  1. Apple Cult on The Biggest Cults In Tech · · Score: 1

    The Apple camp is not only a cult, but it's the Scientology of tech cults.

  2. Re:Here it comes. on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 1

    Use the "Create and Edit Paths" tool. Click once to start the line go to where you want the line to end, click again. Then go to Edit->Stroke Path and select the options you want then click ok and you're done.

  3. Re:MacXGuy is lying on Slashback: Safety, Transmissions, Breakage · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily true. We're trying to run OS X on a dual G4. Not supported. Doesn't say so anywhere until you call Apple tech support. Specifically, it's a problem with the file sharing. When a user tried to browse the files on the server (the dual G4) it would lock up the appleshare. Soooooo, if hardware variance doesn't matter, why is tech support telling us that the hardware isn't supported yet?

  4. Re:Radiation is a big problem, heat too on Big Hopes for Tiny Satellites · · Score: 1

    Actually heat is not just a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the measure of the energy of the atoms/molecules of a substance (gas/liquid/solid/plasma et. al.). This energy produces (through some mechanism I'm unsure of) electromagnetic radiation in the infrared frequency range, and if the energy is high enough in the visible range. Heat transfer occurs through three means in this order of efficiency: Conduction, convection, and radiation. In Earth's atmosphere with cooling fins you are not actually relying on radiation, but rather convection. In space you only have radiation to rely on without a much more complicated heat removal system.
