  1. Re:Nokia E90 + PuTTY on Smartphones For Text SSH Use Re-Revisited · · Score: 1

    Compared to N97, E90 has much better keyboard for SSH use: Tab (!!!), /, -, Ctrl, numbers.. No doubt it's an old phone but if SSH is your ulimate criterion, the keyboard usability of E90 rocks.

  2. Re:Nope on Would You Pay For YouTube Videos? · · Score: 2, Funny

    and videos of cute pandas eating bamboo aren't worth paying for.

    What's wrong with you?

  3. Re:Um. on Drug-Sniffing Drones Take To the Skies In the Netherlands · · Score: 1

    If all the roofs in a street are covered with snow

    Ok but be realistic.. this happens once in 5 years in the Netherlands :)

  4. Re:contractor position? on How To Handle Corporate Blackmail? · · Score: 1

    duct tape?
    then I guess it wasn't much of a problem, right?

  5. Re:Ditto the A.C. on One Broken Router Takes Out Half the Internet? · · Score: 1

    yes but it's the smaller half

  6. boooooring on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 1

    let me know when 3 of them hit each other at the same time

  7. and food coloring to produce jam on Future Astronauts May Survive On Eating Silkworms · · Score: 1, Insightful

    because jam tastes much better when it's colored!

  8. Re:How I would do it... on BitTorrent For Enterprise File Distribution? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Using BT is pointless in the scenario you suggested. Every client will be getting a different file (encrypted by his public key) so use of BT will not save any bandwidth.

  9. nothing special.. on Ultrasound Machine Ages Wine · · Score: 1

    Here in middle europe we do it regularly with home-made booze (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slivovitz).. Of course it does not make a good one from a bad one but it can make a good one even better.. it adds some "smoothness", very similar to the efect of real aging. The funny thing is that we use an ultrasound device whose original purpose is to clean things, like jewelry made of noble metals :)

  10. what kind of google is this?? on Retrieving Data From Old Amstrad Floppies? · · Score: 1

    Google: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=...

    f*cking microsoft agents

  11. More! on Higher-Resolution YouTube Videos Currently In Testing · · Score: 1

    I hope that porntube and youporn will follow their example as well!

  12. One more example of a modern library on Can Architects Save Libraries from the Internet? · · Score: 1

    which will be (hopefully) built in Prague
    http://www.radio.cz/en/article/88974
    and some more pictures: http://aktualne.centrum.cz/kultura/umeni/foto.phtml?gid=2175&cid=369145
    I definitely find it very refreshing :)

  13. From the article.. on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 1

    What's preventing the engineer from grasping it right away, he says, is his education, his scientific training. +1 insightful for the professor
  14. Re:Bluetooth mice? on Tiny Generator Runs Off Vibrations · · Score: 1

    Have you checked the difference in estimated battery life of your laptop with and without mouse connected? Mice are too greedy beasts for this..
    Hmm now I realised that mice with balls (non-optical ones I mean, not the male mice) can have much lower power consumption.. so maybe it's not that bad idea. Who needs these optical mice anyway..

  15. Re:thanks on Eta Carinae, Soon To Be a Local Supernova · · Score: 1

    that is actually very simple..
    while(1){
        sun(rise);
        sleep(60*60*12-daily_change);
        sun(set);
        sleep(60*60*12+daily_change);
    }
