  2. kde on Corporate KDE · · Score: 2, Interesting

    3.1 was very nice. Kplan looks good. But for the love of god could they please drop the name "Kroupware". Its too bad Magellan and what ever that offshoot program was didnt work out the way it was planned. KDE really need evolution. Kplan looks like it might work if only we didnt kmailcool. Yes i know Kmail is mess but why do they expect us to download another app which does the exact same thing?

  8. Re:NEBS Certification on UnitedLinux Pushes Into Telecom Market · · Score: 1
    There are very tough requirements about things a circuit board must not outgas when heated (eg, by a fire). Many of the outgas products from heating a board made with standard fiberglass and epoxy are highly toxic. This is dangerous for central office craftpeople who are expected to be trying to extinguish the fire without the benefit of the kind of breathing equipment a fireman would normally be using.
    not just boards, people who out gas are also disliked in the office place by those without a fireman's breathing equipment

  17. Dolls on Virtual Simerica · · Score: 5, Interesting

    how is this any differnt from a little girl playing with dolls. As the article says it is a game mostly playe dby girls. I personally have never played nor know anyone who does. (WHY???WHY would you want to do mundaner chores? ) However, from the description, it no differnt from the fantasy world we live in wen we play with dolls and action figures. Except in this case you can play with millions of other people that you dont know and not just the girls from school or the neightborhood.
    I cant understand why it is such a big hit but i see nothing special in the fact that it is. I also dont derive any meaning from that .. If you do then it is no differnt than saying that FF teaches you magic and Doom teaches you to kill/shoot.
    just my $.02
