I never understand this argument. People always talk of freedom without personal pronouns, which makes the argument moot. There's no such thing as 'freedom', there's only my, your, our freedom. The BSD protects someones freedom pretty damn totally, and the GPL protects everyones freedom at the cost of basically not allowing you to distribute binaries without source. Trying to compare these in 'freedomness' is moronic: it's literally comparing apples and oranges.
Now I don't know if 'freedom' is shorthand for either of these, but if it's a measure of importance (which is more important, my or our freedom) I'd argue our freedom is more important (thus, the GPL). Just like how one mans ability to rule himself (monarchy) is less important than our ability to rule ourselves (democracy), even if it is at a small cost (I actually can do less than a king).
What I never understand is that with a different packing pattern (hexagonal), they could use around 10% more land than they do now. Why don't they do this?
Exactly. I was furiously searching the paper for numbers for the energie efficiency, but found only a reference to an estimated one (17%). High QE's are nice, but doesn't tell you much about the amount of power you can suck from these babies. The value of the technique seems to be that there's a way to make low cost low efficient panels, as opposed to high cost low efficient or extreme cost average efficient panels.
Assuming a 1kW transmitter, uniformly distributed over a one half sphere (because it makes no sense to send signals straight up), you 70kg standing an hour at 20ft from the transmitter, you'd heat up 0.06 degrees Celsius or almost a tenth of a Fahrenheit. Seems benign.
That an interesting notion: it's true nothing will happen anymore, and, if you would be able to have conscience, no way of using clocks or somesuch devices to actually measure any time passing. Yet, a system settling in a certain state and staying in that state for a time seems far removed from having no time passing. How about this: if I'd have a box in which I put some system that settles in a state (maximum entropy for example, but any state should do). When I open that box, has time passed for that system? I'm inclined to say yes, but with your notion I could see how no can be an answer also.
Interesting that these elements, Si, H, O and C, account for the bulk of our planet. Does the fact that there's life here really have something to do with it?
Technically they're not virtualizing the videocards, but rerouting and remapping API-calls (be they DirectX or OpenGL). That's why software support and speed aren't even close to direct access.
That's because the whole concept of TLD's is unnatural because its not part of the name. Gmail is gmail, nog gmail.com. I think a lot of problems would be solved if we'd drop TLD's (and the www prefix!).
Yes sir. But you'll also have to dail the graphics down in Quake 5 or Crysis 3, because that's how developers get those games to run on your console (perhaps even dropping your resolution). Playing at ultra-high year in year out, that's an expensive hobby, and only possible on PC's.
I'm frankly growing tired of the endless politicizing of each and every article vaguely related to government, perhaps in particular the EU. In my experience Americans do this much more often then others.
The only point I was trying to make was that if there should be such a ballot screen, Opera should be in there. I'm not going back to whether a ballot screen should be in there, that's another discussion.
Opera is hands down the most used browser in Eastern Europe. Market share of Opera is never below 40% there, and often over 50. So you can drag all the politics you want into this (you are an American after all), the simple fact of the matter is that Opera is actually used, a lot, in large parts of Europe, much moreso than Safari for example, and therefore should be in such a ballot screen.
Moot points. Companies can create their own webapps just as easily as normal apps, and with Gears you can tune whats downloaded and whats cached locally (data and/or apps).

Even then, AMD manages DDR2 and 3 with the same socket, even the same chip.

Proper translation: "That's really scraped off of the dogs balls."
Yeah I don't know either what that means (I'm Dutch).
I'd tap that.
You're saying slashdotters will have kids now? Nonsense. The moon will crash into the sea before that happens.

Stop the trains, I wanna go back to horse and carriage!

The reason why it is what it is because of cpu-support that lets virtualization software have direct access. That tech isnt in videocards yet.

I saw a huge billboard here along the highway in Amsterdam East.
Graphic cards arent virtualized. So if you want games, you gotta go to the Bootcamp!

128kbit a lot of bandwidth? In Africa maybe.
Takes about 10 minutes per CD. Streaming is instant. Streaming wins.

I've been using Windows since 1954, and I've never needed a manual to open them!

Could you elaborate on this? The website doesnt tell me much.
