  1. iPad Mini on State Dept. Cancels $16.5M Kindle Contract · · Score: 1

    Another confirmation that iPad Mini is about to come out?

  2. It was me! on Project To Turn Classical Scores Into Copyright-Free Music Completed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I invested in this. Great idea to set music free. Enjoy the downloads.

  3. Leverage on Australian Court Blocks Sales of Samsung Galaxy Tablet · · Score: 1

    With all these vendors tripping over each others patents it will likely result in a bunch of cross licensing.

  4. Lotus Symphony on Where Do I Go Now That Oracle Owns OpenOffice.org? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Latest version of Lotus Symphony is yet another fork and it has the best Excel compatibility of all the ooo variants. It is free but not open source however (look at SISSL license conditions).

  5. Show me the money on Dedicated Halo 2 Fans Keep Multiplayer Alive · · Score: 1

    The obvious explanation is that you don't make any money maintaining infrastructure for a 7.5 year old game.

  6. Re:P&P is exhorbitant on Traveling With Tom Bihn's Checkpoint Flyer · · Score: 1

    I don't disagree. I'm going to organise something via a friend in the US as my keenness is only a little diminished. ;)

  7. P&P is exhorbitant on Traveling With Tom Bihn's Checkpoint Flyer · · Score: 1

    I was looking at the Imago bag for $90 which looked very nice until I got to checkout and $55 for UPS shipping was added to Australia! Bzzrt! No sale.

  8. Aliens on Smart Immigrants Going Home · · Score: 1

    To quote southpark goobacks: They took our jobs! http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/104259 Ironic that people are now concerned about foreigners leaving the country.

  9. Re:It can TOTALLY be removed. on EC Considering Removing Internet Explorer From Windows · · Score: 1

    If you can use windowsupdate then you have the IE web core installed (which is IE for all intensive purporegardless of whether you think IE is not installed.

  10. Re:It shouldn't. on Good Open Source, Multi-Platform, Secure IM Client? · · Score: 1

    Actually I was suggesting that this was a nonsense example because the infrastructure for sametime would not allow all that junk to get through in the first place. Academically it is conceivable but not a real life scenario.

  11. Re:Sametime on Good Open Source, Multi-Platform, Secure IM Client? · · Score: 1

    Gee you can send someone 256MB of data via an IM client (without the server backend barfing and in how many hours) and crash it? Gee no other software would have that problem.

  12. Quality dev time on Hans Reiser Leads Police To Nina's Body · · Score: 1

    At least he'll have plenty of time to finish reiser 4 now.

  13. I did it for $90 on Sneak Peek at Microsoft's WorldWide Telescope · · Score: 1

    And in terms of user experience, this is different from any of the leading planetarium software in what way?
