    And unless you're using the Safepeer plugin the startup is fast and smooth.

    If using Safepeer , just select it to load asynchronously and bob's your uncle.

  3. Thats one piece of Good news on EU Says No To Software Patents · · Score: 1

    I think people are getting tired of the present crop of autocratic leaders - Schroeder, Chirac, Blair , Berlusconi et al.

    For far too long , they have imposed their will over the people of Europe and they have been able to get away because there werent any alternatives.

    But now we realize that we have just been feeding their megalomania.Beginning with the 2005 General Elections in Britain and the Referendum in France the people have made clear that the present european leadership is not in tune with their wishes.

    And this defeat is a realization by MEP's that ultimately , its us , the people who vote them into office.

    Yeah but how many people bother to have a cheap Divx/ Dvd player repaired.I got a broken Yamada DVX 6100. All the trouble is that a resistor in its power supply is shorted.For the price of a resistor i have a DVD player absolutely gratis.

  6. A Trillion here... on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    and a trillion there and pretty soon we are talking about real money.Seriously , do people who compile these studies even pause to think about the figures they are bandying about.The GDP of USA , the world's largest economy , is $10 Trillion.The figures of the first proposal are meaningless.

  10. Re:Service vs Replaceability on Setting the Bar for Customer Service? · · Score: 1

    Heck, in some regions of the company, away from big cities,

    Is that a Freudian slip or what? 60 years after defeating Ein Volk , Ein Reich , Ein Fuhrer , Americans have been brain washed to such an extent that Company has replaced Country in their subconsious?

  14. Re:Three times the velocity on Rail Guns Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    A rail gun, of sufficient capacity to catapult raw materials into orbit, would be a gigantic breakthrough for the whole planet.

    Unless there's some acceleration , atleast through the initial phase of flight when its passing through the dense lower atmosphere , i doubt the friction would let anything get away from earth.

  15. Re:morality debate on Rail Guns Closer to Reality · · Score: 2, Funny
