So how will it be possible to drag a window that is too narrow to have blank space at the right side of the menubar? Or what about when someone wants to drag a window to the right, partially outside the edge of the screen?
I personally dislike the taste of alcohol quite a bit and drink a couple of times a year; mostly because I'm trying to figure out what the appeal is. I'm not picky in the least when it comes to food. The only things I try to avoid is soup (why dilute perfectly good food, damnit!). When it comes to alcohol I loathe beer and red wine. I've tried multiple times and never managed to drink the entire contents of a beer bottle because it just tastes too horrible.
I really like one thing about GRUB2; you can add linux live-cds there:) I have a USB memory with ubuntu installed on it + live cds for the latest ubuntu version in the grub menu.
This is quite a bit of bullshit. Evolution is slow, wasteful and undirected. Technology is rapid, efficient and directed. It's stupid to let people die from the cold for generations when you can simply put on a damn coat.
Even worse, we interfere with "natural selection" and actually actively try to eliminate it. The more "advanced" the human society, the more likely we are to keep premature babies alive, mask over various genetic weaknesses with medications and treatments. This results in increasing weakness in each generation as these who avoided the brutal effectiveness of natural selection live to generate yet another even weaker generation.
You make it sound like evolution has a goal, that generations get "weaker" (whatever the hell that means) because of lack of natural selection. Generally, diversity is good (especially if you want evolution as you claim). It should also be pointed out that evolution is not dead; people don't generally choose to procreate with weak/sickly people/people with horrible deformities, giving them less chance to pass on their genes
You could have a small fee to accept another companies' batteries. Then those who accept the batteries can take them to get exchanged for fresh ones at the originator company. Assuming no discrimination against competing companies (could be government regulated) this should work just the same as it would for normal customers imho.
Yeah...... you better buy plenty of tinfoil hats... seriously that doesn't make much sense at all. A far simpler and logical explanation is that there are stupid lawyers at the FBI.
Does banks in the US seriously let you have full access to your bank account with only a fucking password? That seems ridiculously insecure. Don't they care if their users get hacked?
What would you suggest instead? Batteries seem to be too expensive, pumping water requires a lot of water and a place to store it but still fairly good. Are there anything more suitable?
FLOPS is pretty meaningless for x86 processors since they tend to do very little floating point math and thus need very little capacity for it. Having some form of test that tests the CPUs in ways that are similar to normal workloads seems like a better idea (e.g opening tons of websites in firefox, flash, whatever...)
All four of those questions where easy stuff you can do that helps significantly (unless you live in a very hot place and then you could probably live with turning the thermostat up a few degrees). They are things that should be done when possible and there really is no reason not to except extreme laziness.
You should take a look at brook (though it seems to be dying in favor of OpenCL). It's really straightforward and almost simpler than programming for the CPU. Of course I did have quite a lot of trouble compiling the programs... but that's probably because I suck.
I'm amazed that this got modded up so highly. I guess people on/. really were bullied quite a bit. Bullies are not sadists, they just prefer being the bully to being the one being bullied and belonging to a group, even if that group is not really based on friendship or anything stable.
Doesn't the majority of drugs pass straight through your body and out with the urine? That was at least the reason for the high levels of birth control pills in the ocean if I remember correctly

It is very possible that one variant of primordial life outcompeted the others because it was more efficient. Evoloution at work:)

Does masturbation count? (no, I didn't RTFA)
Please mod parent up.
Nobody wants a blue cable with yellow ends.

Not saying you are wrong but it's a bit higher than I would expect and I would really be interested in reading the source.
A trojan later... Wooohoo, guessed it in one:)
They are hiring local off duty cops, IN UNIFORM to keep people from seeing what is going on.
Surely that is illegal?

Where are all the mod points when you want them?:S Please mod the parent up. It's really scary to see all the anti China spin on /.
It makes sense and is necessary when assigning blame.
He may be an asshole, but he is not evil or necessarily a sadist.
