  1. Re:Religious Prosecution of File Sharers on Filesharing Now an Official Religion In Sweden · · Score: 1

    You might be right, I have no idea what other countries do to not separate religion from the state.

  2. Re:Religious Prosecution of File Sharers on Filesharing Now an Official Religion In Sweden · · Score: 2

    Fun fact: In Finland, the only person you should confess a murder to is a priest. Even the court can't force a priest to break the secrecy.

  3. Re:Surprise? on Insects Rapidly Becoming Resistant To GM Corn · · Score: 1

    No, lucky/successful mutations can route around certain obstacles. Also, making gene manipulations isn't evil in of itself. I don't see why you needed to make your comment so sensationalistic

  4. Re:Less than a "PC" on Details About Raspberry Pi Foundation's $25 PC · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So, when i unplug my peripherals from my computer case, it ceases to be a PC? Whoa. Radical, dude.

  5. Ford Nucleon? on 8 Grams of Thorium Could Replace Gasoline In Cars · · Score: 1

    So, how does this differ from the old idea of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Nucleon ?

  6. Re:Old news for Finland, too on A Black Day For Internet Freedom In Germany · · Score: 2, Informative

    Seems like your Finnish ISP has the censor list in use - that's the page you land on.

    For all I know, you might be some guy who tries to enforce Lex Karpela or something, so I won't give you any advice to circumvent the restriction. Sorry for that. Google around and you're bound to find it out yourself.

  7. Old news for Finland, too on A Black Day For Internet Freedom In Germany · · Score: 5, Informative

    We've had this in Finland for a while now, too. See http://lapsiporno.info/english-2008-02-15.html for internet activist Matti Nikki's fight against the debated censorship. OpenDNS is the de facto way to circumvent this censor list. Ironically, his site is blocked by the child porn list by our Keskusrikospoliisi (federal police).

  8. Re:Interesting spin on Quake Live Dev Says Mac and Linux Are "Top Priority" · · Score: 1

    Well, you could always put ten programmers on the job and see how they all help to deliver the baby in less than 9 mythical months...

  9. Whoops! on EU Data-Retention Laws Stricter Than Many People Realized · · Score: 1

    I think I accidentally the post.

  10. Re:PostgreSQL on Locating the Real MySQL · · Score: 1

    No, not when you are working on commercial, closed-source projects.

  11. Re:PostgreSQL on Locating the Real MySQL · · Score: 4, Informative

    Why do you like [PostgreSQL] so much?

    The reason we use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL at work is mainly because the JDBC drivers for MySQL are GPL licensed, while Postgres' isn't.

  12. What? No Ion cannon? on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    Next you're trying tell me that Kane will cancel his plans for the Temple of NOD?

  13. Wasn't NIH after all on Adobe To Open Real-Time Messaging Protocol · · Score: 1

    Whew... By reading the topic alone, I thought someone "great! someone just reinvented IRC..."

  14. Huh, confirming theories... that's a new one on Galaxy Clusters' Stunted Growth Confirms Dark Energy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And I who thought that theories cannot be confirmed by real-world observations, only supported. ...as the blurb also mentions, actually.

  15. Re:All this sounds nice, but there's another side. on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 1

    I'm talking about capping the speeds at around 160-odd km/h, not choking horsepower/torque just for the fun of it.

  16. Re:All this sounds nice, but there's another side. on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...what if your government thinks it is a good idea to limit performance for all drivers?

    Aren't car manufacturers already choking the power of their engines by software for their more high-end cars? Although I have no proof, I am almost sure that they do this already for the cars sold in Finland, at least.

  17. IT Mill Toolkit uses it on Is Anyone Using the Google Web Toolkit? · · Score: 1

    To take the "anyone" in its strictest definition, yes, someone is using it. I'm working for a company that develops an opensource UI toolkit for Java, that takes heavy use of GWT.

    OTOH, this is probably the only application outside of Google I, too, have seen using GWT.
