For the consumer or in some huge volume? 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 litre
Over here in Sweden the taxes put the gasoline price at something like 12.49-12.99/litre in this town right now according to a webpage. Say 12.70 sek / litre * 3.785 = 48.07 sek. 8.36$ / gallon in the gasoline station.
So yes, people would gladly pay 2$/gallon here. In face people already pay almost 1.5 $ / litre for etanol/E85. (And we do have tax reduction / no taxes(?) on that.)
I was expecting to find more details, I don't wanna look around more than that. Seems like it uses it's own custom OS but based on various existing Windows technology.
Ok, I didn't knew if they even used console hosted OSes or not. But I think that adding "stupid" before it covered the occasion where that may be. (But now when I type it I recall that the Xbox used some Windows CE-based/evolved OS didn't it?)
I have never seen a Wii in reallife so I have no idea how it is. I don't know if "how to boot" should count as something OS deficient or not (even if it may indeed run on top of an OS in this case.)
Thanks for the info anyway. If you now more about the OSes in consoles feel free to tell me more. But maybe this thread isn't the place for that:)
Personally I wouldn't compare computer and console gaming, I like my RTS and Quake and neither works good on console I assume. Anyway, at a console you do indeed get gaming without a stupid OS;D. So if there are any approriate time to mention console gaming this must be it.
Regarding lack of knowledge have no fear, today there are so many more users, documentation, forums, and what not, and support for various things have improved and the desktops are better and so on. For just using Ubuntu I doubt you need any knowledge at all, basic understanding on how the package manager works and you are done.
Yeah, I know it's produced in the guts but to far down so to speak, and that unwashed vegetables are supposed to be better.
Do they really have to be used together? There doesn't exist b12 producing bacteria in regular non-fecal earth? Or do one get more of it if one does as you say?
There are examples of people where this solution works and they never get a deficiency and they never eat occasional animal products?
You can't compare it with an old drive. I just expect them to be able to make similair density in current gen drives no matter what platter size. (may the arm control or something limit it somewhat more on a 3.5" drive)
Yeah, I assume access time / round are the same but as you say "swinging distance" are shorter on a 2.5" drive. Only reason I can see why access times would get lower. But beyond that I would assume a 3.5" drive at 10krpm to be able to have similair data density and therefor own this a lot in MB/s and still have similair access time and IO/s.
Because we way we threat them aren't that nice and even if we hunt them in the wild there is always that chance that they aren't killed very fast, and even if everything else was ok is it really ok to end their lifes? (Thought one do end the life of vegetables aswell.)
As if WD drives would be more unreliable than anything else? It also has 5 years warranty (which doesn't mean that it will survive longer, but anyway.)
I still can't understand how this can be faster than a 3.5" 10krpm drive at the same density?
At first I thought that maybe they had put two 2.5" drives in there.. Maybe even in a 5 1/4" case. Imagine say 4 drives in that case using raid configuration or whatever.
Without birth control I don't see anything wrong with the "please don't have sex because we are overpopulated" argument. Some people whould be bastards and do it against common good, sure, as do people with meat.
It's probably natural order to try to be on top of other humans aswell.
One doesn't need animal protein, and if one did he would still have a point. So I have no idea why you bring that up.
Regarding your vegan friend there are no vegetarian source of vitamine b12 which have been shown to threat a deficiency, so to just ignore that fact and don't eat it as supplement may be a very bad idea for him. The body got enough for a couple of years so it takes time before it will hit him, but once it does it may damage him permanently.
Only if we want them to. There are nothing preventing us from leting animals live for their own sake instead of ours. Thought omnivores seems to have a hard time understanding that.
Personally I would be more than happy if we didn't killed as many predators and let them manage the vegetarian animals count so we could see more predators in nature (and less vegetarian animals on the roads..)
If you consume milk and egg nothing will happen to you. Thought it may be a good idea to make sure you get enough omega3 fat acids (and it would be even if you ate meat.)
If you are vegan and don't supplement vitamine b12 you may permanently damage your nervous system, so that's not recommended.
To begin with if one also supplements the diet isn't that a meat replacement?
The human body can convert ALA to DHA and EPA, how effecient it is at that varies, I've seen numbers ranging from 0.2 to 15.2%. It seems to be better at converting it to EPA because at some place I saw values of 5% mentioned for EPA and 0.5% for DHA.
The human body can also convert between EPA to DHA and DHA to EPA, but the former are much easier to do. Whereby EPA are seen as more important nowadays.
Together that makes me belive that maybe the body just needed those 0.5% of DHA so that may be the reason because only that amount was made/converted.
The amounts of EPA and DHA which are needed are quite low, the numbers I've seen spoke about 650 mg and atleast 200 mg of each. But then it's also suggested to keep the omega6 to omega3 ratio at something like 2-5:1, and most people consume way more omega6 than omega3.
So anyway, what you say about DHA are simply completely wrong. It's true that most vegetarian fats don't contain any DHA or EPA, but since your body can convert ALA to them it's not a huge issue if you consume enough ALA.
Also (some?) microalgea produce both fat acids, and it's that way the fishes themself gets them.
http://www.water4.net/ sells vegan omega3 capsules made from algea, which are also free of the toxins and heavy metals found in fat fish since they don't grow it in the sea and it haven't been concentrated by the food chain.
You can visit http://www.nutritiondata.com/ and look up the fat acid content among other things in various food types, for instant candula, flax, chlorella and spirulina.
B12-vitamine are the real issue, and are produced by bacteria. It's easily available and cheap so not a big deal.
Also over here in Scandinavia and at similair distance from the equator it may be a good deal to supplement d-vitamine because sunlight of the right wavelengths don't hit us that much during the winters. That's not vegan specific thought and here in Sweden d-vitamine are supplemented by law in milk, butter and margarine AFAIK, all of them contains supplements of it. But since you don't eat those as a vegan you better make sure to supplement that on your own aswell.
But then there is nothing natural with how we "hunt" nowadays.
To compare it with humans would be sort of like saying what Hitler did wasn't wrong because it's just natural that people die anyway. Which indeed are true but how you live your life until then and for how long matters aswell.
And then there are that simple fact that we don't need to eat them, so why do it?
The last sentence are just retarded, but common, and you won't surprise anyone with it and it's not funny.

