  1. Re:CeBIT 2006 Demo on Chinese Company Produces $150 Linux PC · · Score: 1

    The Municator comes with something called RedOffice. The video link in the grandparent demonstrates it -- it looks like a rebranded OpenOffice.

  2. Re:Contribution made to OpenSSH or OpenBSD? on Mozilla Foundation Donates $10K to OpenSSH · · Score: 1
    What you want is much like saying that you want to donate to Thunderbird, but not have the money go to the Firefox crew, as you only use Thunderbird.
    The difference here is, the same people who work on OpenBSD work on OpenSSH. I doubt that a significant proportion of the people working on Thunderbird also work on Firefox.
  3. Re:Are you kidding? on On Apple vs Apple · · Score: 1

    And an Apple loss.

  4. Re:It would have seemed more logical... on Brits To Crash Test a Scramjet · · Score: 1

    No doubt they'll also be collecting data from the ground as well. (Who says all the data has to be sent from the scramjet engine?)

  5. Re:What are you smoking? on Adults Love Video Games · · Score: 1

    My (high school) class time goes from 8:30 to 3:15. Add transportation time, multiply by 5 days/week, and you get almost 40 hours/week. Add to that homework, and you can easily end up having less free time than the average 40-hour-per-week employee. With that said, though, I can usually find about 15 hours a week for gaming.

  6. Re:Why not leave it to the market? on IRS to Allow Tax Preparers to Sell Your Info? · · Score: 1

    You would sell your personal information for $10?

  7. Re:Big PC + Fancy Virus/cancer stuff = nature pape on Supercomputer Performs Simulation of Virus · · Score: 1

    No matter how you define a billion, 50 billionths of a second would not be 50 femtoseconds (it could either be 50 picoseconds or 50 nanoseconds). Besides, "billion" generally refers to 10^9 in most English-speaking countries, including the UK. In particular, since the article and the research are both from the United States, it is unlikely that it is anything but 50 nanoseconds.

    > Winamp is the Internet Explorer of mp3 players.

    Is it not Windows Media Player?
