  1. Do that for the laptops as well on Fujitsu Could Help Smartphone Chips Run Cooler · · Score: 1

    And desktops. That would reduce the fans work (and their own heat!) and the ugly noise that comes out of it.

  2. Re:Co'on on Why There Is No Such Thing as 'Proper English' · · Score: 1

    Sorry, forgot to mention: use a time machine.

  3. Co'on on Why There Is No Such Thing as 'Proper English' · · Score: 1

    Just try to listen to a 200 years old English recording, you wouldn't understand it. Languages evolve, and in a few 10's of years no American will understand the current British English.

    I heard that in 1761, already.

  5. Great feature! on Windows 10 Enables Switching Between Desktop and Tablet Modes · · Score: 2

    Really, great feature. Ok, now, let's be practical: can Linux be installed over windows-10 as usual?

  6. Re:Stupid question on Why There Is No Such Thing as 'Proper English' · · Score: 4, Funny

    Difference is the American English is taking over the British English. American culture is invading everywhere through movies and dramas, news etc... Why not just accept once and for all that English is, from now on, American English?

  9. Re:HOWTO on How To Execute People In the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    I do agree, and thank you for posting this, despite your weird name. However, please, please, explain why. That's not obvious for 50+% of Americans (especially the ones located near Texas).

  10. Re:Apps? on Microsoft Has Received 1 Million Pieces of Feedback For Windows 10 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A program can be a driver, a service, an application...

    A lot of redundancy in all of that. And no, you don't have an iWatch.

    oh you mean the IoT!

  13. Re:They're doing it wrong. on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    Homeopathy is asymptotic ... 1 / 0 is undefined. 1 / 0+ is infinity...

  14. Re:Not stable yet? on NTP's Fate Hinges On "Father Time" · · Score: 1

    The protocol isn't simple for the dudes who don't understand it. But it's not linked [much] to kernel and libraries. Basically, once it works, it keeps working. There are some refinement to perform from time to time, but nothing à la Gnome.

  15. Re:Not stable yet? on NTP's Fate Hinges On "Father Time" · · Score: 1

    NTP is pretty independent in the OSS world. A server - maybe dedicated - is based on a hwclock that gives very precise time. Dependencies? Network, ssl maybe... And that's it. So once security and ipv6 are working fine, done. Don't touch it anymore.

  16. Re:Let's do an experiment: Kidney Failure Treatmen on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    Don't be silly. Conventional medicine doesn't work for everything. Homeopathy doesn't work for everything either.

  17. Re:They're doing it wrong. on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    Nooope. You have to use at least abit of it. The smaller it is, the more effective it is. Zero doesn't qualify. So, physics says 10^-26 is like zero, mathematics say 10^-26 is > zero. Homeopathy works differently if you re a math guy or a physics guy.

  18. Re:no better than placebo??? on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    Placebo == lie

  19. Re:And if you find this result upsetting... on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    Yeah but does that mean that alternative medicine doesn't work?

  20. Long story short on Endurance Experiment Kills Six SSDs Over 18 Months, 2.4 Petabytes · · Score: 1

  21. Not stable yet? on NTP's Fate Hinges On "Father Time" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    No offence, but NTP simple time protocol as it is is surely reliable enough that it doesn't need more maintenance (after IPv6). Don't fix what ain't broken.

  22. Re:Place your bets... on Proxima Centauri Might Not Be the Closest Star To Earth · · Score: 1

    Have a question for you since you seem knowledgeable and you are on a show-off mood. What would happen is someone gets close to Jupiter and lights a lighter?

  23. Why Gnome? on The Role of a Nonprofit In Open Source Development · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    KDE is among the biggest open source projects which continues to innovate and evolve with the changing times

    So why main distribs mainly offer Gnome as a first gui?

  24. Re:This is what happens... on $7.4 Million Blurred Lines Verdict Likely To Alter Music Business · · Score: 1

    Rapid production gives musics based on existing schemes and patterns. A rap song melody is usually composed in a couple hours (the text may take more). Taking time to create a music with a more subtle melody reduces the collision risk.

  25. This is what happens... on $7.4 Million Blurred Lines Verdict Likely To Alter Music Business · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...when releasing cheap music. "Blurred lines" was made within a few hours. The collision with an existing older music is likely (a lot of this kind of scores are similar on many aspects - let alone techno, rap, and dance musics). Similar complains and verdicts could happen a lot more. What makes any difference here are two important conditions: 1) Marvin Gaye was a top-star and his rich family keep a close watch [they've got nothing else to do] 2) Williams and Thicke made a ton of bucks with "blurred lines".
    Besides, listened to both musics and the "collision" is much less obvious than many other two-musics I heard in the past ; the older song being probably less watched and a claim less profitable.
