  1. Re:gnome is just fine. on 2 Displays and 2 Workspaces With Linux and X? · · Score: 1

    this is not the case for me, and i also use 9.10 with Nvidia drivers. I use the twinview settings.

  2. Re:Obligatory Bogus First Post ... on In Britain, Better Not Call It Bogus Science · · Score: 1

    this sounds like statistics 101.. nothing can ever be proven.. :) (statistically anyway)

  3. Re:Bravo! on Pirate Party Wins At Least One European Parliament Seat · · Score: 5, Interesting

    actually a lot of people voted on the pirate party to protect civil liberties and personal rights. (I did for an example)

  4. Re:Don't blame me, on The Great Ethanol Scam · · Score: 3, Insightful

    yeah, and you got it completely backwards, what he says is that all cars run on some degree of ethanol mixed gasoline, but some cars run on pure ethanol. Nowhere does the wiki article refute his claim.

  5. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Locking Down Linux Desktops In an Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    dude, what have you been smoking? hook me up with some of that..

    on a side note though, the first account you create will be the admin, and therefore have sudo access, however the following accounts will not have sudo access. and this can be easily remedied, and will be if you're setting up a lot of boxes.

  6. Re:Recycling aluminum on A New Way To Produce Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    You do have a point about the infrastructure needs that rise with new energy carriers such as biogas or hydrogen, but solid oxide fuel cells can run on hydrocarbons or hydrogen, and thereby is a viable option for using biogas as a intermediary carrier, and later shifting to hydrogen if the technology gets advanced enough.

  7. Re:if you think it's over... on Pirate Bay Day 3 — Defense Requests Dismissal · · Score: 3, Informative

    that, and the small detail, that in Sweden, we don't have a jury system in the courts. We have Nämndemän, which are appointed by the political parties.

  8. Re:Math? on Mars Winds Clean Spirit's Solar Panels Again · · Score: 1

    the 180Wh is what it uses regardless. So the increase from 210 Wh in to 240 Wh in makes for a doubling of expendable energy.

  9. Re:I don't get it ?? on TrapCall Service To Bypass Caller ID Blocking · · Score: 1

    now they can't call and whine without the person on the receiving end knowing who to blame.

  10. as a sailor on Batteries To Store Wind Energy · · Score: 1

    i would have to say that it always blows in the day, however in the evenings and during the night there is seldom any wind.

    ofcourse it is! I thought it was common knowledge that there was no internet prior to Internet Exploder?

  12. Re:How deep? on British Royal Navy Submarines Now Run Windows · · Score: 1

    and there you're correct. but still, the proportional error is ~5 times bigger when measuring 24 times. And i do believe the keyword here is proportional, ofcourse if you have a 1% measurement error, it doesn't amount to much, but if you make it 5%, all of a sudden you're off. Congrats on a nice course.

  13. Re:How deep? on British Royal Navy Submarines Now Run Windows · · Score: 1

    you my good sir obviously have not taken a class in statistics, as clearly, measuring 24 times would make for a huge margin of error. Better to grab a 2m "yardstick" and measure twice, and cut at a total of 2.5146 m

  14. Re:They never were on Are Biofuels Still Economically Feasible? · · Score: 0, Troll

    actually, i would recommend neither. Competing with fuel is just a bad idea, and can lead to food shortage in poor parts of the world. A More feasible solution is celluloic ethanol, i.e. from wood, corn stover, hemp and biogas (methane) from farms. but still this is nowhere near enough, and we need to change the way we think about transportation. And i can't believe that people still argue that there's no global warming. It's sort of like arguing that the earth is 6000 years old..

  15. Re:none on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    sort of the same thing happened to me, and this was a result of a truce after me changing all backgrounds to a girl and a goat getting it. Hey i was 15, it was ok to be immature, and they had crazy lockdowns. Which they agreed to remove.

    because we're sad that it wasn't a frag grenade, and that it didn't go of? that'd made my christmas.

    hehe, when reading the posts, i can't help but starting to wonder is this just a troll, or are there really so stoopid people?

    since the submission date counts, i would disagree with you, however there are plenty of other cases of prior art.

    and that would be highly unlikely. The water you are referring to is called Distilled/DeIonized water and is a really bad idea to drink in any larger quantities, as it screws with your electrolyte balance, and can cause death.

    So mister fuckface. tell me HOW you can with your shitty windows and shitty linux and extra shitty BSD capture, compost and edit a TV show or movie without making it look like a 12 year old did it in his basement

    and how about the fact that Mac OSX is based of BSD? In my eyes, it's like saying linux sucks, but ubuntu is teh shiznitz!

  25. Re:Of course they should concentrate on the server on Shuttleworth Says Canonical Is Not Cash-Flow Positive · · Score: 5, Interesting

    yeah, but still the fact that the increase of linux is almost 90% in little less than a year, it seems as though the ball has started to roll.
