  1. Re:Data protection act hmmm ;) on UK Anti-Piracy Firm E-mails Reveal Cavalier Attitude Toward Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    Including scanned PDF's with infringers full CC info, beat that?

  2. Privacy, there must be a law? on UK Anti-Piracy Firm E-mails Reveal Cavalier Attitude Toward Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    The emails contain spreadsheets with real people, with real adresses and their IP, containing which (adult) torrent they are charged with.

    There are also pdf's containing FULL Credit card information.

    Can't they be sued over that?

  4. Why so... on Europe To Import Sahara Solar Power Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Far Away?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masdar_City has got 60MWp and will be growing towards 500MWp which can feed 500 million households - strange to see that they have one of the largest oil reserves in the world (100 billion barrels)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldpolenz_Solar_Park has got 40MWp

    Looking at the EU fundings
    a max of 25% initial installation costs (min 1000 Wp, max 15000 Wp)
    then a 0.33 euro per kWh delivered back on to the net

    That is approx 0.55 cents per kWh refund

    Our energy suppliers MUST take my energy back on to it's net, because gov says so.

    Now looking at my roof it's a flat roof so all panels can be placed in optimal conditions which would make approx 75kWh a Year (In the Netherlands) with 100Wp

    I can handle approx 15000 Wp on my roof

    Initial investment:
    80.000 euro

    Let's say I'd go for a cheaper solution installed by professionals

    1000Wp - 750 kWh/year
    +/- 2800 euro investment with the funding already taken off that number

    I'm using a stagering 5200 kWh a year and I'd reduce that number with the 750kWh
    that would be awesome not?

    The fact that those solarpanels on my roof make it a lot hotter it needs extra cooling.

    I'd like more funding before I get some people to install those panels on my roof.

    That funding can be done if they don't create some third world infrastructure, instead, fund EU first.

    Once I get that, EU will have my power without all those changes for infrastructure.

  7. Testing shows the presence, not the absence of bug on Toyota's Engineering Process and the General Public · · Score: 1

  8. There is no time to quit on Lessons of a $618,616 Death · · Score: 1

    Allthough I agree a little bit with fluffeh:
    - I would ask at what point did HE stop wanting to go through all the medicines and procedures?
    - If you ask me, that's when it should have stopped.

    I've been through that process with several people that eventually died,

    The main thing that keep hopes up is that they will find a cure for the problem within the time frame.

    Yes, I know, it sounds like irrational, but missing the one you love is keeping up taking the effort of holding someone alive

    And that point, that very fine point is the point where you just keep going, and don't quit.

    There is no time to quit until reality and rationality wins in your hopes...

  9. Re:CPU speed vs memory bandwidth, I don't get it on IBM Releases Power7 Processor · · Score: 1

    You are totally right, my bad, it's a blade js23

    But still I don't understand why it still uses ddr2 and should it be faster...

  10. CPU speed vs memory bandwidth, I don't get it on IBM Releases Power7 Processor · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can understand why you would get a Power chip for pure number crunching.
    But having a lot of data to chew away, I use p-threading for the larger jobs and let the rest of the jobs over to the os.

    I was always under the assumption that data has to be delivered to the cpu fast, very fast and since the Power6 rs6000 only supports ddr2 I don't get it.

    We recently bought a new rs6000, which has the Power6 in it(still has to be delivered), but the memory is 'only' ddr2, can someone enlighten me why this machine would run faster than my dual Xeon 5560 with triple channel ddr3?

    The Xeon box only costed 1/2 of what the rs6000 costed

    thanks in advance

  16. Psychology is an exact science? on Researcher Finds No Link Between Violent Games and School Shootings · · Score: 1

    Now I'm not gonna say there is or is not a link, I don't know.

    But since when have researchers mapped the behaviour of the brain and the way it reacts to certain gaming or television related stuff?

    They are just guessing according to the things they have experienced and learned.

    Maybe they are asking themselves the wrong questions and making the wrong assumptions.

    Just remember that psychology is not really founded upon exact measurements.

    Ohhhh wait, it is just a _single_ judgement, made by 1 person, 1 point of view

    What the hell is wrong with this crap government? There is no democracy, this is dictatorship, they dictate what you can and cannot read,write,comprehend unless it has been bended into a shape they want you to know.

    Why isn't there anyone standing up like the piracy people in Denmark huh?

    If this was a democracy, than the people that have been chosen, can be put back in there closet for acting and behaving like these twats in Brussels...

    I hope they read my shitty toilet paper that is flushing down this very moment. I hope they like it... and when you are down there, stay in those sewers you morons.

    Where is freedom? Who was that person that wrote this:"I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about.

    Introducing a piece of software with a version number like 5.1 is a commercial advantage.
