> Their latest Atom processors are already better than Arms. Source? Every review I've seen says they still struggle to beat ARM on power/performance/price. I've absolutely not heard that their mobile chips are "better" by any margin.

The URLs are all variable size (do not truncate) and the "Browse more" content follows the variable length url. This means the Browse More section does not follow any pattern and just appears at the end of each link. Because of this, every

I like the idea but I dislike the design of the quotes themselves. All the same type and all the same size, the only differentiation being color. Even the format seems "weak" in that there are no lines or anchors for my eye to follow and ev

I'm a bit surprised that people find this new or interesting. Many sites have played the "dozens of links inward" game for some time. Almost every business site will provide links for every business or stock mentioned, all heading inward in

Are we saying that there is no way to prevent power from going backwards back to the utility? I figured what you generated went directly to your storage system, you drew from your storage system OR the grid, or some third part intelligently

by criley 13y ago
Yes! But in that paradigm, where you generate 80%+ of your needed energy and rely on the grid for the rest, how does that affect the utility? The only difference to them is that you draw less power than you used to. Sure, it would benefit t

The webplayer seems to take more memory in total and offer a still significantly worse UI than the desktop counterpart. I'm not impressed yet, and I know that better web experiences can be delivered. However, now that I see this webplayer a

The question is, does the policy prevent highly trained testing staff who are willing to donate their time to developers for free from helping developers (but for their own reasons wish to remain anonymous). It's a trade off, and real name
