  1. The BIG issue now on Scientists Create New Form of Matter · · Score: 1, Funny

    When will this matter?

  2. Did he use an Itanium 2? on A Modest Model Railroad · · Score: 1

    Did he use an Itanium 2 for this, as indicated by the little sign "Merced Tower 2" a bit down one this page. I bet that was one of those subliminal messages.

  3. This sounds like BS on Martian Rock Found In Morocco · · Score: 1

    This sounds like marvellous, just like the story on "the first piece of Mars" found in Antarctica.

    1. If a metorite hits Mars it has a tremendeous speed, melting and/or vaporising anything in its vicinity.

    2. Imagine that piece of molten Martian rock actually surpassing the gravity of Mars...

    3. Imagine that piece of by now deep frozen rock actually hitting a Sun-orbiting Earth...

    4. Imagine that piece of now frozen dirt entering the Earth's atmosphere, heating up again...

    5. Imagine that now molten piece of shit hitting Earth at supersonic speed...

    6. Imagine that pice of, by now, nothingness being found by someone, at all.

    7. Imagine that series of incidents being given millions of dollars in funding by the Earth's most powerful government...

    8. Imagine me believing in anything written above.

  4. Re:Similar to PgAdmin for Postgres on MySQL Official GUI Interface · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    But, did you see at the rainbow mismatch colors in the fonts in those .png shots? Yuk. If you want to show off with screenies, do it good.

  5. Graphite foam, is cool too on The Amazing Properties of Aerogel · · Score: 1

    Combine aerogel with the various forms of graphite foam, and you can do "anything", all lightweight.

  6. Re:QOTD:Can anyone explain this huge trade yesterd on SCO Files Response To Demand For Evidence · · Score: 1

    Ok, but then check SGI's 125% raise in ten days! What could be the cause?!

  7. Re:Small fonts on SCO Files Response To Demand For Evidence · · Score: 1

    Don't be silly, surely SCO must have used the Greek font "Symbol" which they for sure knew IBM can read.

  8. Re:Only support subscribers on Novell Offers Linux Users Legal Indemnity · · Score: 1

    What, they are going to indemnify IBM? ;)

  9. Re:4/1, eh? on Doom 3 Vaporware no More · · Score: 1

    Or, as in Europe - January 4th (2005?)

  10. Slackware kernel compile guide available on Kernel 2.6.1 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Slackware kernel 2.6.x compile/upgrade guide available here.

  11. Where's the string? on Surprise Galaxies at the Edge of Observable Space · · Score: 1

    I looked at the 8MB video, but could see no "string" of galaxies. It more looked like a cloud of galaxies. To me it seems like astronomers need some better definition of what is a string-like object.

  12. SCO owns C++ (and C too?) on C Coding Tip - Self-Manage Memory Alllocation · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "And C++ programming languages, we own those, have licensed them out multiple times, obviously. We have a lot of royalties coming to us from C++"

    Darl McBride, SCO

    WTF?! It's true, he said that. Read more here and here

  13. International versions? on First Preview of GIMP 2.0 Ready for Testing · · Score: 1

    There should really be a way to easily translate all menus in Gimp to various languages. But, I could not find any information on their homepage. Any tips?

  14. Pitch Black on Still No Contact from Beagle 2 · · Score: 1

    "we also know that it has landed on an unforgiving planet,' said David Southwood, ESA's Director of Science"

    Damnit, didn't he see Red Planet in time?!

  15. Google's IPO on Internet Archive Opens Crawler Code Under LGPL · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    In fact, one of the greatest Linux user out there may have their IPO hurt by this LGPL, or did I miss something essential here?

  16. ifdef Win32 at Apple? on Xgrid Clustering Software and Demo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A code snippet from here(!) reads:

    #ifdef _WIN32
    #pragma warning( disable : 4127 4706 ) /* disable conditional is constant warning */
    #endif


    Why would developers at Apple ifdef for Win32?!

  17. AMD's chance on Athlon 64 3400+ Reviewed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wouldn't be too surprised if AMD chose to withhold faster versions of the Athlon64 FX-series until any Prescott is just about to be released. A day before or so. Leap-frogging at its finest.

  18. parkinson too on Caffeine vs Type II Diabetes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Some claim caffeine helps for Parkinsons disease too

  19. Re:Headline: SCOX fined $5M for spam? on SCO Gives Notice To 6,000 Unix Licensees · · Score: 1

    "Ironic that at least two Caldera employees have, with Caldera's blessing, contributed code to Linux." What if Caldera used their own and same code snippets de novo in both systems, both in their Unix and in Linux and at the same time?!

  20. Re:Phew... on SCO Gives Notice To 6,000 Unix Licensees · · Score: 5, Informative

    That is why you should consider visit Groklaw more often. They cover and uncover more SCO dirt than any one else on the net.

  21. Afganistan? on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 1

    Surely, these could be from a post-apocalyptic Afganistan?

  22. Re:boo.com on Likely Success of Internet-Related Business Models? · · Score: 1

    "multi-million dollar marketing campaign"

    In their case it was a +100 million dollar campaign in one year, or the equivalent of it...

  23. boo.com on Likely Success of Internet-Related Business Models? · · Score: 1

    boo.com was the biggest failure ever, in the 1st dot com era. However, they were right. However, they were just too early, with too little feeling/touch for the hardware reality at the time. Java sucked then, as it does to a large extent today.

    (Will they never learn? ;)

    Sens moral? Do what hardware can do for you today, not when you release; the masses don't have the latest and greatest.

  24. Itanic on Eight Biggest Tech Flops Ever · · Score: 1

    Itanium may end up here, or?

  25. perch and bass are NOT native on Australia To Use GM To Control Carp · · Score: 2, Informative

    "perch and bass" are not native in Australia. Perches are found in Europe, North America, and northern Asia. Bass are found in North America only.

    For a better fish context - see Fishbase.

    So, what do I care if one introduced fish species eradicates other introduced.
