  1. Thanks! on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    I haven't logged into /. in years but just want to say thanks for your effort.

  2. Programming Ruby Online Edition on Ruby Developer's Guide · · Score: 5, Informative

    Programming Ruby by David Thomas and Andre Hunt is available online and for free at www.rubycentral.com/book/

  3. He's not the only one on Another Space Tourist For Russia · · Score: 2

    They interviewed Mark on the radio here in SA the other day and he said the place is packed with American also training to go into space. So it looks like Dennis Tito won't be the only American forgoing NASA to get into space.

  4. Re:Tesla based Alternate History? on Lightning On Demand · · Score: 1

    There's a book called "The Prestige" by Brit writer Cristopher Priest. It deals with two feuding magicians at the time Tesla was around and in one section the one goes to Tesla to get help with an illusion he's designing (which uses electricity obviously). Anyway the parts with Tesla in his lab are really cool. Check it out!

  5. 2001 on Hilton Studies Feasibility of Space Hotel · · Score: 1
    In the film 2001:aSO I'm sure I saw a Hilton logo in the space station as Heywood Floyd meets the Russian scientists...

    But we haven't reached any of the achievements in 2001:aSO so far (the moon is an empty rock for instance) so I doubt we'll see spave hotels in 2001

  6. jonkatz@well.com??? on The End Of The Amazon Era · · Score: 1

    The more I read of Jon Katz's work the more I can guess he's one of those blithering "neterati" who read their mail from AOL but still put :
    jonkatz@well.com
    at the end of al their emails. Blinded by their own hypocrisy sometimes.
