  1. Then what??? on Landscape Is Changing For Microsoft and Google · · Score: 0

    Apps neither run on desktop nor web - where then are they doing to run? On the USB drive?

    > Instead, what will matter is that your data being everywhere and in sync.

    I thought we have been trying to do that for years. Both Google and M$ have been trying. Clearly, yet another article that says close to nothing.

    Next!

  2. Re:Overheating with new models? on Apple Unveils MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo · · Score: 0, Troll

    Maybe the rest of the world is missing this,
    but my Thinkpad never runs beyond 50 degrees celcius while on maximum load.

    An MacBook simply generates ridiculous amounts of heat with a ultra-low battery life. I don't know why you guys pay so much for such a badly designed laptop.

    Of course, OSX is a fantastic operating system. But is the tradeoff really worth it, especially if it's a computer that is supposed to be a portable that you can place on your *lap*? *smirks*

  3. Re:Seriously, that is sad... on smcFanControl — Cool Your MacBook Pro · · Score: 1

    No, really. I'm living in the tropics (Singapore) and the only time my Thinkpad fans are on is when they throttle to 1.5GHz (max) for more than 10 seconds, exactly like what the parent wrote.

    The ridiculous heat MBPs make are keeping me further away from them than is Windows discouraging me from buying Windows laptops. At least, when you're using a laptop designed from Windows, you had a choice to install the OS of your choice (except OSX).

    When you have a MBP, what are you going to do? All the fixes in the world won't negate the fact that you're buying a poorly-designed machine.

    How APT a reply! I thought all our minds have gone all woody reading /.

    long is Pat going to live before all hell breaks loose and Slackware becomes another Debian? Slackware is ancient enough already...

  7. Re:Old growth lumber on Chainsaw-wielding Robotic Submarine · · Score: 1

    There are almost no fishes at such depth. Dissolved oxygen is in such low concentrations that unless it's especially evolved, else it simply couldn't survive. It's also almost pitch black. Few life forms could exist, that's why those wood are of such high quality.
