  1. Oh no! on US Group Calls Canada a Top Copyright Violator · · Score: 1

    I was sure we Swedes where in the lead! Must we make yet another [something]Bay?

    Isn't this award of being the worst offender being passed out like a little kids soccer tournament, where everyone gets a medal for just attending? Russia is the worst, China is the worst, Sweden is the worst, Canada is the worst. Bah.

  2. Re:Bet there still isn't a decent "Stop!" button on HTML V5 and XHTML V2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Myspace is basically a hack job of static tables. The inclusion of css classes are a later graft upon the code to make it themeable (aka. blinding horror of red text on pink background). From what I've understood the reason why myspace has been so unwilling/unable to move forwards has been that doing so would break almost all themed user pages that depend upon said table structure.

  3. If Dvorak hates it... on Dvorak Slams OLPC As 'Naive Fiasco' · · Score: 1

    it's a certain success!

  4. Re:Beginning of the end? on Stem Cells Change Man's DNA · · Score: 1

    Chimera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics)) humans would have two sets of DNA in them would they not? Sure they'd be quite easily connected as they'd be "siblings", but still.

  5. VMD? on HD VMD Shows Up Late For the Format War · · Score: 5, Funny

    Videos of Mass Destruction!?

  6. Why even vote on it? on NZ, Sweden, Hungary Reflect OOXML Turmoil · · Score: 5, Insightful

    OOXML seems to be, from a technical standpoint, such a poorly constructed format that voting on whether or not to name it a standard is just silly. It should have been turned down long ago for its flagrant stupidities and sent back to Redmond with a post-it saying "nice joke!" attached.

  7. Re:I didn't think they'd cracked modern languages. on Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian Translator Created · · Score: 1

    On the contrary. I do belive that most people here speak a number of languages such as asm, c, pascal, cobol, java, and basic. All with their own regional distinctions and oddities of course.

  8. damn it. on Forensic Analysis Reveals Al-Qaeda's Image Doctoring · · Score: 1

    I don't want to read subs, can't we just dub it like in Germany/France/Italy/Spain or better yet, do a classic Hollywood remake?

  9. Mr. Ivancic on $150 Linux Laptop for the Masses · · Score: 5, Informative

    After some light diggin thru public registers this is what I've found out about the owner of Medison.

    Valdi Ivancic, born 1970-03-26, has a filed residens on Holmgatan 16F, 37138 Karlskrona. However he is also listed as living on Lundenvägen 24, 56134 Huskvarna. The Huskvarna listing also has a cell phone number for MR Ivancic, +46-76-3384142.

    Whois information for medisoncelebrity.com refers to the Huskvarna address but lists another cell phone number +46-70-7572858 and also states the mans email address to be valdi_ivancic@hotmail.com.

    Also residing at the Huskvarna address is one Ljubo Ivancic, born 1947-08-14, listed with a land line number of +46-36-131524 and a cell phone number of +46-70-4326089.

    Neither Medison or Medison Consulting seem to be registered trademarks in Sweden.

    medison.se was registered 2007-02-09 and medisoncelebrity.com was registered 2007-04-11.

  10. Re:Con is a crybaby. on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I fully agree with what you wrote.

    I believe that Con won the argument concerning how the Linux scheduler should behave and that the CFS is proof of that, he himself however seems to see rejection at every point. IMO the Linux kernel needs Con not because of his code but because of his different point of view. For him to on the one hand realise that other developers have other prioritise and on the other hand not see how that wouldn't conflict with his own is astonishing to me.

    Plenty of programmers (dare I say a majority?) suffer from the urge to rewrite rather than adopt someone else's code. Ingo seems to be very much one of plenty in this regard.

  11. Con is a crybaby. on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    It's a shame that it came to this and I'm not talking about the article.

    Cons pet baby project the staircase-deadline (SD) scheduler that aims at improving responsiveness on the desktop more or less got made redundant by Ingo Molnar's completely-fair (CFS) scheduler. Cons lengthy failure to get SD into mainline only to see the much newer CFS get quickly picked up seems to have been the straw that broke the camels back. Con announced that he would no longer keep producing his -ck tree as he was disgruntled with the way that the kernel development was done.

    IMHO he should have stuck at it and proven his code superior instead of walking off bitching about it.

  12. The small things... on A Windows-Based Packaging Mechanism · · Score: 1

    Good initiative, I myself tossed around some ideas for such a system a long time ago but never got started on actually doing anything about it.

    IMHO some things to keep in mind are some kind of authentication of packages, an extensive system for deinstallation that cleans out crust, backwards compability with existing package systems (rpm, apt-get), option of building from source if all available packages are sorly out-of-date, local and remote installation with as few requirements for previously installed programs. These are just a few of the things i thought about before, lemme know if you want me to dig out my old document with ideas.

    Oh yeah, this is my first ever post on /. so be kind^H^H^H^Hless of an ass to me :P.
