Nice point, but doesn't really apply to modern gas automobiles. In fact, new cars make so little CO you can't kill yourself with them any more. Gasoline doesn't contain sulfur so it doesnt contribute to acid rain.
I think microsoft could definitly sell single use machines with a new, better os on it. Why port sql server to linux, when you can port it to shinybetteros?
the quality of the actual projects and results varies wildly
This is what you would expect from basic research. I am sure there are thousands of Bell Labs duds that everyone has forgotten about.
3) DC-DC voltage conversion is, somewhat less efficient...
This is probably where most of the losses are anyway. Efficient transformer design is well known, but those nonlinear converters are pretty wasteful. Having a 12v source in your home will not help this. I don't even know if there is one component in a computer that runs on 12v.
the difference is that people willingly installed windows on their computer. with the sony thingamajiggy you don't have a choice, or at least they misrepresent that choice.
I think if he graduated from MIT it would say so: Randell Mills, a Harvard University medic who also studied electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
He probably took one class and dropped out.

How much energy is spent in the recycling effort? That is the real question.

I would recommend boycotting their hardware too. The love proprietary formats and other incompatable junk. The whole company is rotten to the core.

unix is based on processes vs threads for windows. of course it is faster!
And you know who makes money off this daisy-chain? Patent attorneys. Lawyers have figured out how to suck blood out of every segment of society.

fixing the slow startup and memory problems would buy them alot of goodwill.
/., like google can do no evil. So STFU!

How about finding a nice solid(metal) asteroid to use as a weight and attach a propulsion system to it?
i have all of my code from each job archived since 1999. It is always a great reference.
Since vista is not out yet and the anti-spyware is beta, i would assume it is for windows 2000/Xp

I guess they are saying to "follow the money". If somebody buys a mac this year instead of a pc, they are converted.
sorry but people dying from smoking costs insurers less than the cost of non-smokers dying.
My son goes to Perochial school, they teach religion and evolution. I guess they figure that one day he will make a decision for himself.
Big silicon wafers are pretty much a fixed cost (energy) to manufacture. Efficiency = cost savings.
Story up for 20 minutes and 5 comments. The chance of me reading this review is slim.
Zonk is the John Katz of video games.
I think somebody should create a "bird penis", or "revenge of the penis" asci image. Trolls need to diversify.
No I think Reagan pushing coal power had more to do with it.
That is the best-written synopsis I have seen in a while. And posted by ZONK no less!
No, you missed the point. They put a little bit of Jobs reality distortion field in each one.
