  1. Maybe far fetched but.. on 15 Mutations Resulted In Increased Brain Size · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ..what happens then? Mices learn to think and you kill'em as soon as you get the results?

  2. Evolution mail import? on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What? According to the overview evolution 1.5.2 doesn't support mail importing. That's a bit odd since my 1.4.5 does support it.

  3. Re:Actually, there already is a Google OS on Google to Launch Free Mail Service? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Google sell their systems?

  4. Re:Dammit. on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    I too think that is wrong for mozilla.org people to start using the firebird name. But when looking at the consequences did it really hurt that much the one and only firebird? It surely make them more known, didn't it?

  5. Re:Friendster fights back on Slashback: Zip, Language, Opportunism · · Score: 1

    So that just tries to match real life: you get screwed :/

  6. Re:A Fair Deal... on Slashback: Zip, Language, Opportunism · · Score: 1

    So what's the situation now: any invites yet?

  7. Re:More good quotes... on FBI Agent Talks Crime, Macs · · Score: 1

    not in the boxes I have used... Maybe if you compile kernel yourself.. :)

  8. Re:Pretty Feasible on UserBSD vs. UserLinux - Is It Feasible? · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. seems a bit slow:
    "Download experimental install floppies (last updated 6th October 2002)"

    Mailinglist archives show only messages from few people.

    I'm gonna interested in this because I'm currently using debian on desktop and soon to test freebsd.

  9. Re:LiNRADiO on SETI Project Scientist Discusses Prospects · · Score: 1

    Thanks.

    Argh! Most people who I know has already bought their christmas presents... :)

  10. Re:I wish they would release the data on SETI Project Scientist Discusses Prospects · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Universal box, but what do you use to gather and present your data? The digital suite that is sold seems to be only for windows.

  11. Re:Unbelievable... on Galileo System To Include Jamming Capability · · Score: 1

    A) Somewhat true. Why should they cooperate fully as long as they follow the rules and agreements? What are thoughts of the iraq war? Should all european union countries have gone to fight the war?

    B) Dunno.. haven' t read it ;)

  12. Re:Unbelievable... on Galileo System To Include Jamming Capability · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Basically, the US is pointing out that the Galileo system is a dual-use civilian/military system. If it is used by an enemy the US might be forced to take it out. Instead, they're giving the EU the option to design it to play nice so that there are more options in a war than just shooting it down or letting the enemy use it.



    <p>Why should it be shot down if US can't jam it? Why not trust the EU to do it?</p>
  13. Maybe.. on Human Interference In Computer Chess Championship? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ..not the "first post!" but first to read the articles!

  14. Re:I think you make the point exactly on Expose Metacity With Expocity · · Score: 1

    Oddly, everything you site as an example of original OSS development is actually derivative of something else.

    I'm interested. Can you back up your statement?

  15. Re:Serious misgivings. on Novell Announces Agreement to Acquire SUSE · · Score: 1

    What ever did happen to unitedlinux? Did it just say in that 1.0 phase?

  16. Re:DejaVu all over again and No need to switch on Novell Announces Agreement to Acquire SUSE · · Score: 1

    I think you've missed the very important part. RHEL is not available as a free download. No binaries. Certainly no ISOs. Simply a release of the source, to fulfill the letter of the GPL.



    <p>Is there somebody who makes isos out of the sources? That should be possible under gpl, right?</p>

  17. Some calculations.. on South American Glaciers Melting Quickly · · Score: 1

    I started to calcute how fast glaciers will increase 1m the sea level etc. but then I noticed that the same trend of 0.1mm yearly contributions will not stay if the temperature stays the same. The area of melting will slowly become smaller leading to smaller contributions.

    Of course some people expect warmer times..

  18. Re:Some old niceties on Alpha's Going Going Gone · · Score: 1

    I tried to be funny there... It didnt work :)

  19. Re:Some old niceties on Alpha's Going Going Gone · · Score: 1

    ..rather than a 32bit cpu with 64bit extensions added in.

    Wouldn't that make them 96bit cpus then?

  20. wow, on 12 Million Historic Photos Scanned to Web · · Score: 1

    that many pictures must have somekind of effect on images.google.com. ;)

    That is ofcourse the pictures are cached to it.

  21. You guys have forgotten.. on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    ..gmplayer! You got to have a program for watching pr0n...

  22. I would buy on Will Legal P2P Music Distribution Succeed? · · Score: 1

    but how do I pay? Credit card - no, not possible since I am a student. Paypal - no, I have heard too many stories about lost money, insecurity etc. Other ways?

  23. Re:Heavens, no! on China Prepares To Examine MS Windows Code · · Score: 1

    America went without the acceptation from UN to Iraq. I think that is the thing that most people hate. USA didn't sat around the table and worked it out there.

    Now it's requesting help to Iraq from other nations, ofcourse only if they agree to be under the command of american troops.

  24. Microsoft vs. third party on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm wondering why the news:

    Microsoft is claiming that half of all MS Windows crashes are the fault of third party code, not their own.

    turned up side down..

    Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes

  25. I do.. on Sweden Crunches Cookies · · Score: 1

    ..not believe this. *If* such law exists I think that swedish will not obey it or do they simply deny put Cookies: yes/no dialog at the start page. If you choose no then you will redirected to slashdot.org.
