  1. Re:Disable Advertising on Lenovo "Rips and Flips" the ThinkPad With New Convertible Helix Design · · Score: 1

    You could read the Title... and not click on the summary. Seriously my internal advertising filter works really really well.

  2. Re:Lenovo, please unlock the bootloader on Lenovo "Rips and Flips" the ThinkPad With New Convertible Helix Design · · Score: 2

    Well around April i got a W series. First thinkpad i ever had. Must admit that everyone raves about the keyboards for a very good reason. Its great. But the screen broke. Off course there were 3-4 other people trying to steal it from me and i ended up with 3 broken ribs. The hinges to the screen are even bent. But the rest of the laptop is fine. Will get a W series again.

    Current plants yes. But they don't have to be slow. They can be designed to load follow even.

    Not to rag on your comment. But seriously i would love to have someone work on the comments and documentation of my projects. Its sorely needed, but not measured and a thankless task.

    the idea of needing different source for the same hardware on different OSes is very... well lame, even for freeking TCP/IP. The 60s called and want their crappy standard libraries back.

    I went through the TSA in Chicago about 3 days ago. I don't think there is any amount of training that would help them operate the said device properly.

    That's nothing. There are these extreme Nigerians that have like 5 Nigerian princes as brothers. All they need is a little cash to make the transaction of ONE HINDERED MILLION DOLLARS and give me 50% in return.

    As scientist. It is not a bad place to start as far as assumptions go.

    The problem for people who like to lie about science is that the science of AGW is very basic and well understood.

    Having friends that work on this, it is not basic in any way or form. If it was we wouldn't need the biggest supercomputers ever build working on the problem.

    I wonder how this debate will be "recalled" in 50 years time.

    I am a scientist. I have seen scientists be academically dishonest for far less. How much does Gore make on carbon credits again?

    bacteria are a lot bigger than a nanoparticle. Asbestos is a nano fiber and is really bad for us. There is no reason to dismiss this out of had. They really could have strong negative effects.

    Really. Then why do we get sick from Asbestos? It is a nano fiber. Our lungs don't deal with it at all. We have a precedent.

    Perhaps in the US. Not in NZ. But do you have data to back up your claim that eating it makes you sick?

    Its not clear at all. Seriously how processed are tomatoes, carrots, potatoes etc? I recall seeing them in a supermarket. Or meats. Sure i have butchered animals myself, but do you to avoid "processing". Ham, bacon etc are all processed and have been for a long time, typically with much more salt in the old days before refrigeration. Milk from a cow tastes different, but then if you take the cream out, what would you expect. Butter, read the ingredients...

    Seriously. What do you mean by processed.

    I think you just have a list of things you "know" are bad for you, it has a Truthiness to it. You put them in the processed category.

    The only time my food is processed is by me, right before I eat it.

    That's unhealthy right there. Well there is as much evidence that its unhealthy as anything else you have claimed.

  23. Re:They had these during the Cold War, slow news d on Interactive Nukemap Now In 3D · · Score: 1

    It requires a *lot* of bomb grade material. The hardest part of making a bomb, is bomb grade material by a long shot. Microsecond timing is easy these days, your computer, cell phone and even that AVR has timing that accurate. These days once you have the material there is not much hard about a bomb. So a implosion device is almost certainly what would be used.

  24. Re:LHC on The DNA Data Deluge · · Score: 1

    We don't in fact produce that much data. The reason they have a lot of data they don't know what to do with is because they didn't do any experimental design in the first place. And its cheap to keep intermediate data around you probably don't need to keep anyway.

    It does not sound that impressive when you say a "box of hard drives" after a year, and a whooping 5 boxes after 5 years.

    Of course it would sound more impressive if they used a stack of punched cards....
