  1. Happy Hanukkah! on Curious NASA Pre-Announcement · · Score: 1, Troll

    "Opportunity had only enough engineering to last 90 days, yet it miraculously has lasted over twenty times that amount!! Happy Hanukkah! Oh yeah, and it found life. Gimel!" --NASA

    "P.S. Send gelt."

  2. Direct Link on Steve Jobs Publishes Some "Thoughts On Flash" · · Score: 2, Informative
  3. http://ask.slashdot.ca on How To Clean Up Incorrect Geolocation Information? · · Score: 1

    B'y you're in a real kerfuffle. You might have better luck posting at http://ask.slashdot.ca/

  5. Re:Zombie ants are cooler on Scientists Create Zombie Cockroaches · · Score: 1

    Another spectacular case of "mind control" is used by the fungus Entomophthora muscae. This bad boy infects house flies, burrows into a specific part of their brain which causes them to seek higher altitudes. The fly eventually ruptures and emits spores. The higher altitude allows the spores to catch the wind and travel to new hosts. Ah, the circle of life.

    Thomas J. Volk has an excellent page about this fungus.

  6. Not by a long shot... on DIY Polling Shows Bush, Kerry Will Win · · Score: 2, Interesting
    These numbers can't be correct by a long shot. I live near D.C. There is no way that Bush is leading 53.73% to 46.27%. An American Research Group poll conducted Sep-13 is showing:

    District of Columbia

    American Research Group (Sep-13)
    Kerry 78%
    Bush 11%
    Nader 6%

    7-11
    Kerry 46.27%
    Bush 53.73%
    Other 0%


    The lesson? Stick with what you do best 7-11. Selling hot 3-day-old rotating meat logs.
  7. So much for "the rule": Outlaw on Nolan Bushnell Condemns Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It seems Mr. Bushnell must have forgot about Outlaw. The only goal in the game is to cap the other human in the dome. No tanks, cars, or planes to worry about at all, just bullets to the brain.

  8. Re:Lose the buzzwords on IEEE1394-based Storage Area Network? · · Score: 1

    SAN? Ok. I know where the area is in a LAN, and WAN. Are we talking about peripherals here? Is my KVM the middle of my MAN (Monitor Area Network)?

    Please someone just try to sell me a SAN.

  9. Re:I am offended on Professional Apache 2.0 · · Score: 1
    From: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/Apache_Web_server. html
    The first version of Apache, based on the NCSA httpd Web server, was developed in 1995. Because it was developed from existing NCSA code plus various patches, it was called a patchy server - hence the name Apache Server.
  10. * Batteries (and hard drive) not included on France to Impose $1/Gigabyte Hard-Drive Tax · · Score: 1

    It seems the result of this would be the total uncoupling of the storage from the device.

    "Yeah I'd like that TiVo*, a 120 gigger, an eight pack of AAA batteries, to go please. Thanks."
