    I love it how people blame linux for manufactures xnot suporting their hardware on it then say it is linuxs fault for not having someone that could properly reverse engineer the hardware to their liking.
    Also it is fun to watch people complain about How they cuoldn't get a monitor to display in 1920x1600 while i type this on my monitor displaying in 1920x1600 funny what a google search and not being an idiot will do for you

    it's not popular to believe in God

    Of Course it isn't populat. even when science can not explain why the univerce is the way it is. It is still better to have blind faith in humans who have constintaly been proven wrong and rutinely have their theories debunked by future scientests, then it is to beleave in God. reminds me of a proverb

    It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter
    Proverbs 25:2

    Here's the reality.


    I would say here is the reality, Most copies of windows are either OEM or Pirate. People who buy Dell and upgrade by taking their computers to the "Geek Squad" at best buy won't care about this at all. The people who will care are thoes who pirate windows and use it as a primary system for games/devolopment this is alot of the younger collage age people. When their ability to have the OS of their choice for free on their Computer so they can play CS is lost they will have to think about either legitimatly getting a copy or migrating.

    That is why this is the best news ever I just wish Microsoft had the best anti piracy system ever. How much market share on windows and office would competly evaporate if only legitimate copies of the software ran.

  7. Re:Redhat lost opensource developer support... on Red Hat Promises A More Vibrant Fedora · · Score: 0

    People who wanted more updated packages and hated breaking RPM dependencies and like to occasionally build things from source or optomize their packages found Gentoo and decided that rebuilding their entire OS could be fun, easy, and that their OS didn't need to become Legacy in 12 months.
    And that is really what it is all about. RH should take a page form Gentoo's description
    Gentoo Linux, a special flavor of Linux that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need.
    Make a distro that can be used both at home and a corporate enviroment. no more RHEL and Fedora

  8. Re:homosexuality on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    He's also a christian. Now why is it that potentially 51% of the voters in the U.S. are opposed to gays and probably more of them think that you can't be gay AND christian at the same time. It's a sad and twisted country I live in.

    And i quote
    Leviticus 30:13
    If a man also lie with mankind , as he lieth with a woman, both of them have commited an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

    that was from the KJV and under the theorcracy of old testement Isreal. That was a crime punishiable by death. Under the new covinent it is a sin still punished with death, as all sins are ( spiritual death that is )

  10. Re:Some thoughts for you on Can Your Car Get 1,700 MPG? · · Score: 1

    Air is about 79% nitrogen, and slightly under 20% oxygen. Nitrogen "burns" - that's how you get all those nitrogen-based pollutants out the exhaust.

    I am calling BS this is a total peice of crap the N dosen't burn if it did then you could just pump air into your engine and haver it produce useable energy what it does so is react in a heated enviroment with oxygen to procude a nitrogen/oxygen mixture in various ratios this increase in produce that dosen't produce any useable energy slows down the burning of Carbon type molicules and reduces the completeness of the carbon burning process .

    Ideally, what you'd want to do is separate the oxygen and nitrogen, so that the oxygen ratio in the engine is much higher

    No because then your engine will die/melt/explode from the fruition of the carbon based fuel burning to completion

    Not using a conventional piston engine. We're almost at the limits for those, given a standard air mix. A rotary engine might get you a better theoretical limit

    BS rotary engines use the same process as a piston one and from a heat engine standpoint ( go check your first year thermo course) its the same process

    For ultimate fuel efficiency, I suggest a small fusion reactor.

    I am happy to see that your ultimate efficent machine runs at just about 40 % with an atifically imposed therotical limit of 78%
