The rate of power transfer through a circuit is specified using the watt unit of measure which is equal to one joule per second. Voltage measures the potential difference across a load. eg. the degree with which electrons are kicked in the arse to get moving. Anyway, the solar power produced would probably work quite well combined with the capture of power during breaking/pedalling. You could even adjust it to give you more resistance for training or generating power for the lights or a radio or something.
Wait a minute there, some beers are supposed to be cool but not cold; many european beers for example. A lot of the reason people like their beer cold here is because it deadens their sense of taste. When a lot of the beer brewed in the US gets warm, you can taste it and frankly more often than not, you wish you hadn't.
"I dropped out of college because of Ubuntu" is just about the laziest reason anyone could come up with to justify giving up on college. Computers loaded with Windows are pretty much everywhere so even if you bought her lazy excuse that Ubuntu didn't do anything that she needed, she could go to a library and fix that problem right then and there. The fact that she didn't just shows that she didn't have the intelligence to make it in college with or without Windows.
Linus earlier said that there is no major change in this release. This version comes with the usual two thirds driver changes, and a lot of random fixes.
please tell me he isn't thinking about adopting firefox and chrome's release model...
in all seriousness, it still looks like this is more of a rumor than anything that is going to be done for a while.
Extensions that fail to work solely because they didn't set the max compatitibility setting to 5+ are by definition poorly programmed. Take a look at the release notes, they didn't screw with anything really major that should take down extensions. I'd understand if they just gutted the whole thing and replaced all sorts of things under the hood but this was the equivalent of a minor bug fix.
that is of absolutely no use to me when firefox is using 300 megs of ram with one tab open and still crashes whenever the Java plugin activates. those are big problems that are just being compeltely ignored.
maybe maybe not. firefox's new release schedule basically renamed minor bug fixes as major releases. they are not working any faster, they just changed how they name things more or less.
that's a bug fix not a major version. in any case, right now I'm sitting here in firefox with the browser using 340 megs of ram with one tab open. that's an operating system worth of ram being used while just sitting here. the other day after the update was out, java crashed firefox and took the OS with it somehow. there are huge gaping problems that are not being dealt with.
thank you! mozilla has been adding irrelevant features instead of fixing major problems. they're becomming rhe radioshack of internet browsers slowly widdling away the only reason for their existence just to be like chrome.
Please tell me what "technological advances" Firefox 5 actually brought us. I am curious.
poorly programmed extensions are not Mozilla's fault. The attitude that emulating browsers like Chrome's development cycle is a good idea is Mozilla's fault. They're working on features like having the tabs way up top rather than fixing trivial things like Java plugin incompatibility (which works fine in chrome but crashes firefox) or dealing with the massive memory leak problem that firefox has had for years and has yet to actually try to fix. they need to get their priorities straight or they're going to die.
It depends on what you consider a "positive effect" on society. If you consider dirt cheap labor that results in a high export to import ratio then no it certainly doesn't. But if you look at what percentage of the population is consistently below the poverty line, then social programs are very positive. If you combine that with the correllation between the financial desperation of the poor and crime rates, it looks even better.
I seriously doubt many atheists (myself included) would consider themselves socially conservative as most of the reasoning behind social conservatism is religious in nature but you may find a few atheists that are economically "conservative"/libertarian. The majority however, are likely secular humanists which are more often than not, liberal socially and economically speaking.
