  3. 3 things you'll find on linux screenshot pages on Psion May Look To Linux For The Next Big Thing · · Score: 1

  5. fundementally flawed... on 'Just Sleep On It' Solves Tricky Problems? · · Score: 1

    this experiment is fundementally flawed... would it be that sleep is condusive to finding solutions or that exhaustion is detrimental to the ability to concentrate... it is fundementally flawed and no good at drawing conclusions...

  6. just like that PS2 cluster... on Gamecube Linux Port Announced, In Progress · · Score: 1

    i wonder if it'd be possible to make a gamecube cluster like that academic PS2 cluster that was made by the NCSA... the gamecube would be even more ideal... it's so tiny in size... i think it's got a better chip than the PS2... and it's pretty cool... http://access.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Releases/05.27.03_Play ing_th.html

  10. i don't need this... on Sweet Dreams Are Made By This · · Score: 1


    i can actually replay my dreams and watch a repeat of them while asleep, and and to some extent control events though it'd still be dreaming... i discovered this almost a year ago and i don't know for sure how i do it but i just do... has anyone experienced something similar...

  11. He's a TCL guy... on Eolas vs. Microsoft Verdict Stands, Despite ReExam · · Score: 1


    The Eolas CEO, and its only employee, is a TCL veteran who is well known on comp.lang.tcl. Maybe this will give us some indication about his attitude towards mozilla.

  17. Re:I disagree. Firebird is great, but it's not Ope on Mozilla's Year In Review For 2003 · · Score: 1

    my pet peeves about opera... you gotta press the right mouse key to activate mouse gestures, whereas in mozilla it's the right key... makes a big difference if you're a laptop user...

  18. he's a patent attorney... on URLs Patented, Domain Registrars Sued · · Score: 1

    i think this says it all... he's someone who profits from the law, in this case it's loopholes and misuse...

  19. that's dumb... on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1

    They just don't know what to do with 2D... considering how much of cool art has gone 2D recently, just consider viewtiful joe on the nintendo gamecube and many other examples...

  22. Re:LCD TV above the stove? on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 1

    here's a link to it... on steam it cooks faster than a stove... it can also do slow cooking... that spagetti sauce that is cooked slowly over 10 hours tastes like nothing you could ever get from a 20 minute job on a stove...

  23. Re:LCD TV above the stove? on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 1

    actually you're right... i know this 'cos my house is mosly lit by LEDs... well i got into them 'cos i have a neurotic temperament and find the candle-lit soft feel of LEDs comforting and calming, as well as the kosher feeling of using something so low energy-demand and that lasts 11 years of always-on... once you try LEDs as a main lighting source then all other forms of light will drive you crazy... they are also softer for reading 'cos they are diffuse... and the light itself is white in a sorta heavenly way...

    now regarding the stove thing... i can't remember the last time i used a stove.. well, actually i do... it was long ago... i stir-fried some sweet & sour sauce only to remember why i hadn't used the stove for ages before that... and haven't used it since... and i'll tell you how i eat my food... the only method of cooking that i use is steaming and air-grilling... any food i make that requires cooking is steamed... the only exception might be a pasta bake, which then, after i steam it for a little bit, put in a tabletop air-grill... the steamer too is electric and table-top... once you get used to the quality of steamed food, how great the vegetables look, how nice the sauce looks, you never wish to have anything else... oh and did i mention that it's much much easier to prepare and much easier to clean afterwards... as well as healthier and tastier... and all you do is set the digital timer and put your food in pyrexes in those multilevel racks... i love it...

    "The numbers are open to a lot of intepritation."

    That may be true, but the correct spelling of interpr*E*tation remains NOT a matter of "interpritation".
