  1. Done on Umbilical Cord Blood Banking? · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Italian hospitals we already have the full placenta collected and stored especially for stem cells.
    I'm only not sure whether you can claim your own back, though.

  2. Re:The real question is (to me): on KDE 4.2 Is Released · · Score: 1

    Also your logic smells bad.
    I wouldn't expect any "real" feature loss in a major version upgrade. Maybe some temporary instability, but not a net loss of any non cosmetic feature.
    I use Linux+KDE on my main PC I use for work. When I tried 4.0.x and 4.1.x I had to revert back to 3.5.x.
    And KDE developers suggested me so. You can browse the KDE Forums for complaints like mine.
    The bottom line is that the current v4 KDE is for early adopters and testers, not every-day users.

  3. The real question is (to me): on KDE 4.2 Is Released · · Score: 1

    Is v4.2.0 comparable in real features with v3.5.10?
    If you throw away eye candies, styles and other cosmetic features, can I replace my v3.5.10 with v4.2.0 without loosing a single feature?
    If the answer is "no" or "almost", the v4.2.0 is no better than v3.5.10.
    And the bad news is that some mainstream distros are not taking this into the proper account.

  4. Re:But if Russia develops it... on Russia To Develop a National Operating System · · Score: 3, Funny

    Chinese?

  5. Re:But will they on Russia To Develop a National Operating System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should, but hardly they will.
    And even so, who will enforce GPL in that country?
    Obama?

  6. Too many morons in EU Parliament on Russia To Develop a National Operating System · · Score: 5, Interesting

    EU politiacians don't understand (or don't want to) the importance, the strategy and the economics of an EU-wide open-source policy!
    Private interests are more important by far!

  7. Proofs? on Details Emerge On the 2006 Hacking of Congress · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Any proof about the Chinese origin?
    Why not the Italian Mafia, the Muslim Jihad or whatever else?
    Sounds more like FUD than real investigation!

  8. It depends on the wiping! on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 1

    I use a blowlamp! One is enough.

  9. George Lucas copyright? on Reaction Engines To Fly Reusable Spaceplane · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmmm ... I would suggest GL to sue that company for (R) infringement!
    And later (from a galaxy far far away) the Empire will sue GL!

  10. And, moreover, IPv6 Google on Google Over IPv6 Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Looks prettier than IPv4 counterpart!

  11. No, the real question is on Google Over IPv6 Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    When my USD 50 router will be upgradeable to IPv6?

  12. So Linus on Linux 2.6.28 Promises Year-End Presents · · Score: 1

    should put a red and white dress as well as a white beard!
    Oh oh oh oh!

  13. Re:I hope so on Will People Really Boycott Apple Over DRM? · · Score: 1

    DRM is a financial inconvenience.

    Thus is evil by harming finance!

  14. I hope so on Will People Really Boycott Apple Over DRM? · · Score: 1

    DRM is an evil concept.

  15. Re:Skype? Google Earth? on 64-Bit Java For Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Skype is there! Just google it as the company seems to shy to show it.

  16. Graphene from CO2? on Graphene Transistors Clocked At 26GHz · · Score: 1

    If IBM can also produce graphene out of greenhouse CO2 they'll also get the thankfulness from the Whole World!

  17. 8 core CPU? on Benchmarks For Ubuntu vs. OpenSolaris vs. FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    Is not exactly what I'd say "average nix user hardware".
    I bet that less than 5% of NIX users have that kind of machine on their desktops.
    Why not running the test on either a "normal" desktop or even better on a laptop?
    And, by the way, Opensolaris 2008.11 is still a release candidate!

  18. Can exhibit emotions? on Scientists Add Emotions To Robotic Head · · Score: 1

    The ability to exhibit emotions doesn't mean it has any!
    In the same way, Furby doesn't understand what you say!

  19. What's a soul? on Ray Kurzweil Wonders, Can Machines Ever Have Souls? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do Humans have one?
    If so, anything else can.
    Unless someone has a proof otherwise.

  20. Down the flush! on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    Simple!

  21. Sorage? on UK Outlines Plan For Internet Black Boxes · · Score: 1

    Have they an idea of the amount of data to fit in each box and, finally, into the central database?
    This will ensure the thing won't ever happen!

  22. That juicy t-bone steak on Frozen Mice Cloned · · Score: 2, Funny

    I had in the last BBQ would also need cloning!

  23. Looks like a penguin on ESA Unveils Re-Entry Module · · Score: 4, Funny

    Also penguins rely on better geometry and not on useless wings!

  24. Our country? on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Again you think 100% of readers are from USA.
    I'd suggest the next right poll about nationality.
    Maybe you'll find something new!

  25. Ask Cyclades on Low-Bandwidth, Truly Remote Management? · · Score: 1
