  1. feature still "soon-to-release"? Why Release then? on Mandrake 8.0 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    >The compiler RH ships is the CVS for the soon-to-be-released GCC 3.0 which is in feature freeze. If a feature is still "soon-to-be-released", then why put up a distro thats set up to take advantage of something that isnt there yet, thus making it unstable. >RH7.0 is the biggest boost GCC 3 could have gotten RH7.0 may be the biggest boost GCC 3 could have gotten but it was definately the biggest stumbling block RH7.0 could have gotten. Unless of course you like a broken compiler. >The only reason that stupid flamewar started... Maybe you should vent to Marc Lehman in person. Its one thing to state your ideas and facts, but slandering someone by blaming them for a flame war is far from mature or professional.

  3. Like a House without a roof?!?! What!?!?! on Microsoft vs. "Naked PCs" · · Score: 1

    Microsoft states "Naked PCs are those sold without operating systems preinstalled. Machines are useless until customers install system software themselves. It's like selling a house without a roof. And, in the end, it leaves your customer just as exposed." I dont know who they have writing this stuff but he should look into another department. This analogy is totally bunk. Selling a computer without os is NOT like a house without a roof. Its more like: An Apartment unfurnished vs. a furnished apartment. Because some people already have furnishings. Why pay extra for a furnished apartment when you already have furnishings. Your just going to throw away or store the furnishings provided, in replacement with your own. Likewise. Why buy a computer with an OS when Your just going to wipe it out and put your own on.

  4. Re:Overclocking Space is cold not HOT! on 2001: A Space Laptop · · Score: 1

    true a vacuum is a perfect insulator. but that is against conduction and convection transfer of heat. conduction is from one material to another material. and convection is when a substance flows over another like air from a fan. what about radiation of heat? Laws of thermodynamics and equilibrium of heat and energy. an objects heat should attempt to create equilibrium with the space around it, which in this case is an incredibly vast vacuum. And because space as a vacuum has virtually no particles like atmosphere to hold an ambient temperature around the object to create equilibrium with, it should then theoretically lose all heat into space until it reaches absolute zero. Note: If heat isnt radiated in space, then neither should any other form of energy, but explain the sun and the stars. how do we see light from them, or feel heat from the sun (aside fromstreaming particles hitting us) if heat and energy is not raidated in a vacuum?
