  1. Excellent reference by MrNougat · · Score: 1 · on The Curious Incident of Sun in the Night-Time

    I recognized the article title as being a play on The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time , though I don't understand the connection between this story and the book.

    Anyway, it's an excellent read.

  2. eats, shoots and leaves by zxnos · · Score: 2, Funny · on The Pandemic vs. the IT Department
    The H5N1 influenza virus, which originated in Asia, could hit the U.S. this fall, potentially causing an epidemic, the nation's chief avian flu coordinator warned.

    i think homeland security needs to keep an eye on this guy...

  3. Re:Multiple death sentences ... by KMitchell · · Score: 1 · on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs
    Hey, now if someone's sentenced to multiple death sentences, you can kill him, revive him, and kill him all over again.

    One of the best series I've ever read goes into some of the implications of multiple death sentences:

    ...though the "practical" implications aren't really explored until Endymion

  4. Good book by Bonhamme+Richard · · Score: 1 · on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes

    Have you read "The Cuckoo's Egg"? http://mostlyfiction.com/adventure/stoll.htm/ Someone hacked the DoD using this method during the Cold War. It was a pretty good read, even if you're not a CS geek.

  5. Not Cliff, But Clifford by rasjani · · Score: 1 · on Hackers Track Down Banking Fraud
    Btw, its Clifford Stoll, not Cliff =)

  6. Re:Damned good interview by mblase · · Score: 4, Informative · on Neil Gaiman Responds

    Oh, puh-leeze. He's not a writer. He "writes" balloons for silly little drawings, and occassionally whores out his name for some ghost writer on a book.

    Two words: Hugo Award.

    Two more: Nebula Award

  7. Re:School PDA by the+bluebrain · · Score: 3 · on Psion's über-Gadgets

    I still mourn the Newton/eMate.
    The smallest integrated computer which was big enough to act as it's own development environment, and had no legacy issues in the OS. Closest thing to the Sandbender (Idoru). *sigh*
