  1. Re:wow older than I am on UNIX hits the Big Three-Oh · · Score: 1

    After celebrating at the "Big Three-Oh" bash, everyone quickly realized that next week they could celebrate Unix's "Big Oh-Three" market share.

  2. In support on 3D Labs Proposes OpenGL 2.0 To Kick DirectX · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not only is this a worthy cause (eliminating the depenence hardware specific extensions), but I fully support a graphics solution that doesn't have the final say on everything rest with MircoSoft.

  3. Re:"Nifty"??? on Structural Damage to the Financial District · · Score: 1

    I think because of the fact that i know 5000+ were buried in the collapse makes the map nifty. It gives a new visual prespective on the events that occured. It shows that the trajedy was more spread out than the two WTC buildings.

  4. Re:"Nifty"??? on Structural Damage to the Financial District · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    It's nifty because it lets you look to exact what got damaged (and how badly). There was no carnage in the map, just an informative illustration.

  5. Re:Yeah.,. but we have bunker buster missles and.. on Afghanistan Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    Um, yeah. It's good that you can see clearly. Obviously you are upset with the events of september 11. But not to marginalize the severity of what happened, I hope that you, and everyone can actually ask themselves why it happened and why America is responding the way it is. And before you leap and say that they are blood-lusted maniacs... fine the 20 cells of terrorists, that actually are the targets for vengence, most likely are twisted souls acting only to cause havoc. But there are about a billion (not exageratting) people in the world who dislike the USA. Ask yourselves why again. My answer to myself is that the America is one of the most arrogant countries in the world. America is responding with "infinite justice." That scares me just as much as the attacks did. The US could have quite easily had "justice" exacted on themselves for their past attacks. The way the USA acted treated New Zealand for not allowing US subs into their habours was completely absurd. Other things come to mind as well... Hiroshima... Nagaski... Vietnam... The US doesn't seem to realize that people have different views on life. And the "correct" view doesn't HAVE to the American one. Witness this excerpt for the link: "I asked an old man, 'Why do you live in such conditions? Don't you want to do something to improve your lot?' " Lisinenko said. "But the man replied, 'Don't you understand that the worse we live in this world, the better our lives will be in paradise? We don't want the same things in life that you want.' " Please, think for a minute. About the dead. About those who will die. And WHY.

  6. redunant? on Move Over Lego, Enter Atollo · · Score: 1

    The name Atollo comes from the Latin word "atollo" which means to raise a building Hey, I love redunacy in servers... but damn.
