    Have you developed a sudden phobia of gelatin encased mystery meat in the last 3 years? That explains why I haven't bought any in the last 20 years (at least).

    Yeah too bad we can't study that dude some more.

    From the website: "Many of these characteristics are definitive of modern-day caucasoid peoples, while others, such as the orbits are typical of neither race. Dental characteristics fit Turner's (1983) Sundadont pattern, indicating possible relationship to south Asian peoples."

    >>After that, lots and lots of Europeans emigrated to America and Australia (most of them for economic reasons ofcourse).

    I thought Herculaneum was covered by Mt Vesuvius along with Pompeii? It was Roman.

    Maybe you mean the Egyptian port of Alexandria? With the big lighthouse and library?

    Most of the evidence as I understand it comes from the ability of the Phoenicians and Egyptians to cross the Atlantic (based on ship construction). Maybe there is more evidence I am not aware of, buy Hyerdahl just proved it could be done, not that it was done.

    >>Somebody better look into this. Are they violating the GPL??

    Two clicks and you could have saved yourself some hand-wringing. They provide the source code with the distro on the DVD, as they state on the website.

    >>(lets see how quickly my "against the flow thinking" gets me modded down)

    Impossible. You mentioned that you WOULD be modded down in your post, therefore you will be modded up +1 Insightful.

  8. Commericial Linux Dying? on Mission Critical Linux in Trouble · · Score: 1

    Another report of a company associated with Linux going under. Do we have to rely on the IBMs of the world and the private hackers? Will the little companies be able to survive this economic cycle or was the Biz Model just poor for all these dying companies?
