  1. Re:Incompetence from ISPs on Why Is the Internet So Infuriatingly Slow? · · Score: 1

    funet.fi

    but only into the student network... :)

  2. Re:but wait... on Antarctica Once Abutted Death Valley · · Score: 2, Informative

    No. Nothing on the surface remains from those days. There are literally billions of years between the formation of moon and the first continent we know anything of. Even if earth would have been inhabited by advanced (non-spacefaring) civilizations in the meantime, we wouldn't know. There is simply nothing that remains.

  3. Re:His peers on Schoolboy Corrects NASA's Math On Killer Asteroid · · Score: 1

    If it hits, it'll hit the north atlantic. Lights-out for all the coasts...

  4. Re:And Microsoft was the biggest offender. on Microsoft Designed UAC to Annoy Users · · Score: 1

    Umm... wtf? chmod a+rw /dev/dsp ?

    No way you had to run apps as root just to let them use sound.

  5. Re:Fungible on Oil Deposit Could Increase US Reserves 10x · · Score: 1

    Yea, crackpots like every analyst at every oil company on the planet. Peak oil is fact, when you run continuous consumption from limited reserves, someday you will run out. Only, the crackpots heard it and built some really fucked up OMGENDISNEAR!!!11-stories around it. Yes, there will be peak oil. No, it won't mean fire, brimstone & re-institution of slavery.

  6. Re:Good news, but how good? on NIN's Music Experiment Sells Big Numbers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The remixable one is for 75$, and it's still available.

  7. Re:Honesty on 70% of P2P Users Would Stop if Warned by ISP · · Score: 1

    Re: why should it be up to you to steal from me?

    I shouldn't. The point isn't that I demand everyone to give everything for me free. The point is that the measures content owners are taking to protect their content are excessive and infringing on my rights.

    No-one should be able to read my ip traffic without my authorization, let alone do it with no accountability like the operators are doing now.

  8. Re:because they've been conditioned on Why Is Less Than 99.9% Uptime Acceptable? · · Score: 1

    Re: Europeans aren't communist; Europeans wouldn't be willing to manage the finances of those who refuses to take care of even the most basic aspects of their financial health. Actually, we would. Go check on RMI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenu_minimum_d'insertion Other northern European countries have similar programs. Basically, if you are completely broke, there is always some place where you can get some 10 or so for a day. Although, the big reason we do this is that it is the single most effective method of reducing crime ever known, slightly better even than legalized abortion. And it's a LOT cheaper than putting people in prisons.
