    RTFA.. in the beginning he had problems installing programs on the PC, and he had to ask a guy for help... don't you think that it would hinder progress of his project if he had to use linux, and find another guy to help him... im not to sure there are to many tech savy people hanging around a region in vietnam, where they can't afford a 30 k endoscope.

    off topic.. sort of...

  5. If black programmers made better games on Drawing Minorities Into Gaming · · Score: 1

    there would be more black programmers.

    The industry is driven by money not anything else. If games developed by black programmers were better at developing programs for the black audience, it would mean more money for the companies. And that would lead to more black programmers. Same goes for hispanics etc. etc. etc. etc.

  6. Re:No OSX on a Dell... on First Look at Apple's Intel Developer Macs · · Score: 1

    Apple's System Profiler reports the graphics card as an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 800. Inside the Intel Mac, DVI support for the video card is provided by a Silicon Image Orion ADD2-N Dual Pad x16. Oddly, neither Silicon Image's Web site nor Google turns up much information on the latter card, the latter yielding a single link to a recent Dell support forum posting. The motherboard on the system is unmarked except for the word Barracuda. The system's internals are housed inside a case similar to Apple's Power Mac G5 systems but with a different configuration of fans.

    doens't sound all that much like "off the shelf" kind of hardware..

    Luke: A farm buy whos greates acheivment is fixing droids and picking up power convertes in a near by city, and playing with his friend. Mostly shooting creatures in the desert. Not all that interesting, i just cant see how he is going to make this carater work in the tv screen week after week.

    IANASWF, so some facts might be wrong, but i have seen all the movies.

  8. Re:Other Nano-enabled Drugs Already Available on Nanotech Trojan Horse That Kills Cancer · · Score: 1

    it is far from the same concept...

    when administring taxol using this new method you can give a 50 % higher dose. This is ofcourse great, but you also expose other cells in the body to a higher concentration aswell, eg. blood cells, endothelial cells and hair cells. Which gives the typical chemotherapy side effects.

    When using the new method, you can specificilly hit the cancer cells, instead of giving 50 % higher concentration, you can give 100.000 % higher concentration(according to the article). Thus you can spare the rest of the cells in the body by giving a lower dosage, and avoid alot of side effects. If this holds 2 % of what it promises i still think its brilliant...

    nurse smurse...

    Abraxane is a fancy new package for a well known drug (taxol) it has nothing to do with the treatment in the article. What it does is reduce the complications with taxol treament, but not the efficiency. It allows for the dose to be increased, and thereby is more efficient

    The treatment in the article is something quite difrent, it increases the concentration in the target/cancer cells. This reduces the side effects of the treatment. Its new and it is brilliant.

    Yes my spelling sucks... but i have a dictaphone..

  21. Re:Self interest (What is the Cost?) on A Day with an ISP Spam Investigator · · Score: 4, Insightful

    im no sysadmin or anything.

    but if its 30 $ per day, its 10k per year.

    further more you have to spend time and energy you have to spend sorting the mail. this is, ive heard, quite expensive in CPU time.

    The best filters catch 99.9% of spam and only make 1 mistake in a thousand. ( i don't even think that they are that good).

    1000 emplyoees gets 5 mails aday for a year thats 1.8 million mails, thats 1800 mails per year that goes down the drain. im not sure what that costs, but some of the are prolly quite expensive.

    This is not absolute facts nor close, but my point is that the price of spam is more than the price of reciving spam.
