  1. Re:Problem with this model: Windows is a hidden co on Windows Is Dead – Long Live Midori? · · Score: 1

    Exactly: Windows is free (http://articles.tlug.jp/Windows_Is_Free), which is why Linux hasn't overtaken it yet.

  2. Re:Huh? on Windows Is Dead – Long Live Midori? · · Score: 1

    She's a violinist: http://www.gotomidori.com/

  3. Re:Locus Magazine on Decent Book Clubs for Sci-Fi Fans? · · Score: 1

    The Young Adult section of the library (don't sneer - the quality of the Science Fiction there is very high) shouldn't be forgotten. I second that. Even the older stuff ('A Wrinkle in Time', 'A Wizard of Earthsea') is worth re-reading.
  4. Re:Life is about sacrifce. on Disillusioned With IT? · · Score: 1

    Not sacrifice, but balance. Just like the balance between a secure system and a usable system, you need to decide for yourself what balance you need between providing for your family and providing for your own mental health.

  5. Does the number of cats count? on Cat Ownership Correlated With Heart Health · · Score: 1

    I had 4 cats at one time, down to 2 now. Did my heart attack risk double? 72 more cats and I get my picture in the paper. :-)

  6. Re:As a MD voter... on Maryland Votes To Ban Diebold Voting Machines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As a MD volunteer election judge....
    I prefer that we don't introduce paper ballots, as discussed in the legislation, because they don't solve any problems. There's a good discussion at http://euro.ecom.cmu.edu/people/faculty/mshamos/pa per.htm.
    I've got a master's degree in Computer Science, and I've been an election judge for several years, working with the Diebold machines. In my opinion, the procedures established by the election board are sufficient to prevent the general public from accessing and/or hacking the unofficial vote counts.
