  1. Re:How do they cool them that much? on Tanks Test Infrared Camouflage Cloak · · Score: 1

    Air conditioning is not a place to dump heat. It's a pump that removes heat from inside and dumps it outside - which was the original problem.

  2. Re:Anyone should be free to decide on Only Idiots Don't Give Back To Free Software · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately sometimes #1 and #2 is seen as possible business advantage.

  3. Re:Anyone should be free to decide on Only Idiots Don't Give Back To Free Software · · Score: 1

    It's not even about public fork. Having a private patched version for in-company use is not forbidden by GPL, however keeping it up to date usually takes more effort than pushing changes upstream in long term.

  4. Re:Personal Electronics on United Pilots To Use iPads For Navigation · · Score: 1

    The ban is only at takeoff/landing time. Actually as I recall from recent notifications - no electronics are allowed at takeoff/landing time, and the only electronics forbidden for whole flight are sattelite phones / two way pagers. So cell phone should be ok (I even don't put it on airplane mode as it's not asked). I guess you could even set up wireless ap on notebook for some lan gaming :)

  5. strangely on Raspberry Pi $25 PC Goes Into Alpha Production · · Score: 1

    the coin in the picture makes no sense for me, however i got the feeling of size by USB connectors :)

  6. Re:Decent idea. on Massive Solar Tower Planned For Arizona · · Score: 1

    so why do they need so high tower? The general idea should be just providing opening so that air can get away through turbines.

  7. atty on Australian Attys General Agree in Principle on R18+ · · Score: 1

    what's the advantage of using atty instead of getty?

    Boss is one thing, but imagine accidental paste from wrong clipboard :p

  9. Re:Units on HTC To Buy S3 Graphics From VIA · · Score: 1

    That's probably square dollars. Imagine a line with 300 million 1 dollar banknotes on one side, then on each banknote put another 300M-1 banknotes on top :)

  10. Re:Units on HTC To Buy S3 Graphics From VIA · · Score: 1

    Yet you still say "past noon" after minutes and seconds which doesn't make sense

  13. Re:Programming in the future on JavaScript Gets Visual With Waterbear · · Score: 1

    I agree. Basically the need for complete programming environment is being able to develop itself.

    What? And don't earn their 33% from sales?

  15. Re:Best Practices on Sony Breach Gets Worse: 24.6 Million Compromised Accounts At SOE · · Score: 1

    well, it wouldn't bother me if they had my credit card number from 2007. Most credit cards have validity of couple years, so I would have changed them already.

    cool, inside schengen zone there should be no control whatever..

  19. Re:So? on Personal Info of 3.5 Million Texans Was Publicly Accessible · · Score: 1

    In country I live there is unique number identifying person, and it's supposed to be legally protected from storage/processing, however you can easily find it in legal documents circulating internet, or just in any legal document you have access to. This just doesn't work.

    Space Elevator. Btw you don't have to keep nuclear reactor inside craft, it could be located just outside the shields, cooled by vacuum. And it wouldn't have to be contained.
