  1. Not again???? on Samba Runs Into Naming Problems In Germany · · Score: 1

    What is it with these German companies? I remember when Ford was launching the Ford Focus, some German magazine tried to prevent them from using that name because their magazine was called Focus. Could it be "free publicity"?

  2. Re:Evil Energy Companies on Could The Moon Power Earth? · · Score: 1

    I agree, hybrid cars can have their gass powered engines run much more effecient. In the near future, they could be one of the best solutions.

    I can't really agree with you. Allthough distribution of electricity as accompanied with some loss, you have to take into account that the energy produced in energy plants can be produced much cleaner.

    One of the biggest problems of getting cars cleaner and economic is the fact that the engine doesn't run on a constant load and rpm. This means you have to find a compromise for all the different loads and rpm's.

    The "engines" at energy plants can run at a constant load and rpm. This means they can be controlled to consume less fuel and produced less dirty gasses. These gasses could even be filtered with big installations. I can't see every car towing a filtering installation.

    Allthough maybe not THE solution, IMHO it's a better solution than our gass-powered cars.

  4. Re:Microsoft does innovate on Microsoft's 'Freedom to Innovate' Brochure · · Score: 1

    Don't confuse the kernel with the GUI. M$ considers them the same but not for Linux. Linux is the kernel, all the rest are tools made by the GNU community, GUI's etc... The kernel should be the small, tight, stabil core of your OS (like it is with Linux), not the bloated, unstable piece of code M$ made. Most of the "innovations" M$ stole from others are in the GUI, not the kernel.
