  1. Re:How about the damn US? on Standard Cellphone Chargers For Europeans · · Score: 1

    You know that chargers are light enough to carry around, do you? And does your phone's battery really run out so quickly that you need to have it connected to a charger all the time?

  2. I feel better on Being Slightly Overweight May Lead To Longer Life · · Score: 1

    I must say that I usually feel better when I'm 2 or 3 kilos over the maximum weight that I may have according to the BMI 'norm.'

  3. Re:OEM Prices Please on Exchange Rates Spell High Prices for Windows 7 In the EU · · Score: 1

    Really? I always thought the install process didn't work with OEM copies. I will try it on my laptop once, because the Windows I had there has crashed beyond repair anyway. Thanks.

    Yeah, I misspelt. I OWN a Mac, I didn't win it.

  5. Re:OEM Prices Please on Exchange Rates Spell High Prices for Windows 7 In the EU · · Score: 1

    I also bought a retail copy, because I won a Mac and can't use an OEM version. I guess many more people are in my situation.

  6. Re:Car crash on New Lithium-Air Battery Delivers 10 Times the Energy Density · · Score: 1

    I guess there is only enough litium in those batteries to make them go 'poof' anyway. I don't think it will be very spectacular.

    I bet you have to poke the eels with a stick to make the car go faster, am I right? :)

  8. Car crash on New Lithium-Air Battery Delivers 10 Times the Energy Density · · Score: 1, Interesting

    It would be intersting to see what happens during a car crash in the rain when one of the cars is equiped with those batteries.

  9. I don't get it on Spammer Alan Ralsky Pleads Guilty · · Score: 1

    I don't get it anymore. Someone shares 24 songs online and she gets a 1.92 M$ fine, and this guy, who annoyed a whole lot of people and got money for that too, only gets a 1 M$ fine? So if you do something for others you are fined more than when you annoy people because you get money for it? Unbelievable. What happened to the Land of the Free?

  10. Re:NYCL on How RIAA Case Should Have Played Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Then you get the mess that is America.

  11. Re:NYCL on How RIAA Case Should Have Played Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nonsense. A good capitalist is someone who makes a lot of money. How that money is made is of no concern whatsoever. The morals of capitalists have to be imposed by the government.

  12. You don't need a phone on Best Handset For Freedom? · · Score: 1

    You don't need a phone, you need a television studio, preferably one previously owned by the government. With so many people demonstrating it should be relatively easy to occupy one and spread your message.

  13. Re:There's only one obvious choice... on Best Handset For Freedom? · · Score: 1

    Great post. Thank you for keeping your head straight. We need people like you on this planet. If I had mod points I would mod you up.

  14. Police state on British Court Rules Against Blogger Anonymity · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you live in the EU but also want to live in a police state, look no further. Great(?) Britain is the place to be.

  15. Re:Apple's fascination with single button mice on Fifteen Classic PC Design Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I guess the Mighty Mouse is a bit too young to be called a failure of the past already.

  16. Re:5 to 10 years. on Real Nanotechnology Getting Closer, Says Drexler · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just around the corner! No, really!

    And while I'm at it: many things that are now called 'nanotechnology' were formerly called chemistry or submicrometer fabrication. 'Nano' has become way overhyped and a way to get more money for research proposals.

  17. Re:Why is twitter hate so cool around /. on Twitter "Twitpocalypse" Snags Mac, iPhone Apps · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Some fads last long. See Second life, or SUVs. Both useless but it took a long time for most people to realize that.

  18. Emergency button on Apple Patent To Safeguard 911 Cellphone Calls · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have the Chinese takaway programmed in my emergency button. You need that much more than 911 (or 112 in Europe).

  19. Re:Let's start with the truth on The Anti-ODF Whisper Campaign · · Score: 1

    Oh yummie! You got to ask yourself why MS made Word so crappy with such good examples to learn from.

  20. Red? on How To Sponsor an Open Source Sprint · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why is the header red on the home page?

  21. Standard here in NL on Security Firms Fined Over Never-Ending Subscriptions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Here in the Netherlands automatic renewal of subscriptions to anything is standard. You have to call or write to the organization to stop your subscription by the next renewal period. This is extremely annoying and tedious of course. I'm so glad I have an American provider for my websites and email! Every year I get an email from them, in which they ask me in a friendly way to renew my subscription. That's the way I like it!

  22. Re:I know one person that can do it on For Airplane Safety, Trying To Keep Birds From Planes · · Score: 0

    Donald Rumsfeld can do it.

  23. Re:Let's start with the truth on The Anti-ODF Whisper Campaign · · Score: 1

    WP 5.1 was much much better than word, even though is was not graphical. You could place tables and pictures exactly where you wanted them, and it knew that a caption is supposed to stay with the table or picture. Every word processor out there is rubbish compared to WP 5.1.

  24. Re:Unless you bitch in all the other threads... on Using the iPhone As a Pointing Device For the Real World · · Score: 1

    He DOES deserve +5, Mr or Ms fanboi. The iPhone is way too much overhyped, and posting an article from 2007 now makes no sense at all. I like Apple stuff, but you can only write so much about a product before you exhaust yourself.

  25. Abroad on Palm Pre Is Out, Time For Discussion · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This seems like the phone I have been waiting for. When will it be available in the Netherlands? How much will it cost?
