    And the universe of the Foundation Series is becoming a reality: the earth is becoming one big mega-uber-tropolis, a land mass covered in a labyrinthe of buildings that are only navigable with the help of a handheld computer.

  4. The article says on 200-Year-Old Cipher Finally Cracked · · Score: 0

    That the code's creator, Patterson, " estimated that the potential combinations to solve the puzzle was "upwards of ninety millions of millions."

  7. Well, considering on Linux Flourishes In 200-Year-Old Gold Markets · · Score: 0

    Well, considering that the other options are Windows, Solaris, or custom...it's not really that surprising. At least with Linux they know what they are getting into in terms of holes, etc.

  8. iPod? on Microsoft to Launch Zune in EU · · Score: 0, Troll

    "He said the Zune had a 10.2 percent market share in the U.S. in the 30 gigabyte category, "

It introduced new copyright legislation that will bring DMCA-style legislation to Canada (backgrounder and FAQ here but bill still not online). Professor Michael Geist has apparently seen a copy and points out on his blog that while the bill does not go as far as the United States, the proposal is full of new rights for the music industry with precious little for users."
