  1. Aren't you fogetting something? on Linux *Won't* Fail on the Desktop? · · Score: 0

    Once again, slashdot completely ignores Gnome. Good work boys. How do you think De Icaza et al. feel when they don't see the word Gnome in a Slashdot article touting linux on the desktop like this?

    ...way to encourage all projects.

  2. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE... on Timothy Ney Hired As Gnome Foundation Director · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm having trouble believing that this Gnome-related story wasn't ended with a "Personally, I use Konqueror..." or "...even though KDE does blah blah....".

    I think this is a first, ladies and gentlemen.

  3. WAIT A SECOND!!!! on Caltech & MIT Urge Wait On Net Voting · · Score: 2

    WTF?!?! I live in __________ (non-US country), where the voting is ALL done by _____________ (either "PAPER" or "PAPYRUS"), where we put ___________ (a mark, usually an "X") beside a ___________ (a shape). It's __________ (adjective), and way better than ANY method you ___________ (adjective) capitalists could come up with!! Oh yeah, we count all the ballots by ___________ (part of the human anatomy) with a ___________ (magnifying device). And we always recount our ballots _____ (integer, from 3 to 50) times. Our population is ONLY _____ (integer, from 2 to 10) times smaller than yours, and we ALWAYS elect our __________ (head of something) without any confusion!!!!
    geez.

  4. well you could always............ on Microsoft Access As A Client For Free Databases? · · Score: 1

    ...quit. or better yet, put up both versions of the thing (one with a perl frontend and one with access) and show him/her the diff. at the same time bet 4 or 5 employees to "beta test" it in fron of him making sure they point out the advantages of web-based. ya never kno.

  5. Re:Wow... on Living-Donor Nerve Transplant · · Score: 1

    When I was born, I was pulled out by my arm. It was a wierd situation to say the least.

    The nerves of a kid at that time are so delicate that they just got torn to shreds.

  6. Wow... on Living-Donor Nerve Transplant · · Score: 2

    Due to an accident at birth, I had extensive nerve damage stemming from the back of my neck down through my left shoulder and arm.
    As a result, my left arm is smaller, and significantly less able than the right one.

    It's hard sometimes to do everyday things, but you get by.

    Now to see that nerve regeneration (or stimulation) may become reality, I feel excited. Hopefully, kids in the future will not have to go through what many have gone through in the past.

    One question, though...

    WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!?!?!?

    hehe
