  2. Lifespan on First Digital Simulation of an Entire Life Form · · Score: 1

    FTFA: Because of the enormous computing power involved, the virus was brought to digital life for a very brief period of time, only 50 nanoseconds Goodness. Don't they a decent timeline to learn anything from it?

  3. Honestly on Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista · · Score: 5, Interesting

    After paying for 3.1, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP I'm really starting to abandon cynicism and derision in favor of good old practical thriftiness. I just can't afford Windows anymore.

  9. Bad scans on Google's Library Up and Running · · Score: 1

    My first search, "Justine" by de Sade, brought up a page that looked like a hung-over secretary had scanned it in with no concern for margins. The last word of every sentence disappears off the side. I'm sticking to Gutenberg.

  12. Anniversary release on fvwm Turns Ten · · Score: 5, Informative

    They released a new version today QUOTE: http://freshmeat.net/projects/fvwm/ The changes in this release are as follows: All single letter variables are deprecated, and multiletter variables are provided. The NoWarp menu position hint option works with root menus too. WindowListFunc is executed within a window context, so a prefix "WindowId $0" is no longer needed in its definition, and it is advised to remove it from user configs. FvwmEvent executes all window related events within a window context, so PassId is not needed anymore, and all prefixes "WindowId $0" may be removed from user event handlers.
