  1. Re:This is getting old on Microsoft May Delay Windows Vista Again · · Score: 1

    I have seen a G3 ibook running Tiger, the girl who own the iBook knows almost nothing about computer at all.

  2. Re:But, what does it do? on First Neutron Pulse from SNS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For carbon and hydrogen based matters like DNA, RNA, protein and polymer, in many case, it is very hard to get good contrast from either X-ray or electron beam. But by replacing hydrogen with deuterium, we can actually control the contrast from neutron beam. To be simple, neutron is extreme important to the research in biology area and soft condensed materials.

    Neutron has pretty long wave length, thus it can be used to study the structures in nanometer scale. While the X-ray works better actually in Angstrom scale. Transmission Electron Microscope works very well from micron to angstrom scale, but TEM can only look at extreme small volume. But neutron can look at bulk material. So neutron is good at looking into nanostructure even in bulk.

    The problem with neutron equipment is firstly they are all huge, secondly, they are slow. The new one at Oak Ridge is still huge, but very fast.

  4. Harvest on Microsoft To Invest Heavily In China · · Score: 1

    Lenova recently payed M$ about 1.2 billion US dollars, and counting in other smaller manufacturers, M$ may have collect as much as 2 billion US dollars in the last 4 months. Do you call this HARVEST after 10 years of "encouraging piracy". I think so. There was a famous rumor about piracy and M$ in China several years ago, when a journalist asked a top M$ executive about piracy, the rich guy said "as long as they are pirating our software, it doesn't matter".

  8. Apparently your are in the US on Missing Link Found Between Human Ancestors · · Score: 1

    Apparently your are in the US, where teachers are still troubling evolution theory and Creationism. Maybe something more like

    Revolution, evolution, masturbation, flagellation, regulation, integrations, meditations, United Nations, Congratulations.

    In other countries, people don't have this trouble.

    No more joking. Look, man, or woman, the science is not good enough to solve every problem yet. There are only a very limited pinch of special cases that math can give us answer analytically. Many problems are solved numerically. And for most problems there are no answer at all. That's the reallity.

    As people are not analytical, that't not important at all. We shouldn't expect a poet think analytically at all, shall we?

  9. Re:Raspberry would have been better! on Chinese Telecom Company Launches 'RedBerry' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because raspberry only grows in northeastern area of China, it is NOT a well known fruit in China. I guess no more than 5 million Chinese known such a thing. So it won't be a good product name.

    I am a Chinese, and I am physically living at Beijing now. But I have stayed at Maryland for several years. I found Marylanders bashed George W. Bush much more than Chinese government. When I applied for driver's license at MVA, I even got questions like this
