get is why? Just because it's on windows doesn't mean they have to close source it and make it difficult for devs to debug the damn thing. That's what got them into the mess they're in in the first place, drivers so crappy they had to let others make them.
I feel sorry for all the windows users that can do nothing about it because ATI/AMD have shown time over that they're absolutely shit at software drivers.
No they really don't! Just like Henry Ford said, "If i asked my customers what they wanted they would have said faster horses". It's the perfect quote for users because they get stuck in their own little fantasy land where a suggestion might make complete sense to them but outside of that bubble it makes no sense at all; sometimes counter productive to their actual aims.
Of course they'll fight you every step of the way, what do you know, you've just been in this industry for 10 years where as they've been in it 10 minutes.
In actual practice it would probably be the other way around. There are a lot of JS hacks you need to know to write efficient JS. It's probably better to let a machine do it for the vast majority of people.
He might have said that but it's still a fucking stupid thing to say as the founder of free software.
I've said it before in my past comments on previous threads and this just plainly highlights that this man, regardless of his accomplishments is not fit to be leader of the free software foundation. His constant dick moves holds back the adoption of free software and makes all of us look like assholes.
He hasn't even done anything lately. He wasn't involved at all in the GPL 3 license process. All he does is run around the world charging to give talks about free software. Step down and let someone who knows how to lead take over because all he does is draw people away from free software with poor PR.
There IS NO economic justification for space exploration as of yet.
Not everything is about money. Billions didn't get poured into CERN to look for the Higgs Boson because they thought they'd make trillions back. We do these things because we think they further our knowledge of the universe.
Meanwhile you're putting pressure on corporations that don't give a shit while law makers can do what they want without accountability. Great thinking there brain genius.

Being efficient at doing nothing isn't being efficient.
Except that never happened.
Just like the US gov removing .com and .net domains however they like. Just as unclear.
At least the Chinese gov isn't being a hypocrite, something the US government is guilty of multiple times for decades.

Exactly, how many times is it going to take before they learn?!

It's simple statistics. Foxconn has over a million employees. The suicide rate in China is 27.8 people per 100,000 people.
To be fair 5 years ago GAIM halted development due to the AIM lawsuit. Not really sure if that had anything to do with your patch though.
because better things to work on is subjective and could mean working on some other part of linux.

Wrong, it's all javascript.

That's such bullshit, NASA costs were a drop in the ocean even before the cut backs.
