  1. Isn't the "D" for Demarcation??? on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, I've always been told that D-Day stood for "Demarcation Day", at least as relates to the invasion of Normandy.

  2. Cheap Glassware on Chemistry Sets for Adults? · · Score: 1

    The cheapest glassware I have found online is

    http://www.quarkglass.com/index.html

    and the best chemical source was (not up at the time of this writing) is

    http://www.sciencealliance.com

    Be prepared to pay extra for the shipping of dangerous chemicals, and in some states (Texas) you may be restricted on what you can buy glassware-wise so check your local laws. It's been a while since I ordered from Science Alliance, so they may be out of business. In any case get a kit with 24/40 joint size so you can do real experiments. Avoid the microscale stuff.

  3. another misrepresentation of martial arts on Review: 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the movie is probably great, but I hope it doesn't start another craze of people wanting to learn kung-fu. Learn a martial art that'll do you some good. - overflow (yah yah... I know.. offtopic)

  5. Re:Dell on Water-Cooled Laptops From Toshiba · · Score: 1

    Nope... there's water in there. Dell has been doing this for years... I was kind of surprised to see the article not mention this. - overflow

  6. Why use the Internet? on Nifty Kitchen Appliances · · Score: 2


    Sounds like a good idea, but why use the Internet to download instructions based on the bar code?

    Why not just encode the recipe into the barcode itself?

    Seriously, how much data can the recipe consist of? High. 3 minutes.

    This would eliminate privacy concerns.

  7. Open Source - Schmopen Source on Slashdot is Giving Away $100,000 · · Score: 2

    Seriously, I agree with the other posts. What happened to Slashdot the news organization? I'm getting sick of Slashdot the open source advocate.

    Not that I'm against open source, but you guys have gone way off course. Suck.com's parody was right on target when one of the headlines read "Linux possibly defamed somewhere"

    "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." Not anymore.

  8. Uh huh.. on Gigabyte Modems over Electric Lines · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's really possible... where would the routers go? You can't have just one big net segment. - overflow
