  3. Chickens in the altiplano on Bill Gates' Donation of Thousands of Chickens Rejected by Bolivia (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I doubt that raise chickens in the altiplano is a good idea. The most poor population in Bolivia are the altiplano over 3000 m. about sea level. If they did a real field check of the plan they would be donating Llamas or Alpacas and Tools needed for fiber produce.

  4. Re:Scaling is the Key! on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not going to suddenly escape to the surfaces, it's miles down and under unfathomable pressure. If we had an earthquake strong enough to crack that, we'd have far more to worry about.

    Although the article could be deceiving, the trend is very clear in any client counting site. IE is going from over 90% to a 3rd and below. On the server side IIS share is going down too. The MS .NET model is broken and everybody knows it.

  8. Better ? Why? on Redheads Feel Pain Differently Than the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    If you think redheads are inherently different, well, you'd be right; they're better than you.

    Who said that less pain is better?. People that not feel pain (analgesia disease), can't live normally.

  9. Re:0 is heavier than 1? on The Weight of an e-Book · · Score: 2

    With the same reasoning one could argue that batteries increase in mass when charged as they take up energy - a probably much larger quantity of mass as the energies involved are so much greater.

    But when you charge batteries the temperature of the appliance will climb few points. If we take account of the molecules of air displaced out of the appliance by the raising in the temperature an expansion of the air inside, the total weight of the appliance will decrease.

    No my definition of victory is that we have options to choose. Not only IE and MS staff.

  14. Re:There is no winner on In Indonesia, a Winner For Now In the Browser Wars · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's a constant battle for supremacy. Firefox hasn't won anything.It's simply the leader at the moment.

    Firefox already won !
    In the days mozilla started, there where sites requiring VBscript and ActiveX to display.
    If mozilla failed your servers would be running IIS, and .Net, and Silverlight would already destroyed Flash.

    Furthermore, after reviewing this GPL our lawyers advised us that any
    products compiled with GPL'ed tools - such as gcc - would also have to
    its source code released. This was simply unacceptable.

    You should hire a better lawyer, GCC does NOT restrict develop non-free programs. Check the FAQ for more info.

    Somewhere it said that Mitsubishi Motors is working with Toshiba in the development, but Toyota...?

  22. Re:deeper problem on Wikipedia To Unlock Frequently Vandalized Pages · · Score: 1

    Exactly, the "pseudo-Editors" use their power to delete useful information because they can't understand their importance.

    "I deleted the article because doesn't find relevant information.
    Although there are thousands of google hits, my name had more hits than the article, hits are no sign of relevancy" said one on a deleted article.

    But the article name is unique and the "editor" name is general. And after that they group together to praise each other. They don't have a clue of what are they are editing.
