  1. Open the podbay doors, Hal. on Space Station Slowly Falling Apart? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm sorry Dave, I can not do that. It fell off already.

  2. More information in the press on NASA to Reconsider Hubble Decision · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Here are a coulpe links to articles:

    From today's NY Times:

    NASA Chief Affirms Stand on Canceling Hubble Mission

    Also,
    O'Keefe has sent a second letter (dated Jan. 28) to Senator Mikulski.

  3. Re:Worthless on A Glance At 24 Keyboards & Mice · · Score: 1

    I have an iGesture mini-keyboard. I mainly use it as mouse on my laptop. I swear by it. There was a short learning curve, but it is very natural to use. Editing files is very easy, simple gestures to cut/paste text. Using the GestureEditor, I added my own gestures to tell KDevelop to compile and execute. Editing photos via the Gimp is also easy.

  4. Re:Lexmark inkjets and Epson inkjets on Printer Makers' Ploys · · Score: 2, Informative

    I will second the comment about Epson Inkjet. I have a Photo 785EX and had no problem getting my Linux box to talk to it, via CUPS and gimp-print. And the quality is phenomonial. Most people can not tell the borderless 4x6in prints are NOT photo prints.

  5. Lack of sales != Dead on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1

    Not sure one can compare closed-source sales driven software with open-source software. Sure, some folks (Redhat) might have a hard time of it with lack of sales. The true believers are not making decisions about developing and using Linux based solely on financial outlooks. Our need and want for good software tools is going to continue to drive the open source movement; regardless of the other 94% of the desktops are.

  6. Re:Link to a postscript file? on Text-Mining Your E-mail · · Score: 1

    -rw-r--r-- 1 phillips cmb 181384 Apr 24 14:59 bhs.ps.gz

    And the winner is...gzipped postscript, which needn't be ungzipped before viewing.

  7. Here is a mirror on NaN Closes Shop, The End of Blender? · · Score: 1

    I just set up a mirror based on the 2.14 release (from the Texture CD NaN sold). This has versions for all platforms they supported at that time (no OSX).
    Also the 2.23 Solaris release is there. Later this evening I will include the 2.23 Linux version I have at home.

    I just checked and the "The Official Blender 2.0 Guide" is in stock here.

  8. Group canceled that cover on More WTC News · · Score: 4, Informative

    As reported in today's WashPost Style Section, The Coup has changed the artwork.

  9. Re:Blender Question on The Blender Book · · Score: 2

    If you consider dxf useful, then "Yes". Also, there are export python scripts to create RenderMan and POV files.

  10. Re:Too bad on The Blender Book · · Score: 1

    In fact, see the post from Ton Roosendaal, Creative and Technical Director: Here
