  1. So... not a drive's licence on Finland Will Introduce a Mobile 'Driver's License' App (yle.fi) · · Score: 0

    It has nothing to do with driving or any kind of expertise needing a license. It's a digital identity card.

  2. Re:If these cases involved guns.... on Troll Complaint Dismissed; Subscriber Not Necessarily Infringer · · Score: 2

    What if the case involved a home owner? Someone got killed in a backyard, so the owner of the house has to be the one who's guilty. No trial needed.

  3. Re:Re-position the Planet on Earth-buzzing Asteroid Would Be Worth $195B If We Could Catch It · · Score: 1

    It can worth almost as much as a paid version of Openoffice. Now that's potential!

  4. Re:Good on Indiana Nurses Fired After Refusing Flu Shots On Religious Grounds · · Score: 1

    Did they gave you "Kane Madness"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV2eCTRFJbY

  5. Been there, done that. on All New Homes In China Must Have Fiber Optic Internet Connections · · Score: 2

    In Portugal it's mandatory since 2009 to equip new buildings with fiber optic cabling from the front door to each apartment, two fibers for every client, and a telecom cabinet housing equipment ready to be connected to the service provider.

  6. Metric all the way on USMA: Going the Extra Kilometer For Metrication · · Score: 1

    Obligatory Oatmeal reference: http://theoatmeal.com/pl/senior_year/science

  7. Re:This can't be true! on Michigan Makes It Illegal To Ask For Employees' Facebook Logins · · Score: 1

    Agreed. This would be unthinkable in Europe, and we're getting a rough time to find jobs interviews, worse than America.

  8. Already happening on European e-ID Announced · · Score: 2

    There is nothing (new) to be afraid of. Many countries in Europe are already establishing their own citizen's online identification framework for state services. This document only defines the need for all the systems to be inter-operative. Enough with the Big Brother mambo-jambo.

  9. Re:"fall-back .. to be eventually depreacated" on GNOME Shell No Longer Requires GPU Acceleration · · Score: 1

    I'm using Xubuntu 11.10 right now after switching from Fedora 15 and I couldn't be happier. Or you could just install the Xfce desktop on Fedora.

  10. I was OK with the URL on the location bar on Firefox 4 Beta 12 Released; Fixes Over 650 Bugs · · Score: 1

    The URL of the hovered link made sense up there, and the implementation was even better because we could see the end of the URL. Now in beta 12 I can't see if I'm clicking a link to a .exe file or to an html page.... when the link url is long enough. I wish I could have an option to display it back to the location bar. Besides, the new method doesn't show the url in the status bar. Even if I turn it on it still displays in a little popup in the lower screen.

  11. Re:Banned in the UK already on Activists Seek Repeal of Ban On Incandescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    CFL's can be nasty, but try buying a good decent Phillips CFL. It's costs 10 euros or more.... but it will give you quality light for years. I have a couple of those and they turn on instantly without any flickering or humming. Don't trust your eyes to a 10p bulb. Alternatively you can buy LED's, more expensive but also with a more natural light.

  12. They should! on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    My classroom usually only has 10 students and all of them have their laptop always on and the teacher is talking alone. No one even looks at the teacher or talks during the wole "class". You can't build a learning environment like this.

  13. Re:Caizen is actually spelt with a K on KDE 4.3 Released · · Score: 1

    The exact same thought stops me from reading the rest of the story. I always get stucK in Caizen.

  14. But at what cost? on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 1

    The only way Microsoft manages to keep Windows safe is by reducing usability.

  15. Well.. on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 1

    If we have one space ship moving at 70% the speed of light and another one from the opposite direction moving towards the first ship also at 70% the speed of light... then they're both moving above light speed relative to each other. So it looks possible.

  16. Fiber to the Cabinet? on BT Shows First Fiber-Optic Broadband Rollout Plans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's old news. In Portugal we're already developing a nation wide Fiber to the Home network. Everyone gets a fiber with 100Mb.
