  3. 70 km on India Targets July/August To Test Its Space Shuttle · · Score: 3, Informative

    Re-entry from only 70 km isn't exactly re-entry. It hasn't even been in space at that height...

  9. Re:Backup? on Ask Slashdot: Version Control For Non-Developers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Which is not a version control system at all. Time Machine does periodic backup once per hour, and only once per hour. Not on each save. Not multi-user. No mod points for you.

  10. OsmAnd on OpenStreetMap.org Gets Routing · · Score: 1

    I'm a happy user of OsmAnd. It can do offline routing, shows which lanes to take, shows POIs and did I mention it is offline? There is a free and a paid version, the difference being the number of maps you can download.
