  1. So, on Space Ramen! · · Score: 1

    What are all the plans nations have for the space station?

  2. So, what's wrong with that? on Web-Surfing Indian Slum Kids Ask: "What's a Computer" · · Score: 1

    It reverses the direction of the x and y axes. It's like moving the cursor around on a lever.

  3. Yeah... on Web-Surfing Indian Slum Kids Ask: "What's a Computer" · · Score: 1

    That did seem kind of strange.

  5. Y2k on Byte Wars · · Score: 1

    The fear is not that the system crashes on y2k. The fear is that the system crashes, and crashes and crashes...on and on, also that data generated from those systems will become highly corrupted.

  6. What is source compatibility... on OpenBeOS Gets Binary-Compatible Network Stack · · Score: 1

    I was wondering that, but I think I cracked it. If you take a source file and compile it and the binary works with one system, but not another, then the first system is binary compatible with the binary generated, but the second one is not. If you take the source and compile it in a compile enviornment that targets the second system and the binary runs, then the second system is source compatible to the program and possibly to the first system.

  7. Nature? on Condor Chick Born In Wild · · Score: 1

    Wow! I didn't know the father's name was Nature. But seriously, nature doesn't control anything. Nature just is.
