  1. Re:Odd, unsatisfying conclusion on Neal Stephenson On Rockets and Innovation · · Score: 1

    ...but the ending is odd.

  2. Bombay/Mumbai? on Bombay High Court Rules Astrology To Be a Science · · Score: 3, Informative

    I thought it's called 'Mumbai' now?

    from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_High_Court#History_.26_Premises:
    "Although the name of the city was changed from Bombay to Mumbai in 1995, the Court as an institution did not follow suit and remained as the Bombay High Court."

    Wikipedia doesn't explain why that is so.

    Let's make this a new meme, the similarity of 'Lund' and 'land' beg for it: ...hopes to gain 5% of the market in Lund...

  8. Wake up European Union and other Governments on Working Toward a Universal Power Brick For Laptops · · Score: 1

    Smelling another lawsuit opportunity?

    Really, I had (and continue having) to struggle with the mobile charger situation for years...
    lately, I finally consider buying myself a netbook and now this!

    Good to see lobbying going in proper directions.

  9. Re:May I be the first to say: on 36-Hour Lemmings Port Gets Sony Cease and Desist · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Considering Sony's years old reputation of fuckin' its customers the only ceasing and desisting should be them.
