How many laptops do you know where you need to remove just one screw to change the hard drive?
My Toshiba Satellite 2060CDS from 1999 had this, along with the tit mouse. Ah, the good old days when even "consumer" lines of machines were decent. My next laptop was a Fujitsu Amilo in 2005, and it likewise had the HD behind a single screw. Unfortunately, nipple mice had all but disappeared, and this one only had a trackpad. Later, though, I did have a Fujitsu Esprimo at work, complete with the clit. I think I finally need to bite the bullet and get a real Thinkpad for myself...
IMHO, Free software and open source come from the ideals of the scientific method. You publish the way you got your findings, and so on. I have no idea why non-free software is even allowed for doing serious science.
Then again, most of my experience of "doing science" has basically been outsourced R&D. Funded by the industry, with partly classified results, using closed software. It's probably called "science" because it happened in a university building. (If this sounds bitter, it is only because the couple of beers I've had were well hopped.)
It is, so let me elaborate. I think those who want anonymity off the web are basically committing the logical fallacy of argument by authority.
In any civilized discussion, it is the content that matters, not who said it. This should be obvious, but in practice people are easily, subconsciously fooled by names and titles, or the lack of them; AC opinions on/. are generally held less worthy than those of registered users, no matter what they say. Posting under a known name makes you think a little more before posting, though, but it also leads to unnecessary weeding out of good ideas.
OTOH, a discussion is easier to follow if we can tell different ACs apart, so I don't mind having some policy for these. Even so, enforcing that a real person can only have one username would go a little too far.
Disclaimer: in the grand/. tradition, I did not read the article, and I barely skimmed over the summary. This is just my standard rant against the anti-anonymity camp.
It might be interesting to consider the efficiencies of machines against theoretical limits. For example, Watt managed a few %, and today's combustion engines are fairly close to theoretical limits at tens of %.
The limit for computing efficiency is that it takes about kT of energy to process one bit. At the moment we're many orders of magnitude away.

Oh yeah? Well I had the whole concept of Carbon-14 Dating wrong!
I first read that as "ulimitless", which kind of made sense.

I've had it with these motherfucking eels on this motherfucking hovercraft!

vacuum cleaners suck -- 9 220 000
black holes suck -- 6 510 000
Not to mention the number fo songs written in C. In particular, C# is a real pain with all those black keys.
like a lead zeppelin.
That sounds really dangerous. They should probably install light emitting diodes as warning signs...
What a moron. Seriously, fuck you.
(Disclaimer: As a kid, I fell into this lead cauldron...)
How long did it take? Also, did you start with hydrogen, or did you actually make it _from scratch_?
(See also: Linux from scratch -- installing Ubuntu for someone in return for a little touching...)
What doesn't that freaking book have? How to please a woman in 100 ways?
That part is called Song of Songs.
the first Atom to feature Intel's own graphics processor
I have an Atom D510 with integrated Intel graphics.
GMA 3150 GPU and memory controller are integrated into the processor.
Does that count? I bought the motherboard in 2010.
you had capitals and punctuation luxury
Can I volunteer?
But is hydroelectricity worth a dam?

People should be required to use full names and titles. After all, the opinion of a professor is much more worthy than that of a manual worker.

Look, that was maybe good for a chuckle the first time somebody pointed it out.
But correlation is not causation!
It's Ylönen with an o-umlaut.
His name is Tatu Ylönen.

These aren't the roids you're looking for.
"My balls are as smooth as pearls, and you know how much women love pearls"
Not to mention their love for the necklace you can make with them.
Duh, you'll just have to hack the Gibson.
You mean the Enemy at the Gates?
