I know this is/. and we're not supposed to RTFA, but to quote:
For our MP3 encoding test, the VIA Nano processor used a total of 37,323 watt-seconds (Joules) of energy while the Intel Atom processor used 38,290 watt-seconds (Joules) of energy. That is a difference of just 2.5% indicating that even though the Atom processor is slower, it's not that much less efficient than VIA's Nano.
And later on the same page:
Using the same method to gauge the results of our CineBench 10 test, we find that the VIA Nano used 63,434 watt-seconds (Joules) of energy to render the scene while the Intel Atom used 65,893 watt-seconds (Joules) of energy - an advantage of 3.8% to the VIA CPU.
Craigslist may disclose information about its users if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process.
If you look at that, there's really no deal at all. Craigslist is doing exactly what they said they would
Yeah, your graphics definitely look more Mac-ish. I guess the idea I was trying to get across was that if they haven't been sued, then your probability is pretty low. At least unless your apps really take off. (which might not be a bad thing;))
Parenting is an exponentially decaying function. Kids require a lot when they're young, and then less as they age, to the point where they don't really need it any more. But it's still barely there.
And along with that, I'd like it to scroll when I put the mouse over it and scroll my mouse button. It drives me nuts when I try to scroll a background window in Windows, and the foreground window scrolls.
If you want magazine that does a good job summarizing recent developments in science in layman's terms (or pretty close), I've found Science News to be pretty good. I certainly enjoy reading it, and I feel they do a good job of summarizing without dumbing down.
Blizzard always releases late. People understand them. Why? Because Blizzard, ID, Ravensoft and no others I can think of, have managed to release a bug free or complete product. Most of their fixes, in my memory, have been playbalancing, rare bugs on rare configs, etc. But their games WORK. Other people's games... often hit and run.
I've had good luck so far with Kerberos Productions. However, they've only made one game so far (Sword of the Stars), so if you don't like 4X games, you're kinda out of luck
In the long run, the only readily available sources of energy are renewable sources: solar energy and terrestrial energy (e.g., wind and waves).
Almost all of the energy we use comes from the sun, with nuclear and geothermal being (the) exceptions. The main difference is whether we're using the energy as the sun is producing it (wind, wave, solar) or we're using energy that's been stored from previous eons of sunlight (coal, oil). So I agree with what you're saying insofar as we shouldn't be using more energy than the sun is giving us right now, and we should strive to make that come from the current energy output rather than stored output.
Right now, the sky-high price for oil is useful in reminding us that there are limits to our resources.
(By the way, we will deplete our mineral resources like copper and iron ore long before we deplete our non-renewable sources of energy.)
But I'm going to have to disagree with you here. We will never actually run out of copper or iron or oil. As the amount of these resources that is naturally occurring decreases, the price will rise to the point that: (A) It becomes cost-efficent to dig through landfills and recycle previously used resources, and (B) other materials that were previously too expensive for the application will now be cost-effective.
Also useful if you're a vim user and choose to remap ESC for a long editing session.
CTRL+[ is equivalent to ESC in vim, and doesn't require quite as much reaching.
The same logic says that the consumer passes his or her costs on to one's employer.
Any increased costs to the content owners must be passed on to the consumers, because charging the consumers is how the content owners cover their costs. When my ISP bill goes up, on the other hand, my employer is not suddenly going to start paying me that much more per month.
This is why the GP is saying that the costs of the content owner are passed to the consumer, but not the consumer's employer.
Firefox doesn't behave how I like by default because it's, um, open source software I guess.

From TFA:
The prototype currently runs on Linux with KHTML as the layout engine. The long-term plan is to create a cross-platform Webkit version that will be released to the open-source community So I don't think it's going to be quite "super slow"

Exactly. A total bullshit statement, pardon my Anglo-Saxon.

You mean kind of like Tali?
I think it's because an OS should have the shiny UI, *and* reliability/good hardware support.
I think Vista is a pretty good reason why trying for just the one doesn't work.
"Parenting" - it doesn't end at birth.

Cool. I'll have to try this when I get home, as I don't have admin rights on my computer here at work. Thanks for the tip!

No problem.
But next time, remember that taking all the jokes is shellfish.
And they won't even tell us how they do the time travel thing ... that's why open source is so much better.

Easy, we just keep posting dupes on /. so that future generations can't forget.

So basically, they're saying that future networks will be faster than current networks?
And this surprises us why?

I initially read this as momentarily. Perhaps this is more accurate?
