  1. That would make them the first species not wiped out by mankind, but by someone else

  2. Get a used rental RV on The Google Employee Who Opted For a Truck Over Bay Area Rents (dice.com) · · Score: 2

    Sounds some like the rental RVs.
    The rental companies (for example cruiseamerica ) sell them off after a couple of years (and and few 100.000 miles).
    They cost more (around 25.000$), but come complete with furniture and bathroom and are probably still a lot cheaper than an appartment in the long run

  3. Tunnels everywhere, A-bombs nowhere on Vast Nazi Facility Uncovered In Austria; Purported A-Bomb Development Site · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some of these claims seem to be overblown.
    If you take a look at the Manhattan Project, you get an idea what efforts in research and production (i.e. uranium enrichment) were required.
    The Nazis never had a programm that came anywhere near these dimensions.
    All they had was a handfull of phsysicists (most of the best had emmigrated to the US anyway) and a small research reactor.
    So while there was some nuclear research, there never was a atomic bomb or anything close to it in Germany.

    And the tunnels? The whole 3rd Reich and it's occupied territories were tunneled mostly for the purpose of weapons production.

  4. Re:Someone tell him to slow down! on Heinz Zemanek Passes At 94 · · Score: 1

    At 94 km/h you are considered a traffic obstacle on an austrian Autobahn.
    At 94mp/h you are considered a rowdy and a madman ;-)

  5. Re:Best Computer name ever on Heinz Zemanek Passes At 94 · · Score: 2

    Actually his lectures at the Vienna Univiersity of technology are legendary.
    Mailüfterl versus Whirlwind is a very austrian thing.

  6. Re:America invented computers! on Heinz Zemanek Passes At 94 · · Score: 2

    Depends on how you define computer!
    Just look up Charles Babbage or Konrad Zuse.

  7. YESSS! on New Zealand ISP's Anti-Geoblocking Service Makes Waves · · Score: 1

    I wish, some providers did that here in Austria, where I live.
    It's the same story in many ways.

  8. Bullets? on The $5,600 Tablet · · Score: 1

    But are they bulletproof?

  9. They can do it, but should they do it on Scientists Create Pizza That Can Last Years · · Score: 1

    Who would really want THAT!?

  10. Streisand Effekt on UK Prime Minister Threatens To Block Further Snowden Revelations · · Score: 1

    Did someone say "Streisand Effekt" ?

  11. Sounds like a good way on Xbox 720 Could Require Always-On Connection, Lock Out Used Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    to get themselves out of the console business again

  12. 15€ Tax to anonymous artists to store my own on Austrian Blank Media Tax May Expand To Include Cloud Storage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The ridiculous aspect of this tax is, that when I fill my hard disc with pictures I took myself with my own camera I would still hav to pay for example ca 15 € for a 1TB hard disc which can be bought for as little as 63€ (external USB 3.0)

  13. Super (James) Randi on Indian Man Charged With Blasphemy For Exposing "Miracle" · · Score: 1

    to the rescue!!

  16. Prior Art! on Egypt to Copyright Pyramids and Sphynx · · Score: 1

    Sorry, Mate!

    No Chance to copyright icecubes from Greenland.
    The icelanders are already selling icecubes from their glaciers ;-)

  17. Open Office in a large municipal environment on OpenOffice.Org in a Corporate Environment? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It may not address your specific problem so much, but still be of interest for you:
    The Citiy of Vienna is currently making a partial "soft" shift to OSS on the workplace, using a selfdeveloped debian-based distribution called Wienux (Wien is the german name for Vienna) that also includes Open Office.
    Open Office is also beeing used on workplaces still using Windows and users are encouraged - but not forced - to switch to OO.
    See more at: http://www.wien.gv.at/ma14/oss.html.
    It's mostly German, but some of the Information is available in English too.

  18. A Wiener and proud of it on City of Vienna Chooses Linux · · Score: 1

    I'm a Wiener and proud of it, even more so because of WIENUX

  19. Mojira ? on Godzilla To Retire (for now) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does that mean, I've actually been using Mojira all this years?

  20. What's the big thing ? on Seattle Monorail & California High Speed Rail Move Forward · · Score: 1

    I'm from good ol' Europe (Austria) and I really wonder, what's the big thing about monorails?
    I haven't heard or read a word about any projects in Europe and nobody seems to care about the here, but in the US they seem to be "the next big thing" in transportation.
    What makes them so appealing?
    What are the real advantages?

  21. Justified trolling on Dynamic HTML The Definitive Reference (2nd edition) · · Score: 1

    You're dead right here and your trolling is absolutely justified. I've been in the business for years and the best book can't replace a fair deal of experience. You've got to make your share of mistakes to learn how to do right.

  22. Earlier attempts on Fun with Fingerprint Readers · · Score: 1

    German IT-magazine c't found the same weaknesses in fingerprint sensors a few month ago. They were able to fool the some sensors simply with wax. Costs even less and is even faster.

  23. SuSE 7.2 aboslutely painless on 2.4, The Kernel of Pain · · Score: 1

    One of our machines (server, not desktop) has been running with kernel 2.4.0 (SuSE 7.2) absolutely painlessly and without any noteworthy problems for month now.

  24. Vapor (hard)ware ? on New Linux PDA Announced At CES Today · · Score: 1

    Linux is certainly a great OS and the idea of a Linux PDA is quite appealing. But it would be far more appealing if only I could finally find one in the shops in Austria, where I live.
    So far I've heard many annoucements, but what really counts for me is, when will I finally be able to buy one?

  25. XBox - LinuXBox ? on Another Xbox Anatomy Lesson · · Score: 1

    I just wonder how long it will take until the first Linux Haxk of an XBox will be around?
    Any bets? 2 weeks, 3 weeks?
