  7. Fuel Cell = RIP off on NEC Unveils Methanol-Fueled Laptop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some might think that fuel cell is the greatest thing since Lithium Ion batteries but its really another way of getting money out of the poor consumer. The current range of IBM R40 centrino notebooks can provide you with 4 hours of battery life.

    Laptop makers are looking for the high profit margins that ink jet printer manufacturers enjoy. How much will these full cell cartrages cost? Around $5 a pop? Thats absurd, wouldn't you rather recharge the fucking thing!

  8. Re:Go web based. on Open Source Microsoft Exchange Replacements? · · Score: 1

    not that any of them know what a PDA is, but like I said its a hidden linux server that I only give few people accounts on. Most people still use Outlook or pegasus mail, depending on how long they have been there.

    Most of our staff are generally computer illerate and the only time they have seen "email" is through the web so they are content using it.

  10. Go web based. on Open Source Microsoft Exchange Replacements? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Many people have become familiar with using services such as hotmail or yahoo as their main form of email.

    You could take this oppertunity to use something like http://www.phpgroupware.org/ which will replicate all the mail/collabaration/task/meeting scheduling functions of Outlook.

    Also its free and open sores software, take a look at some of these screenshots or try out the live demo and see for your self how great it is.
    I'd like to mention that I have no affiliation except having a linux server hidden somewhere at work running this and allowing many people who get stupid outlook viruses an account on it too see if they like it, so far I'm getting a great response.

    This one is a great addition to the book shelf, you all know how to do certain things regular expression but this book clarifies nicely why you are actually doing it. Also, it introduces nice advanced concepts which occasional regex users might not have come across before.

  19. Re:Apple is claiming Fastest SPEC on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 0, Troll

    Apple is lying, very egregiously. If you go to veritest.com and download the report, it gives these numbers:

    specint_base2000
    G5: 800
    P4: 889
    Xeon: 836

    specfp_base2000
    G5: 840
    P4: 693
    Xeon: 646

    So, the G5 is the slowest in integer but fastest by quite a bit in FP. But wait: these tests were done using gcc, which nobody in the Intel world would actually use to compile code that needs to run fast. At specbench.org, I see for the P4, using Intel's compiler (hey, gcc is now Apple's compiler, right?)

    specint_base2000: 1164
    specfp_base2000: 1200

    Admittedly, this just proves that gcc sucks, but that's all you get from Apple. Nothing has changed, Intel is still winning and Apple is still lying about it. ...wearing a skin-tight topless leather jumpsuit, with cutaway buttocks and transparent crot<ch panel.
