    Is this start.ini?

  2. Just like the old cartoon: on Pentagon Wants Screenplays From Scientists · · Score: 1

    Karen pursed her lips. "I knew that some nuclei where spherical and some were ellipsodical, but how did you find out some fluctuate in between?" He rolled his warm body next to hers. "They've been observed with an electron scanning microscope..."

    PS: Be sure to use the line "this explains why your stock is doing so badly." It drives them crazy. (I used to answer those letter myself, so I know.)

  7. Re:Not surprising on Laptops Outsell Desktops in Retail Stores · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Still desktops generally have faster HDD speeds. I've seen a notebook with a 5400rpm drive, but it's still slower than desktop drives. On the subject of heat, I worked for a large computer manufacturer and we were stricly enjoined from calling them "laptops" for that very reason! They are mobile computers or notebook computers.

  8. Re:That's the nice thing about math on Pure Math, Pure Joy · · Score: 1

    Yes, but may be useful later--like primes. Was there a practical use before RSA? Yet still pursued for their beauty...

  9. Re:Read the article :) on Does Google = God? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think this is more the Judeo-Christian God. The principle characteristic of the Greek gods was their ability to do all things swiftly and with ease (taxeos kai reia) rather than omniscience/omnipresence/omnipotence. Actually fits Google a bit better. Or as my prof used to say, "Not like that nasty old Jehovah, always peeping out from behind a curtain..."
