  1. N.B. SuSE is now SUSE on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft · · Score: 1

    the logo still looks like "SuSE", but that's cos the chameleon's sitting on it.

    all the text is SUSE, so get with the program!

  2. Re:Redundant headline on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 3, Funny

    "" could also stand for "SCO lies" or "RIAA acts like a dick", so I think "IE" would be best.

    no I think he means that the subdomain can EITHER be an actual group of people (e.g. a club) OR a "symbolic" group of people such as a profession.

  4. Re:Oh, the irony... on Bad Spelling Pays on eBay · · Score: 1

    ATI is spelled ATI. check it out at www.ati.com

    just because the logo looks like ATi doesn't mean it's spelled like that, otherwise Disney would be spelled Disnep

  5. Re:I shouldn't even post this on Microsoft-Funded Linux Studies Benefit ... Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I haven't bothered reading the report, but reading your summary reminded me of Vietnam. when fixing the election results the U.S. advisors suggested a more realistic value but they went for something like 99% instead.

    contrary to Hitler's "the bigger the lie, the easier they swallow it", putting out BS of this magnitude is retarded.

    It's amazing how much less of a retard you can sound when you don't start your argument by bitching about something I didn't even say.

    what's a demonitator? ...yeah, crafted REALLY carefully.

    Please explain how SCO is only IBM's problem when Darl has made it clear he believes Linux to be, among other things, a tool for terrorist states to develop WMDs and a threat to the entire US computer industry. And he has the backing of the world's richest man. And the US government isn't known for making a habit of putting people before profits when lobbied by rich companies. Or understanding technology enough to produce quality legislature (e.g. software patents, DMCA).

    I said SCO deserved to be DDOS'd. that's what the story's about [hint: read the title]. where did I say anything about back doors?

    I stopped reading after "back doors". I suspect having set up a nice straw man you just tear into it for all the "Insightful" mods you can get.

    >And IIRC, building solar-panels eats more energy than those panels will produce in their projected lifetime.

    hahahahahahahahahahaha what BS, who told you this? a representative from the coal industry or something?

    the effectiveness of solar panels obviously varies, but there are many places that use them productively.

    think about it - why would calculators use solar cells? according to your logic it would be far cheaper for the manufacturer to just give the customer a sack full of batteries.

  14. Re:No... what he was trying to say is... on Mine The Moon For Helium-3 · · Score: 1

    with coal, you are putting in energy (into the process) when you mine it and transport it etc. but when the coal burns the heat comes from the potential energy that was already there.

    in the case of solar power, once you've built the solar panel you don't have to put in any energy because it's provided by the Sun. the Sun didn't cost us anything to make, it's already there just like the potential energy is already in the coal.

  18. Re:In other words? on SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code · · Score: 1

    you missed the part where he says Linux enables axis-of-evil countries to develop weapons of mass destruction by allowing them to run "virtual supercomputers"

  19. Re:No... what he was trying to say is... on Mine The Moon For Helium-3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    of course energy is conserved, but this doesn't mean you can't get more energy out than you put in. exothermic reactions produce more heat than is required to make them go, the extra heat coming from chemical potential energy. in nuclear plants energy is released when nuclei rearrange themselves. in these cases the energy released was already there but was inaccessible before the reaction.

    another example is solar power - in this case electricity is produced but no energy is put in, in the sense that the energy comes from the Sun so there's no cost associated with it. other renewable energy sources work on the same principle.

  20. Re:Best Keyboard... on A Glance At 24 Keyboards & Mice · · Score: 1

    I'm not so enthusiastic about USB keyboards. the only one I tried was a while ago, and it was probably a crap keyboard and a crap motherboard, but it didn't work properly and now I'm scarred for life.

    I assume they thought the same processes that created the "canals" would have also got rid of the olivine. although Mars is very different to Earth right now, these processes took place a long time ago when it wouldn't have been different.
