  1. Re:More than scientific learning on LHC Success! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Only two beams were passed and No collisions took place. Cern hasnt announced yet when it schedules collisions to take place. In all probability, it would be a year before we see collisions at full power.
    So even though I dont agree with the doomsayers, they still have something to crow about.

  2. Re:Brilliant on Robotic Presence For a Telecommuter · · Score: 0

    I dont think so.
    How exactly is this different from calling someone up ? (Except for visual contact )
    And what would happen if you had a lot of people not coming to office because of this..
    Would your robots go around meeting other robots ?

  3. This is refreshing... on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 0

    I used to have this impression that the kernel developers were all working for big corporations and
    each patch sent to it was the result of extensive testing and review. And like Con says the kernel mailing list
    is hardly a friendly place for casual kernel tinkerers to ask questions about, and having used many of his patches,
    I had no idea he was a hobbyist.
    This is refereshing in the sense that those of us on the fringes , undecided on whether to send in those patches that seem to run smooth on your hobby machines, can in fact contribute to the mainstream kernel.

    So if Con can do it , so can I , and so can you.

    I hope this puts to rest all the nonsense about all the big OSS projects being no place for newbies...


    Cheers !

  6. Re:Gtalk ? on Google Desktop Now on Linux · · Score: 0

    Even Gaim supports the Jabber protocol.
    But AFAIK theres no IM Client that allows you to 'talk' to with the person your chatting. :)

  7. Gtalk ? on Google Desktop Now on Linux · · Score: 0

    I hope other google products like GTalk follow soon.

  8. Re:What could go wrong? on Microsoft Security Makes "Worst Jobs" List · · Score: 0

    Well at least a Whale Feces researcher doesn't have to dodge chairs hurtled at him. Thats a part of the job description at Microsoft. Also you get to deal with way better shit if you are a Whale Feces researcher.

  9. Stalked ? on Giant Penguins Once Roamed Peru · · Score: 5, Funny

    Stalked the plains of Peru ?? WTF ? Penguins ? Hunting what ? Wilder beasts ? At least the article says that they just 'roamed' the deserts .

  10. Re:Excellent!~ on New Tolkien Book Released 'The Children of Hurin' · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why am I not surprised ? Any great cultural classic : books or movies , somehow seem to generate more than their fair share of prequels / sequels . It then just smacks of opportunism. I guess its just me , but it seems to dilute the original masterpiece.
