  1. Instead of posting on Slashdot ... on U.S. Classrooms Torn Between Science and Religion · · Score: 1

    Why not be more direct? I did a simple google and found some e-mail addresses.

    You can voice your opposition or (coff-coff) support directly to the principal of Kearny High School - Mr. Alfred Somma - asomma@kearnyschools.com All this info is published openly on kearnyschools.com, so I don't think I'm exposing the guy to any new risk of e-mail abuse or anything.

    No guarrantee he will care, of course.

  2. Novell defends it's move ... on Novell Gets $348 Million From Microsoft · · Score: 5, Informative
    From the same site (different page - http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4685037869.html) :

    "Under the patent cooperation agreement, Novell's customers receive directly from Microsoft a covenant not to sue. Novell does not receive a patent license or covenant not to sue from Microsoft, and we have not agreed with Microsoft to any condition that would contradict the conditions of the GPL. Our agreement does not affect the freedom that Novell or anyone else in the open source community, including developers, has under the GPL and does not impose any condition that would contradict the conditions of the GPL. Therefore, the agreement is fully compliant with the GPL,"

  3. It is a sad comment ... on New Star Trek Title In The Works · · Score: -1, Troll

    ... on the Star Trek franchise that so few people even bother to comment on this item.

    This _is_ news for nerds, but none of the nerds care.

  4. Maybe your computer can actually help on Staying Healthy When Working 12 Hours a Day? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Have you seen the project "Workrave". It encourages you to take a break, and gives you exercises so that you don't get too stiff.

  5. MDA did not build the Canadarm on Space Robot Maker MDA Nets Hubble Repair Contract · · Score: 3, Interesting
    "The Canadian firm that built the Canadarm"

    Yes, MacDonald Dettwiler did buy Spar Aerospace, who built the "Canadarm", but the company otherwise has little to do with it. They are, however, involved in some of the robotics of the ISS (called "Canadarm 2").

    BTW -- few people other than Canadians (of which I am one) call it the "Canadarm".

  6. Re:Geographic Distribution on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 1

    "They aren't getting the other side, and so they are sincerely astonished when the whole country doesn't agree with what they thought was the only way of looking at things." Substitute "Americans" for "They" and "world" for "country", and you get how people from other countries view the US.

  7. Amiga on Sony's Eye Toy Previewed, Future Explored · · Score: 1

    Does anybody remember a quite similar application for the original Amiga circa 1984?
