  1. Re:Usable by free flight simulators? on Laser-Scanning U.S. Landmarks · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I hope they release the raw data

    Then terrorists may be able to use it to their advantage to find weakspots in (for eg) Mount Rushmore. I imagine they will be able to find flaws in rushmore that could be exploited by high explosives.

    I wish I hadn't thought of that...

  2. Re:Everyone's free to use sunscreen... on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1
    If Mel Gibson can attract enough people to the movie to make that much money, who should get the money?

    me.

    Seriously though, why not some charity, or a not-for-profit organization? I'm not saying Mel shouldn't get paid, but this much? And how much acting does he really have to do for the Mad Max series movies anyway? As I recall there wasn't that much "acting", but the violence more than made up for that....

  3. Great to see on Free Charged Particle Texts · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The more we make science books available, the more people can learn and maybe make a contribution back to their chosen field of study one day.

    Great to see.

  4. Re:Woohoo!! on Debian-Installer Alpha Released · · Score: 1
    I've never minded the old installer, but whenever I reccomend debian, people have some problem or another installing it. Maybe now I won't have to spend any time fixing other people's installation mistakes...

    As stupid as this makes me sound, I have tried to get debian 3.0 up and running many times, only to have it fail to setup X-windows properly, despite the fact that I have told it the correct graphics chip, video ram etc etc. Changing config files makes no apparent difference, even to files that are "correct" on other distributions. No such problems with other distributions, or for that matter FreeBSD.

    If they replace the installer, and it has better hardware detection, and is able to setup X with no problems, I'll give it another go, maybe.
