  2. The payphone made the scene great on What We Get Wrong About Technology (timharford.com) · · Score: 0

    I can't see Ford acting with a handheld mobile in front of him, trying to do an emotional videocall ... while starring at a wall-mounted prop, well, that scene turned out quite well ...

  3. I'm white and I don't threaten cops with anything. I pull over the car, keep the hands on the steering wheel and talk in my best southern drawl i can muser: "Well howdy there officer what seems to be the problem? Was I speeding too much?" and I get away with just a warning. Yep, it pays top be a blonde white arian guy in a bimmer in Mizzouri, I can get away with practically everything but murder.

    why won't you come to Bucharest and see the magnificent architecture. and try our health system too, where hospitals are "places where people go to die painfully"

  5. in Romania too on Russia Backs Sending Top Students Abroad With a Catch · · Score: 0

    Same thing happened in Romania. Students had to return and were supposed to work in the public administration, but no agency would hire them. It was unclear wether they had the right to take a job in the private sector, and benefits in Romania last only 6 months. They made some scandal in the press two years ago - haven't heard of them ever since. Prolly they went into the EU to get decent jobs and never looked back.

    I didn't even bothered to read the submission, just posting this to tell everyone that after working 16 years with that piece of software, I need therapy

  8. Re:The legacy of Elena Ceauescu! on Prime Ministerial Plagiarism Farce Continues In Romania · · Score: 1

    Anecdote: the scientific works of Elena Ceausescu were ghost-written by Romanian scientists and presented valid scientific theories. The stupid b*** couldn't even read... She read CO2 phonetically (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codoi) and the nickname stuck ...

  9. thesis subject on Prime Ministerial Plagiarism Farce Continues In Romania · · Score: 0

    why the hell did he made a PhD thesis on the International Criminal Court? Aren't PhDs supposed to bring in new scientific discoveries? What's the scientific purpose of that, to prove that the court exists?

    There was a fad over those in China some time ago... What's funny, they're all made with the same ARM platform, and run a hacked WinMo... Most of 'em have dual SIM cards and TV!

    I've been to Luxembourg once, and I encountered the same situation as you did: free wifi in the city, 1 euro per hour inside the hotel. But the free wifi was tuned in such manner that you couldn't catch the signal inside the hotel, even though I could see the antenna below my

    window on a lamp pole. I went off the hotel and tried again - worked like a charm. Then I read on city hall's website that they meant it to be used on the streets only, and not to compete with regular ISPs...

  16. We already had something like that in Romania on Houses With Tails · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This kind of networks already exists over here in Romania; we call them "Neighborhood Networks", (not to be mistaken with Windows' same folder, or what it is). They exist since the late '90s, and they're being massively brought off by traditional ISPs for they customer base. In their beginning, these networks would be the only way to get broadband of any kind; they would span anarchically over several condo blocks, cables ran in trees, routers secured in plastic bags... the good ol' times... Some are active to this day, they turned into mini-ISPs. They even have private peerings with each others, and even launched an exchange (this: http://www.interlan.ro/?lang=en&t=1) They're widely credited by the geek community in Romania to force the major ISPs to deploy true broadband and bring down the prices.
