The worst Ubuntu performance in the tests was on the OpenGL benchmarks. There's a lot of improving coming on the Intel drivers (GEM, UXA, etc.), but it's sad to notice that it's taking so long for the performance on Linux being on pair with Windows and Mac OS X systems (in the same hardware).
I have a GM965 (Intel X3100 card), which support is even less mature than the Mac Mini's integrated card. Based on my experience, I'd not recommend buying those laptops with this IGP to anyone interested in 3D, even for basic stuff like Google Earth or Celestia - unless if you don't mind waiting some more months (or years) to the drivers improve.
Power consumption isn't so high as in a Desktop PC, and you can put some firmware inside it with much more functionality that you would get from those cheap routers around.
Aside from time factor (I suppose it works 24h/day), what's the big legal difference from what the TV programs do when they show random people, in scenes from the cities or so?
Then just die. Seriously. Nature should be already taking care of this, so going through this way wouldn't be adding anything new. Looks like just an acceleration of the naturally expected process.
I understand your point, but I think it doesn't seem to consider the fact that there are many and many interesting alternatives to make the human superpopulation a viable thing, even without having to expand out of from the planet so soon.
There are alternatives for petrol usage, there are alternatives for better resource recycling, there are alternatives for water reutilization, there are alternatives for garbage storage, and surely there is possibility of technological progress for problems not yet covered by the current solutions.
Despite the abundance of ways to "clean up" the planet, financial/political/social/conscience problems won't let this happen so easily, although there is a lot of workforce (the huge population you're talking about) to make changes. However, this makes the whole problem sound not like a quantity problem of the humans in the world, but a quality problem.
Furthermore, after reviewing this GPL our lawyers advised us that any products compiled with GPL'ed tools - such as gcc - would also have to its source code released. This was simply unacceptable. Just to exorcise this insane statement, please, take a look at this.
Yes, they can be used as memory. And they are in fact (see DRAM). But their time to be charged and discharged is considerable, and, as already stated, they leak power (that's why DRAM needs constant refresh from the memory circuit).
Forking.. ok... but does anyone know the further objectives? Would they implement some very wanted features like video/audio conversation, MSN direct file transfer, or give priority to keep protocol compatibility up to date (like MSNP14/MSNP15)? I'm not sure a lot of people (except for the forking developers) would switch from Pidgin to another project just because a difference on a textbox behavior (which maybe could be changed by a plugin), or something like that.
Although I agree with some points considered on parent post, I don't think the "do what you love" saying is selfish or irrational. If you love your kids, you'll love to take care of them, so there's no irrationality/contradiction. It's just a matter of conciliating things (hard task, probably).
Just keep in mind that the power sources in your country may be interconnected. For example, in the country where I live, most electricity comes from hydropower; however, if the demand grows too high at some period, the thermal power stations start working - and polluting.

No. But does it mean that searching for similar elements is the best guess?
Doesn't it suffer from a serious risk of overfitting?

I love Mario. Always will.
I prefer Princess Toadstool.

Maybe they want to rename it to Googlevac when it happens...
Just because something is good or excellent, it doesn't mean that it can't become better.
I really hope this doesn't encourage more Flash content from point-n-drool webmasters ...
You're so ingenuous...
Trying to answer the last question.
Windows ME? Oh you're outdated... Microsoft has Windows Vista!
Should everyone with respiratory problems sue their cities due to pollution?
Ugh... just imagine who could do the blowjobs...

Ok, but I've just tried to say that, in the specific case of loving your kids, the phrase is not selfish or irrational anymore.
