    The mass of salt water displaced is equal to the total mass of the iceberg (above and beneath the waterline). So except for the small difference in density between salt water and fresh water, melting an iceberg doesn't raise the sea level.

    But an internal combusiont engine has a maximum theoretical efficeincy of about 60% (more like 20% in cars) while a fuel cell convert its energy directly to electricity with close to 100% efficiency...

    So, in all your years as a canadian, you never realized that french-speaking people from Quebec never speak english that way, it's those from France who do.

    Now maybe you understand why nobody's laughing at your "jokes".

  6. Be asked 400 millions $ to Apple.... on Palm To Purchase Be's IP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For those of you who don't remember, When Apple was interested in Be in 1996, Jean-Louis Gasse asked for 400 millions, It wasn't worth it so they went with NeXt instead :)

  7. Re:I think this needs asking... on Canadian Team Plans Balloon-Aided X-Prize Entry · · Score: 1

    Well that's interesting, I didn't know western canadians felt that way about eastern canadians.

    Also, if it makes you feel better, we do bash only americans sometimes for their extravagant culture (guns,trials,elections...). But we never bash english canadians specifically because you(in our culture) have no particular trait that americans don't have. For example, your obsession with flags and national anthem is shared by americans.

    You don't have to be sad that Canada is divided, it's like saying that it's sad that North america is so divided, it's just normal for different societies with different languages to have trouble understanding each other.

    You'll see that relations between french and english-speaking people here will greatly improve once politics gets out of the way (i.e. when Quebec becomes a country)

    And that's Quebec for you mister!

    Though we don't bash you specifically because you're exactly like american, we bash "les anglais"

    Nice cultural exchange!

    Explain how 'human' life is more important than 'vegetable' life? (or mushrooms or insects or whatever you eat) They are both living organisms, and I don't think that you can use any kind of measurement to say that one organism's life is worth more or less than another's.

  11. Re:What goes around comes around on Cobalt Networks Could Sue Apple Over Cube Design · · Score: 2

    Not quite the same thing.

    1) Apple spent a lot of money marketing their imac and eMachines tried to leech of of it.

    2) Cobalt is a virtually unknown company who probably spent less money on marketing their cube since it started selling than Apple spent attending Macworld to annouce their cube.

    3) Cobalt is making a publicity stunt to leech of the already bigger mindshare of the G4 Cube.

    4) Apple Entreprise (NeXT), made the NeXT Cube in 1989.

    Yeah right, this is exactly like e-machine because Apple is obviously leeching of Cobalt HUGE marketing budget and mindshare to help the sales of their cube.

    Since Windows is so common, it's more of an infrastructure than a product.
    And, like highways, it should be own by the government to insure that everybody has access to
    it. They could release the source but they would officially be in charge of maintaining it. They
    could buy the cocoa APIs from Apple and port them to Linux and other unix systems and we would
    have a standard api on all platforms.
