  1. Re:Medical equipment on The Very Worst Uses of Windows · · Score: 5, Insightful

    During the birth of my first daughter, the fetal heart monitor was connected to a Windows box. Trust me, the last thing you want to see in the middle of a long, difficult and painful birth is a BSOD...especially when the doctor is desperately searching for a heartbeat.

  2. Re:This weeks TWIT talked about this as well on Should Wikipedia Sell Advertising? · · Score: 1

    Here's the Danny Wool post that Calacanis mentioned in this week's TWIT. It certainly looks like Woods has been planning on this for quite awhile.

  3. Re:As far as privacy goes... on Google's Blog Search · · Score: 1

    According to the About Blog Search page, they respect robots.txt and the nofollow, noindex and noarchive metatags. Livejournal uses the metatags for non-paid accounts. Blog Search is still spidering those, those. This is the first time I've ever seen Google not abide by one of their public statements. Somebody needs to get called on the carpet for this. Mail to the provided email address just gets you a form letter reply, btw.

  4. Re:A quick and dirty review on New Battlestar Galactica - Worth a Series? · · Score: 1

    I was imagining that she killed the baby out of mercy, actually, on the theory that things were going to get real, real ugly in that city very soon. Her expression immediately after is fascinating. A mix of revulsion, sadness and idle curiousity all at the same time. Lots of subtlety, and it's a tribute to the writers and director that they didn't give a quick explanation. That scene immediately sold the rest of the show for me, and made me hope for it to go to series. I'm tired of shows where everything has to be spelled out for the viewer.

  5. Re:Why is Japan so far ahead?? on Sony Launches 2 New "Video" Clie Models · · Score: 1

    For several years in the early 90s before their economy tanked, Japan had the second largest defense budget in the world. The Japanese F-16s and their equivalent of the Aegis cruiser are markedly better than what we operate. They may not be battle-tested, but I'd hate to be the force that goes up against them.
