  1. Re:So what was he *really* standing in front of? on AP Suspends DoD Over Altered US Army Photo · · Score: 1

    I did not see this as an issue. The Occamist in me told me right away that the picture on the left has simply been scaled down from the original high-res (presumably on file somewhere in Pentagon).

    They are too similar in my opinion to be two different photos of the "same pose".

  2. Reading comprehension on Most of Woolly Mammoth Genome Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else read "reconstructed from the hair of their balls" ?

  3. Re:Guaranteed success on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 1

    No, trust *me*, this can seriously backfire on you.

  4. Re:A stupid question, but I need to ask... on Modern LaTeX Replacement? · · Score: 1

    They can, but with today's tools it is simply much much harder.

  5. Re:Misunderrtanding the problem set on Modern LaTeX Replacement? · · Score: 1

    So could LaTeX be retrofitted to use TrueType for everything

    Actually, something like that has been done already:
    XeTeX

  6. Re:Hmm on How Microsoft Takes a Name · · Score: 1

    > Well, what rubs me the wrong way is that "Windows" is trademarked.

    Not everyone speaks English as their primary language, heck, more than half the world doesn't even speak English at all.

    To many them (including me), the word "Windows" causes the brain to pop up "a computer operating system" before anything else.

    The concept of "woman" is way more basic to us humans than "windows", so should http://www.konaworld.com/ note be allowed to register "Kona" as an international trademark because "Kona" means "Woman" in Icelandic?

  7. What about Gizmo on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Skype is currently the only provider to allow calls to landlines and cellphones

    What about the Gizmo project, which I believe I first saw mentioned right here on /.

  8. Re:How typical. on Open Source Politics - Maintaining Your Vision? · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree with you more on this. It's posts/threads like this one that I find most interesting and helpful, because it gives you a perspective of what others do, instead of doing thins your way or no way.
