I've seen the previous article too. That one was about IE team getting together with FF team to collaborate on the RSS icon.
This article is about the result of the collaboration: IE team agreed to adapt FF's RSS icon.
While this result may be trivial, it could've been that they didn't reach an agreement on the icon, or they could've even created a new one.
This article is the result of the actions that were described in the previous article. I don't see how this is dupe.
While I agree with you that mixing patriotism with science is a Bad Thing(tm), I wish everyone realizes that even THAT ARTICLE is just another media hype.
A national scale project was scraped because of a "research ethic" issue, which many people even on/. question the importance. All the government funding has been pulled, Dr. Hwang resigned from all the titles, and the future development of an entire branch of science has been slowed down, just because an idiot television station wanted to get their names out.
Lots of people got angry and started to put flamebaits on the news websites and their blogs. And in the middle of all these trolling, somebody shoted out "traitor!". What does BBC do? Publish it! Creating turmoil is their job. That's what a broad casting companies do. Don't get suckered in.
Amen brother. Just a rant, but to shed some light on the current computing environment in SK, SK gov checks the speed of the internet connection ramdomly and requires full refund to all the customers if it isn't as fast as advertised.
Yes, gov stepping into corporate arena is a bad thing, but it seems to be keeping their Starcraft players happy enough.
The author is asking a wrong question. Choosing a font is not a one-size-fit-all matter. Different websites have different purposes. You need different fonts for different occasions. It's almost as if the author is asking what the best clothing style is.
Dear author, consult your local art school and take typography classes. People make living out of designing and choosing fonts.

I actually made a eight page manual for my parents with four chapters:
1. Name of the equipments
2. How to watch TV
3. How to watch video
4. How to watch DVD
Ever since then, they stopped calling me everyday to ask how to watch TV.
Give me a break, you don't want to run a real benchmark, you want to run something that will tell you what you have already decided upon is the best.
And your whinning helps because..?
He didn't claim to be a true scientist. He didn't claim that this result is what MySQL developers or PostgreSQL developers will die over.
It's the Thanksgiving weekend, and one of the readers want to do something fun with his spare machines.
In fact, he's trying to run a test scenario that I happened to be interested in.
Unless you can go help him on the project itself personally, STFU and go back to your corner.
Nobody needs a destructive criticism.
Writer, thank you for doing this for me. I've been meaning to do the same for quite some time but I haven't found the time nor the facility.
Whatever you do, keep up the good work!
My father bought a small office building a year ago, and I was in charge of meeting the tech-demands.
One day, we realized that the phone bill was still being issued under the previous owner's name. So I called SBC for a change of ownership.
Change of ownership of a telephone line. Could it be done without the owner's SSN? You bet.
I simply told them that the previous owner left for Korea and it is impossible to contact him. They asked no further questions and changed the ownership to my father's name on the spot.
No talking to manager, no more questions, nothing.
Now, I WAS talking to a Korean representative, and they realize that some of the people aren't used to the American SSN culture. Not only it would be tough to explain the entire American-culture over the phone, but also I didn't see anything else they could do about it at this point either(actually they were almost thankful that I called because we could've simply not paid our bills but not get flagged for it since it's not our ssn). I wouldn't be surprised if they get that kind of requests ten times a day either.
In my case, I was telling the truth(the guy DID leave for Korea for good), but I could clearly see possibilities for abuses.
Try being a member of a minority community. It sometimes helps you to cut through the system.
Pirated copies won't hurt the sales, at least for a while, because only the geeks will download them and try them on their systems.
No Joe Sixpack is going to dare wiping out their Windows to see what OSX on Intel is like.
When enough number of geeks try it for a while and give it okay-to-go approval, then the mom and pops will start buying Macs because now their sons and daughters can provide technical support for their new computers.
I'm here in Korea and the people seem to use the players mostly in the subways and the buses.
In the States where the people use it in the car or perhaps in their work places, the capacity of the storage is a big deal since they may use it for up to 8 hours continuously.
That's certainly not the case for the people here. The average time spent in a bus or the subways is around 30min~1hr, and you don't need anything over a gig for that.
When you don't need the storage, wouldn't you want a flash player that you can put in your pocket along with your cellphone?
I think the US slashdotters would understand the reason behind the development of the new mp3 players when they understand the culture here better.

Can somebody explain it to me how this is a dupe?

So who has the storage space necessary to pull this off?
Gov, with the tax you paid.
Wow.. That's the worst grammar I've ever produced..

My local Wal-Mart already has a McDonald in the store.
MiniDisk is not superior to CD. It was simply more portable, though the cartridge did protect the discs very well.
Ferrari is not superior to Pinto. It was simply spending more gas with a bigger engine, though the engine did provide more naked women.

It's a life style
How do you tell apart the finger prints of Mickey's and Minnie's?
I switch between typing Korean and English hundreds of times a day without any problem.
My roommate switches between qwerty and dvorak at least twice a day(before work, at work, after work) without any problem.
Switching between qwerty and dvorak shouldn't confuse you either.
There were some great shots (and a few disturbing ones)
what? did the photographer follow you to the honeymoon?
