  1. Re:Have a taste... on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    They may have said it but can they enforce it?
    PPC OSX is only supposed to run on Macs but some people run it on other hardware.

    If they're on Intel they probably will find themselves competing with other x86 manufactureres
    when selling hardware.

  2. Re:Wonder... on Pliable Solar Cells on a Roll · · Score: 2, Funny

    1 Sheet A4 10 Euros probably meaning at least 9 euros or 9-10W
    A4=0.0625 m^2 IIRC
    So 1m^2=144-160W

    Add suitable number of pinches of salt.

    Alternatively find out how efficient regular solar panels are and reduce the power output by 50-65%.

  3. Re:Does MS care? on Firefox Reaches 10 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    Not really. They could be the dominant browser with a 99% share and everyone could still code to W3C standards rather than IE-HTML and friends. But that's not what happened. Instead MS embraced and extended the web standards. With the only documentation being how IE works in many cases.

  4. Re:Well, it can be done. But can it be done well? on Can People Really Program 80+ Hours a Week? · · Score: 1

    I think the original poster may have been referring to productivity per hour worked where France and the USA are roughly on a par IIRC.

    On the minus side the French have higher unemployment.

    On the plus side they have more time to enjoy the things they've produced.

  5. Re:imagine on World's Largest Working Computing Grid · · Score: 1

    You have some evidence for that most people using Scientific Linux claim? The latest releases from
    CERN are still Redhat 7.3 not Scientific Linux(RHEL) based.

    I would be very supprised if anyone were running
    a non x86 linux setup since AFAICT most of the submitted jobs are native code not some portable
    bytecode.
