Submission + - When did Star Wars jump the shark? (com.com) 1

stm2 writes: "As a long time /. reader, I saw how Star Wars was considered first as the "best SCIFI story ever" to the "Lucas stole my childhood" rant. This article in the Techreuplic blog goes into the subject and states that the Midi-chlorians are the culprit. It was the Midi-chlorians, Jar Jar Binks, the actors?. When did Star Wars jump the shark?. A bonus question: Did George Lucas redeem himself in Episode III (RotS)?"

Submission + - Music from DNA patented (genome-technology.com)

stm2 writes: "Two lawers patented the idea of generating music from a DNA sequence. According to the patent, it covers "music generated by decoding and transcribing genetic information within a DNA sequence into a music signal having melody and harmony". I remember seeing such a algorithms since earlier 90's. Is this another well known idea that gets patented?"

Journal Journal: Fuentes de Windows en Linux

I use slackware, with the and the fonts look just fine. What you could try doing is this:

1) copy c:\windows\fonts\*.ttf into (say) /usr/share/fonts/ttf
2) get ttmkfdir (search freshmeat) and do ttmkfdir > fonts.dir; cp fonts.dir fonts.scale
3) add the line FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf" to the files section of /etc/X11/XF86Config
4) restart X
5) if it's Profit!!! then I'm missing out on something.

Fortunately we are going to show you a way to backup your entire system to a bootable CD-ROM (or CD-ROMs depending on size of installation) for easy restore. We are going to do this using a nice little utility called 'Mkcdrec'. So let's get started.

Requirements

First you need to download the latest version of 'Mkcdrec' at:
