  1. Re:How about adding locations? on Google Crowdsources Map Editing · · Score: 1

    Which neighbourhood are you in? My older sister lives near Victoria, BC, and Victoria is the city in her mailing address. However, Google Maps classifies her only under another municipality name that technically applies to her area but that no one uses. Are there any strange alternatives that Google might list your neighbourhood under?

  2. Re:Warning: Gmail IMAP support is ASCII only!!! on Free IMAP On Gmail · · Score: 1

    There's lots of room for optimism! I mean, this is only the beta, and I treat it like my main e-mail client!

  3. Community Fragility on Alan Cox's Exploding Laptop · · Score: 1

    I always wonder what will happen when certain luminaries or leaders in Open Source die. I wish I could branch time lines and compare the impact of a loss and a loss averted. I thought about that a lot when Rob Levin recently passed away. What effect would losing Greg KH, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, , or even Alan Cox have? I know some of them are less active than they have been, but a few are symbols that give the rest of us direction. How durable is our community? Free Software, Open Source, Linux, can losing a few bring down the rest? I do not really want to know the answer to this yet, so I'll say I'm quite glad Alan was on the other side of the room.

  4. The Calculi of Lambda CONVERSION on Great Computer Science Papers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think you mean "The Calculi of Lambda Conversion" , or are they two different things?

  5. A Required Argument for the Most Popular Argument on The Real Reason for Sending Astronauts into Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We can is like a sub-argument for "Because we Want to." People want to keep experiencing new things. We grow familiar and tired with what we have, so we risk our security and reach out for new experiences. Space is one of those. Killing all of us isn't. Greedy, petty, differing desires prevent us from feeding everyone in the world, from defending our natural habitat, from flying, and from curing the world, and also because of simple economics. Things need to be managed, as well as our desires. That's why we're taking so long to go into space. Conflicting desires and simple economics.
    "Because We Can" is a qualification for "We Want to"

  6. This is just plain cruel on 17" Monitor Case Modding -- The "iMike" · · Score: 1

    I hope shaw just takes the site when he overuns his limit . . .

  7. A Grande Understatement on Buffy Series Finale Tonight · · Score: 1

    The show understated itself. There's value in that. Especially when everything else is trying to be grand, this show simply understated itself. No Buffy falling downwards into the pit of vampires. No Willow melting or destroying or enlightening the enemy. No Dawn assuming any new role. It was a lot like life, things just happened, and not in the most spectacular manner. Hopefully the writers won't carry over to the spin-offs :)
