Should become nice and warm, I hope! ;)

Judging from the author's names and affiliation, I quite doubt that it was their main motivation... :)

But, it's still VERY COOL!

I think it was in the news recently, a lot, but not for their Linux contributions...

Though, maybe those were referenced too, along with some other contribs to MS, standards organisations, etc.

If anything, I am sure that someone is giving close and fresh look into SElinux parts right now...

Paul B.

Well, no!

Not if you are talking about temperature measured in degrees C vs. F vs. K!

Agreed with the rest of your comment though...

If my cell phone can transmit 30 times farther, I'm guessing that the power will drain from the battery 30 times faster.

Assuming that your cellphone transmit unidirectionally (as it's natural for a cellphone to do!), is not getting 30 times the 'r' requires 'r^2' more power, i.e., your battery will drain 900 times faster? ;-)

Paul B.

No, it does not -- the site is already /.ed, at 4 comments into this discussion... ;-)

Why the heck Apple has OS-X and no BSD inside stickers, for many years now? ;-)

But, 1/32 of an inch is represented *exactly* in binary (0.00001) as opposed to its value in mm (0.11001011001100110011001101), where one little bit past wordlength might, indeed, die... ;-)

A Beowolf clusted of these! :)

In the context of this article, I misread your last words as "and reigniting our leaders", which might be appropriate too! ;-)

But, I am cheering for General Fusion anyway! http://www.generalfusion.com/

Good idea!

Now, let's try to implement it... I suggest to start with Lenovo laptops, and we only need to outsource USB dongle and exploding battery production somewhere, I suggest China, they have experience mass-producing thing!

Wait! All your matching parts (laptop, dongle, battery) are made where? In... China? ;-)

Paul B.

Good job! ;-)

I liked ATDT5551212 touch... Feeling nostalgic today, I'd guess...

... I think made by Citrix, and it "runs" in your browser, but I would not really recommend it to anyone. Total steaming POS...

The maskhouse we deal with uses(d) that for customers to verify that the layers are what they expect. The program they run on the other end is something from Apollo workstations era, window manager in that session was TWM (we are talking now, a decade into 21st centiry! :) ), and it was slower than when I first tried running X over dial-up modem in 90s, without compression... ;-)

So, I am not having high hopes about useability of X11-over-HTTP, but who knows...

Vim demo was impressive through!

Paul B.

Was suprised...
