  2. AIX License on SCO Terminates IBM's Unix License · · Score: 1

  5. Free Software VS Ph.D. Ego on Running a Research Lab on Free Software? · · Score: 1
    I work for a Materials Research Facility in Mexico where the budget to do the things work is very limited. The main problem here is that my fellow co-workers refuses to use other software than VB, VFortran and in the worst cases VisualFox to do his "research stuff" arguing they don't have the time to learn how to use new software, no matter how good it is. Sometimes they refuses to try because I'm the younger researcher and they (the older) have all the experience, so, how I dare to teach them about nothing. Sometimes we have some money to invest in software and they prefer the windows version over Linux version (when is available).

    Anyone has experienced something like that? and what kind of "measures" you take to get some Free Software followers?

  6. Concentration on Video Games Boost Visual Skills · · Score: 1

  8. What I Hate... on What I Hate About Your Programming Language · · Score: 1, Funny
    Perl programmers like punctuation. Python programmers like indentation. Every programming language has its own syntax, stemming from its philosophy

    And emacs handles all of this...

  9. Price on Mass Storage Leaves Microchips in the Dust · · Score: 5, Interesting
    If back then 10 megabytes cost $1,000, then 60 gigabytes would have cost x, where x = $6,000,000 and "back then" = 18 years ago

    No only the price, the size of the drives. 18 years ago a 40 Mb HD has the size of a toaster...
