  1. What storage did they use? on Scientists Test World's Fastest Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'm more interested in how they got data read from the storage medium at 1.2 terabits/s - unless it was random data?

  2. Re:Verilog on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: 1

    I believe career choice has more to do with interest than aptitude, although certainly, a certain degree of skill is needed.
    If you're interested enough, given more time you'll definitely be able to pickup the needed skill.
    However, a person who resents doing his job is less likely to be willing to pickup any other skill that he does not currently know.

  3. Re:EVERYBODY PANIC!!! on GCC 4.3.0 Exposes a Kernel Bug · · Score: 1

    Ahh yes.. another brilliant car analogy on slashdot. :)

  4. Re:So? on Paranormal Investigations and Belief in Ghosts · · Score: 1

    Then you have faith in yourself, and not religion.

  5. Spinning the news... on HMV Canada Cuts Music CD Prices · · Score: 0

    Spinning the news as software piracy won't help their agenda - I'm quite sure no consumer is going to feel sympathy for the RIAA's loss of potential profits. If anything, it'll encourage piracy - CDs are already overpriced as it is.

  6. Re:Been there, done that. on Mitochondria and the Prevention of Death · · Score: 1

    The guy who won proposed that putrefaction (when the body is actually rotting) was the only scientifically valid definition. That's nonsense! As Dawn of the Dead (Along with countless other zombie flicks) has shown, people can indeed wake up when they're rotting.

    I do wish they'd clean themselves up first, though.
  7. $5 says... on Mars Rovers Threatened By Dust Storms · · Score: 1, Funny

    $5 says the decepticons are behind the sandstorm. :/

  8. Re:Fast mirror at Indiana University on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Torrents are the way to go. A few hours ago I couldn't find the ISOs on most mirrors except for the ones that I downloaded slowly from, so I opted for the torrent option. Managed to download the ISO in an hour through DHT - the ubuntu tracker wasn't accepting the torrent then.

    Now I'm installing it as I speak, and it's nearly done.

  9. Re:Indeed on Scientists Find New Painkiller From Saliva · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up!

  10. Dog collars. on Airport To Tag Passengers With RFID · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From the desciption, it sounds like the passengers will end up wearing dog collars. Anyone reminded of Battle Royale? It's one thing to be security conscious, but another thing to be paranoid.

  11. Beans... on A New Angle on Martian Methane · · Score: 2, Funny

    It just goes to show that Martians like beans... A lot.

  12. Re:Devil's Advocate on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This seems to be similar to what Google was doing a while ago.
    However, I don't think podcast is an actual apple trademark, so I'm not too sure if one can treat this case like the Google's case.

  13. Re:only good thing is the start time on Microsoft's High School Opens in PA · · Score: 1

    Well, where I live I can see that the transport system would not be able to handle both the working population and the schooling population at the same time. So I guess they're using a kind of staggered approach to solving the problem - make the kids go to school first, then handle the working population.

  14. Re:It'd have to be an unmicrosoft solution on Microsoft Developing iPod, iTMS Competitor · · Score: 1

    Exactly. However, Mac users now have a choice as well - boot camp.

  15. Re:He makes a valid point. on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1

    That was posted by me - forgot to login.
