  1. Re:Bob Park on Cold Fusion Back From The Dead · · Score: 1

    Oh well... I don't have a definitive answer, but yet, I have become very open to those kinds of research.

    Maybe not a conversion from 100% to 200% but might be drawing energy from the outside in order to render it somehow usable?

    I'd request the previous poster to have a look at the various test here http://jnaudin.free.fr/

    Is this all bullshit ? I'd say it doesn't fit "pure academic research" but seems interesting nonetheless...

  2. How to make sense of Sun's attitude ? on Linux Apps On Solaris · · Score: 1
    These statements have been made over the last two months at large :

    Hardware is a commodity, it will be free :
    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/06/01/162 7236&tid=102&tid=137/

    Solaris will be OSS
    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/06/02/133 256&tid=102&tid=190&tid=130/
    http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/04/ 1248251&tid=102&tid=163&tid=130/

    Java will or will not be OSS
    Will : http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/0 6/04/002224&tid=108&tid=156&tid=102&tid=8/
    Won't: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/0 6/05/183209&tid=108&tid=156&tid=102&tid=8/

    Leaves us with... A basically free OS, running on a free hardware able to run free software out of the box.
    The only business model they seem to aim for is maintenance and services...

    But... An OS as polished as Sun becoming free (and already available on x86) might become a new contender to Windows desktop/workstation. For this move they lack applications, but making it able to run Linux apps out of the box seems a smart move to close the gap...

    Any feeling on those matters ?

  3. Oh... wait, value depends on price right ? on AMD Releases Sempron Earlier Than Expected · · Score: 1
    And according to this :
    http://www.slcentral.com/boards/showthread-4615.ht ml?s=/

    The AMD price are being reworked at the same time as the launch...

    So... better re-consider the whole thing

  5. Re:Simpad, 8+" screen, second hand range $100-400 on Best PDA To Read e-Texts On? · · Score: 1

    Gotta find that on eBay. It's mostly known in Germany, if you find a nice supply, let us all know ! ;-)

  6. Re:Go hunting on eBay on Best PDA To Read e-Texts On? · · Score: 1

    Siemens a few months ago did make an attempt that went quite unnoticed... Try to find a SimPad. It's all you ever need, light, 8" screen (800x600 from what I recall), color. Not lightning fast as far as the CPU is concerned but well... not bad at all for reading.
