If you are looking for a new BitTorrent client, then avoid Vuze. It used to be a superb client but recently they switched to the malware model. Last update it infected all my broswers with redirecting ad ware. My search engines were all set to Yahoo and it installed multiple extensions. It was painful to remove it all.
I'm not making this up since the company fully admits they do this on their own forum web pages. Well they don't use the word malware, but if it quacks like a duck.
I wonder if this thing is more efficient than radiating the same amount of microwaves or laser light out the back of a rocket. That is does it derive thrust resonantly with no loss of photons (other than imperfections) or is it a trade of one photon for one photons worth of impulse (same as a laser thruster).
And I also wonder how they cooled this thing. if it was in a vaccuum and power goes in then it heats up. It would heat up indefinitely if it did not radiate somehow. Perhaps the radiation isn't isotropic?
e.g. a selective absorber heated up should do the same thing right?
I think what they are saying is they are going to screw with your latency and data rate such that an HD movie will stutter and an SD will play.
Basically, they are going to give you unlimited bandwidth in the same sense that a station wagon full of dvds is unlimited bandwidth. Yes there's a very very long latency but when the wagon arrives the delta function is so large that if occupies the entire spectrum. Voila unlimited data with unlimited bandwidth, very high latentcy
Basically when China and Russia gave up on socialism, they created a version of capitalism in the image of what they imagined capitalism to be; not the kind of liberal society you find in advanced Western democracies with their regulated market economies and worker's rights guarantees.
Intriguingly it's almost the very definition of Fascism. Mussolini preferred the term corporatism. But either way it's a paternalistic monopoly on power run in collaboration with corporations for the benefit of the common good. The problem of course is that monopoly on power thing sometimes gets in the way of common good and pateralism. But in the short run it's always produced world beating results. Until he invaded Ethiopia, il Duce's italian miracle in the midst of the depression was the envy of the world. Even FDR sent him mash notes.
SO it's more than ironic that China diverts socialism with Communism then bypasses capitalism for fascism.
I'm having some trouble understanding why using a commercial product, BluTec copper, in a manner in which it is intend to be used (heating water via unconcentrated sun) is news? When you build a colar water heater normally you are working to not have it boil the water. It's more efficient not to. In fact the article even says they get better efficiencies when they-- get this-- run it below 100c. Wow! alert the media and publish it in nature.
So what they did was create a thermally insullated restricted flow system so the water super heats which is completely expected and precisely what designers expect and thus try to avoid in commerical systems.
Blutec solar heated are made in massive quatitites.
So can some one explain why this is news? I'm being serious not sarcastic.

At the moment the i386 standa alone appears to be slashdotted as the mirror link is not responding. I'll try it when it's back.
in the mean time i'm still confused about the UEFI versus EFI thing. this supergrub 2 ls labled EFI. the mac is UEFI. I'm imagining the firmware must be hunting for UEFI boot loaders not EFI. SO how is this going to work? I must not understand it or this is only going to work for EFI macs (post 2007)
I did try renaming the x86_64 standalone to the name suggested but nothing showed up as a boot device in the mac option-boot process. (It's the only version that the mirror was letting me download).
Okay I just tried your suggestion about the 64 bit standalone. I created an MSDOS FAT disk on the mac, and put the 64 bit standalone in the/EFI/BOOT directory of this.. Rebooting the mac with the option key pressed it does not show any new boot devices.
I did not rename the standalone to BOOTIA32.EFI but rather used it's natural long name as it was downloaded.
I also see four other versions of the standalone listed on the site. one is called coreboot and one is called ia-386. None explicitly say 32 bit but I'm going to try the ia-386 as my best guess.
The whole article summary is cookoo flamebait. First Apple does have skylake processors in it's line up. https://apple.slashdot.org/sto... They just don't use the intel model name "skylake" on their product descriptions.
The alleged website saying "dont buy" is not complaining about this. For example the macpro they list as "don't buy" is actually "can't buy". Apple doesn't list that model in it's store. And their reasoning for not buying it is because it's not a retina version, and there's not any price difference with the retina.
Finally like every single computer maker, mac does have a range of models and guess what the lower end ones have slower procesors. But they also get an hour longer battery life than the i7 models.
Guess what? the track pads don't have two buttons! Alert commissioner gordon!
the core2duo is a 64 bit processor. that's what's in the 2006 mac. The problem I think has something to do with the 32 bit boot loader. See my post above.
Clover appears to be using ReFind. SO what's the difference? My main goal is to boot a USB stick. If I can't have that I'd like a dual boot hard disk. and if I can't have that i'd settle for a Linux hard drive.
Does that erase the OSX as well. I'd prefer to keep the Old OSX if I could. I'm also somewhat worried about bricking the computer in the process.
CDs are problematic for me in one sense. I can attach an external CD drive (but the mac won't boot off the linux CD). But the internal CD isn't working and I don't plan to replace it.
SO could you explain your process more and what state it leaves the mac in? dual boot? linux only? no chance of ever running OSX again if one wanted to go back? Perhaps one could run OSX in a virtual machine on top of the linux.
Actually I'm struggling with this right now. I have a 2006 core2duo macbook, which is a nice machine still but there's no OS updates. I've been trying for days now to figure out how one converts this to a Linux machine. Ideally I want to USB boot linux but I'm starting to give up on that plan. The trouble is these machines, unlike newer ones, have 32 bit UEFI boot. apps that create USB Live sticks, like Mac USB loader, won't work with UEFI. I ran into a git project called enterprise that supposedly can create a USB loader for UEFI but you have to compile it on 32 bit linux and I'm not sure the result can load a 64 bit linux so I'm averse to trying to get it working. When I try to boot it off an external Live CD, it doesn't work. and Mac's Bootcamp does not appear to be compatible with this, though I have not actually tried it yet. (perhaps someone knows if bootcamp would let me create a 64 bit linux disk partitiion?)

Will this run 64 bit linux even though the 2006 model wants a 32 bit loader?

Does that erase the OSX as well. I'd prefer to keep the Old OSX if I could. I'm also somewhat worried about bricking the computer in the process.
