If you take rosetta out of the equation, CoreDuo will kick the fuck out of a G5 processor. I can't produce the link, but I'm sure I read that a MacBook 2Ghz was holding its own against a G5 Dual PowerMac. What model are you going for? Core2Duo apparently is 25% quicker than the Duos, although I susp...

Cars are only the tip of the iceberg. Plastics are made from oil. Not to mention transporting everything ever produced takes energy. That is correct. What people fail to grasp is the way that the whole system has been built upon oil. The global economy and the currency that flows through it is esse...

It's called Biodiesel. You can produce it locally, don't have to ship it around the globe and the growing it even takes CO2 out of the air. Or you can just use a bicycle. It takes more energy to grow it than it produces. Also, to run a tank of an average SUV, the same amount of crop could feed some...

Good point, but combustion engines are here to stay until it is too late, in my opinion. Especially seeing as there is no effective alternative to petrol. Hydrogen seems a distant and vauge possibility, ethenol carries with it massive problems and is inefficient. Electricity is no good. But then for...

The issue I take with the article is that it over-simplifies the production process and fails to take into account economies of scale. It should be widely known that new technologies are always exspensive to begin with. I'm no engineer but I presume this is because the means of production, like the ...

Well actually, if you think of it, that is entirely the reason why there is so much trouble. Fanatics willing to go to any length for a the basis of an idea.

Re: [OT] I'm off to work in Afghanistan

If you want this war so bad and you are so concerned then why don't you go fight? I mean, I know your not going to get to do it in your countries army, and you can't join ours (not yet at least) but with your real world soldiering skills I am sure you could get a job as a contractor at Blackwater. ...

Myspace is rubbish. I always get obscure German techno lables adding me but that's about it. I bet they don't even listen to my stuff, I know I don't listen to theirs lol. I mainly use it to keep in touch with my friends.

Don't see the need in a book for LIVE, I mean it's hardly difficult to grasp. Moreover, it has such a good user support base in the shape of this forum, any questions I've had have always been answered, not to mention all the stuff in the Tips & Tricks forum.

Well, most people who buy PCs usually just reinstall the OS to get rid of the shit that comes with them. Dells and Viaos are particulary notorious for this, but like I said, it's not a massive problem.
