  1. long-term.. short-term on Dan Bricklin on Software That Lasts 200 Years · · Score: 2, Funny

    hey, all this babbling about long-term and short-term reminds me of xterm. Soon xterm will be 200 years old. Or at least sooner than almost anything else. (except for getty ;)

  3. site not working on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: 2, Interesting

    hello

    I'm writing this email, because I wanted to check odeon's cinema program. And I find out that I cannot access the website! It is obviously broken, the only thing I can see is a picture http://www.odeon.co.uk/Odeon/img/home.jpg and nothing more.

    I hope that you will fix the site as fast as possible. Remember that by such a way you lose big number of customers.

    PS: I really would like to send to you this complaint (so you can be aware of this problem), but I can't. I cannot find your email address, because the site is not working.

    Personally I would want to be on the rocket that had a lower percentage of failure and thus would want the American space suit, but perhaps I'm biased. ;)

    are you aware that Energia, the rocket which evolved after all this "try to get failure" type of development has very low rate of failures? Oh well - it's around 99% of succesfull launches.

    I can't google it right now. But if you want to check - start here and there.

    you can indeed redirect output stream to file as mplayer handles real. From mplayer manual:

    In fact I used this option once or twice to record movies from internet to my hdd.

  22. strange on Physicist Loses Degree for Data Falsification · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm doing a PhD in civil engineering field - numerical simulations of behaviour of concrete and reinforced concrete. And also I've done a lot of research in granular materials field.

    I think that I'll never understand what is the purpose for data falsification. Every, I say EVERY, scientist knows, that experiment that yields unexpected/bad results is a GOOD experiment. It gives new insight into how things work, it forces you to revise your model and change it. It leads you to change your model into a better one, and also it helps you in learning how to conduct scientifically correct experiments. Without failures and mistaken indeas humanity wouldn't learn anything.

    Lust for changing results moves science BACKWARD instead of forward. is of course childish, on no-one benefits from that, even the lier does not benefit.

    sorry about the rant, but I was really upset, and had to say that.
