    Why do you have so many alias names anyway? So you can mod people you don't like down, or mod yourself up?

    Again with the NOTHING. That's getting really old.

    If that's true then you are really quite juvenile emotionally. Do you have a job? A real one? If so I'm surprised that someone with such a juvenile mind could hold one down. Probably a Republican too.

    Stop with the childish attitude. Really. You'll go a lot further in life.

    Yes, Assange-Wikileaks releases confidential information getting good people killed in the process. Gawker creates a parody site that gives back a little medicine that Wikileaks are dishing out and does no real harm.

    Basically if you expect everyone else to be open, you have to be open yourself. If Assange doesn't like that then he is a hypocrite.

    Sony totally boned the PS3 lifetime, though. The degree of cluelessness with the little things and the amount of damage that they have done to such a technically impressive platform is just mind-boggling.

    I don't think anything Sony did will affect sales in the slightest. This is a non-issue as the vast majority of the users simply dont care that an obscure and little used piece of functionality was removed. It was simply not cost effective for Sony to keep supporting it.

    This lawsuit was ridiculous in that the guy was bound to lose since Sony did nothing wrong legally.

    you partisanly or conveniently forgot to quote the next sentence in the story where it was quite obviously pointed out that THE ISSUE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INTERPRETED CODE.

    i never said the issue was with interpreted code. apple never said anything... let alone this being about interpreted code.... the REAL question is why are YOU talking about interpreted code?

    From headline

    The app had got into trouble for what Apple believes is being able to run interpreted code

    From article

    No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s).

    Ok, if you don't believe my numbers, fine. Maybe Canada has better insulation standards than where ever you are.

    But you didn't answer my questions as to what heats up quicker - a room with a south facing window or south facing wall? If windows and walls are basically the same insulation value as you say then both rooms would heat identically, which clearly they do not. If windows let more heat in than walls then it follows that they let more heat out.

    A 2x4 wall with insulation (vapour barrier and siding of course) will give you R12. This is a basic modern insulated wall.

    Do you really think any of those 7000 to 9000 attacks actually got through? No, so therefore they are already fixed. These are just stupid script kiddies learning to be terrorists. They are probably just modifying code fond on the net that has long since been protected against.

    R is simply 1/U

    The side of windows matters a lot more than you think. Ask any energy expert. In fact do a thermal analysis of the heat loss in your house. If properly insulated, all heat loss will be through the windows.

    U of 0.2 is R5. Even basic insulation on a 2x4 wall will give you R12 (U=0.08), and some new low-e houses use 6" walls on the exterior (staggered 2x4 so there is no direct path for heat from inside to outside) which will give you at least R22 (U=0.045). Windows are well over an order of magnitude less efficient than walls.

    Still don't believe windows are a huge heat loss? Does your house heat up with the sun shining more with a wall, small window or big window? Clearly a big window lets in more heat from the sun. Heat goes both ways through a window so if it lets heat in it will let heat out too.

    Unless it's a window on the south that can catch some sun. That will actually (partially) heat your house. Windows on other directions are indeed quite wasteful.

    Yes, that's great and highly energy efficient (until the sun goes down).

    In Scandinavia, triple glass windows (standard double glass with an additional window against it) are quite standard. Just curious how that is in other places around the world.

    Triple pane is standard in Canada. Even better is double low-E but filled with Argon.

    Sure, best window is about same as worst wall. Which means you can have as big windows as you like (within a reason).

    What are you talking about? That statement doesn't make sense. The worst wall would be an uninsulated sheet of drywall. The best window will only ever get you to about R3 (and cost $500 to $1000 each) and typical windows are less than R1. A good wall would easily be R20 or more and not cost nearly that much. I don't understand how you can say you can have windows as big as you want. It would be impossible to keep heat in your house.

    Insulation cost difference comparing "normal" and "low energy" house is minimal (~3%).

    that's right for insulation in a wall. It's cheap to increase your walls and ceiling R value. But windows cannot go past R1 to R3 no matter what you do.
