  1. ChemTool on Building a Linux Computer Lab for Schools? · · Score: 1

    ChemTool ( available from http://ruby.chemie.uni-freiburg.de/~martin/chemtoo l/) is a good one to have for educational purposes; it should be installed by default, but also make sure kalzium is available... RW

  2. Re:Am I missing something? on Microsoft Blocking Wine Users From Downloads Site · · Score: 1

    Because you don't want an unpatched Windows system exposed to the internet? Why would you post before thinking? RW

  3. Re:What a wonderful idea - government regulation.. on Torvalds on the Linux Security Process · · Score: 1

    That's just great - let's get the government involved. Can you name ONE thing that government has done more efficiently and more economically than the private sector? RW

  4. Re:cdrecord/k3b fixed? on Stable Linux Kernel 2.6.10 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Still not working here - the only mention of 'cdrecord' in the changelog is this: [PATCH] Permit LOG_SENSE and LOG_SELECT in SG_IO command table This patch adds LOG_SENSE as a read-ok command. cdrecord-prodvd uses this. I also added LOG_SELECT as write-ok as this seems to fit in as well.

  5. Could it be... on AOL Plans A Standalone Browser · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could it be that AOL wants to get people used to tabbed browsing to the point where they can't live without it, and then switch them over to an AOL-branded Firefox with the next upgrade? Yeah, yeah, it's not likely, but it's an idea...

  6. Cleanslate on Inside an Adware Company · · Score: 1

    We use a program called Cleanslate from Fortres in the computer lab (and on some teacher computers) at my school. Combined with limited user permissions for all accounts, you'll cut your support time down to almost nothing...
    RW

  7. Aspirin = salicylic acid? on Excel Registered as Trademark, 19 Years Late · · Score: 1

    Actually, aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, not just salicylic acid...

  8. Sounds familiar... on Ray Kurzweil On IT And The Future of Technology · · Score: 1

    "In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles -- micro-robots -- has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive. It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour. Every attempt to destroy it has failed. And we are the prey." From "Prey" by Michael Crichton
