  1. Re:Negroponte is upping the ante on Negroponte Offers OLPC Technology For India's $35 Tablet · · Score: 1

    India is trolling - it can announce $35 tablets, even $0.00 tablets, but it sure as hell can't make any for that price. The components alone cost more than $35, and that's when China makes them with slaves paid less than India will pay.

    A lot of cheap Indian made components combined with the cheap and/or free workforce of India -- they can certainly get closer to $35 than almost anyone else.

  2. Title a bit misleading? on Crater From 1908 Tunguska Blast Found · · Score: 1

    It doesn't say that they've found the crater. They _think_ they've found it, which is quite a different thing. But haven't other expeditions claimed to have found it or debris from it as well?

  3. Re:Great. on Hans Reiser Interview on ABC's 20/20 · · Score: 1

    So, what? You saying that most nerds are guilty (or will be guilty) of something because they are an introverted loner? That makes a lot of sense... Yeah.

    Giving someone the benefit of the doubt has nothing to do with a free pass. It's taking someone's word on something until evidence comes up that disproves what that person said. So far, as I basically said in my original post, I haven't seen anything concrete enough for me to disbelieve Reiser. The article seems to go to lengths to tell us what his defense is in each of the accusations.

  4. Stick by your kind. on Hans Reiser Interview on ABC's 20/20 · · Score: 1

    Meh. From what I've read I'm just slightly off of being in the middle on this issue. What I mean by 'slightly off of being in the middle' is that I lean towards Reiser being not guilty for two reasons. First, the case and 'evidence' are just all over the place. It's all too weird and really doesn't prove much to me. Last, I have this weird notion of sticking to fellow nerds and giving (most) of them the benefit of the doubt. :)

  5. Re:Odd numbers. on Many Antivirus Tools Fail in LinuxWorld Test · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look at the page: http://virus.untangle.com/.

    • For the "Wild + Eicar Catch Rate" it says, "The sample size of this test is 18 (not 25 as some cited)."
    • For the "Overall Catch Rate" it says, "The sample size of this test is 35."
