  1. Re:The question we're all thinking. on Babelfish Sparks Minor Diplomatic Row · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually they were translating from Hebrew to Dutch.
    Note that the total number of Hebrew speakers is fairly small
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_language/ (15 mil)
    VS English with 1.8 billion. Odds are they would have had a translator anyway though...

  2. Re:Not the interface on Apple's "Time Machine" Now For Linux... Sort Of · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually with BackupPC you can look at a specific directory, and see all files that have existed in the dir. Even better you can see what all points in history the file has changed.

    See if these screenshots help:
    http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/info.html#screenShots

    I also love BackupPC because I have several different OSes on my network and BackupPC can handle them all.

    Just set it, and forget it... well... then check it later and see if it still works... Oh, and maybe setup some kind of off site system. That isn't quite the same slogan.

  3. Umm... Whats the monitor for? on Mac mini Sans Wires - Batteries Inside the Case · · Score: 1

    Looks like a black screen on the monitor... Maybe he uses a blank screensaver :)

  4. Linus's Letter to Bill on Could Microsoft Buy Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    Hmm... Maybe this letter to Bill is a reality

    Just a thought.

    Hey - Maybe it was brought back at the time traveler convention.

    http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/

    I know the dates don't match up, but if you can travel in time...

  5. Re:Let's Quit Whining and Fix this on Winelib Hobbled by Exception-Handling Patent · · Score: 1

    We will need some sort of oversight committee - to audit the steering committee

    It too would need to be elected.

  6. Re:Tomorrows headline: on Dell Founder Dropped $100M Onto Red Hat · · Score: 1

    Saturday Headline -

    Michael Dell in Jail for Insider Trading - Quality time with Martha Stewart.

  7. Re:Can't they use for more productive things? on Space Needle To Become WiMax Antenna · · Score: 1

    Actually,

    The stadium is a good distance away (several miles) they would need some sort of device to help with the lobbing of the veggies.

    Of course you could have both, but then you would have to take into account that wi-max operates at microwave frequency. Tomatoes cooked by the wi-max would need to be launched at a slower speed (surface tension would be decreased)

  8. Unlikely... on New Computer Powered By PoE · · Score: 4, Funny

    FTA: 'PoE could end up being a universal power supply system as the cables and connectors for it are the same all over the world. By contrast power sockets and plugs differ by country.'"

    This seems to fit somewhere along the lines of IPV6 and enough ip addresses for your toaster to be ip enabled. Yea... No toast today, the network is down.

  9. Re:Grats to the Mac Community on Mac OS X Tiger Released and Analyzed · · Score: 1

    "You can have:

    * reliability/stability/security
    * lots of choice
    * bleeding-edge feature set and interface

    But you must pick only two."

    Then I pick the first and third option.
