  1. First? on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 5, Informative

    Do you mean that Google is the first in the industry to have satellite images on a map-site?
    Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten have had this on their map-service for almost a year now. At any time in the map-search you can switch between a vector-based map and the satellite images. Very neat :)

  2. Re:Mirror on Grand Challenge Videos Posted · · Score: 1

    I'm mirroring the DVD (1.4gig). It's not fully downloaded either, but will be in 25 minutes.

  3. Re:Hmm on Ender's Game Influences US Army Training · · Score: 1

    It also involved fighting a wastly superior army, and realizing that you can not win, deciding to suicide-bomb.

    Surely something the americans have experience with.

  4. Re:Cure disease? Explore space? Feed the hungry? on Contractor Proposes Laser Rifles for US Military · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm sure you're very hungry if you have a laser-rifle. Hungry people don't even have gunpowder now - but lasers.. sure!

  5. Re:Ram Prices on Dell Introduces Laptop With WUXGA · · Score: 1

    This is how it has to be.
    When Dell's prices are so low, they have to try and make money somewhere. So if people who're not so technically savvy want upgrades -- they click a bit in Dell's webshop. I don't care if Dell rip of the newbies, as long as I get cheap hardware :-)

  6. Re:Is it easy to tell that you're in a honey pot? on Help Perfect The Cracker Antfarm With honeyd · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With so many inexperienced system administrators out there - is it possible? It's so easy to put a [insert linux distro here]-system online, say "hey, it worked", and forget about it, that I doubt that anyone would raise an eyebrow when entering a 'dead' system.

  7. Re:What matters is not who was going to get the bo on War Hero Thwarted Nazi Heavy Water Production · · Score: 1

    You have tasted that sentence with the word "Nazis" replaced with "americans", right?

  8. Re:Childish on Opera Releases "Bork" Edition · · Score: 3, Informative

    Maybe the homepage of Opera's CTO have some info that can enlighten you?

  9. Why now? on Programmable Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Matrix-Orbital have been selling them for ages.
    It's nothing new..

  10. Re:Making a case out of him using Linux on Johansen Trial Underway · · Score: 1

    That's a bit amusing. Especially when we see what the prosecutors use on their own webservers:
    mybox:~$ lynx -dump -head http://www.okokrim.no | grep Server
    Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux

  11. Re:So what did Jon do? on Jon Johansen DeCSS Trial Next Week · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Everyone can't run and hide from the big bad wolf. Don't complain when somebody stick their head out to take the case to court.

  12. Re:Good for them. on University of Twente Back Online · · Score: 3, Informative

    As yet, the cause of the fire is unknown. Technical investigators will look into it and investigate the possibility of the fire having been started. This may take some time. .. from: http://srv1ut.utwente.virtu.nl/en/news/engels1.doc /

  13. Re:get a clue.... on April Fools Wrap Up · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you're not giving Taco too much credit? How do we know that he didn't believe all the crap he approved/posted?

  14. download on Do We Spend More On Linux Or Windows? · · Score: 1

    Most people download their open source OS. After all it _is_ free :-)

  15. Pay them and change the name. on Adobe Threatens KIllustrator Over Name · · Score: 1

    2500 Euro is $2,117.00 so the lawyers would probably charge you more to just look at the case, and Adobe will most certainly keep going, even _if_ Killustrator win in court. As many people have mentioned before: Be more original :-)

  16. batteries on Head-Mounted Mouse · · Score: 1

    I usually sit more than 10 hours straight in front of the pc tho..

  17. Re:Where are the nazis???!!! on Achtung Wolfenstein Screenshots · · Score: 3


    You missed the "Pictures" part of the site -- featuring nazi-dressed models with a whip.

    How can anyone resist these two nazi's?

    :-)
