  1. Re:Where do they go after they return home on Mice In Space · · Score: 1

    Concidering that the research is about studing bone density, I don't give much chance for the survival of the mouse once they get back. I would imagine the most accurate way to measure bone density would require the bones to be err... isolated from the rest of the tissue. The bone density could then be compared to a control group on earth.

  2. Another chance for linux. on More Looks At Far-Off 'Longhorn' · · Score: 1
    We've got two years to infiltrate every market possible. Do you think we would be ready for a head-on OS war in two years?

    I that time we would need too...
    1. Improve every area of linux possible
    2. Keep getting more and more driver support, including providing very easy ways for hardware manufactures to write drivers
    3. Get a decent client base to back us up
    4. Produce some really inovative products that users will really want.
    5. Have kick-ass releases ready on time for OS war!

  3. Computer Noise? What? on A Practical Approach To Shushing Your PC · · Score: 3, Funny
    Computer noise solved in 3 easy steps.

    1. Get the latest tunes from your faviourite record company/piracy source.
    2. Turn the volume up.
    3. Press play.

  4. Re:Can you say "slashdot effect"? on ISWC'03 Gadget Show Videos · · Score: 1
    This is a good thing... We are about to witness another experiment of

    Bit Torrent Vs Slashdot

    People will look at the Div too because there is no content on the website.

    I'm rooting for slashdot (yes I know, the more people on the torrent, the faster it should go, yeah yeah yeah)

  5. Problems with managers? on Germany Publishes Windows to Linux Migration Guide · · Score: 1
    There are a lot of non-tech managers out there that are a more than a little scared of the idea of free software. Add in a little FUD and a scary letter from SCO and who can really blame them.

    The solution... don't get into the free (speech/beer) argument at all. Simply present the costs/benefits analysis of a linux boxed set (hey, you get some support and a pretty box as well) vs the M$ product.

    Don't forget to include a decent security section in your review :-)

  6. Not guilty, but... on Aussie Music Industry Sues ISP Over Filesharing · · Score: 2, Interesting
    While I don't agree that ISP's are responsible for what their subscribers do, they don't exactly discourage piracy.

    Sure there are clauses in the Terms and Conditions when you sign up, but some ISP's will advertise how many MP3's you can download in there usage caps. Sure it could be for legitimate MP3s, but really, what do you expect a user to do if there told they could download 300 MP3's a month! on the [X] plan.
