The head of Daryl McBride is seen in court appealing the latest decision against SCO which declared Daryl McBride not eligible for compensation for inclusion into Futurama episodes on the grounds that he is "just wasting space now that other more important heads need shelf space for. Like Tiger Woods 9th wife" said Leyla. Bender, while trying to get McBride to bite his shiny metal ass, broke the head jar and dropped the head of McBride accidentally into a metal stamping machine. The head of Pam Jones laughed her jar fluid into a total froth while Fry looked on confused.

The car used for the road scenes in Goldfinger and Thunderball is being sold. It's been in a downstairs room of a Philadelphia area radio station owners house for 40 years. He's never driven it. He managed to buy it from Aston Martin in 1969 for $12,000. Expected auction price is $1M+ with proceeds to fund a crime prevention foundation the owner runs.

Submission + - GaTech students opensource winning healthcare code (gatech.edu)
jkinney3 writes: Georgia Tech Flatliners finished first, second and third at the NHIN CONNECT Code-a-Thon Challenge, held April 28-29 at Florida International University in Miami. The group entered three solutions to the challenge and took top honors. The challenge asked teams to create innovative stylesheets to display the information in a Continuity of Care Document (CCD) to a primary care physician taking calls from patients after office hours. The team consisting of computer science Ph.D. student Klara Benda and master's students Adrian Courreges, Monosij Dutta-Roy and Hassan Khan, presented three solutions: a problem-based approach, a multi-context approach, and a rapid-access approach which took first, second and third place respectively. They competed against IT professionals in the healthcare field as well as other student teams. All three Flatliner solutions are now available for free download and use through Open Health Tools (OHT), an open source community for health IT.

jkinney3 writes: No Good Will Come Of This
Wired is reporting that DARPA is looking at ways to create synthetic organisms that are effectively immortal but can be killed with the flip of a switch if required. The BioDesign project has a $6M budget.
No indication if it's a Lee Majors or Lindsey Wagoner plan.
Backporting that kill switch would also be a BadThing.
