  1. Author of Article Got it Wrong? on Global Dimming · · Score: 1, Informative
    Ohmura's results suggested that levels of solar radiation striking the Earth's surface had declined by more than 10% in three decades.

    Not a reduction in actual light, but in "Solar Radiation". Solar Radiation includes UV which has been going steadily down since CFC's were banned (in the 60's?). The hole in the ozone is even starting to repair itself!!!!
  2. Re:America's Army on Multiplayer Linux Games · · Score: 1

    America's Army requires slighly more strategy than the typical hold down the trigger while wildly spinning in circles while jumping games. So you're right, if you're into that sort of thing its not a good game. But if you're into actually thinking ahead, its a great game!

    Yes, it was the only way I could degrade Darl satifactorly.

    America's Army would be a great game to play in your Office LAN party! Especially since its available on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.

  6. Darl in Top 25? on SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 Review · · Score: 1

    SCO.com is claiming Darl was listed as one of the Top 25 execs in CRN magazine. I have a subscription to CRN and he dosen't appear anywhere in the Top 25. Can anybody back me up?

    SCO delivered one million sheets of paper to IBM and is claiming that is all the judge required them to do.

    The Story did break after the market closed. Expect bigger drops when it reopens.

    They better be careful or SCO may sue the judge.
    I think thats what they meant by filing a complaint on copyright violations.

    Looking to the long run is why IBM got involved in Linux in the first place. Internal memos suggest that IBM is aggressively trying to migrate 100% of their hardware to Linux, even though they themselves believe it won't be completely ready for at least another 5 years.

    Half a Kilometer?!?! Half a Kilometer?!?! As a "dumb" American, I still know that a Kilometer is WELL under a mile. Outside Elwood, Nebraska there was a tower that stood 1.2 miles high from 1966 to 1972. Do you have ANY idea how much racket something 1.2 miles high makes when it falls over?!?!?!?! I still feel sorry for that poor cow. Rest in peace Bessie.

  14. Re:Who actually still uses amigas? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    I see everyone talking about their Amiga's running 68K processors. And then everyone else bad-mouthing those 68K processors. I think most people are failing to realize that the thread is referring to an Amiga that tops out at a 933MHz G4!!! Thats a bit faster than a 50MHz 68060.
