    Well, it's obvious, we should just make people eat better!

    Duh. ;^)

  2. Re:"the SQL programming language" on Sneak Peek at IBM 'Viper' DB2 Release · · Score: 1

    How about GNUSQL? (Pronounced "New School")

    GNUSQL's Not an Un-Structured Query Language :^)

    Actually, they prefer to be called "British" (or somesuch... ;^)

  4. A couple of points: on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain that Jesus never claimed to do miracles -- the witnesses to his actions did. In fact quite often he reportedly told those that he helped to _not_ tell anyone else about it.

    None of those witnesses ever claimed that he produced fish out of thin air.

    By the way, the persecution you were looking for via negative mods hasn't happened yet. :^)

    If you'd like to check out the ozone levels for yourself, click on my URL. It will connect you to a computer down the hall from me that will happily graph up data from sites around the US and world.

    Hmmm... Perhaps you need to update your Virex.

    Mine, v7.5, did find it and offer to clean it.

  7. Re:If you're already 20/20 .... on Experiences with Laser Eye Surgery? · · Score: 1

    There is pressure put on the eye when they immobilize it. This can, theoretically, cause retinal detachment.

  8. Re:Initial Costs on AgroWaste Oil Plant Starts Production · · Score: 1

    It is VERY likely that these will spring up in many places. One of the benefits is that these plants can be built next to the source of bio-waste and be engineered specifically to the types of waste to be processed.

    When I first heard of this a year or two ago, I was struck by the name Buffett in the article. Warren Buffett's (in the top 5(?) richest men in the world) son, Howard, was said to be a large investor and is now on the board of directors of RES.

    By the way, they are not looking for investors. :^/

    If you check apple.slashdot.org, you'll find a discussion of XGrid Technology Preview 2 - still a low bandwidth discussion. :^)

    Windows Debugging Steps:

    ;^) Black is not a color, it is the lack of it.

  15. Free Space "needed" on Mac OS X 10.2.5 Update Available · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It might just be me... But Software Update told me that I needed "499MB" of free space to do the installation.

    I started cleaning out some chaff from the disk and wasn't finding enough, so I started digging around in the internals of the .pkg (looking for the Perl script that checks such things) - to no avail.

    So... After downloading it to the Desktop and starting it up, it tells me that I only need "163MB" of space.

    Cool. On I go.

  17. fixing the little things, too... on Mac OS X 10.2.4 Is Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, but...

    Before I got even partially through booting up, I knew that Apple had fixed a very annoying LITTLE problem they'd introduced with 10.2.3 -- the monitor geometry of my iMac rev A would get lost upon reboot and I'd have to stretch, move, and rotate (slightly) it to my taste.

    Now it remembers! I'm sure that very few people have this problem, as it didn't happen on my G4 at home, but it's nice to see that they're keeping up with some of the little things, too. :^)

    I think they make good APPLE.slashdot.org material. If it's really hot, then it gets moved over to the main page. Not a problem.

    If, as you say, Jesus, Allah, or whatever "happened." Then:

    • At lease some the religious of the world are right.

    • You're wrong.
    • You're not even looking, clueless, and Anonymous. ;^)

    Think about it... Or would you like to deny that "shit happens..."

    I don't think that it's in error or out of line - Apple did release a server with AIX installed a few years ago.
