  1. Re:Many similar articles, but not one answers this on The CPU: From Conception to Birth · · Score: 1

    A saw, called a dicing saw. It is just a plain circular saw with very high precision, not just in the lateral direction, but also in the horisontal, to allow precise cuts partially through a wafer.

  2. Re:Ambulance drivers don't go full speed on Traffic Light Control For The Masses · · Score: 1

    That sounds incredibly dangerous to have 4 cars speeding through traffic repeatedly.

    In Denmark it is normally 2 police motorcycles(or more in rare cases) doing that. Much more flexible in tight traffic and works very well.

  3. Re:Pffffft. on Mozilla's Joy Of Naming · · Score: 1



    Another cool one would be "Kashmir" (guess which band I like ;)



    Would that be the Danish band Kashmir by any chance?

  4. Re:The problem with filters on Spam Catchers Block Latest Crypto-Gram · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well guess I only get spam from non-professional spammers then. I run spamassassin on my server and almost never get any spam into my Inbox. I get maybe 5-10 spams a day and they all get tagged by spamassassin and procmail filtered into a folder where I check them for false positives before deleting. The only false positives I get is a news letter from the airline KLM, for which I am too lazy to set up a procmail filter since I never read it anyway.

    I have filters for all my mailing lists and so forth in my .procmailrc and then the spamassassin filter at the end. Works like a charm for me.

  5. Re:This just in. Denmark part of Axis of Evil on All schools In Denmark switching to Linux · · Score: 1

    Denmark, whose main exports include those silly little wooden shoes and tulips, was unavailable for comment.

    Hummm, I think you have Denmark confused with Holland, we (yes I am Danish) do not export very many tulips...

  6. Re:Know what's funny? on Do Cell Phones Make Us Stupid? · · Score: 1

    So? I own a cell phone and will happily say nasty things about ill-mannered cell phone users. I try hard to follow the "rules" of civil cell phobe handling (turning it off at meetings, at the movies, in class etc...), and nothon annoys me more than some body yammering away about nothing for a long time...

    Just because you own one, you should not be prevented from demanding that others behave sensibly and polite, provided you do so yourself...

  7. Re:Worth waiting for... on Debian May 1 Release Delayed · · Score: 1

    That is correct, Woody is at the moment the "Testing" branch, which then becomes the "Stable" branch when it is released.

  8. Re:Canned response to English instructor: on Turnitin.com - Placebo for Plagiarism or Worse? · · Score: 1
    It is even possible to self-plagarize (this happens a lot in scientific circles) by claiming the same work is new in two different places. Students who insert sections of a highschool report they wrote into their freshman college paper are guilty of this.

    Wouldnt that only be the case if you forgot to reference it? Ie if you make a reference to your own paper it is legitimate?

  9. Re:Linux 1, Windows 100 on Linux Win In Schools · · Score: 1

    Maybe so, but it is stille better than:

    Linux: 0
    Windows: 101

    if you want the move away from Windows.

    What you learn in school is IMHO very important. When I was i high school I was taught WordPerfect(5.1). I kept to WordPerfect instead of using Word like everybody else, until I discovered and moved to LaTeX. Every single kid coming away from school knowing Linux instead of Windows is a bonus...

  10. Re:Anything else? on Loaded, Low Mileage, Very Clean, A/C, Sunroof · · Score: 1

    I remember a site about converting a plane to a home posted here on /. a while back. It is located at:

    http://www.airplanehome.com/

    Some of it is sadly broken but the main parts of the site are fully operational.

  11. Re:Don't they exist? on Baby Black Hole With Big Appetite · · Score: 1

    I would start with "A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking. It covers lot more than just black holes but is well worh the read. No math at all and only 1 equation in all of it.
