This article for me is the last straw when it comes to slashdot. The occasional duplicate I could live with. Then we started having articles from The Onion. Now we have articles from a crackpot website. Slashdot has just been deleted from my bookmarks.
Although the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment were placed there by Apollos 11, 14 and 15 astronauts, the Soviets did the same thing with their unmanned Lunokhod 2 rover. If you talk to your local hoax idiot, my guess is they will tell you the United States got their's onto the Moon using unmanned probes.
Of course the Soviets actually provide the most compelling evidence that we did go to the Moon - their utter and complete silence. It seems strange that at the height of the Cold War, the United States biggest enemy would be completely silent and not say a word. You would have thought that if it is so obvious from the photographic and video record that we didn't go to the Moon, that the evil commies would have been all over it. But there is nothing.
Actually the edit link is still there and if you edit the old version, it becomes the current version. Wikipedia is set up this was so as to make it easy to revert vandalism.
Touch-Typing is not a necessary skill according to Southland Girls High School in Invercargill, New Zealand. My sister was in the 'smarter' classes and the school decided that these girls could not to subjects that were deemed below them - typing, cooking etc.
To me this seemed liked the craziest thing considering that the girls you were excluding from typing were the ones you also thought were most likely to go onto higher education and need the ability to type
I go to the University of Canterbury. According to the IT department website they run 6 seperate computer labs of with 366 PCs and 62 Macs. This does not include the Computer Science dept which run their own labs with 130 'Intel Pentium-4 workstations' running Red Hat. They also have another 35 PCs (WinXP) and 5 Macs. The Maths dept also have some of their own computers which run Linux, Unix and Windows.
I'm sure how hard the University by recent virii but as I have my own computer which I tend to keep up to date with patches, I've never had any problems connected to the network. Only annoying thing is that they charge me 7.5c per MB for international traffic.
Not really related to the story but a couple of years back the New Zealand Stock Exchange changed there name to NZX. It then came to light that there was already something in New Zealand called NZX - a hardcore pornography magazine. In the end it was decided that there would be little confusion about which was which.
