  1. on the other side... on Is Open Source Recession Proof? · · Score: 1

    ...with a recession someone will be more attracted by free software (this time as in 'free beer')

  2. Will they ask me whether I run any websites? on All US Border Crossings Now Require A 'Terrorist Risk Profile' · · Score: 1

    I run a website with a blog in which months ago I wrote a post against the use of taser in the USA. So I came up thinking, should I be aware of this when I'll go the US?

  3. different problems, different solution on On the Widespread Misuse of the Mouse · · Score: 1

    Keyboard is very good for saving time when there are complex applications with lots of different tasks. With more than 100 keys on it, it is not efficient to ask the user to go through menus and submenus. The learning curve is more steep, but the results are better. Mice are good for simple applications with few tasks, and obviously for anything that can take advantage from an axis movement, e.g. graphics. Blender is a good example of a software requiring a hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, and takes full advantage of both.

    I'm always concerned about listings of this kind, since the metrics involved to make the listing is not given or it is not accurate.

  10. 58 mpg on X Prize For a 100-MPG Car · · Score: 2, Informative

    My Fiat Punto MultiJet requires 25km/l (58mpg unless I'm wrong) for its everyday real use, and it was produced in 2002. So I think that the goal is not that far.
