  1. Re:So it is an encrypted proxy service on Pirate Party Launches Commercial Darknet · · Score: 1

    Sweden has one of the best internet infrastructures in the world; I am actually considering moving there for various reasons - cheaper living, cheaper food, 10/10 pipe for the same I could buy a 2/½ pipe for in Denmark.

    On the minus side, I'd be living in Sweden. Seriously.

    You could have servere speed issues, or worse, this:

    What, they've chosen who they want excluded from their free service. The military agencies who have rushed into getting this and feel burned can get a refund.

    At the most, you could phrase it 'counterattack' or the newspeak 'counterterrorism'/'counteroperation'.

    You can choose to join or not join the military but you cannot choose your race.

  6. Totally off-topic - the .sig on Hardware Virtualization Slower Than Software? · · Score: 1

    Donnie, have you been sleepwalking again?

  7. Re:This HAS happened before - with Stacker on Hardware Virtualization Slower Than Software? · · Score: 1

    I think it has to do with the age of the tools involved - in the case of the current virualization issue, I believe it's simply because the virtualization companies have spent years grinding down perfomance lag, wheres the virtualization tools have not yet been properly refined for use with the virtualization capabilities of the processors. Of course, this is a guess, as I have never looked closer at how it's done; I've been happy as long as it worked.

    The Stacker thing is simply because the other hardware on the machines simply outran the Stacker card. Hmm. I wonder if anyone still uses Stacker?

    Contrary to popular belief, schools nowadays dumb you down instead of making you smart. That's their new job.

    Yeah. I believe the idea used to be that Primary was to make sure that everyone had at least the same skills. Now it can better be described as making sure that noone has more skills than anyone else.

    A better way to filter out this would be to ask the domain if said mail address exists - and if negative or not answered, add a few points to the bunch already served by 'V!AG|2A!' and 'S+0(K 0PT!0NS'.

  12. Re:Or on Daily Exploit Releases Irk Both Vendors and Crooks · · Score: 1

    Ah, but Opera has had this feature out of the box for years.
    The only reasons I don't use Opera as my standard browser are
    * because it's a pain to get it in a portable version (for USB keys).
    * Opera 8.5 didn't handle RTF editing well, which I use in my work.

  15. Re:Pronunciation on Ask Håkon About CSS or...? · · Score: 1

    He's right, you know. Hawk-on is much closer. I'm guessing Håkon is describing his name the other way because that's the closest he's used to getting foreigners to pronounce his name.
    That said, my best friend's name is Laurent, but since Danes suck at pronouncing it, he introduces himself as 'Lau'.

  17. Re:Unlimited wireless bad? on Slashback: Oklahoma Spyware, FSF DRM, Lenovo Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    IMO, they should set it up like a Danish ISP. (Disclaimer: (a) I work for them. (b) I do not think they have great prices, but not insane ones either)

    They have a flat rate plan and a flexible rate plan. In the flexible rate plan you pay less for speed (good for users who use internet sparingly and don't want to wait when they finally do) and in the flat rate plan they pay more for speed, but they can get as many gigs a month as they want.

    The way I see it, this makes planning infrastructure much easier. Also, the customers who use ten gigs monthly don't really end up paying for those who use 200 gigs monthly (which happens if everyone is on the same flat rate plans).

    Would that it were so; I'm afraid they're just applying the more recent rule; usually this rule would only lead to dupes, but in this case it would lead to a faulty article summary - "don't read Slashdot". * Could also be that the editor just gave up halfway into trying to give the impression of actually *reading* the article and thought 'Eh, who gives a shit?'
