    Geckeler and Samal are now anxious that other researchers follow up their work. "We want people to repeat it," says Geckeler. "If it's confirmed it will be groundbreaking".

  7. Uh oh. on 9-Track Open Reel Tape Production Ends This Year · · Score: 1

    a lot of financials still use 9-track to report to credit bureaus and the IRS.
    What's really funny is that the IRS is the progressive one when it comes time that you want to enter the 80's and transmit over a BBS. Credit bureaus are a PITA. ask me how I know.

    Don't be silly. When you're a sysadmin and you are in charge of:
    Unix (3-4 flavors)
    WinNT
    Novell
    Cisco and Motorola routers

    And also need to be proficient in 4-5 programming/scripting languages, that no one else on staff knows, you need help.

    This book (I own it) has examples that you can apply to your own systems with minimal modification. Why re-invent the wheel?

    Thanks for the explanation. Even so,
    I still think that using the words "Inherently Noble" was a stupid, stupid move.

    Ok, Hi, average slashdot reader here.

    You're acting like a complete prick.
    Hadn't you noticed that posts critical of slashdot have been getting modded up and (here's the important part) staying up? Your readership, in general, is becoming annoyed with what appears to be a lack of professionalism on the part of /..
    This was ok, and even cool in someways back when it was being run by two guys out of their house.

    Now its just annoying. It's like you're all journalists, who know next to nothing about journalism, and aren't very clever either.

    You'd think with Andover/Va's money a Fact checker could be hired, or a version of spell(1
    ) could be downloaded.

    Now, here are questons that the general readership of slashdot would like to see answered, and you act liked a petulant 12 year old. "You make it suck!"!! How unbelievably enlightening that post was! I am being pummled senseless by the force of your logic, charm and wit! Not to mention your masterful command of the English language!

    At this point I should point out that I like Timothy's work, and that Hemos seems like a nice guy. The rest of you though...

    *sigh*. This post has been edited to be less offensive. Really, no shit.
