    None of those things you quote in your post are necessary anymore.

    And as for your last statement, http://wubi-installer.org/ - no partitioning, and it's a real installation.

  9. Re:not the only nuclear battery on '30 Year Laptop Battery' is Unscientific Myth · · Score: 1

    It would make your Macbook hotter, bulkier, more expensive, and way less reliable to try to recover the TINY amount of electricity that you can recover from a heat source like a CPU.

    That's why.

  10. Re:30-year-battery unrealistic for another reason on '30 Year Laptop Battery' is Unscientific Myth · · Score: 1

    You are completely correct.

    I would, however, love a "magic" laptop that simply runs for its entire life. No charging.

    That would be QUITE useful.

    But I'll take the 32-hour battery, like you said.

    That console owners wouldn't have much fun getting owned by people that are playing with kb/mouse - so it also makes sense.

    Note that Renderman is a standard renderer - you probably thought every Pixar movie was raytraced, didn't you?

  23. Re:they dont have a clue on Blogger Finds Bug in NASA Global Warming Study? · · Score: 1

    Lemme try this instead...

    Suppose we have a 100 pixel x 100 pixel image of anything. A dog, for example.

    Now, pretend we were writing an algorithm to, when given a random pixel position, predict the color of a adjacent pixel x.

    I would first perform a blurring operation on the entire image, because individually, each individual pixel contains only the information...for that particular pixel.

    Blur (average) the image by a few pixels in every direction, and we've removed a few pixels worth of overall inaccuracy in the prediction routine.

    Weather is those individual pixels from the original image.

    Climate is that blurred version that we made, for predicting the individual pixels.

    "Distrust scientists because they were once wrong, therefore they will always be." Note that no one is forecasting the weather two days ahead of time for your exact perceptions of "local" Also, note that what "the media" tell you about - well, basically anything - will be as polarized and simplified as possible. We all know this. "There is evidence to suggest a risk of more violent hurricanes this year." said by someone, somewhere = "OMG BAD YEAR DEATH DESTRUCTION TUNE IN AT TEN FOR DETAILS!"
