  1. Supercollider ... on Large Hadron Collider Goes Live September 10th · · Score: 1

    ... never met her.

  2. Avro Arrow et al on Canadian Company Developing New Space Shuttle · · Score: 5, Informative
    Some of Canada's aerospace history ...


    sorted in some kinda order --please fill in the gaps.
  3. This is one level of complexity ... on Vista To Be Updated Without Reboots · · Score: 1

    ... above the level MS should be dealing with. Perhaps their time and effort (and ultimately our money) would be better spent on stabilisation/security/etc. --although this is perhaps some long term strategy to give excuses to longer release times. (I'm sure there's some formula in CS re: levels of complexity v. cost/time-to-delivery ...)
    I don't doubt this is cool stuff, but it's probably best left in the lab.

  4. One might say ... on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1
    • 'a bunch of clients' = Uncle Tom and Aunt Jan in Saskatoon,
    • 'Windows Messenger with a colleague' = Hottie4SaleInRiga,
    • 'AIM with my girlfriend' = some auto-erotic auto-reply,
    • 'Google Talk with a friend at a different tech company' = currently seeking employment

    ... had to do #4, no offence implied.
  5. Re:Hosted OOo with browser interface on Google Hiring Programmers to Work on OpenOffice · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Indeed, although I doubt we'll see OO it's traditional form in browser x-y or z. I suspect this more of an effort to both improve the OO application base and (probably primarily) for Google to learn a bit about office suites for an eventual "ajax" type interface. Storage, security, etc. --I suppose --is par for the course.
