    The weird thing is that there are several entries in the statistics page http://www.top500.org/stats/list/35/os [/URL] that actually ALSO are linux, not just the top 405, but also the RedHat, CentOS CNL, SLES, (CellOS?) etc entries.... Looking at it that way UNIX is already outcompeted with a few entries of AIX and opensolaris. I wonder what happened to Plan9 on the Blue Gene....

    You might be able to annotate, but until the books are really designed to be functional from a handheld device it is painful.As a personal example, I have a 1,000 page PDF of a code book on my iPad. Or, I did for an hour. Book couldn't load reliably, couldn't navigate the two-tiers of TOCs, and it just wasn't a logical arrangement. The navigation requires a whole new level of abstraction rather than just forward/back; search doesn't come close.(No, the PDF wasn't a legal offering from the publisher. The

    No it's apathy with politics. The reason that most people don't see a difference between candidate A and B, is because they don't do research and instead rely on 3 man sources of information: Their friends, the news media, and preconceived notions they already hold.

  17. Re: on Military Appoints General To Direct Cyber Warfare · · Score: -1

    Besides DARPA, the very idea of "despite fears that the move marks another stage in the militarisation of cyberspace" assumes that other countries haven't already taken this step, just not quite as publicly. In my mind, it just means that the US government is actually taking a serious threat... seriously.

    No, I'm not an economist and have no delusion that they can ACTUALLY repair the damage with money. I do, however, believe that forcing them to try is a valuable economic feedback mechanism in a political environment that will accept only a capitalist solution. This has the nice side effect that it will cost them orders of magnitude more than doing the job with appropriate precautions would.At the very least it's better than allowing them to do nothing and just letting the affected parties go on welfare (and

  20. Re: on Toyota Partners With Tesla To Make Electric Cars · · Score: -1

    Seat heaters can do quite a lot to increase core body temperature, and they're often less than 100W. A 1000W heater properly designed should have no trouble staving off hypothermia. The bigger problem with your hypothetical scenario is that the power of the batteries decreases as well at low temperatures. Thankfully the truly life,threatening temperatures are a corner case. Most of the population doesn't live there.

  21. Re: on Toyota Partners With Tesla To Make Electric Cars · · Score: -1

    I disagree that life-threatening temperatures are a corner case that most of the population won't experience. Being stranded without heat for too long even at 40F can result in a threat to your life. I will agree that -60F is a corner case, but that doesn't mean it can be ignored altogether.
