  1. Basic physics crash course on Book Recommendations For Maths To Astrophysics? · · Score: 1

    Goldstein/Poole/Safko - Classical Mechanics
    Kittel/Kroemer - Thermal Physics
    Bransden/Joachain - Physics of Atoms and Molecules
    Sakurai - Modern Quantum Mechanics

    Have a good summer!

  2. It's a very old house on Dealing With Dialup · · Score: 0, Troll

    Really, 300-yr old? From 1708 or thereabouts? In Cape Cod? I think not.

  3. Re:As usual, other considerations... on Apple Fixes 'Misleading' Leopard Firewall Settings · · Score: 1

    Hey, adult websites can be fun too. Or so I hear.

  4. Re:Still good... on Thunderbird in Crisis? · · Score: 1

    > My biggest issue with it is that in Linux it has a 2GB limit per mail folder.

    Mine, on Windows, is that moving more than a few 100 messages between folders always crashes the damn thing. 100% CPU, ever increasing memory usage and unresponsive. Then I have to kill it. Fortunately I can use text tools to split the mail stores manually.

  5. Re:Some recommendations on Bringing Science and Math Into Writing? · · Score: 1

    Exactly the titles I wanted to suggest, the ones I remembered reading in high school. I would like to add: popular science journals! Like Scientific American, New Scientist, perhaps National Geographic. I subscribed to the Dutch magazines Kijk and Natuur & Techniek, targeting resp. juniors and seniors in high school.

  6. Re:44.1khz, 16-bit, fits Tchaikovsky, did I RTFA? on The History of the CD-ROM · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope, not Tchaikovsky. The CD was enlarged from 11.5 to 12 cm to be able to fit 74 min of music, the longest known recording of Beethoven's nineth symphony.

  7. False negatives on WGA — Too Many False Positives · · Score: 1

    Since, according to its name, the tool's goal is to identify genuine copies of Windows, finding a pirated copy is a negative. When that copy is really genuine, that's called a false negative.

  8. Earlier British sitcom/drama about people in IT! on 'The IT Crowd' UK Sit-com · · Score: 1

    Few years ago. I'm desperately trying to remember (and google) the series name. It was set in a web developers firm, small office really, looking for big investors. One of the managers (the other was a woman, they got it on of course) may have been Jack Davenport, I'm not sure. One actor I do remember: Jason Lance, but it's not on his imdb sheet, is it? I'm sure he was in it because I later recognized him in Absolute Power as sort of the same character: always ready to fcuk over a friend (if woman friend then literally, too).

  9. SETI discovery! on New Uranus Moons and Rings Discovered · · Score: 2, Informative

    Known by all /.ers for seti@home, it was the SETI Institute that made the discovery in cooperation with NASA.

  10. Re:Linus Torvalds? on Theo de Raadt gets 2004 FSF Award · · Score: 1
    what about Linus Torvalds? Is there a reason he didnt get this award?
    Why did Scorcese never get the Oscar?
  11. Re:My Reaction. on Federal Obscenity Rule Nixed In Internet Porn Case · · Score: 1
    Fuck yeah!
    2.3 MB
  12. Re:Or on simPC - Your Grandparents' New Computer? · · Score: 1

    In the Netherlands and Belgium, the Mac mini costs 520 euro

    No. Netherlands: 499, Belgium: 519.

  13. Re:I just installed it, and will be rebooting on Microsoft Releases Malicious Software Removal Tool · · Score: 1

    It must run, look for spyware on your machine, and then remove itself.

    Brilliant.

  14. Obscure country on The King William's College 2004 Quiz · · Score: 1

    Cool, a whole Dutch section (7, in which town).

  15. Re:Subscribers killed it - Alek comments on that! on Alek's Christmas Lights Webcam is Back · · Score: 1

    A little off-topic, and sorry to nag: you keep talking about "Distributed Denial of Service". However, the denial is not distributed, the attack is. So it's always a "DDoS attack".

    Good luck on the project.

  16. A ball on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    To play with on the street with your friends.

  17. Re:Overlords on A New Species Of Giant Ape? · · Score: 1

    Hey! I claim prior art.

  18. Re:whoa...actually went back and RTFA... on A New Species Of Giant Ape? · · Score: 1

    Gorilla-panzee Chimpzilla, of course!
