  1. Dune on NASA Says Mars Once "Drenched With Water" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wasn't Dune (Arrakis), and the Sahara desert, once drenched with water? In Dune, the Worms were the cause of its climatic change while I forgot what happened to the Sahara (was it new mountain ranges forming in the north). I think that a lot of places on earth changed from forests to deserts because the mountain ranges blocked the flow of rainclouds inland. I doubt that Mars was dried because of mountain ranges so I have no idea what I am talking about here :p

  2. Even Cooler on Borg Cube Case · · Score: 1

    An uncompleted Death Star Case! The intricacies of the uncompleted Death Star rivals that of a Borg cube. Even cooler would be a projector mounted inside the primary superlaser enplacement!

  3. 2.2.? on Linux Kernel 2.2.26 -- 2.2 is not dead! · · Score: 4, Informative

    2.0.? is not dead either. Their 2.0.40 was released only two and a half weeks ago.

  4. Applications on One more G4 for the PowerBook? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I doubt that we will be seeing laptops with more than 4GB of memory anytime soon. Virtual memory is slow for the kinds of applications normally used on a 64-bit system. If virtual memory is used, we might be seeing more 32-bit applications that does paging of 4GB blocks before the implementation of a 64-bit Apple laptop. I also think that most people would be running their 64-bit memory addressing applications for long spans time and I doubt that they would use a laptop for them. And as for 64-bit integer applications, I would love to have faster encryption with larger keys on my laptop but most people still use 32-bit systems and using such key sizes would be inpolite. Faster internal data transfer will be useful though. In conclusion, I think that the applications for 64-bit machines are inappropriate for laptops and there will not be much of an advantage for a 64-bit laptop.

  5. Does anyone know on Intel Prescott Released · · Score: 1

  6. Invitrogen on Learning (And Harvesting) from Extremophiles · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Invitrogen patented the harvesting of the polymerase enzyme from the extremophile bacteria thermophiles aquarticus. It's a shame that one company can overcharge researchers by patenting something nature created!

  10. ext2 on Filesystems For Removable Disks? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You could use the ext2 filesystem. Mac OS X Ext2 Filesystem is a beta and Explore2efs is available for Windows.

  11. ICC on Measuring The Benefits Of The Gentoo Approach · · Score: 1

    Has anyone tried to use Intel's icc compiler to compile Gentoo?

  12. Reminds me of XML on Ian Murdock: Linux is a Process, Not a Product · · Score: 4, Interesting

    XML is argued to be a data exchange format, not a data storage format. This article about Linux being a dynamic project has a similarity with XML. It is interesting how people now consider the dynamic nature to be the core of interest, instead of the actual tangible aspects.

  13. Andrew Odlyzko on Privacy Incursions to Support Price Discrimination · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Odlyzko is a premere researcher in compution the zeros of the Zeta function. Here is his site.

  14. IC7-G on ABIT's Secure IDE Motherboard · · Score: 1

    I have an IC7-G and I can say that I am very happy with it. It can overclock at 233mhz FSB with absolutely no problems in the OS. Kudos to ABIT for making such a great product.

  15. Jim Bell on Pentagon Lets You Bid on Terrorism? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Remember Jim Bell? Posted comments to the effect of setting up a system where you can bet on who will be assassinated. He got into deep trouble with the courts who tried to censor any mention of it. Here is some more information.

  16. Re:Scaling on Window Managers for High Resolution Displays? · · Score: 1

    Also, a 17" and 19" LCD has the same maximum resolution of 1280x1024. You can consider buying a 19" LCD to get a magnified version of what you would get with a 17" LCD.

  17. For more information on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Watch the Animatrix: The Second Renaissance part 1 and 2.

  18. Serious Sam on Danish Psychiatrists To Use Counter-Strike · · Score: 1

    What about using Serious Sam on depressed people? The lame humor in those games should resonate on the depressed.

  19. Kill on DirecTV Sues Anyone Who Bought Smartcard Reader? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Would somebody please firebomb DirectTV headquarters and snipe any flaming survivers? And don't forget to kill the judges and lawyers who are allowing this to continue. We need to send a clear and present message that we are not going to tolerate this kind of an infringement of our rights. If they go after our right to piracy, why should we allow them to have their right to life?

    It is an array of coefficients repersenting a set of linear transformations.

  24. Gentoo and FreeBSD ports on Binary Package Formats Compared · · Score: 3, Insightful

    are better than packages because you get more control over what is installed onto your file system. If you really want to the slight advantage that package formats provide over ports, use SRPMS. You will have some of the customizability of using ports and all the features that RPMs provide.
