    Energy effectivity does not scale linearly does it?
    It did not last time I checked.

    If X is between 1 and 200, is X divided on X still 1? :P
    Besides, infinity is not a number nor a size, but a concept.
      A/A=1, yes?
    And I might still be learning lim at the moment, so I do not understand the evidence you bring against it either.

    Infinity divided on infinity is still theoretically speaking 1.
    And again: What number is a variable that has no size or value?

    If you have a computer, and the only way in is via logging in.
    Lets say it has a 10 digit unicode password.
    How do you figure out what the correct password is without bruteforcing it? Providing nothing silly like to much feedback(half the reason WEP was cracked), the only feedback you can get is True or false(true meaning access to the computer).
    How do you then find the password without guessing it?
    If we solved N == NP, then we have omnipotence.

    That is wrong.
    N = NP
    is a idea, which means
    N is a something, perhaps a formula, a treasure map, the password to a computer.
    NP is what you get for N.
    In if you find N, you can with calculation find NP.
    N is a NP to some other thing again, because of correlation.
    2*4 is still related to 2+2, because it is 2+2+2+2, etc.
    If we figure out this, it means we can get from A to D without going from A, we do not need to go anywhere either.
    Solving N = NP means is more or less figuring out how to aquire omnipotence.
    I find it to be a really silly idea.

    That is the question.

    I think he uses light bulbs because you have trouble finding a working heater for the situation. Nevermind the fact that a pipe is long either.
    Setting up few lightbuls is apparently cheap, effective, and the alterantive is a special designed monster.
    Another thing: He mentions 40watts instead of just "lightbulbs" which means that he likely tested them, and found out that the 40 watt does the job, where lower did not, and the higher output ones was a waist.

    He is saying that the entire "unoptimized engine running GFX at a really too heavy load for the day" is not impressive. He also presents a example, to give you a idea what he means.
    He ain't even talking about the entire console vs PC flamewar, but about what people praise Crysis for.

    Lets say your company adopts a BSD project and a GPL project.....
    The difference is that on the GPL you can only keep the code in house if you do not want to give out improvements.

    It is just that they lack the markedshare on the desktop/laptop marked to be forced to open it up.
    And unlike MS, they are not bloody everywhere, yet.
    And since they lack the markedshare, they won't be hit by anything like a anti-trust, so they can be a exclusive brand as long as they don't reach quite high markedshare.

    But has battery tech evolved anything at all in the last 10 years? I think IBM thinkpads had 6-7 hours of battery life back in the glory days, the "improvements" in battery tech so far seems to consist of getting rid of the battery decay problem, not adding in more power.

    He sent it in because of: "I have problem X, can you fix this?", they said: "Yes" and so he sent it in.
    He gets it back, problem still present, he goes BACK to the repair center, asks about it, and THEN they say something they should have said quite some time ago.
    He purchased a spesific service, they claim they can do the service, and they do not, they just take money for nothing.
    He is in his full rights to sue them, mainly because it seems the Italian costumer protection agency is not going to clear this up(which would have happened in some countries, like Norway).

    It is not about it being 7 inches, it is about it ALL OF THEM being 7 inches.
    If there was some variation(the galaxytab is 4 inches? it is variation), it would be interisting, but everything in 7 inches.
    But, it is not the screensize the tablets will fail on.
    My guess is that they will all fail on some of these:
    *Bad and/or slow interface
    *Fragmentation causing GUI programming to be bad
    *The cheap variants will ruin the marked
    Tablets has been around since pre-century, and it did never catch on until the iPad. Now that everything ships with superslow Android using a slow java interprenter, the package problem has been solved, but they will most likely still stumble and CRASH on the user interface.
    Then lets ask a question instead: Which tablets will we consider to be "good" after the year 2011 is over? Galaxy tab and succesor looks good, iPad created the segment, and I assume there will at the top be 1 additional good tablet to compete in the marked.

    Well, to defend the post you are quoting, if they just DID the switch, it would take 1 day.
    Just get all organizations to agree on doing "Switch to IPv6 dato xx.yy.zz", get done the preperation in advance, and switch over.
    I could care less if its expensive, most if not all the networks in question would have be to be altered sooner or later, the thing is that getting it done in replacing a 50 year old network instead of a 70 year one is not much different.
