  1. Lest we forget the mother of computing... on Women in the Open Source/Free Software Communities? · · Score: 1

    Not directly a linux user, she did foresee and have a fair hand in creating the whole concept of the "difference engine" or computer as we call it. Who is this.........Lady Ada Byron-Lovelace. Learn more about the lady at: http://www.cs.yale.edu/~tap/Files/ada-bio.html Really, we owe a lot to her and the other unsung female heroines of computing

  2. 4 to 6 weeks per hand on Carpal Tunnel Surgery? · · Score: 1


    One of my friends had it recently and it put him out for like two and a half months.
    They cut you open (about two inches along the wrist) and then they scrape the build-ups off of the tendons. Sound nasty enough, they only do one hand at a time so you're not completely disabled. So you have to go through it twice and wait four to six weeks for each hand to heal.

    Oh, did I mention that the scars look like you tried to off yourself.

  3. 1 em serprised on Microsoft Plays Linux Games at Work · · Score: 1

    I thunked Mikersoft was smrd.

    Seriously, you would think that Microsoft would just bribe some experienced users of Linux to sit in with the new ones. I am not surprised however that Microsoft is scoping Linux. I wonder how long it will be before they rip it off.

  4. Sony is in a unique position on Sony to Release Digital Walkman · · Score: 1

    They're one of the few companies that spans all areas affected by Mp3. They have a record company, they make audio hardware, and they make digital equipment. I love the vaioaogh;x, I wish I had the cash.

    If anyone can bring this all together, and I know SDMI can't, I think it will be Sony.
