I think that there is already more mobile phone activated lines than people here in my country (a friend used it in a conversation with me, some days ago...)

Re:Disable Flash

On: Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE

What keeps me from using Midori in this cases is the lack of FlashBlock (ABP works very well in it - besides this, its really a nice extremely light browser!)

Re:1 Watt is HUGE on mobile!

On: Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE

Of course, I've already dropped FIrefox's power consumption significantly using Adblock, Noscript and so on

I think IE don't beat that...

It (https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/flashblock/), and http://adblockplus.org/, keeps Firefox usable on Old computers

Re:Browser energy?

On: Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE

you don't need a virus scanner in windows and even if you have one it probably won't save you anyway... hardened IE security settings and disabling of plugins should be sufficient unless you're into warez and porn, and if you're dumb enough to click on links in unsolicited email you deserve a good infection

Say that to average Joe user :-)

Unfortunately, yes... "legacy" stinks :P * the power savings applies to IE6?

And same company would have to pay additional admins to troubleshoot security problems.

And magic ones, that don't consume power to work! :P

Re:It adds up

On: Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE

I haven't used IE in ages, as there is no Linux version so can't even try it.

Its my case too (and, I think, of various people here)

Re:It adds up

On: Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE

And the people I work with keep moving the dam stapler!

It's a common problem here!

Re:It adds up

On: Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE

I fail to see how using IE over the other major browsers yields a net saving. Power usage is only one factor.

how much are you losing elsewhere in lost productivity, insecurity, virus infestations, etc, because you are using IE

IT support contractors are doing quite nicely

They don't user power! Oh, wait: it's not possible...

as memory hungry as Firefox (My only gripe with the browser)

Have you tried the Browser in the last year? How "memory hungry"?

Re:Something It Isn't

On: Google Glass: What's With All the Hate?

I can even record on my phone without anyone knowing because it just looks like I'm using my phone.

No you can't, phones are designed to make cameras absolutely blatantly obvious. If they weren't, there would be a lot of places where they would be banned.

You misunderstood "record": audio/sound is the talk-about, in the case

Re:Sounds like a game name

On: Mageia 3 Released

I personally prefer the Debian area of the Linux family tree (currently Mint (Xfce) on Desktops and Debian on servers).

I personally prefer the RedHat area of the Linux family tree (currently Fedora on Desktops and RHEL/CentOS on servers).

Re:There should some kind of standard

On: AMD Announces Radeon HD 8970M High-End Mobile GPU

And as far as standard connectors for phones go, it's called USB. Sure, over the years my phones have changed from having miniUSB to microUSB, but I'm happy to call that my standard, and if your phone doesn't have it then you need to reconsider changing phones.
