  1. Re:About the resolution... on Motorola's Rumored Android Phone Focuses on Screen Size · · Score: 1

    Well, you're right. 800x480 is a very standard resolution, but we're talking about Motorola, right? ;-)
    Having 854x480, you still keep one axis standard (480) which makes 800x480 applications easier to port.
    Just google the different resolutions and you see which one's more popular and widely used:

    resolution - hits
    480x800: 365 000
    800x480: 1 270 000
    484x850: 73 000
    850x484: 102 000
    480x854: 80 200
    854x480: 475 000 -- // AC

  2. Re:No limit on Typical Home Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    Well, I've got 30/30 full duplex (although the contract says 30/10) and have at least 1.5 TB up/week. Rather expensive though, about 400 SEK / $60 a month. No limits. Of course I live in Sweden.

  3. Re:TC has Deniability on Schneier, UW Team Show Flaw In TrueCrypt Deniability · · Score: 1

    Well, have some code that you claim is secret and valuable on the "clean" data, and then all your warez on the other one.

  4. Re:Get A Mac on Schneier, UW Team Show Flaw In TrueCrypt Deniability · · Score: 1

    But why not encrypt the entire fscking system partition then? It's really easy, and with TC6 you get multithread support, so with a modern computer you won't even notice any performance degrades.

  5. Re:I got it on NIN's Music Experiment Sells Big Numbers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I completely agree. And yes, I also paid - but after I downloaded the free first volume and listened. This is a perfect example of how artists should promote their music. And the artwork, oh the artwork. Really beautiful.

  6. Re:I got it on NIN's Music Experiment Sells Big Numbers · · Score: 3, Informative

    [...]the tracks are strange, but work suprisingly well Well, it's NIN, isn't it? I like it. They uploaded the first volume (which can be downloaded from their own site) via some public bittorrent-trackers.

    Nice initiative.

    I think that has to go under the "amusing pranks and creation of internet history"-category.

    Hmm, interesting article. The definition of "prank" isn't just name calling and flaming. We have to re-define the term to include modern equivalent actions that corresponds to the term "prank". What is an acceptable on-line prank and what isn't?

    The whole world is not urbanized, and there is a need for cars. True, but public long-distance transports, such as buses and trains, may be used instead of trips by car.
  23. Re:From an environmental perspective... on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'm sorry that I didn't point out that I use my bike(bicycle, not motorbike) for transportation. I live in Sweden and the cities here aren't built like they are in the US. Most of the cities are rather old and not built optimized for cars, so there are for example supermarkets in downtown and the use of car becomes optional.

    You don't need a car here, so my view of looking at the need of car is rather negative in general.

    Granted, I wrote "when literally everybody affords a car". What I ment was actually more about what would happen with the environment when everybody uses a car - because everybody can afford one.

    About your #1: Yeah, and that's very important. If the music doesn't sound good in lo-fi then the general public won't like it which leads to less profit. One would almost wish for a "audiophile"-release of that special album that one loves - in this case get it as FLAC?
