do you mean "the human body generates about 60 to 100 Watts of energy" ? similar to saying "the car covers distance at 100 km/h" which is not too bad. i have seen much worse.
I was recently involved in producing a feature length creative commons film. we wanted to make it available as a http download (as well as bittorrent and streaming via youtube). we used internet archive. its been downloaded over 25k times from them. finding a commercial host that could manage that would have cost a fair bit of money (which we don't have). so thanks archive.org, hope my donation helps.
FSF is happy with binary blobs as long as they are burned into a ROM. https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/task2-openmoko The openmoko did not see any benefit from the course of action, and so kept the blob on the filesystem in the hope that one day it can be replaced.
(Also i have huge respect and am very grateful for the great code that has come from the GNU project)
It seems to me that in the early days of the FSF the main role was writing software. A huge chunk of that code is what makes up modern day free operating systems. A lot of it is class leading software (bash, gcc, emacs, etc). In the past few years it seems that the FSF is far more involved in campaigning than coding. Is this an accurate view of the situation? Is this intentional, and if so why? Should the FSF be trying to create a class leading web browser, for example.
simple (as long as you own the copyright to *all* the code in your program, and the following is allowed by any libraries that you link to).
* release the source code under the GPL * compile a second version of your program plus what every DRM you want, and charge money for it. * use trademarks to stop anyone compiling the GPL version and distributing it (unless they change the name).
Oil rigs are pretty good at exploding on their own without huge waves. we need something to cloak the ocean (and the atmosphere) from from the effects of oil rigs. soviet russia you're our only hope.
I have always thought of chromebooks being pretty much dependant on a web connection to do anything useful, but the C7 has a pretty serious amount of local storage. does that mean it could be used to do most things offline? document editing? playing audio and video? photo editing?
AMD are having tough times in several sectors of the CPU market (server and low end desktop seems ok). some company resort to lawsuits to cling on, very glad to see diversification instead. GPUs only get so far for HPC, a large number of simple cores on a die will be applicable to a wider set of tasks.
with a good gamma ray you can detect tiny traces of radioactivity. you can also identify the isotope it came from. if its potassium then its natural, if its caesium then its from a recent man made source. if the radiation from caesium is 1% the amount from the potassium you can still measure it, and write a scary headline.
probably the heavy metals in the fish will do you far more harm. and thats probably elevated with all the cars and junk that got washed into the sea. its a bit harder to measure though. whats the half-life of mercury or lead though?
dont the publishers mostly have them selves to blame. they demanded DRM, which inherently results in lock in. now there customers have a bunch of kindle books that they would have to buy again if they wanted to move to different hardware.
network transport RF frequency has nothing to do with CPU speed. I have used 802.11b on plenty of sub 1GHz machines. PDA and phones use IR communication which is more than 100THz.
given that they dont mention the efficiency one can only assume that it is bad.
even if the CO_2 + H_2O -> petrol part very efficient, concentrating CO_2 from 400ppm to a useful amount must take a fair amount of energy (otherwise CCS would be cheap and easy).
There are lots of arm dev boards. though none quite as cheap as the raspberry pi. for example I have had a beagleboard for several years, its a bit bigger (though still tiny by most standards), and quite a bit more expensive. If you want smaller you could look at gumstix. if you only need 8bit then arduino. if you want ubuntu support you could look at pandaboard. if you want a 16/64 core coprocessor then parallella.

libreoffice.
(Or MS Office, assuming you had the source code. I guess you could probably do it through Qemu and wine if you really wanted)

wish my laptop had a build in mouse instead of a crappy trackpad.

I have only just finished reading the HTML4 spec.
SUSE enterprise linux has offered BTRFS as a supported option since Feb.
Conservative folk wont touch it until they know its been used by millions of people for many years.
I use it with backups on ext4.
except you control the keys

yes, you can update using apt. but it not recommended.

is there really much difference in price between a 320GB hdd and a 32GB ssd (assuming its only used for caching) for a bit OEM?

bananas are radioactive. so is lots of stuff.

A good reason to keep openoffice in existance is to make this list as long as possible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument#Software
most of the openoffice devs are now libreoffice devs, so most of the recent development happens there. libreoffice is working on an android version.

for every other sort of driver many companies have no trouble releasing open drivers. graphics cards are not a special case.
