  1. Re:Of course they won't.. on Motorola Seeks Ban On Macs, iPads, and iPhones · · Score: 5, Informative

    Friendly advice, if you want to be able to retain your geek card, you'd better be able to recognize any major quote from Wargames.

    Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

  3. Re:Avoid Unity on Ask Slashdot: the Best Linux Setup To Transition Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for adding to the info. Would you mind sharing at lease the info about your hardware and maybe the kernel version and a list of modules that were loaded? If ssasa would post his info as well, perhaps we could look for similarities and get that info to the mint devs. I run Ubuntu myself, but I like trying to assist other projects when the opportunity arises.

    For the system freezes, you could check the kernel log. It might give you an idea of what is causing the lockup.
    You can try Ironhide or Bumblebee for solving your Nvidia optimus problem.
    The battery issue is mostly due to the Nvidia GPU being on all the time. If you get Ironhide / Bumblebee working it should mostly resolve your battery issue.

    Yoda was right. "Always two, there are. No more, no less. A master, and an apprentice." Darth Bane would approve.

  8. Re:schmuck on Expect Hundreds of Thunderbolt Devices, Says Intel · · Score: 1

    My apologies. The last time I read anything about Thunderbold (Lightpeak), was back in February of 2011. A few of the articles I read said apple exclusive and my faulty memory recalled 2 years instead of one. The articles I previously read misconstrued the phrase "a year headstart" and claimed that Apple had 1 year exclusive rights. Intel has since refuted that. Thanks for making me go back an re-read it.

  9. Re:schmuck on Expect Hundreds of Thunderbolt Devices, Says Intel · · Score: 1

    The only reason Intel didn't promote it before, was due to the fact that Apple had a 2 year exclusivity clause on Thunderbolt. Now that it is up, Intel is free to put it into generic PCs.

    If you're going to bitch about it, at least get it right. This would be the third cat of the same name, as a Puma, Panther, and Mountain Lion are all the same thing.

  11. Re:Althourhg it was a private contractor on Mechanic's Mistake Trashes $244 Million Aircraft · · Score: 1

    I would imaging that when the tank popped, there was an instant loss of fuel pressure causing compressor surge. Perhaps pressure loss caused a flameout instead and then fuel started pooling in the combustion section. Then, when enough pressure built up, the unburnt fuel combusted, causing turbine damage.

    It looks like a proton pack. I hope whoever he gets to work on it is licensed to work with particle accelerators.

    They may not have been surprised by the counterstrike, but I'm sure they were surprised with the scale.

    To be fair, that EV7 you had was fabricated in either 180 or 130 nanometer process. Made on 32nm process, it would be a whole different story.
