  1. Speed on Researchers Grow a Brain In a Dish · · Score: 1

    "Do not ATTEMPT to GROW A BRAIN, Jack."

  2. Web 2.0 indeed on Should the Computer Science Guy Be CEO? · · Score: 1

    Questions like these prove we're in another bubble.

  3. Also SocksCap on SSH Tunnels How-to? · · Score: 1

    I too have followed the putty-as-socks-proxy route described by others.

    For enabling stuff like iTunes, which doesn't know from SOCKS, try SocksCap.

    Finally, I used to have a filter on my work machine's Outlook that would run a program when a message with a particular subject came in from me--the program would ssh-tunnel back to my home machine thus enabling me to log in to work from home, but also establishing the connection only when I wanted it.

  4. What department? on Major Hangups Over the iPod Phone · · Score: 1

    What department is this story from? Or is the headline enough of a groaner?

  5. Software is licensed, not sold on Software Transferability? (or the lack of it) · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I'm not arguing that this is correct, but strictly speaking software is licensed, not sold. That means you don't own it. If you don't own it, you can't sell or resell it.

    To take an example from another arena: if I write to one of the media syndicates and get permission to use a Peanuts cartoon in some publication I'm working on, I can't then grant others access to use that cartoon, because I don't own it.

    Again, I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this particular way that people use/buy/license software.

  6. Where to donate blood in Mass.? on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hi; I've never posted here and I've never given blood either, but I need to do both. Can someone please post where in the Worcester-Acton-Littleton-Marlborough, MA (USA) area I can donate blood? http://www.newenglandblood.org is down.
