  1. Re:In portuguese it's "chá", and came through on Why the World Only Has Two Words For Tea (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    Actually there is a lot of Arabic influence in Portuguese due to proximity to North Africa and the Moors who colonised large parts of the Iberian Peninsula. This happened long before the Portuguese established their own trading colonies in Macau and the Far East so it is actually completely in agreement with the article that they should use the ch- variant.

  2. renewable power = nuclear in Finland on Finland Set To Become First Country To Ban Coal Use For Energy (newscientist.com) · · Score: 2

    Not so fast! Finland's dependence on renewable energy is diluted by their heavy investment in nuclear power, currently 28% and projected to rise to 60% by 2025.

  3. How is this "rethinking"? on Rethinking the Thinkpad · · Score: 1
    Where does "rethinking" in the title come from. From the following quotes fromt TFA it seems clear to me, that the X60 is "business as usual" as far as thinkpads are concerned: an upmarket, slimline, high performance notepad in an understated black frame with a red trackpoint.
    the original point- one constant which has remained throughout the evolution of the notebook computer is the Thinkpad.

    Looking at the Thinkpad X60s we can see that this laptop is clearly tailored to executives and business users.

    Rather than having a trackpad the X60s uses a one of IBM's signature red pointing sticks.

    Despite the long and respected history of the Thinkpad, there is a lot of competition in the ultraportable market...the X60s remains to be a very desirable computer and a great pick.
