  2. Re:I wold love a car that drives itself... on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    That's why I often take the train for long distances. Train isn't always handy, though.

  3. Re:Now to bring them back on Mystery of the Dying Bees Solved · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a bit more complicated because bees don't only die in America but also in Europe and maybe other places. I don't think bee colonies are moved over the Atlantic, are they? If not, the virus and fungus are probably transferred via people.

  4. Re:They bribe PC makers. No skill required. on Ubuntu Won't Moan To EU About Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I ran Linux for 10 years or so before switching to the Mac, and I've never looked back. Even with user-friendly distros like Ubuntu back then there were just too many little things that are very simple on a commercial system that took a lot of fiddling on Linux, and I had enough of it. But when Apple decides to start an app store for the Mac I will be back to Linux in just about a millisecond or so. Apple is getting more and more on my nerves with their stranglehold practices. The Mac has been in relatively quiet waters until now, but I'm afraid that with the next radically new versions that will change.

    Yeah man, the last 15 years have been a blast! Every year it was 'Linux on the desktop' year. Oh! The excitement!

  6. Laptop on Ubuntu Won't Moan To EU About Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I dunno. I can buy a desktop computer with no OS without problems, but try to get a laptop without an OS. Impossible! I think Ubuntu is allowed to complain about that.

    Yep, thank you RMS! You made the world a better place.

  8. I use my own server on Xmarks May Not Be Dead After All · · Score: 1

    I never used xmarks' server so I don't really see the need for paying for their service. I would pay for their software though. It's very handy and has been working flawlessly for me for quite some years now.

  9. Re:NASA erased the origionals? did I read that rig on Unseen Moon Landing Video Released · · Score: 1

    Because those tapes are recorded in an analog format instead of digital, which makes recovery impossible.

    Woosh.

    That's where you're wrong. All kinds of kids go to public schools, so they also have to give good education.

    No.

  13. Re:Apple on E-Books Are Only 6% of Printed Book Sales · · Score: 1

    The same holds for the "microsoft" tag, of course.

  14. Apple on E-Books Are Only 6% of Printed Book Sales · · Score: 1

    Why the hell is this story tagged "Apple?" Because the word "iPad" is in the summary? Come on Apple fanbois, this is low, even for you.

  15. Re:MeeGo? on Nokia Names Microsoft's Elop As New CEO · · Score: 1

    I have an N900. I like it a lot. It's not tied to anything, like the iPhone, and to a much lesser extend Android and Windows are.

  16. Re:MeeGo? on Nokia Names Microsoft's Elop As New CEO · · Score: 1

    I live in Europe. The US phone market is irrelevant to me. To Nokia too I guess, because it's such a small market. Only 300 million people against 550 million or so in Europe, and 2 billion or so in Asia and Africa.

  17. MeeGo? on Nokia Names Microsoft's Elop As New CEO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess this doesn't sound like good news for MeeGo. But maybe I'm too harsh. If Nokia really wants to be a big player in the smartphone market they will have to continue with MeeGo.

  19. Why on Pirate Bay Down; Police Raids Across Europe · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can't believe that filesharing is given such a high priority by governments in Europe. The entertainment industry must have a VERY strong lobbying organization to pull that off. It's a pity that rape victims and other sufferers from really bad crimes are not as well organized and don't have such deep pockets as the entertainment industry.