Intresting, so you mean that all 10krpm platters in 3.5" drives are smaller than 7.2krpm ones?
You can't compare it with an old drive. I just expect them to be able to make similair density in current gen drives no matter what platter size. (may the arm control or something limit it somewhat more on a 3.5" drive)

Less power than a normal 3.5" drive, probably much for a 2.5" drive.
As if WD drives would be more unreliable than anything else? It also has 5 years warranty (which doesn't mean that it will survive longer, but anyway.)
I still can't understand how this can be faster than a 3.5" 10krpm drive at the same density?

Which is a weak point if we can survive just aswell without killing animals. Most of us don't have to kill them for food.
What most mammals do and not do is a weak point in an argument regarding what we should do or not thought.
Without birth control I don't see anything wrong with the "please don't have sex because we are overpopulated" argument. Some people whould be bastards and do it against common good, sure, as do people with meat.
It's probably natural order to try to be on top of other humans aswell.
And ecstacy, heroine and amphetamine wouldn't make you feel so good ..
One doesn't need animal protein, and if one did he would still have a point. So I have no idea why you bring that up.

He don't call himself vegetarian + eat fish, they are both in different sentences:
"Nobody in my family"
"so ppl who"
He never say that he is better of because he eat fish aswell.
But yes, some people call themself vegetarians even thought they aren't because they eat fish and pultry. They suck.
See my http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=529336&cid=23144778
But in short: No, you don't need to eat supplements compensating for the lack of fish in your diet.
Only if we want them to. There are nothing preventing us from leting animals live for their own sake instead of ours. Thought omnivores seems to have a hard time understanding that.
Personally I would be more than happy if we didn't killed as many predators and let them manage the vegetarian animals count so we could see more predators in nature (and less vegetarian animals on the roads..)

Except on fuse either when Sun goes GPL 2, or when both Sun and Linux goes GPL 3, or if Linux stop being GPL at all but uhm, yeah right
It's about ZFS, not only Solaris. And ZFS are ported to FreeBSD and OS X.
