  1. Re:'Robot' not Asimov. on Science Fiction into Science Fact? · · Score: 1


    I believe Asimov took credit for inventing the word 'Robotics'.

    In one book I read many years ago he went on about it at great lenghth.

    He was anoyingly proud of his 'invention'.

  2. Re:Reminds me of my users on GNOME Usability Study Report · · Score: 1

    As a long time windows/dos user it took me MONTHS to figure out the UNIX file structure on my Sun box at work.

    It was not obvious that my home directory was on the network, /tmp only existed in memory and /etc and /bin were on the local computer hard drive.

    I agree that the DOS drive letters are stupid (and not being able re-asighn them is even stupider) but I don't think unix/linux is any more obvious.

  3. Re:MPAA can't do anything on Ogle Does CSS and DVD Menus · · Score: 1

    Why is this one liner "Score:3,Insightful?"

    In what way is Sweden neutral?

    What does that neutrality have to do with the MPAA?

    Are you confused between Sweden and Switzerland? Switzerland is militarily neutral, but that has nothing to do with this discussion. I'm sure both Sweden and Switzerland participate in international copyright and patent agreements.

    If the MPAA can go after someone in Norway, they can probably go after someone in Sweden too.
