Comment Perfect for Schools! (Score 1) 473
Oh man this is PERFECT for my school! Now we can pretend we're obeying the status quo while eliminating 90% of our problems with malware, viruses, security vulnerabilities and maintenance. Now we can continue to get another 5 years of productive use out of our machines without having to buy all new machines and waste money on windows licenses and upgrading all the software. Yay! We can finally use our machines for education instead of force-feeding the status quo on a whole generation.

I honestly believe their motives are to keep the article biased to sway readers. Can the Slashdot community come to the rescue and contribute to the article?

All the republican hot air for nearly a decade suddenly halted when Obama took office. This created an entropy vaccuum and hence the thermosphere cooled in order to fill the vaccuum.
Comment Why PHP? (Score 1) 134
Why use PHP? I would think Python would be better because you can cross-compile the code to run on any machine using Jython(in case they stop hosting for you). Personally, I would do a full scrape of the data and put it in BibTex .bib files or xml and then make your search page pass parameters to the python program.
