  1. MS Licensing will have an impact on Small Business on What Should a Community Computer Lab Offer? · · Score: 1

    Being perfectly serious here.

    A friend of mine is involved in a similar project in a rural part of the UK. The predict that once XP-style licensing (and it gets worse in Longhorn) is unavoidable for Windows users, then most small business will start having to use non-MS systems.

    The average small business cannot afford legal MS software. If MS make piracy impossible, small business will have to find alternatives. Why not get in early: "Running a Small Business Cheaper with Free Software" would be a good title

  2. This is not new on GPS Used To Monitor Continental Drift · · Score: 2, Informative

    I remember an in-depth discussion of the tilting effect on the Open University in the late '80s.

  3. old old old news on Microsoft Orange SPV Phone Review · · Score: 1

    This phone has been out for months in Europe, and has been universally panned. It's basically non-functional as a phone, the early versions of the firmware crash every other incoming call, the vaunted features are chrome upon chrome while it lacks even basic functionality. It's a dog, and MS have proved it by failing to meet even a fraction of their ship targets. Steer clear.

  4. Re:I thought this was old news! on Bismuth No Longer the Heaviest Stable Element · · Score: 1

    > Pb-208 will definitely have a longer half life than Bi-209. Determining the half life of Pb 208 is going to be hard.

  5. Re:Large detective work ahead on 200GeV Collisions at RHIC · · Score: 1

    The point which will, of course, be missed out of the coverage is that 200GeV is above the maximal Higgs mass predicted by supersymmetry© That's right, folks, if this collider can't find a Higgs, that means SUSY is just plain Wrong© But try getting any theorist who believes ¥always a bad trait for a scientist in supersymmetry to even admit the possibility©©©
