But water has already had enthalpy put in during its formation from H2 + O, much in the same way that you can get energy from oil because the energy has been put in already and you get the enthalpy of combustion out.
Because the world is not a closed system it is possible that by changing the temperature,pressure and entropy of the system you change a reaction that was previously endothermic to an exothermic one. So while you cant actually take more energy out of a system than was put in to it, you can take advantage of "free energy" in the form of environmental differences between the when the substance was formed and is destroyed or chemicals that 'you' didn't bond together to take more energy out of a chemical that was put in.
e.g if you form water from 2H+O above 0'c to get out 286 KJ mol-1 then you go to somewhere below 0'c and separate the ice back into 2H + O, which will take 244 KJ mol-1 leaving you with 46KJ per mol
1) encrypt something 2) send encrypted data to their computer 3) send key to their computer 4) wait for somebody to take a memory dump 5) NO profit
Even if somebody was to make a binary blob to prevent memory dumps at kernel level, all you need is to run linux in a virtual machine (i hear its good at that) or use some rootkit.
Open pop-ups as a tab that doesn't fill the screen, but isn't a new window? not entirely sure what you mean, you can open all popus in tabs. Feeds are in the default install The rest are available as extension well apart from horizontal scroll which is an about:config line.
Like everything there are good and bad extensions, if you have a memory leak it is most likely caused by a bad extension, everything you've listed can (well apart from mouse gestures ive never tested the mouse gesture extensions, as I'm not into that shit) be done with very good extensions. To me an IRC cleint, a fully fledged feed reader and mouse gestures would be bloat, even if not on a code level then defiantly on an interface level.
I'm sure opera is great if you browse the web exactly like the opera devs expect or are willing to mould yourself to their image, OTOH if you want a personalised web browser (without the hastle of coding the personalisation yourself) nothing even comes close to firefox.
right so opera comes with: *flashblock (or an equivalent function that removes flash but puts individual items, one click away) *compact menus & fusion(e.g the ability to compress the entire interface a single bar, while still *having all the status bar information & tools 1 click away) *customise goggle (e.g a goggle page that dynamically loads the results as you scroll) *inline translation *inline search menus (e.g select the word troll and get wikiepdia/google/etc searches for it)
and these are just the features that interest me, to anybody else they would be bloat
As for the single-process design, mozilla have done a microsoft, they realise that it need to be fixed but thier too worried about making extentions too hard to do anything about it.
hmm username/passwords isn't working maybe ill try 1234/pass, *knocking at door*, nothing to see here people.

I've never delved into the code in X, but I suspect that X... oh who am i kidding, I've never looked into the code, I have no idea how that shit works, in fact it would be rather stupid to continue writing when I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.
+3 interesting? more like -1 offtopic, the use of the anthropotic principle (weak/strong) to explain the existance of the universe in which we live is completly unrelated to evolution.
And given the radiation produce by the sun depends on the quantum mechanics (on a microscopic level it depends soley on the details of 4hydrogen -> He) i strongly suspect the entire article is pure bullshit, deliberatly confusing the reader by changing from one model to another and then pointing out contradictions which dont actually exist in either model.
Its about time, i think kde PIM is finally merging IM and given the scripting throughout KDE it shouldn't be to hard to add social networking interaction too (especially as most spam you with emails about what's happening so a simple script could probably turn those 100 pirates v ninja initiations into useful information).
i really had high hoped for TB but theyve really missed the boat this one.
Care to cite an example of somewhere an OSS project has dethroned a leading products PURELY because its free?
In most areas where you actually rely on software, the cost of the software will be insignificant compared to the time wasted using an inferior product.
Yeah sure some people need SUVs but most people driving them are just dick swinging.
Ironically with the substantial savings MOST SUV drivers could make by not driving SUVs they could afford to gain 80" a month (i got an email telling me it happened to this one guy so it must be true)
Informative for a post that is in a word wrong, have the mods truly lost it. should i say i have 2 orange (orange is the SI unit for oranges) or 100 banana.
im not sure what shit your talking but it is defiantly wrong.
Given that some of the most prominent OSS developers have no problem using proprietary tools, the only reason these guys are going out of business is because they suck.
If an OSS tool has been developed that is better than yours its because yours sucked in the first place, a straight clone of a proprietary product won't get anywhere, there has to be plenty of room to improve and the improvement has to be worth the effort.
Apple are far worse than MS in many ways, Microsoft lockin was mainly through technical (e.g changing formats every version) & economic ( offering cheaper OEM versions to MS only shops) means, but Apple go the whole hog and have a stupid legal restrictions too. That said Apple do base a lot of their stuff on OSS software (although they wrap it away and have no intention of open sourcing anything they dont have to).
So while Apple weakening Microsoft's dominance is good, I'm not sure if id rather see apple overloards to Microsoft ones.

youtube uses flash which eats your ram.

Or they realise that aslong as it works, nobody outside of slashdot cares if it renders pages in 100ms or 200.
probably more like "you're going to get one of our own, of at least my rank, killed"
