  2. How useful to have a Babel fish! on Computer Translator Ready for Testing in Iraq · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let's hope Douglas Adam's words re the universal translator, the Babel fish,that "Caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in history" is not prophetic.

  3. We run Linux on Major Retailer Chooses Linux for its Tills · · Score: 1

    I manage a small bookshop and we run a proprietary POS system that includes all the shop management and stock control on top of SuSe Linux (more reliable and faster than Windows according to the vendor). Apparently it is the same system as run by the FreeRecordShop chain. It works great and I am very pleased with it My question is though are there any good open source shop management systems developed for Linux. I went looking for them but didn't find them.

  6. Fun Databases on MySQL 5.0 Candidate Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm can't wait to see the new MySQL now with its "fun features". I'm totally intrigued as to what a fun feature might be in a data base? Will it start replying to queries in style of the Swedish Chef? Bork ,Bork, Bork! Still great work from the MySQL team. Where would /. be without them? Probably /.ed!

    Surely investing in building stronger Levee's would make more sense. Wasn't the Levee's breaking that caused this problem?

  11. Re:Unnecessary my ass on PC Makers See Little Reason to Deploy XP N · · Score: 1

    Are we not forgeting the 500 million fine? The fine was the punishment. Still it would make more sense to require the XP N to be sold more cheaply.
