    fair play (i.e. i agree) but try to google any phonetic spelling of the word. i kept getting http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Laser-Faire_Economics

    no i dont think that is correct - think of it this way. the arctic glaciers are above sea level - when they melt they will be at sea level. whatever volume was above before and become below (or in) now is the additional volume which will raise the levels.

  4. want $1bn from Govt? on US Corps Want $1B From Gov't For Battery Factory · · Score: 2, Interesting

    when did it become ok to rely on the government to put up funds to save / create business? this is the opposite of lazaire faire (no i dont know how to spell that).

    unfortunately i would have to read the entire EULA to dispute that with you. i'd do that but a friend of mine died of boredom trying to read one of those

  8. Re:Seems extreme to me on In Japan, a Billboard That Watches You · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they realize how numb the public is to this by now? I don't know if there have been studies, but it seems to me, the older you get, the less you want, I could be wrong, I am just speaking from personal experience.

    this is the study on how numb we have become.

  9. Re:Dental Applications? on Injectable Artificial Bone Developed · · Score: 2, Informative

    i believe the difference is that your dentist used the cadaver bone and protein mix to create a mortar type substance (like you said) - that is just to fill the space up. but the bone is not live i.e. -- if it gets damaged it wont heal it self, there are no nerves in it, and your body wont naturally maintain it

    seriously? alot more than you can possibly imagine.
    this line of thought is surprisingly deficient in logic

    this guy has it right:

    Just about everything from this to a piece of string could be used as a grisly murder weapon

  18. Re:All this shows is that Atom is clock limited on MSI Wind U100, Overclocked With Liquid Nitrogen · · Score: 1

    i totally agree it would be nice to see the max undervolt w/ stock speed this chip can do. but this is the improved chip!

    just compare the atom n270 (in almost every netbook) to a comparable core duo or solo

    now look at the stated Thermal Design Power - its 2.5watts vs. 34w vs. 31w respectively. that is more than a couple of magnitudes less. and the voltage is lower for the Atom than the Core Duo/Solo too. the fact that this chip is reaching these speeds while consuming relatively no power is the part that makes my jaw drop.

    but i disagree that this shows the chip is clock limited by design. i think that the design pushing very near what the chip can do (much closer than Intel's other offerings in any case). this is why - i overclock my xeon quad from 2.13 to 3ghz with nothing more than the stock heat sink - this speed was limited by the heat being generated (it was over 85*C [also fyi 8hours orthos stable]). imagine how high i can get my chip up if it were are -20*C. ask any overclocker out there they will tell you that you can expect a 25%-33% overclock on a pure stock setup. (i.e. this atom stock setup is much closer to it's limits than typical chips being sold)

    meh, not really. it would have over heated with out the fan and turned itself off. (this is a daily occurrence for overclockers like me [that is not very good ones])

    its interesting that you didnt get all the factory defaults when you cleared CMOS though, that is strange

  20. Re:Interesting, but nothing really new on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 1

    i think your definition of the business model for the internet is incorrect. its not like a movie or a tv show that is being broadcast (i.e. limited availability / live only [yes, tivo changes this model but the delivery method stays the same]) its like a magazine, where you have the choice to look or not look at the ads or cut them out as you wish. this is in no way a violation of the usage agreement between a magazine and me or a website and me. just my 2cents

  21. screen real estate on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 1

    chrome is best suited for small screens like on a netbook. i mean, i love my firefox and all, but the screen real estate management (yes, i just made up that term) in chrome is second to none.

  23. Re:ZDNet is missing the point on How About an iPhone OS Or Android-Based Netbook? · · Score: 1

    That's like saying a bike could be a good car, you only need to add two wheels, an engine and a body.

    yes exactly. only thing is, is that bike technology hasnt significantly improved unlike cell phones. i would equate the zack morris brick style cellphone to the bicycle you are referring to.

    but then what do we call a cellphone that has gps, 7Mbit wan, 5mp camera, full browser + flash, etc, etc, etc.

    i'd call that closer to a motorcycle like a honda gold wing - like you said just add two wheels and a body... (engine is already there [for the cellphone too - which i believe is the point of a product like this])

    as much as the dollar has fallen - so has other countries' currency fallen as well. because world's economy depends on the USD (well its all interdependent, really). in january it was about $1.47 to the euro it is now $1.27 for 1 euro. the GBP (english pound) also took a nose drive - january it was $1.97 to the pound - it is now about $1.53 to a pound. http://www.x-rates.com/d/USD/EUR/hist2008.html
