  1. Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse on US Youth Have Serious Mental Health Issues · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Only if the program copies itself into the outp on Open Source Licenses For Academic Work? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. IANAL, but I reckon running the program counts as "digital performance" of the work and, as such, clause 4.b. kicks in: "to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work" it might not quite get to "cite our paper", but it's pretty close.

  3. Re:But is it OSI Certified open source software? N on Open Source Licenses For Academic Work? · · Score: 1

    I don't know. This one: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ seems to be OSI approved. Provided the authors state what attribution they require (in the case in point: "requiring any published article that uses results of the software to cite our paper"), the line: "You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor." seems to be cover such a requirement.

    Psystars and Ybruthars just get along?

    In Soviet Russia, you protect DRM from virus laden mp3s... wait a minute, isn't that what the US DMCA does?

    BSOD

    Boss: Why did the arm shut itself down?!!
    Operator: Ahhh.. errr.. it had shut down to save itself?

    There, fixed it for you... even if the lander is using VxWorks.

  10. Re:Video uses on 1TB Blu-Ray Compatible Optical Disc Announced · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's hard to imagine a single movie on a 1 TB disc.
    Duke Nukem Forever will require three of these. There, fixed it for you.

    Q: Why is American Beer like making love in a canoe?

    No. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

    The PUN is the lowest form of humor.

  17. Re:GOffice? on Gates on Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The interesting thing is that supposedly Google is interested in the power of OpenOffice. This could maybe lead to online creation of office documents, emailing them through GMail, and storing them in Google webspace. It starts to kill the use of Windows apps.

    What you want is "Pipe Dream" http://innovexpo.itee.uq.edu.au/2003/exhibits/s358 144/, a final year engineering project.

  19. Re:great result, but not really a "discovery" on Nuclear Fusion Discovered · · Score: 1

    ...since you still have to put in more energy than comes out of it (like every other fusion technology thus far).

    Except the H bomb, I expect.

  22. Puerto Rico + The Castle on Fun Tabletop Games? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of multi-player (>2) games Puerto Rico and Settlers are the best IMHO. Elfenland, another Game of the Year winner from Germany, like Settlers, is OK but not up on the other two. For two-player, I recommend The Castle --- a two-player version of Carcassone.
