  1. but... on Physicists Watch Individual Electrons Flow · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does it run on linux?

  2. Marx on Chinese Students' Cheating Techniques - Don't Try at Home · · Score: 0

    Marx plan was: 1. Revolution 2. Socialism 3. ??? 4. True communism We are still trying to figure what the step 3 was.

  3. Re:burn...burn..burn... on 18 Years in Software Tools, an Insider's View · · Score: 0

    The original post was only 2min before this one, to this redundant -1 mod was pretty unfair.

  4. Cool on Frozen Chip from IBM hits 500 GHz · · Score: 0

    Now imagine a beowulf cluster of these!

  5. Will it ship before DNF? on Blu-Ray Launch Expected Next Week · · Score: 0

    But will it ship before Duke Nukem Forever? Or perhaps, DNF will be redesigned from scratch to take full advantage of this format?

  6. Re:A simple fix for patents on Amazon Asks Congress to Curb Patent Abusers · · Score: 0

    There are countries that show no respect for IP. And they are not going to reproduce an intel chip, an ipod nor nothing that requires too much technology. Copyrights only protect US companies that dont do anything important, the true great things they do never needed a patent nor copyright. We will continue drinking cokes and buying intel & amd chips. But we should not care about companies like Nike that just put a logo in a chinese product.

  7. Release it with another name on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 0

    So we can keep our "will it be released before DNF" jokes.

  8. Whats the point of export restrictions anyway? on Hifn Restricts Crypto Docs, OpenBSD Opens Fire · · Score: 0

    Everybody know its already very easy to have good encryption outside the US. And how did they expect information to be available to their entire population and not leak outside their borders?

  9. GPL does not mix with commercial software on Microsoft Calls for Truce With GPL and Linux? · · Score: 0

    A commercial application cannot link with a gpl library. And there are people at the FSF pushing for the gpl to be adopted by libraries. So, they want a world where, if I cant make software GPL and still survive, I cant do it at all.

  10. Re:CipherTrust? nothx. on Spam from Taiwan · · Score: 0

    The site identified correctly that addresses, you made a lame interpretation that it received bogus info, without reading nothing that was presented at the screen: "Broadcast addresses These addresses cannot (should not) be routed on the Internet." And "The IP is part of a reserved netblock and should not be sending any emails." And "First seen: Never"

  11. Re:Beware of Microsoft's advice on June Windows Update To Be Biggest in a Year · · Score: 0

    You can install a 32-bit firefox, and run the flash and java plugins. Worked well with my amd64 FC5.

  12. Never! on The End of Native Code? · · Score: 0

    The java crowd keep sending those benchmarks where java performs greatly. But still, any big app I take to test runs like crap. Even the java-coded tools used to create java programs themselves perform like crap. Its a pain to use that. Even eclipse runs like crap, in computers were everything else runs just fine.

  13. just testing it on Google Earth v4 Released - Linux Support at Last · · Score: 0

    I feel the scroll is not as smooth as it was in older versions I tested in windows. It keeps stopping to download, then when it comes back it throws you far away from where you were before. But now they put photos of my city on it, that werent in this older version, so I liked it a lot.

  14. He tried to get an appointment on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 0

    "The FSF France wrote to the French Prime minister two weeks ago so that he might receive Richard Stallman, founding president of the Free Software Foundation, before making any decision on the DADVSI bill. Richard Stallman was to be present in Paris at the beginning of June 2006 for various public actions against DRM and the DADVSI bill. The FSF France received no answer (neither negative nor positive) from Prime Minister."

  15. Re:I think KDE is evil on Lower Saxony KDE Migration · · Score: -1, Troll

    Just wait until this project is forked, or trolltech dies or something. Licensing issues in its internal libraries can kill linux, render it less usable than windows.

  16. I think KDE is evil on Lower Saxony KDE Migration · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I hate KDE because it uses QT. A tool that enforces your resulting work to be free doesnot really feel likes a free tool. I am all for libraries using LGPL, as it was previously named "Library GPL". I lost my respect for Stallman when he started preaching people to use GPL for libraries. If people followed this nuttery it would be increasingly difficult to run any commercial software in linux.

  17. Its funny because its true on The Living Dilbert? · · Score: 1

    I still remember, when I was young and did not start to work yet. I looked at that stripes and could not figure what was funny about that. The day I started to work I saw how corporations work, and understood the stripes. They just show how stupid and funny our reality is. Its quite like simpsons. I love both them.

  18. Outsourcing is perfectly fair on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 1

    Americans enjoy selling things to us 3rd worlders, that is almost the same than doing jobs that could be here. But then, they get very angry when we have an opportunity for a job that would be possibly done in ther country. It is perfectly fair for us to be able do to those jobs. What is the problem with you? Do you know a trash collector in the USA is better paid than a computer programmer in Brazil? You dont want to know how much a trash collector earns here. Do you guys enjoy apreciate to see us in eternal poverty?

  19. I will miss the jokes on Duke Nukem Forever Due This Year? · · Score: 1

    The original duke 3d is still the FPS I most enjoyed playing. But its unlikely DNF will be any better than the jokes about it never being released, I will miss that too.

  20. Re:My experience with capacitors. on Capacitors to Replace Batteries? · · Score: 1

    No capacitor give you a tension higher than the one used to charge them. These super-capacitors are supposed to retain its tension for a period as long as a normal battery, with increased capacitancy, and low tension. You cannot make anything in the nano scale with high tension, it would be impossible to isolate.

  21. Re:Safety? Durability? on Capacitors to Replace Batteries? · · Score: 1

    When you put a voltimeter in a car battery, its internal resistance already reduced the tension on its terminals. So, that 12V has already taken that into account. The 220V in an AC outlet has also already taken into account everything you said. Its peak tension is HIGHER than 220V. It burn you with the same heat as 220V DC. AC is a bit safer because you feel its effets and react faster. So, go learn something before coming here and insulting me.

  22. US would not be the first on U.S. House Rejects Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The NET is already not neutral in some european coutries and in the third world. If you wanna know what can happen: At my home I have an ADSL with several blocked ports, and if a use the standard 4662 emule port it suddently get slow, (some weak taffick shaping against emule, enough for the layman anyway). If I want to run a server with all the ports unblocked (80, 25, etc), I need to pay for a 2X more expensive connection. In Europe, there is a country (I am not sure if its Portugal), that there is a limit for international traffic, and allows unlimited national traffic. There is too many fear-mongering (FUD?) in all this story, free-market is well proven too work well. If all this didn't happen in the third world, where just a few ISPs control the market, it wont happen in the larger american market.

  23. Re:Safety? Durability? on Capacitors to Replace Batteries? · · Score: 1

    current = tension / resistance If you put a voltimeter in a short-circuited/touched van de graff generator it will show you it loses its tension when it has load. The famous "its the current that kills" is a quite empty catch-phrase, since current and tension are directly proportional, and your body resistance is fixed. I already touched the outlet at 220V and did didnt kill me. I can hardly imagine what would be the maximum current that power station is capable of throwing at me, but its limited by my body resistance.

  24. Re:Safety? Durability? on Capacitors to Replace Batteries? · · Score: 1

    You are wrong. The amperage is limited by my body resistance and the battery tension. 12V dont hurt anyone.

  25. Re:My experience with capacitors. on Capacitors to Replace Batteries? · · Score: 1

    Monitors and TVs have capacitors that work with a very high tension, to emit electrons. The capacitor someone would use to power a laptop would be something like 12V and 5V. You will be able to touch it with your hand, and you wont even feel anything, just like touching the contacts of your phone battery.
