  1. Re:Friday isn't all that bad on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    True, but many of the scientists I know still have the lab coat and clipboard. The glasses are however more stylish.

  2. Re:Friday isn't all that bad on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, just a hunch, but the typical Sci-Fi audience member, is not doing a whole lot on a Friday night that doesn't include painting figurines or rolling dice.

  3. Re:Duh, what's new? They're Fox on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems this would be a good opportunity for some bright young exec to step up and run with some succesful shows that are already in place, and get himself some recognition as the guy who didn't kill the good shows. But then, we don't have time for rational solutions.

  4. Always good on Implant Raises Cellular Army To Attack Cancer · · Score: 1

    to see progress on fighting cancer.

  5. Pretty spiffy on Rainforest Fungus Synthesizes Diesel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    if you ask me. I hope we are smart and research more ways to provide energy, and don't just hop on another band wagon technology.

  6. Re:free market? on Sony Paid Warner Bros. $400 Million to Go Blu-Ray? · · Score: 1

    I honestly don't see how this story in anyway says anything negative about an unregulated freemarket.

  7. Thanks on Best Way to Build a Searchable Document Index? · · Score: 1

    I appreciate all the input, and am reviewing many of the different solutions mentioned.

  8. Re:Meta tags are worthless, generally on Best Way to Build a Searchable Document Index? · · Score: 1

    Well the users would be us IT folks, and if we can't trust ourselves to put the Meta Data in the docs, then we have bigger problems.

    The number of documents is roughly 9000. Most of the documents are 1-100k, but some get a bit heavier. By input I'm assuming you mean the files to be indexed, which would be multiple formats, including but not limited to HTML, Word, RTF, Excel, PDF. As far as other search tools, we use the standard MS stuff mostly. I have no budget. We've looked at sharepoint, but it's a bit clunky for what we're doing here. The only solution I have looked at so far has been MS Desktop Search, but I'm an advocate of using OSS whenever possible.

  9. Re:use a Wiki instead on Best Way to Build a Searchable Document Index? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I've been trying to sell them on the Wiki route, I like TiddlyWiki myself, but it's been shot down.

  10. XP Works on Microsoft Extends XP's Life By 6 Months · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Plain and simple. I'm no big fan of MS, but XP is really a decent piece. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

  11. Re:Law? on End of Moore's Law in 10-15 years? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't really make it a law, but that is what normally happens. The law of gravity, just a theory. The laws of physics, theories really.

  12. I for one. . . on USB 3 in 2008, 10 Times as Fast · · Score: 1

    welcome our new fiber optically aided Over Lords.

  13. Re:Oklahoma - Bastion of sense in the Union on Oklahoma Game Law Permanently Enjoined · · Score: 1

    Edge? We're the stinkin buckle.

  14. Seems to me on Major Publishers Avoid E For All Expo · · Score: 1

    Nintendo and EA are two of the biggest forces in the gaming industry anyway, so the fact that they're attending should be bigger news than the lesser players not attending.

  15. What I don't understand. . . on Wal-Mart Ditches DRM, Keeps Censorship · · Score: 1

    They censor the music obviously to appeal to the Christian Right. Yet, they have quit selling all but blackpowder firearms, a move that pisses off the Christian Right. I don't get it.
