  1. Re:Absolutely Stupid! on Yet Another Degrading DVD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Go on the site, and you will see that those DVD-D are recyclable. I do not agree with this but it is still better than free CDs given away by ISPs... There should be a kind of partial refund if you take the DVD-D back. Moreover, the fact that the DVD can be read during 8 hours after oppening suggest that there is a kind of oxydation that occures on the disc, and this can be avoided using your dvd player in the appropriate environment... That sounds a bit tricky, but can be easily done.

  2. Simply: windows does not work... on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 1

    If I had a washing machine that would sometimes work, sometimes, detroy my clothes, or keeps going to the repair center every 6 monthes (period of reinstallation of windows...). I would say that it does not work, that is exactly the same with microsoft products. A PC destiny is not to reboot each time you want to install something, or perform a task that I would not allow, without asking me anything... Moreover, the company has always stolen a lot of ideas (Xerox labs,...) and now want to pattent those?? I like GNU's spirit, and freedom, internet and computers do not know any limitation: none can counter that.

    Is it thermally right to cool the 2 processors in a serial manner? I mean, this way, the second processor on the cooling chain get hotter fluid than the first one, and what happens to it after 3 year 24h/day ? Using fluid is nice, but, why this way? I hope this is just an illustration, and that the whole system comes with something else
