  1. Classic? Board Games on 2004 Board Games Gift Guide · · Score: 1

    Well Go has already been mentioned, then of course there is Chess, followed by in no particular order Blackgammon and Dominoes. A curious thing about these is that there is no upper limit on how much you can spend on a really nice set!! Perhaps the lack of ceiling price itself is a usful definition of 'Classic'?

  2. Re:LinuxQuestions wiki ! on GrokDoc Goes Live; All GNU/Linux Newbies Welcome · · Score: 1

    Try going to LinuxQuestions.org > Wiki > Samba. Now ask yourself, how much of what you see is going to be useful to a new user who doesn't speak some dialect of unix/Linux? The emphasis of GROCDOC is on the non-technical new user...

  3. Low Head Hydro on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 1

    Might be a solution. Here are a couple of links:

  4. Re:Presentation is Content! on CSS for the LDP? · · Score: 1

    If that were true then of course dark gray on black would be just as effective as say black on white. Just because you trivialize presentation doesn't change the experience of last 500 or so years of typography and design.

  5. Presentation is Content! on CSS for the LDP? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Only a geek would think these two are seperable.

  6. Re:Little Solace Boise facing Ethics charges on IBM Adds SCO Counterclaim Charging Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Might want to check the connections on your fingers, thats Boies not 'Boise'! one is an asshole the other a city...

  7. Re:Query? on Amazon Hacks For Fun and Money · · Score: 1

    Yes, I wrote a perl app to convert my ISBN's to biblographic database entries ala BibTeX. It handles CDs as well. Try: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=261033

  8. The Consumer? on Cheap Audio Production · · Score: 3, Insightful

    To hell with the consumer, how about the artist?

  9. It's not the keyboard, it's... on Fully-functional Miniature Notebook Planned · · Score: 1

    the price! Its listed as P.A. 'concept'---this must be his concept of users as fools...

  10. Accuracy in print... on Lexmark Invokes DMCA in Toner Suit · · Score: 1
    Eight movie studios wielded it to force 2600 magazine to delete a DVD-descrambling utility...

    I thought the suit was about linking to sites with the code?

  11. Choices... on David Brin On LOTR · · Score: 1

    If it's a choice between David Brin and Joseph Campbell, Campbell wins.

  12. Lack of technical expertise on Ask a Legal Expert How MS Ruling Affects Open Source · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When (other than 'never') will the legal profession (particularly judges) admit that their lack of technical expertise is doing damage to the rest of us?

  13. Reasons why... on Charles Simonyi leaves Microsoft · · Score: 1, Troll

    Given his resume, it seems clear that he would have to start his own company if he wishes to leave Microsoft--no one else would hire him.

  14. Better than spot the fed... on Defcon X - Live in Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    Is spot the RIAA--they have to start somewhere!

    --hsm

  15. Silver Lining? on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Perhaps this will finally force security to the forefront where it belongs. File traders to protect themselves from Hollywood, Hollywood to protect themselves from everyone else...
