I checked battery quality on mine, 14 months old and 27% capacity.
I haven't done the calibrating stuff but it seems like it knows it has lowered anyway so. I guess the occasional running out of juice has been enough, or something.
But then I have never got 4 hours, more like 1 because I always have the browser going and Safari and Flash sucks donkey balls.
But it's probably more like less then 30 minutes of surfing now...
I don't do anything wrong, lithium-ion suck, Safari suck, Flash suck, hot MBP suck.
Like you have the right to decide that it's appropriate to fuck them up, or that anyone have the rights to do it. Just disable it / change key / whatever. I doubt sending a message would help to, as if the user would care?
I doubt my Macbook Pro do 30 minutes after a year.
NiMH and NiCd don't lose storage capacity nearly that fast, the charge drop over time but if you recharge them they become very good again. While NiMH have got better storage nowadays NiCd still keep the voltage longer which may be beneficial for some devices.
You don't design a battery to have shitty life length, the technology used just happen to make that a fact.
Li-Ion batteries lose around 20% of the capacity per year if you're lucky (storing at around 40% charge in nice conditions) but most seem to be able to handle around 500 charges which is kind of nothing when it comes to a laptop, so yes, the battery will work like shit real soon.
That's why I will never care about battery time unless it gets really good, it's shit in any case and you still need a power cable, end of story =P
The e-mail and PDF was the most funny part, you can almost here Steve say:... and boo.... boomdidi... boo... boom! No, wait, booo, booo, booom! And boom! There you go!
Useless unless you're a Swede, but it's a guy who ask his son everything about their car and the son answers, later the guy mentions how his son don't care and don't have any interests. The son start to sing about how he don't give a shit about cars and want a synthesizer instead. But in the end the dad still say "You see, no interests at all..."
Also in Swedish, but a song, about the singers childhood, how kids works and how one should let kids grow up, do and become whatever they want and don't be forced to follow their parents dreams and ideas.
Love your kid for the person it is, encourage it to take its own path and become a free and thinking individual instead of a suppressed being just doing whatever it's told.
Your post probably concluded it all so we could turn off Slashdot now:D, or atleast this thread =P
Also: " I want to foster this in him" It's YOUR fucking interest, not his. Force feed it into him now and maybe he will never want to pick it up later.
"I also don't really like the idea of getting one of those cheap 'Learning Laptops' that have a tiny screen and are really limited." Yeah, and his two year old will surely notice... Pro as he is..
I had an SVI-728 and later a NES, I still own his kid!:D
Wtf should he have a real complete computer for? Get him something for learning or playing with colors/drawing or shapes or to make sound or whatever.
Either like finger painting on a touchscreen (but why not use finger paint?), or a non-computer such as those drawing tables we had with two knobs, etch-a-scetch? Or something like a Korg Kaoss Pad or similar if you really wanna go high-tech:D Keyboard?
Ok, so if everyone else did 2 males 1 girl threesomes I could had patented the method off threesome involving 2 girls and 1 male? Damn, too bad I missed my chance.
So what if it's unique if it's an obvious idea?
Though I'd prefer it if we removed all patents, let knowledge, results and research be free and collective.
We live in a world filled of porn now, there threesomes have become much more acceptable. Just think about how it would had been if you had to pay a license fee each and every time you joined up in a threesome. Yeah, that's right, for a grand total amount of $0. Totally unacceptable.
I don't know what you was hinting at but they say stop in Sweden to even though the word in swedish is stopp. It makes more sense with the same spelling in all countries for some reason...
I don't know, but just as solid carbon can be seen in various crystals/shapes as graphite and diamonds which will indeed have very different properties although they is the same atoms I guess the water differ somehow to.
Probably like gas = move around fast enough to be able to break lose from each other and travel around as single molecules. Water = For whatever reason the molecules really want to stick together. For instance if you put a pencil under the tap and turn on the water and tilt the pencil the water will travel together on the surface of the pen and eventually fall of as drops if there is enough force to pull them off from the rest of the water. But at least they don't seem to fall of as single molecules. Ice = And finally ice starts to form as single crystals which grows on, doesn't it?
Someone else with more knowledge would had to explain it, but anyway I guess they is arranged in various patterns holding the molecules in place with different stiffness.
At least earlier I think you could switch in rc.conf or similar if you wanted to use gcc 3.x or 2.95.x for instance, both may have been available, I don't remember. I don't think that is much of tuning, not much more than trying to benchmark KDE by different versions, or even various versions of Windows on different laptops.
If it's about the compiler version (or options) I know I can switch compiler and get a better result, if it's some other tweaking or totally different kernel or system libs or such it may be much harder to do anything about it.
Anyway, I respect that your opinion is different =P, I won't give it much credit as an OS benchmark though (but in the end benchmarks don't matter much either, running the actual application you want to run on the system do.)
Because they will work totally different on the fabric? Just as your shoes won't react to water vapor in the same way as they do with ice...
The vapor has small "parts", the fluid water is held together in bigger parts. Just because a fluid don't pass the fabric the vapor don't need to have the same problem. See Goretex or any other functional fabric.
Just because the fabric don't get wet by the fluid water don't mean vapor can't pass it, it may be so but it don't have to.

Nah, I'll let it run in that case :D

But I don't get it, really, if you can put your battery in the freezer is it really such a big deal if it dies? =P
But maybe some people just need it for short rare stretches of time.
I didn't knew if having it connected mattered or not so I've always had mine in, didn't thought it would be crappy so fast (first laptop.)
I doubt my Macbook Pro do 30 minutes after a year.

Where do I sign up? I want to sign up and change from my current "virgin for life"-subscription.

Just saying.

Keyboard?
Build him a small car with electronic motor?
Check of KMX trikes?
Still, wtf shall he do with a regular computer?
I wonder if someone some day will refused to use RL because it's "not invented here."
Ok, so if everyone else did 2 males 1 girl threesomes I could had patented the method off threesome involving 2 girls and 1 male? Damn, too bad I missed my chance.

Though I'd prefer it if we removed all patents, let knowledge, results and research be free and collective.
But the question is: Should it be patentable?
We live in a world filled of porn now, there threesomes have become much more acceptable. Just think about how it would had been if you had to pay a license fee each and every time you joined up in a threesome. Yeah, that's right, for a grand total amount of $0. Totally unacceptable.

That's why Sun cc would had been fun in case it had owned gcc =P
