  1. Power outages ? on Barcode-Controlled Home? · · Score: 2

    What's about power outages ? Let's say, are you going to be alone, signing in the rain along with lightnings?

  2. Re:Schweet! on Microsoft to Buy Rational and/or Borland? · · Score: 2

    Isn't it Visual~1.Net ?

  3. Re:YMMV ? on MSNBC: Offices Remain Spam Free Zones · · Score: 2
    For those clueless like me, "Your Mileage May Vary"... Acronyms getting out of control...

    Then, The Jargon Lexicon is for you !

  4. This is the last Phoenix on Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived · · Score: 3, Informative
    As it's said on http://mozillazine.org/ :


    0.5 will be the last release to be called Phoenix. Version 0.6, expected in January, will have a new name. And they really mean it this time.

  5. Now imagine... on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now imagine if the taxi driver is listening to Metallica...

  6. Re:Metrics on Europe Goes To Venus; Mars Comes to Us · · Score: 1

    Just like the Anonymous Coward said above, 1 mile is 1,609344 km. That's a difference of 0,009344 km for every km. Over a small distance, say from you to your neighbor, the difference is not quite important. But in this case we work with stuff in space, the distances are huge and that little difference would for sure cause the probe to miss its target.

  7. A skateboard ! on Skateboarding AIBO · · Score: 3, Funny

    Today, a skateboard. Tomorrow, whay about a Segway ?

  8. Duh on Boeing Bird of Prey Stealth Fighter · · Score: 0, Redundant

  11. Help me, I'm lost... on Microsoft Buys Rare · · Score: 1

    I mean, does Micro$oft is now a software compagny ? or a computer hardware compagny ? or a gaming console compagny ? Something else ? A lawyer bureau mabye ? Or a we-sell-all-things-possible-to-make-a-big-monopoly compagny ? So, anyone ? Please, because I'm lost right now...

  12. UnrealEd support too ? on UT2003 Gone Gold, Ships with Linux Support · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone have some informationss regarding a Linux version of UnrealEd 3.0 on the final release ? It would be cool if we can both play and map !

  13. Re:Finally on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 1

    According to this page and this one, it uses the Celeron. Well, mabye they used the PIIIs at first, then switched to Celerons later to keep the price very low. That's a possibility. Or mabye they used a P3 with the cache reduced (isn't that a Celeron anyway ?)...

  14. Re:Finally on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pentium III ? More likely Celery^Hon according to this screenshot...

  23. My opinion is on Does Open Source Software Really Work? · · Score: 1

    If you start with the attitude that it won't work, well it will not work. But if you try, chances are that it would work very well. So why say "Drop all that now, anyway it won't work, so don't lose your time." ?
