  1. Re:Whooping Cough Sucks on Vintage Diseases Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    Luckily for adults, the tetanus booster now contains a pertussis component. TDaP. Finally approved. I work for a state health department in the immunization section and pertussis was a major problem in our state last year because adults often carry it but show no symtoms. TDaP will save a lot of other adolescents and adults the agony you went through.

  2. 100 lbs on Oregon Trail - Developing A Classic · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually it was 100 lbs of meat that could be carried back to the wagon in the apple ii version. Being from Minnesota our schools felt a great need to support a local software company and had us play number muncher and oregon trail for about 2-3 hours every week in the late 80s. The 100 lbs limit was definitely annoying. Anyone remember playing the more recent version of the trail for the Apple LC III's?

  3. Just what the doctor ordered on Caffeinated Beer Becomes a Reality · · Score: 1

    I just happen to be both sleepy and thirsty at the moment. Now if only I could have this 2 for 1 beverage of champions at work I would be set.

  4. Re:Just two questions on Cooling Toronto Using Lake Ontario · · Score: 1

    The graphic on Enwaves site shows that the water taken out of the lake is for the potable supply which won't make it back into the lake until people have used it. The water will be a little warmer when it comes out of the first exchanger but as it runs through the pipes underground the temp equalizes to the ground temp which if I remember correctly is close to the 12.5 C anyway.

  5. Re:An important piece of history on Moon Rocket Scrubbed and Blown Dry · · Score: 1

    I agree it is a great tribute to determination and ingenuity of man. Maybe it should be on display on more of a world stage so that all mankind can remember and be proud of the accomplishment.

  7. Re:slimserver on Streaming MP3s on Demand? · · Score: 0

    A cool feature that I like about slim is that it lets anyone setup a playlist on the fly if you like.

    It will also recognize my iTunes playlists (maybe m3u?).

  8. Re:Heh. on Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV · · Score: -1, Troll

    Don't you mean Communistcast??
