  1. It means (for GC & IN) on Condor Chick Born In Wild · · Score: 1

    That perhaps the mother is better @ telling which children have the best chance @ survival. "...the chick from the third egg was killed right after hatching last year by the same female mothering the latest chick..."

    Think Greeks throwing defective children off cliffs. It was barbaric, but people of Greek descent are some of the toughest people I know. The condors could be doing the same thing.

  2. Asus Makes boards with 6 usb ports on Abit's New Motherboard Lays On The Ports · · Score: 1

    It seems for the past year, Asus has been offering 6 usb ports on their top boards.

    Also 6 IDE? The current generation IDE drives (IBM/Maxtor) don't have the best track record. If I've enough data to put 10 spindles turning(minus 2 for removable media) I'll go scsi!

  3. "Physical" Mutation? on Thumbs Are the New Fingers for GameBoy Youth · · Score: 1

    This is complete hog wash. I suppose if I learned to type my use of all my fingers to press keys would also be considered a physical mutation. Is this what passes for news? It's Crap!!

  4. I don't think there's a big problem on The Widening Tech-Savvy Gap · · Score: 1

    All bad trends will eventually turn around
    All good trends will continue indefinitly

    It's like asking particle physicists to dumb down the math to the level of the average person.
    It shouldn't happen
    And it WONT.
    Let them catch up!

  5. Sail on Marine-proofing a Computer · · Score: 1

    They have some pretty good articles on proofing computers. One family uses a laptop, when not on they keep it in a vaccum bag. Each time they get back from a cruise they run it through diagnostics, replace parts with any corrosion etc etc.

    I code on the boat. My advice:just keep it dry. AND SECURE IT!!! Nothing like a 50k gust to throw the thing from one side of the cabin to the other.

  6. Re:Oh man... on Exploding Star May Have Damaged Life on Earth · · Score: 1

    A crappy blue Chevy Nova.

  7. Re:It's called "Perspective" on Are The Benefits Of Technology Waning? · · Score: 1

    WORD!!! It is difficult to compare todays inventions with yesterdays. Compare the plow to the lightbulb for that matter. Eating and not vs. light and dark.... which is more significant? And, which one has had more time to prolifigate? This article is a trip down "half thought out idea" lane.
