  1. Hmph on Radiation Absorbing Mineral Found In the Arctic · · Score: 1

    Me thinks maybe something smells funny. Is it me? Nope, just this story

  2. Re:Old versions! on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    Well, we should go one step further and say Dos 5 or maybe back to 3.0 or 3.3. Or.. there's nothing like a good minix session hehe.

  3. forgot nmap on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    In my previous post I forgot to mention nmap for *nix. Of course you could bloat it out by adding front ends etc.. but by itself it is perfect for everything I need.

  4. VuePro and vi on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    For Win...Vuepro is an amazing picture viewer. For *nix ....well, vi, of course. Maybe vim but vi does whats needed.

  5. $100.00 credit is NOT $100.00 on Apple Gives $100 Store Credit To iPhone Customers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No one has mentioned it but it is a great move by Jobs, $100.00 "Apple Store Credit" probably costs them $40.00 and in addition it is that incentive mentioned earlier. So,in no way does it cost Apple 100.00 to look like they are meeting Joe "early adopter" halfway.

  6. Re:Browser usage on Firefox Now Serious Threat to IE in Europe · · Score: 1

    It would be a totally irrelevant number. I'm sure there are many, many, myself included, who are forced to use IE at work. Now, the real question would be: If forced to use IE, would you be wiling to wait until home to keep up with /. for the day? Hmm, maybe a well devised plan by the worlds corporate upper management to keep all of us geeks focused on company business while at our company issued keyboards. "Computers ae a lot like Air Conditioners" "They both work great until you start opening Windows"

  7. Re:TI 89 on The Best Graphing Calculator on the Market? · · Score: 1

    However, The ti-89 is NOT allowed for the eit. There are several HPs on the apporoved list as well as some casios. The only problem is if you use the TI, you probably will not be using it in rpg mode. If you are an engineering student, you will then have to buy an approved calculator and learn how to use it all over again. A task not needed as you study for your EIT/FE. Just a thought..

  8. soft tissue, no DNA? on Soft Tissue Discovered In T-Rex Bone · · Score: 1

    I'm a little confused here. They say they have soft tissue, but dna can't survise the 70 mil years. How can they have soft tissue withOUT dna?
