  1. William Gibson "mundane"? on Is Science Fiction the Opiate of the Geek Masses? · · Score: 1

    The Mundane Manifesto states that William Gibson works within the mundane guidelines.

    I have often wondered if Gibson's Pattern Recognition was set in "present day" because of the increasing challenge of writing cyberpunk?

    With nanotechnology featuring in HP ads, and virtual actors now standard fare, who can blame him?

  2. Re:SuSE Pronunciation on Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    I always figured it was pronounced "zu-zah", similar to "Zuse" in Konrad Zuse, an early German computer pioneer. In fact, I've always wondered whether SuSE/Zuse was a double-entendre.

  3. Re:Get a Micra on The Ultimate Leatherman? · · Score: 1

    I totally concur! I've got a Leatherman Squirt P4 on my keyring with a quick release attachment. The quick release increases the cost by 2%, but the utility of the knife more than doubles. (Two cases: 1. Quick release before entering airport. 2. Quick release for working on something fiddly.)

  4. Motorola's Digital Six Sigma on Automation in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Google for Motorola's Digital Six Sigma. Think of it as automation and enforcement of business, product and quality processes, automation of process change, and reporting using "digital cockpits".
