So... you're saying that when noone captures your bodyheat, you don't generate any? I really really don't see the logic here. Why on earth are you assuming that people don't lose bodyheat? Why the word 'drain'? Its not a heatdrain, its using excess heat and transfering to another building. damn you slashdot for modding this shoddy logic 'insightful'

Submission + - Linux on Microsoft Surface: What are the odds? (paritynews.com) 3

Submitted by hypnosec on Sunday December 30, 2012 @05:02AM

hypnosec writes: With Linux enthusiasts and distro publishers eagerly waiting for a solution to Microsoft’s UEFI SecureBoot, there are those who have already looked at the viability of Linux on Microsoft Surface tablet. Matthew Garrett, a.k.a. UEFI-guru, has revealed that those who are keeping their fingers crossed and hoping to find run Linux on Microsoft’s tablet are on an uphill walk and it doesn’t seem to be an easy one. So why is this? The answer is in the manner in which Microsoft has restricted the Surface from loading non-signed software / binaries by implementing UEFI SecureBoot. Microsoft has loaded its private key instead of the "Microsoft Windows UEFI Driver Publisher" key on the ARM based tablet, which is needed to sign non-Microsoft software like Linux distributions or loaders. So, no publisher key = no signed non-Microsoft binary = no Linux.

Stay away from js, it won't help you learn jack shit except weird, nitpicky syntax ;P Go for python, focus on the programming concepts and try to learn a few frameworks, as they are integral to modern programming concepts. Once these concepts are solidified, any modern programming language will basically just be about different syntax and api. Python should be chosen for its easy of readability, which is exactly why js should NOT be chosen. By all means, if you find a language that is as concise and easy to read as python, please let me know =)
