  1. Re:40%! on Self-Assembling Photovoltaic Cells · · Score: 1

    Do you have any good links on this regard? I'm quite interested in this. I've been looking at (though not building yet) distillation refrigerators using solar heat as fuel.

    This is a good start. Earth tubing is easy to understand, easy to explain to luddites and is a fairly easy addon to an existing structure. And before anyone points it out I like the word easy.

    Why would you want to buy a PS3 to run Linux? While I think that companies disabling features at a later date sucks the big one and that the law is an ass I really think the whole I can't run Linux on my PS3 is a big wank.

  6. Re:Mid 1980's for me on 'Retro Programming' Teaches Using 1980s Machines · · Score: 1

    Up until a couple of years ago I was dealing with sites still running PDP-11's. One of these sites employed a new CS graduate as their sysadmin. She recommended they modernise all their systems and get rid of the one that had served their needs perfectly for decades. It was a total disaster. We were asked to come back and we chose not to fix the problem as we had warned them till we were blue in the face that she was going to destroy the infrastructure we had successfully maintained since its original implementation. We subsequently discovered she had sold all of their old equipment as scrap before the new setup had even been tested in its role(it failed miserably). She left shortly after causing this disaster and to give you an idea of the size of this DISASTER she scrapped over 400 VT220s(all replaced with brand new top of the line PCs). If you are out there Wendy W. you truly suck.

    It will probably only be a few years but the option will be made available to us all. The best part is there will be a panel of experts that convene to decide wether or not an addled person would like to choose that option. Imagine the bribery.

    Most online newspapers that have a paper copy seem to just regurgitate the same crap so the cost of news manufacture should be close to nil anyway. For large businesses like News Corp. the cost of running/staffing the website should be quite negligible when you look at the overall bottom line.

    The Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking, not growing. It's losing volume, which is the only significant definition of size when one considers climate issues.

    Albedo has no relevance recent research seems to indicate. What's the reasoning behind that again? Something to do with polar bear habitat shrinkage isn't it?
