  1. Useful for CAD? yes/no on Mesh Compression for 3D Graphics · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I get the feeling this technique won't be so useful for what most people consider to be CAD. That is, defining the size and shape of parts. (ALA Pro/Engineer, Catia or the like) The part of CAD that I feel may benefit is Finite Element Analysis (encompased by the phrase: computer aided design). Meshes of 3D shapes can get VERY complex VERY fast and this complexity has to be stored in large files. The hangup is probably that this technique was developed to retain visual similarity. That dosn't mean that the data it retains will provide a good numerical solution.

  6. IT'S A TRICK!!!! on George Foreman USB iGrill · · Score: 1

    Think about the fire hazard associated with running a george forman grill from the office. This is obviously a ploy by Microsoft to burn nerds out of house and home. Then they can finally kill the open source movement. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

  8. analogy time on BSA Accuses OpenOffice Mirrors · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Someone knocks at your door. You don't know who the hell it is but you let them anyways. You serve them tea. Then they accuse you of copying a wicker basket design of theirs. You say nope, its all my own original work. They agree. Then you send them the bill of .73 cents for their tea bag. Who is the dickhead in this situation?
