  1. Docbook.. (again) on Tools for Publishing in Multiple Formats? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have seen a variation of this question at least two times posted here. The unanymous answer is usually docbook and in this case is more relevennt, since the document is technical in nature.

    good pick is DocBook: The Definitive Guide written by Norma Walsh (who chairs the Oasis DocBook Technical Committee) and published by O'Reilly that. Of course the book is also available in HTML, PDF and plain text.

  2. Docbook on Writing Good Network Documentation? · · Score: 1

    The format of the documentation is also important. Give docbook a try if you haven't already. Concentrate on the content.

  3. Simple: Pay for it on Which Webmail Service Do You Use? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Its not that expensive. You can get a decent hosting for 5 bucks a month just for POP3 mail. Or for 10 bucks with IMAP. I have just settled (after trying jumpline, vservers and others over the years) with dreamhost.com, just because of webmail and specially IMAP, which many hosts tend to avoid.

    This is a personal opinion. Pick another host if you like, but pay for one. Much better than free.

  4. Inexpensive? on Hacking the Actiontec 56k Modem/Gateway · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you dont need bells a whistles a 56k modem for more than 50+ bucks seems a bit pricey. There are plenty of linux "compatible" modems for less than 30 bucks.

  5. One of the scientist's homepage on GM Yeast Produces Human Protein · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can find more info on Tillman Grengross, the only scientist mentioned in the article, at his faculty homepage at Dartmouth.

  6. Dont stare.... on Cubicle Etiquette? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seriously. If you are not going to talk to somebody, dont stare at their work area without a reason.

    People already feel without privacy without the looking.

  7. More info on the author... on Designing Virtual Worlds · · Score: 5, Informative
    Since the topic is interesting to me I did a quick search on his name. This is part of the information of the author that can be found in the detail of the book:
    Richard Allan Bartle, Ph.D., co-wrote the first virtual world, MUD ("Multi-User Dungeon"), in 1978, thus being at the forefront of the online gaming industry from its very inception. A former university lecturer in Artificial Intelligence, he is an influential writer on all aspects of virtual world design and development. As an independent consultant, he has worked with almost every major online gaming company in the U.K. and the U.S. over the past 20 years. Richard lives with his...
  8. Just vietnam? on Vietnam-Based Shooters - A Suitable Topic? · · Score: 1

    Every violence related game arguably has very bad taste. There is always someone who will be offended.

  9. if you are into this .... on Masters of Doom · · Score: 4, Informative

    ..kind of "archeological" gaming you can always read the pretty decent The Ultimate History of Video Games

  10. 100 a month ? on Best Cell Phone Service for GPRS? · · Score: 1

    That is expensive. Well, I was under the impression that cell phone rates were cheap in the US. I remember watching ads for "4000 minutes for 40 USD". Rates in Mexico are just crazy. You get 75 minutes for around 35 USD with no SMS. You need to pay 8 dollars more for that, plus 10 USD for 1MB of GPRS.

    There is an old discussion about gprs rates in esato

  11. Re:Go to your local computer superstore... on Simple Windows Backup to CD/DVD? · · Score: 1

    Yes, you are right. A friend bought this last week for around 56 bucks at amazon (boxed, plus shipping) or around 70 USD at its homepage for the ESD download

  12. Save a buck....(or more!)... on Absolute OpenBSD · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Amazon: $27.97
    Barne$ and Noble 37.95

  13. Seasons DVDs ? on One Last New Episode of Futurama · · Score: 1

    I tried searching for the full seasons on DVD, but I could only find volumes of episodes, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (not yet released).

  14. Re:Pricing on The Career Programmer · · Score: 1

    You are right. BN generally is more expensive.

    BN: $29.95
    Amazon : $20.97

  15. Some Prices for the interested on Beginning Java Objects · · Score: 2, Informative

    Barnes and noble: $35.99
    Amazon: $31.49

  16. In case someone really wants it on Linksys Makes Wireless Play For Gamers · · Score: 1

    Amazon has it for $69.98, but to be honest I have been dissapointed by all this wifi thing. Nothing but problems in the 3 offices I visit regularly and 2 friends houses. Good old cables seem to do the thing just great.
