    There are also 15.4" panels that are 1920x1200, Lenovo (at least used to) offer them on T61p's.

  3. 171? on Green GT's All-Electric Supercar Unveiled · · Score: 3, Informative

    171 mph top speed jumps out at me as very uncompetitive at Le Mans. The Circuit de la Sarthe is a long track with a lot of straights, especially the Mulsanne Straight. Last year, the cars in the GT2 class which I assume this will compete in (the slowest class) topped out at 182-186mph for the most part.

  9. Re:No legitimate way to watch NBCs content? on TV Torrents — When Piracy Is Easier Than Purchase · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe that it is legal to download a TV show if it is over the air or a cable tv show which you pay for (by subscribing to cable or satellite that gets that tv show). It's essentially the same thing that a DVR does, from a different source. However, the illegal part comes in when you download a cable show that you don't get on your cable/satellite or share to other people. Not that I have any qualms about downloading and sharing Top Gear :)

  10. Re:Now all we need to do on Smart Car Coming To the US In Jan. 2008 · · Score: 1

    So the Smart is safe because it hit a nice big car with a large crumple zone? It's still horribly unsafe when it hits anything stationary like a telephone pole.

  11. Re:Now all we need to do on Smart Car Coming To the US In Jan. 2008 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wouldn't exactly call a Smart "safe," at least compared to larger cars. It might have a spiffy protective cage so that cabin doesn't deform in a crash and smoosh the occupants, but you can't argue with physics. And I'm not talking about mass and collisions with large SUVs. The tiny size means that when you hit something there is less time to decelerate since the distance between the front bumper and the passenger cabin is so small. This means that the force acting on the occupants in a crash is multiple times greater than in a normal sized car. It may be safe for a car its size, but compared to any run of the mill small car it's *NOT* safe.

  12. Re:But will they be cheaper? on Dell Linux Details · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But with Windows on a $700 laptop, I'm sure they install all kinds of crapware that brings the cost down, which they obviously can't do with Linux. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual cost to Dell for Windows and Linux is the same.

    I wouldn't consider paying more for better quality music as I already don't buy any crappy quality download music, but I would at least consider it if the quality went up and the price remained the same.

    Maximum PC magazine received a few hard drives for review from a manufacturer they would not name, about a year about. What were they packaged in? Four CRATES, yes WOODEN CRATES, three of which were completely empty.

    What are they smoking? Most people run what, 1.5 to 4mbit connections? Even the slowest hard drives on Dells should be able to manage 25mbytes a second, on the slowest part of the drive. That's like 200mbit internet.
