  1. Open Books Project on O'Reilly Pushing Founder's Copyright System · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here is one of the more interesting entries in the Open Books Project: Free as in Freedom

  2. Inspiration from Hollywood on Improving Company Morale? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Peter Gibbons: So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
    Dr. Swanson: What about today? Is today the worst day of your life?
    Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
    Dr. Swanson: Wow, that's messed up!

  3. Excellent on Trigun Coming to Cartoon Network · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Trigun is probably my favorite series. The show has all I look for: good characters and character development, silliness, seriousness, empathy, sympathy, apathy [all the pathies :)] and a good flowing storyline. I will admit that I thought this series was going to be nothing but
    overexagerated expressions and childish antics. I was way wrong. I watched the entire series in two nights (I watched about 17 or 18 episodes on the second night alone.) This series totally engrossed my attention. (The dub is excellent!)

  4. Yep.. on Microsoft: We Make Hackers Obsolete · · Score: 3, Funny

    Are they using the same crack(sic) team that created the WindowsXP protection scheme?

  8. Re:More competition for processor production on Transmeta Astro -- More Details · · Score: 1

    They either give you faster CPUs or cooler CPUs.

    They are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Look at the chart here: Heat Down! Intel, AMD And VIA In Detail
    A P4-2.53GHz generates less heat than a 1.7GHz Celeron.

  9. Homeschoolers? on A New Approach to Teaching Science · · Score: 1

    traditional textbook publishing houses control pretty much everything children read in school and her difficulties in challenging the status quo I wonder if she has considered targetting the parents of home-schooled children?

  10. Re:photorealism on A Photorealistic CGI TV Series Coming Real Soon Now · · Score: 1
