  1. Re:Physics and economics don't care on Why Micron/Intel's New Cross Point Memory Could Virtually Last Forever · · Score: 1

    do tell the $500 solution that would "fix the power" for an entire house.

  2. Re:If you think Windows is bad on Mozilla CEO: Windows 10 Strips User Choice For Browsers and Other Software · · Score: 2

    Nope, in fact it is the opposite situation. OS X has the BSD userland

    But a Linux distro only need have the Linux kernel, period

    Android is a Linux, deal with it

  3. Re:Dear Mozilla CEO on Mozilla CEO: Windows 10 Strips User Choice For Browsers and Other Software · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is actually on the side of those corporations that want to take control of your system away from you, for marketing and advertisement and monetization purposes. You are the product, not their customer.

  4. Re:If you think Windows is bad on Mozilla CEO: Windows 10 Strips User Choice For Browsers and Other Software · · Score: 2

    Sorry but UNIX with all caps is the trademark, while many non-certified systems are Unix. For example OpenBSD and DragonFly are BSD Unix (and many would argue of higher quality and security than the certified UNIX(tm) systems)

    funny, plenty of those 'fat americans' use that linux distro known as "Android" without problem

  6. Re:Summary is inaccurate on Researchers Demonstrate the World's First White Lasers · · Score: 1

    Yes, laser process is happening in laser diodes. The electrical engineers are annoyed at your astounding ignorance of the subject

  7. Re:Laser whut? on Researchers Demonstrate the World's First White Lasers · · Score: 1

    the light at each of three frequencies (actually a distribution around a peak for real world lasers) will be coherent. There is also amplification of light by stimulated emission happening. So the device is indeed a laser and you armchair amateurs should just be quiet

  8. Re:Great on Researchers Demonstrate the World's First White Lasers · · Score: 1

    because such an accident has actually happened...never

    you might get stomped by a hippo that escaped from your local zoo, why don't you worry about that instead.

    a two year old could sit with a plastic steering wheel going "br-br-br-br-br-br", but that doesn't mean they're driving a car down the road

    pfft, with Martin Tajmar? He has a history of making B.S. claims, look it up: "Tajmar Gravitomagnetic Waves" in your favorite search engine. The guy is full of shit

  12. Re:Why the controversy? on German Scientists Confirm NASA's Controversial EM Drive · · Score: 2

    You're confused, an ion engine is a type of rocket. The problem with this type of drive is too much thrust is claimed for the amount of energy expended. You really can propel something with photons, whether microwave or light, since photons have momentum. But it's to the tune of a newton per 300 megawatts; in other words a fiendish amount of power to get a very small amount of thrust. Our universe is perverse like that.

    This "physicist" Tajmar has made all kinds of absurd unreproducible claims and experiments of making gravity wave effects with superconductors and similar. In short, a self-deluded person trying to be the next Einstein when really he's more snake-oil purveyor.

  13. ah, Tajmar eh? on German Scientists Confirm NASA's Controversial EM Drive · · Score: 4, Informative

    Tajmar made a lot of hoopla over ten years ago about making gravitomagnetic waves orders of magnitude more powerful than GR predicted; some were claiming we were on our way to artificial gravity or a warp drive by his bold claims. Of course, his experiments could never be duplicated. Since then, he's been trying to make waves (ha!) with other dubious claims of making gravity effects by electromagnetic means and such.

    Take anything he claims "confirmed" with a one hundred pound bag pinch of salt.

    and anything in "symbolic AI" is just re-implementing stuff done in the 1960s, often badly

    apparently human soldiers don't object to immoral or illegal orders, the superior officer has a sidearm for a reason, and it's not to shoot the enemy.

    In the movie I saw, they preyed on sci-fi actors with abysmal skills. Win-win I say.

  19. Re: Debian on an Ultra 5 on Debian Drops SPARC Platform Support · · Score: 1

    Just a word of warning, NetBSD autobuilds too much without testing, both for the OS and for the repositories. OpenBSD you might find more stable and with packages that work; the project leader and many of the core devs are sparc and sparc64 architecture experts.

  20. Re:If only the other distros would follow... on Debian Drops SPARC Platform Support · · Score: 1

    For certain applications that is a true statement about "nothing better/faster/stronger" than Sparc. The top TPC-C benchmark is by Oracle's T5-8 server, for example. Maybe your project's biggest problem is your attitude.

    the UK government has mandated that drivers of horseless carriages must mimic the acts of a horseback rider so as not to confuse equestrians, with a person in the boot to fling a piece of horse dung every half mile.
