  1. Re:Not really, no on Ancient Nubians Drank Antibiotic-Laced Beer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The cool thing to me is that they found a consistent use of anti-biotic laced grain that held up through the brewing process. I wonder how this would effect societies. If one group had children growing up with less infections and sickness, would they have more children reaching adulthood? Would these people end up growing up taller/stronger? I wonder how many early empires got their start do to something weird like this?

    There was that guy who had cancer of the throat and couldn't drink. He started taking booze from the other end and apparently, that's not too good for you.

    Heh. I still have a TI 99/4A in storage (in original box with manuals), on top of my tub of old SCSI cables. Daughter's just getting in to Lego Mindstorms so now might be a good time to bring out the TI and introduce basic and assembler to her. And maybe strip out the internals of that LaCie Joule drive tower and set it up for SATA drives. Love the industrial design from back then.

  19. Re:Wait for Google then... on Throwing Out Software That Works · · Score: 1

    If a boatload of people are buying iPads, it's because they're too stupid to know they can't install Linux on it and are all concerned with how cool they look hanging out at Star Bucks, with their flat driving caps and penny farthings and round wire frame glasses. All of them. Every last one. Stupid and vein. And if someone on Slashdot says they bought one, they're obviously not a real geek and should be barred from ever running GCC again!
