  1. Re:A day late and a dollar short... on Japanese Auto Makers Teaming Up To Create Standard OS · · Score: 1, Informative

    Mércédès was (according to Wikipedia) the daughter of late 19th century entrepreneur and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft board member Emil Jellinek.

  2. Yay! Zenith's back in the PC business on Microsoft to Sell PCs, Starting in India · · Score: 0

    Oh, my Z-100 was the first pc I had to myself, after moving to college. Remember Galahad?

  3. Aren't colors just visual impression? on Apple Sued Over 'Lacking' Macbook Display · · Score: 0

    What's the difference between a color and the appearance of a color?

  4. Re:"Vista's" on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 1

    It's not 'Vistata'? 'Vistae'?

  5. Re:How fitting on Zune Sales Continue to Weaken · · Score: 1

    That's how Dick Tracy listens to music. The three speed wrist phonograph.

  6. Re:OT complaint about “ID”. on The Case for OpenID · · Score: 1

    There's some disagreement about the origin of OK. I think Woodrow Wilson used to say 'okeh' was from an Indian word.

  7. Re:Freelancers Union? on Health Insurance for the Self-Employed? · · Score: 1

    Is there a way to elevate this to 'actual helpful information'?
    The Freelancer's Union is looking for places to expand to. If you're not in New York, drop them a line through their web form. It won't solve your problem immediately, but it'll connect you to problem solvers.

  8. The Scientific Debate ended--others fade only now on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    That link's to a story on Christopher Monckton. RealClimate.org takes some pain to deflate the climate change deniers who get a fair amount of press, and they address Monckton here

  9. Diagnosed as a narcoleptic online? on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 1

    Can I go get diagnosed with various diseases and get prescriptions without going to the doctor? Where?

  10. Re:Plutonium? Unlikely on Top Ten Geek Girls · · Score: 1

    Really? If you accelerate plutonium to 88 miles/hour and hit it with lightning, it goes back in time by itself, flux capacitor or no.

  11. Re:Real geeks only please on Top Ten Geek Girls · · Score: 1

    I think the point of all these comments is, it's not.

  12. Real Climate on Global Warming Debunked? · · Score: 1

    I didn't read the article, but I'll comment. Does that make me a real /.er? http://www.realclimate.org/ is a great resource for this sort of thing -- it's a platform for climate scientists to respond to media refutations of global warming. Each of the sources for any specific charges Monkton makes have probably been covered in the archives. hth!

  13. Re:it wasn't a failed project on FBI Conducts Feasibility Study on Project Sentinel · · Score: 1

    I knew there was a reason I avoided government service.

  14. They care. on RFID: The Next Internet? · · Score: 1

    You can care where products you've already shipped are for a number of reasons. Here are two:
    (1) Proof of delivery: in the same way that RFID makes 'cycle count' so much easier, it makes proof of delivery a snap. Instead of arguing over whether 38 or 40 boxes arrived, you know which boxes arrived.
    (2) Reverse logistics. If you need to recall something, or if you want to validate that a return is on its way, you can tell where it is in the downstream supply chain, and validate that it's coming back.
