This is mainly aimed at Windows users (we know you're there!), but here it goes:
Berners-Lee added that he still uses Netscape, despite its fall in popularity, on a Mac with the OS X operating system, and has started playing with Mozilla's new open source Firefox browser as well.
This discussion reminds me of a bunch of 13 year old geeks sitting around the RPG table talking about what they're going to do if giant robots with photon torpedos take over the planet.
Well, you *are* on slashdot, buddy!

It talks about how inflation predicts multiple universes, this week.
My, my... When I think that only last week it predicted a unique universe!;@)
You haven't seen anything yet... I've got this experimental beast here, that measures less than 0.2'' x 0.1'' x 0.05'', is so light that it can stay afloat on a sea of troubles, and has this wonderful, 1600x1450 smoke screen.
...will look immediatly familiar to us, former Psion aficionados.
Well, I guess there are two schools of thought concerning PDAs: the one that favors a light, slim, pocketable device and the other which prefers the commodity of a real QWERTY (or AZERTY or Dvorak or whatever else) keyboard. Good to see that there are offers for both tastes out there!
"Aristotle made significant contributions to logic (He and Plato founded the basic principals of logic, such as some of the rules of inference), physics, astronomy, meteorology, zoology, metaphysics, theology, psychology, political science, economics, ethics, rhetoric, and poetics"
Ah, but then on Aristotle's times 640k *really* were more than enough for anyone...;o)
Apart from that, there are good historical reasons why Aristotle's works "weren't superceded" for such a long time. Nonetheless, I quite agree on the fact that Aristotle was and is an important figure in the history of sciences.
And then there is parthenogenesis (sp.?), a phenomenon well known in stick insects (Phasmoidea). Essentially, a female will be able to produce offspring without any help from males (now this is something I have a hunch will appeal to some of/. female readership, I don't know why...;o)
Yes, there^'s something to be said about mushrooms as natural geiger counters...
When the Chernobyl catastrophe happened, I lived in Ticino (the southern, Italian-speaking part of Switzerland). Just when "the radioactive cloud" was passing over the Alps, we were in the middle of the local rain season. For a while, we received a warning not to eat any salad or other vegetable. Although this was probably somewhat an histerical reaction, to this day our mushrooms show heavy traces of radioactive isotopes, going back to that time.
Quite a lot of plants and animals can be sued as bioindicators, i.e. natural indicators of some substance (usually a pollutant) in our environment. Lichens, for instance, can be used as a very precise measure of a city's pollution.
BTW, "Risotto ai funghi" is a local recipe of rice, safran and mushrooms. If you are lucky enough to have safe mushrooms at hand, give it a try! You won't regret it.

- Read the "Why Use Firefox?" document
- Go download Firefox and install it
- Use Firefox as you default browser for 5 days
- If, after 5 days, you're still not convinced that Firefox is the best browser there is, uninstall it and switch back
