While you can hackintosh some laptops, chances are pretty low that you can get it running on a $300 laptop. Considering my hourly pay, it is not worth tinkering 10 hours to make a $300 plastic laptop into a fake Mac. I rather pay the extra money and have a sleek metal laptop that e.g. connects flawlessly to my timecapsul.
I have the same problem with Safari and Chrome. Usually a runaway Javascript. The worst thing you can do is having dozens or a hundred tans, watching a youtube video and stopping it in the moment it is loading an add. That is a nearly 100% chance for a beach ball. However I still can log in via SSH and can kill the tab.
The problem is mot the size of RAM. The problem is that Chrome opens every tab in its own process. And default process VM footprint on a Mac is the size of the RAM, hence every process occupies 4 or 8 Gig swap space. More RAM would make the problem even worse. How Chrome however manages to actually use 500MB or more for a single tab is beyond me. So: you are mot insightful but an idiot. And your up,odder, too. When a 100kB Web site needs half a gig of RAM, then ot is the fault of the browser/programmer, not the owners.
Windows NT was built with VMS in mind, not OS/2 This is nonsense. OS/2 was a joined project of IBM and MS, at some point MS left the joint venture and forked NT from the OS/2 code base. In the heart they still are the exact same software, besides the changes and further development during the previous 20 - 30 years ofc.
I hope you are not in the software business. This: A programmer who depends on software to tell him when he's done a mistake deserves blame heaped up high. is a extremely idiotic attitude.
Security bugs are relatively easy to avoid. I mean in relation to wrong understood business requirements, simple mistakes etc. Your attitude is just like throwing in the towel and not even trying to minimize bugs.
As an anecdote: the main flight computer of the Space Shuttle had something like 400kLOC, the total software close to a million lines of code. Total number of bugs in production: 4. After those where fixed, the software was/is _bug free_.
Of course it is MS fault! Who else? If Vista, 7 and 8 and now 10 would not be such shitty OSes people would switch.
On top of that, some of those OSes have idiotic minimum requirements and don't even install. Even if the single application/appliance that would later run in it would run just fine.
Except that there is no real reason to discontinue an OS. There is also no real reason to pump out new OS versions in a two to three years rhythm. Operating systems would be much more secure if MS (and I'm also looking at Apple) if they would not be rewritten again and again. The quality of software production, and the level of experience if you rewrite an OS or an Office Suit etc. is simply to low. It is idiotic to assume I can set up a new team for Office 2020, and that new team will make a better Office than we have right now. Regarding an OS that is even more true. They simply will make the same mistakes they did in Win NT and fixed them later, then the same mistakes like in XP and so on... (Just an example, I don't use MS Office products if I can avoid... wtf, I hid some columns in an excel sheet today, to print it. It was impossible to show them later again... who can be productive with such shit?)
I guess when Apple goes even more downhill, I switch to Linux, setting up my own distro and running every application in its own sandbox/vm. But I will miss my AppleScript macros and Mail.app:(
So we agree that Europe is to big to be covered by an anti cyclone, (why you not call it a high pressure area is beyond me) or we do not agree? I suggest again to look on a map, and perhaps find some links that tell you how big the "low wind speed" area in the center of a high pressure zone is. (*facepalm*) The link you posted actually has a nice picture. The High pressure zone is surrounded by *5* low pressure zones. I suggest to learn what that actually means for wind.
You are impressively persistent on your quest to demonstrate your ignorance. Could say the same about you. Wind speeds around a high pressure zone (that is how people call it, as I pointed out: no one knows what an anticyclone is, except you - of course) are quite nice for power generation.
That is your definition. But not the definition of a power company. Tidal power runs completely predictable 20h a day and only stops 2 times during low tide and 2 times during high tide, completely predictable for about 1h each. You are mixing up (and the articles you link to) "intermittent" with "dispatchable".
Waves are intermittent only in the strictest sense of the word.
Point is you can forecast them and you now how much energy you get from waves the next days or even weeks.
I doubt any energy company would call a tidal plant intermittent, though. It is intermittent in the same sense as a pumped storage plant is. Just consider it a pumped storage plant that produces no energy during the hour of high tide and the hour of low tide.
Pretty simple. And Mr D is just an idiot.
Some days, the surf is great - others, the ocean is calm... In the north sea? Or Irish sea? The Channel? Interesting... Tides alone cause so many waves there, no wind needed.
Reminds me when I suggested to my company around 1997 to build a refactoring and fast forward generator based IDE for C++ and Java. I wanted to call it Rapid Application Programming Environment. RAPE.
One of the CEOs was from Australia and suggested I should consult a dictionary to see what "rape" means.
Why should I? In a period over roughly 25 hours we have two low tides and two high tides. You can predict them millions of years in advance... Actually you can predict them till the end of the universe...
There are thousands of artists I never have heard of. Amanda Palma, I only know the name, for one particular reason: a female student in my Aikido Dojo has a crush on her. And she told me about her because I was talking about 'American Gods', a book of Neil. Actually I don't know how she looks like (neither do I know about Neil, nor can I remember his surname (Stevenson?) ), I don't know what kind of music she makes... nor do I care. But I likely continue to by Neils books... and perhaps I stumble over music by Almanda...
Actually, as Torvalds is from Finland, he likely learned british english, like most of the world. I'm German, and did not know as well that 'git' means 'idiot'. Seems to be a rarely used word, in that context. But good to know. Actually, I don't even know what the long term is behind the acronym git. Well, I always assumed it is an acronym.
I linked you the frauenhofer sources... so go figure. No idea what your agenda is. Germany has reduced its CO2 footprint over the last decades by 25 - 30 % Claiming otherwise makes you look like an idiot, but go ahead. You seem not to listen to any argument I send you:)

No, the tans are not reloaded.
At least not usually.
I have the same problem with Safari and Chrome.

Oh, I thought it was opposite around.
I stand corrected, my fault.
Actually I don't listen to music anymore since years. ...
Unless a band plays in my favourite pub
Jazz is one of my preferred forms, yes.
My CDs I gave to my father and my iTunes music I probably should delete, did not listen to any song since ages.
Dresden Dolls, I heard about when I googled her name yesterday. She indeed has a strange idea about eye brows :D
First song is funny, second one can not be played in Germany ... one of the reasons why I no longer bother with "music from the industry".
/. is written in perl ...
Java Byte Code is JIT compiled.
So chances are that it is much faster than the original perl byte code.
Why should I? ... ...

Go back to school ...
Scientists don't use the term 'anticyclone' for a period without wind.
And: I did not attack you. If you felt attacked that is only in your mind.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
Here, anticyclone, high pressure area. Rotating clockwise. Mixed it up in my previous post as I assumed you were talking about american hurricanes.
Cyclone or Anticyclone, nothing implies: no wind. Except in the center of it, obviously.
So your posts about anticyclones make no sense whatsoever. And as I pointed out: no one understands that term anyway, not even you!
There are thousands of artists I never have heard of. ... nor do I care. ... and perhaps I stumble over music by Almanda ...

Slightly better than Gimp and Git nut on the same level as Subversion and subversive.
I linked you the frauenhofer sources ... so go figure. :)
No idea what your agenda is.
Germany has reduced its CO2 footprint over the last decades by 25 - 30 %
Claiming otherwise makes you look like an idiot, but go ahead. You seem not to listen to any argument I send you
And the EEX has nothing to do with supply and demand of household energy.
What is so hard to grasp?
