    No Doubt you refer to the mystical attribute women claim to have: meaning the ability to multi-task. Men have that ability as well, but instead we're told we can't fucking concentrate on one thing at a time.

  12. Re:Too convenient on Tatooine-like Planet Discovered · · Score: 1

    It never ceases to amaze me how little people seem to know about Astronomy, it must be the culmination of mankind's reasoning powers, combining a large number of academic disciplines, yet still allowing the spirit to be lifted in awe and pure delight. Sorry I've been a Stargazer all my life can't get enough of it.

    Yes, I think it's an 'English as first Language' thing, here in Australia you see it a lot, even amongst German teachers. I've had to 'correct' the corrections a teacher made to my daughter's homework on many an occasion. All of these related to the 'ie' 'ei' problem. She (the teacher) got really sick of it. I was raised in the Netherlands so I had to learn my fair share of langusages in my time, finally paying of (for my kids) ;)

  25. Re:Lic. vs public domain on Microsoft's Slap at Samba · · Score: 1

    Rot, they're selling an operating system so the onus is on them to provide their interfaces (not the code) to anyone who wishes to communicate to that system. This is the way computing USED to work They are not in a position to dictate ANYTHING, interoperability is interoperability, you can not include or preclude anyone, that's why they were taken to court in the first place!
