  1. OS/2 - The T-Shirt on Windows NT Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I still have the T kindly handed out by IBM as we filed into the launch presentation at COMDEX - "OS/2 - up and running not up-and-coming". Tempted to frame it and send it back.

  2. Ancient Light by Mary Gentle? on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Depressing Sci-fi You've Ever Read? · · Score: 1

    Bickering away to an apocalypse with someone actually prepared to press the button. For 99% of the book it seems possible that sense will prevail, and then the light - as in the title - is seen.

  3. Maths is a predictor on CS Profs Debate Role of Math In CS Education · · Score: 1

    After twenty years of recruiting engineers, I find aptitude for maths as the strongest predictor of development ability - the more descriptive degrees don't cut it.

  4. Re:It may suck as a game controller, but... on iFixit Tears Down Microsoft's Kinect For Xbox 360 · · Score: 2, Interesting
