  1. Snow Crash and Diamond Age on Dystopic Novels? · · Score: 1

    Both by Neal Stephenson. His future societies are interesting corporatized shards of what we know now.

  2. I speak for the trees on AT-ATs Coming to a Forest Near You · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I realize that the purpose of this device is to lessen the impact of vehicles on the forest, which is great, but is anyone else freaked out by its resemblance to the rapid forest destroying machines in Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax"? Maybe Hollywood can make a live action version now.

  3. Have your grandmother try to read this thread... on Root as Primary Login: Why Not? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...to understand why *nix is not ready for home user desktop prime time.

  4. Re:1984 Anyone? on Microsoft Edits English · · Score: 1

    Uhmm, then shouldn't this have been implemented as an option since it represents a downgrade of the product's previous functionality? Read the damned article. Only a horribly overprotective parent would agree with this nonsensical over-achieving expurgation of words like "ninny", and they should only be allowed ruin the lives of their own children. (MS Word is NOT targeted ar school children anyway.)
