I shudder every time I see a blackhole related story on slashdot, it always reveals the incredible lack of scientific knowledge and/or critical thinking skills possessed by the average slashbot
You could actually be on to something there - sounds damn fun, first actually useful idea for games on a cellphone I've heard
To extend it - I'd rather have it as virtual environment googles or helmet with surround sound that you could use to overlay virtual object (trolls ? the aforementioned orb) on the real world - sort of a VR HUD, that would be cool.
Imagine the fun you could RPG'ing in an empty carpark building with that.
Yet the Israelis, who blow up Palestinian babies and other non-combatants far more efficently and in greater numbers than the Palestinians, you think they are not terrorists ?
Thats right, I forgot - they're government sanctioned, so its OK.
Install a nice linux desktop with Evolution/KMail + any browser and everything will be at least as integrated as on Windows.
Done it - bullshit. Latest everything on gnome/kde is nowwhere near as integrated or consistant as windows.
Having said that - I still prefer KDE to windows despite the quirks because it is transparent, and some things are just plain great, KDevelop is a joy to use compared to DevStudio, which used to be my favourite IDE.
Poll: 75% of Palestinians support Haifa restaurant attack: Respond or Ignore! Don't mod down.
Well in recent polls 80% of israelis support bombing the crap out of the palestinians, not to mention the punitive closures, bulldozing, destruction of farmland, and checkpoints.
Also 50% of israelis support ejecting the palestinians from palestine - ethnic cleansing. Thats also the offical position of the religious nutcase faction of the ruling government
if you look at Microsoft's profits year to year, they tend to have profits primarily in only one sector: the OS. Office is the only other sector that has any net profits, but it's a DISTANT second.
Uh - wrong way round - Office is *THE* big revenue stream for MS, the Operating Systems are definatly running into diminishing returns
The author isn't very knowledgable. Quota's for email can be implemented without breaking existng email clients. SMTP allows Authentication via certificates to be layered on top or, most email clients allow SMTP send with authentication.
asked a few people involved in solving the problems of e-mail what would be involved in fixing it. This put them in an awkward position of conflict; after all, spam-filtering vendors and other security companies make their living because these problems exist
Bollocks - the mail guru's who maintain this stuff are mostly volunteers and are not interested in making money off spam/protection. Thats an insult to them.
Ranking of the world's countries by 1999 total CO2 emissions
from fossil-fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring.
That specifically excludes the largest source of greenhouse gasses - domestic animal farts, aka "methane", of which India & china are huge sources.
Its a such a significant problem that New Zealand is considering a genetically engineered bacteria that lives in a cow or sheeps gut that will reduce methane production by 30% - this pretty much covers New Zelands Koyoto commitments.
I wonder how the green party (part of the government in kiwi land) will cope with that ?
- reducing greenhouse gasses good...
- GM bad...
- Baaa! baaa !
They'll probably go with "GM Baaaad...", logical thinking and compromise is not their strong point
I love the way New Zealand is now part of australia, also a pity there's no pics of NZ, there's some great scenery there, and an overview of middleeart would have been great.

Step two - consider the difference between the various types of radiation emitted by the sun vs singualr type of enery (radio) emitted by am stations.
Step three - consider humans have evolved under the suns radiation
Step four - avoid clueless kneejerk reactions in future

Did you even read the frigging title of the article, let alone the article itself ?
They want low cost, low maintenance library terminals and are wondering if linux terminal servers are the way to go.
They do not want a office workstation.
Thats because no one uses open office
Cool - so Al Queda (spelling I know) is right to target you for your governments actions
I was a farm kid in the South Island so ROFL ! - No.8 wire, that brings back some memories.
If it can't be fixed with No.8 mate, it can't be fixed.
But also - remember the quote "Extraodinary claims require extraodinary proof".
I've seen no proof, even ordinary "proof" for the existance of a god, therefore I'm disinclined to believe in it.

No no no - sheep shagging is *New Zealand*, you're thinking of Kangoroo shagging

Arabs do not practice circumcision, its mainly a Jewish and American practice.
