  1. Angry AT&T Customers May Disrupt Service on Angry AT&T Customers May Disrupt Service · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    if they want to disrupt service they have to get the dates right - friday and the 19th are two separate days

  2. Acoustic Black Hole on First Acoustic Black Hole Created · · Score: 3, Funny

    now we know how they made the "cone of silence" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_of_Silence

  3. Usenet on AT&T Dropping Usenet Netnews; Low-Cost Alternatives? · · Score: 1

    i have been using motzarella for several months now. i started when some of the other big isp's began dropping usenet. my isp still carries it but now i have a back-up plan. http://news.motzarella.org/

  4. Re: Brilliant Or Dangerous? on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    if he is really that valuable, a sensible solution would be to hire an assistant whose job is to run interference and document code. if those were the only duties his assistant had, the net would still be a big plus.

  5. Re:Are you kidding?? on Should Organic Chemistry Be a Premed Requirement? · · Score: 1

    my ex is a RN and i remember her taking organic chemistry. anybody who has the responsibility of dispensing drugs should have some background and some considerable math skills. otherwise "medical accidents" become more frequent. i would hope that someone i am trusting for my medical care knows a little more than the basics.

  6. electronic books on The eBook, Mark 2 · · Score: 1

    what i think the greatest use for ebooks will be in the nature of school textbooks. load a semester's worth of books into the device. at the end of the semester archive them somewhere for reference and load the next set. e will not totally replace paper but has its place. i recently loaded plucker and zlib into an old palm pilot and downloaded several books from project gutenberg. i find i read as much on this as i do paper. its handy, it keeps track of my page for me, it's searchable. its not perfect (my wish list could get quite large) but its limitations are reasonable.
