  1. Re:Stop using PowerPoint. on Book Review: 15 Minutes Including Q&A · · Score: 1

    Won't have a browser installed? Try prezi, it's a flash based web-app. Oh, and they have an app for the bastions of anti-flash, iPad, too. You can export the prezi as a .exe file if you won't have a 'net connection. So you'll only be stuck on locked down computers that won't run executable files and also have no internet connection. In my world that's not many.

  2. Re:"Macedonian civilization" on 4th BC Century Defensive Wall Unearthed · · Score: 1

    I think more like the Welsh with their unintelligable language...

  3. Re:Speak for yourself on Search Engine Privacy Explained · · Score: 1

    try Data Protection Act, since that's what it's called, though you'll still find nothing...

  4. Re:Looks like the Bard screwed that up... on More to the North Star Than Meets the Eye · · Score: 1

    OT, i know, but Caesar was part of the first triumvrate with Crassus and Pompey. Before he took all the power, got killed and destroyed the Republic

  5. Re:I bet on Hayabusa Probe Lands on Asteroid After All · · Score: 1

    I don't recall the Wright Brothers or Lindbergh discovering any lands at all - unless we're all going to live in the sky somewhere.

    The achievement of each of those pinoeers was in technology and pushing the limit of what everyone thought was possible. I think we should consider all possible ways of pushing our current envelope a bit further, the breakthrough we're waiting for may not come from the direction any of us are gunning for.

  6. Re:Only a good thing to collude against rambus on BusinessWeek Examines the Rambus Legal Saga · · Score: 1

    It harmed the status quo. Began the process of destroying it. "Status quo" is probably a better reading of "society" and status quo can suck and need destroying.

  7. Re:A silicon chip could never occur naturally, eit on Wormholes Unstable (BBC) · · Score: 1

    of course, 10^-18 is a number very similar to 10^60 or even 10^-60.

    Or not - bad comparison.

  8. BETT and School linux on Building a Linux Computer Lab for Schools? · · Score: 1

    at BETT (British Education Technology show) in London earlier this year i came across School Linux, a two-man team making a thin-client type distro specifically for schools and an application server solution. Have a look at their site for more details. I also saw a very interesting article on The Register (as an IT teacher) about a school in my region of the UK using solely thin clients with old hardwear and new servers to be faster and more reliable and popular, not to mention easier to maintain than the old MS-based system.
