    The whole thing that I find the most horrifying is that Minority Report came out over a decade ago! I could have sworn it was about 5 years ago.

  6. Re:Linus sounds exhausted with his own project. on Linus Torvalds Explodes at Red Hat Developer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have some friends that talk like that when they're completely calm. You can't gauge how emotional this response is based on the words alone.

    You seem more than happy to waste yet more time responding to me, so it's clear that time isn't really the stumbling block here.

    I hate to break it to you, but this entire conversation, including this post, is a waste of time.

  10. Re:CO2 has industrial uses on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 1

    Just think it through for a few seconds and you'll realise that two sources of CO2 have been reduced to one.

    In the first instance, 50 tons of CO2 comes out of the coal and goes up the stack. Then another 50 tons of CO2 comes out of some other source and is released into the atmosphere by the other industrial process. Total CO2 released into the atmosphere: 100 tons.

    In the second instance, the 50 tons of CO2 that would have gone up the stack is held back, then released later by the other industrial purpose. Total CO2 released into the atmosphere: 50 tons.

    After some cursory googling around, I can only find benchmarks showing firefox using significantly less ram than other browsers. A couple of examples.

  16. Re:My problem is quite the opposite. on Ask Slashdot: Spreadsheet With Decent Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Trying to do anything involving logging/manipulating data in a table in a word processor is like trying to sculpt syrup. I use oo calc to handle lists of things because you can pull it all apart and move it around, reformat it, reorder it, swipe cells to see totals, etc without the whole thing turning into a knotted shoelace like it would in Word or Writer.

  18. Re:CEO Switchout on Tesla Motors Battles the New York Times · · Score: 2

    . That means slower driving, and that means running the car for a much longer period.

    I don't think that makes sense in the context of an electric motor. An ICE has to idle while the car is stationary, and rev faster in lower gears when moving around slowly, but the electric motor only turns when propelling the car, and there is a single gear.

    The Tesla S carrying an 85kWh battery is supposed to use 37 kWh/100 mi on the highway, and 38 in the city, which is a difference of ~2.5%

  19. Re:The theory of gravity is under review :) on Texas School Board Searching For Alternatives To Evolutionary Theory · · Score: 1

    All humans are stupid, including you and me, and the guy who used the phrase "god-tards". Sniping at each other and trying to make ourselves feel like we aren't stupid by sneering at other people is also stupid.

    Fair enough, someone else might hold some view or belief that you may be able to objectively demonstrate doesn't hold water - that isn't justification for labelling and beating them down with derisory name calling. It's a self-defeating attempt to assert status over someone which just exposes one's own insecurity to everyone that witnesses it.

  20. Re:FSM on Texas School Board Searching For Alternatives To Evolutionary Theory · · Score: 4, Informative

    The atheist's annotated bible is a very poor example from which to base your assessment of the depth of the reasoning behind atheism. It's around the level of youtube comments. The idea that it's at all representative is as credible as considering the Westboro Baptist Church to be an accurate representation of the attitude of most Christians.

    Isn't that post that was unclear, it was the follow up post that I actually replied to that was completely ambiguous.

    Reading - it's a useful life skill

    It never hurts to request clarification. Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups, as they say. There's no need to over-react.

    That's wierd, I'm almost certain I was specifically addressing whether or not they were rumours, not whatever that was that you just spewed directly from your ass to the comment box.

    Are you saying Ouya and the Steam Box are just rumours? Because that clearly isn't true.
