Sad news. It would be great if Disney open sourced the X-Wing and Tie Fighter code... :-O

> I don't know a single person that doesn't bike because they have to wear a helmet.

I can't find the original article as it was a few years ago but here's a summary:
"Researchers from Lancaster University questioned 1400 people over three years to see what deters us from cycling to work. Arriving with ‘helmet hair’ stopped 27 per cent of women from cycling (...)"

First World Problems...

Geez.. Get a bicycle man.
I cycle to work every day.
15.5 km one way (~45 minutes).

Most of these textbooks will be printed out anyway so the "problem" of small e-book readers is a non-existing one. The whole project is more about a free and open access to knowledge. Electronic gadgets in Polish schools are not welcome - they turn children attention from what the teacher is saying.

If Google made such an extension for Firefox I'd consider the option of installing it. SInce I'm not using Chrome - I won't bother.

A small correction... It were actually Polish mathematicians - Marian Rejewski and Henryk Zygalski who broke the Enigma code in 1932. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Rejewski Alan Turing based his Bombe design on the results of their work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombe

OGM was an old and deprecated fork. From the original article:
"OGM used the Ogg page structure (mostly correctly) though with private data for the VfW framework. The result was parseable as Ogg container but containing an ugly Windows-specific hack. We objected because it was not well formed and confused users who thought it was regular Ogg. It was a quick and dirty fork. For the record, Tobias later joined Xiph along with his DirectShow filters[9] and deprecated OGM. OGM is no longer supported in our DirectShow offerings"

No one cares? Sure... Just one case from top of my head: http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/mhausnojmhey/ http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/0501/abortion.html 1940s? Hell yeah - more often than you think. Unfortunately.. :( Regards

Nah... Unless you spill the toner (which is a very fine plastic particles mixed with pigments) it's practically harmless. Airborne toner (and I mean a huge cloud) would be a serious issue as every other fine dust (particulate matter like PM10 and lower) would be. To learn more I suggest you check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PM10 Some time ago there was a study about potential Health & Safety risk associated with laser printers (photocopiers) as they emit some amount of ozone while working - but still it isn't an issue in a even average-ventilated office. If you have a dozen of those machines sitting in a tiny room with a window that never opens - that would be some area of concern - but still I wouldn't be panicking. Regards

Epson is the only manufacturer that uses piezoelectric printheads in their inkjets. These in theory (when used properly with good quality ink) could last for a life time. That's why the printhead is not replacable (well... at least notuser-replaceable...). HP, Canon etc. use bubble-jet technology in their inkjets which relies on heating the ink so it's being pushed onto the paper. This technology is much more prone to failure (heated/cooled ink clogs the jets, micro heaters in the priniting head just burn and die). That's why those printheads are replaceable - they are also a consumable. Epson's solution is in theory superior.

You're misinformed. IBM is already jumping. You can have a Linux workstation (Open Client for Linux - for Red Hat/Fedora, Ubuntu, SLED) in IBM. What's more the default office suite in IBM is Lotus Symphony now. MS Office is slowly going away. BTW: I've never seen Windows Vista installed on any work PC in IBM.
