  1. I'd pronounce it like.. on Håkon Responds to Questions About CSS and... · · Score: 1

    "Hawk-on"

  2. Re:Ä, not A on Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda · · Score: 5, Funny

    In swedish, the word "bläk" means something like "yuck" in english... appropriate, maybe?

  3. Re:How does this stack up to IE? on Firefox 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite 1.7 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Linux has had hibernation for a long time.
    It is included in the main kernel, and I use it every day. Works flawlessly.

  4. only java applications..? on Motorola A768 Phone Loaded With Open Source · · Score: 1

    how open is the interface to the phone? I imagine it it impossible to run native applications on it... but I can't find any info on it.
    Any clues?

  5. Re:About the name on Motion Controlled Smartphone Previewed · · Score: 1

    Nopes, the only meaning of "origo" in swedish is for the Origin (Point O) of a coordinate system. So "putting in the center" might make sense.
    But "origo" is not a swedish word at all.

  6. Re:Windows ATMs on Windows ATMs by 2005 · · Score: 1

    Another example of a swedish ATM... "Out of virtual memory"..

  7. used in PGP? on AES Announced as Federal Standard · · Score: 1

    I can't see any info about AES being adopted in the PGP framework. Anyone knows how this work is progressing? (or has even started..)

  8. Re:What "I" wanna know is: on Linux Breaks 100 Petabyte Ceiling · · Score: 1

    if we say, just out of the blue, that we can fit around 80x60 chars on a page, and that we print on both sides of a page. Then we say that each page is like 1/40000 m thick (that is, a book of these with 4000 pages is 1dm thick.) Now, if we printed all 144Pb on these pages, it would make up a pile of 3.6e8 m, or just about the distance to the moon (3.8e8 m).. yes, it would fit the library of congress...

  9. do not bother, folks on Lord of the Rings Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1

    this trailer does not show anymore than the last... (luckily December is here soon... ;)

  10. maybe offtopic on Mapping Ground Zero with Lasers · · Score: 1

    ..but does anyone know what happended with the attempt to dig out the below-ground areas under WTC?

  11. The great city of R'lyeh! on Pillars Underwater · · Score: 1

    The tales tell of the sunken city. Hidden deep under the waves the great old ones sleep.
    beware, my friends! This might disturbe them.
    That is not dead which can eternal lie and through strange aeons even death may die..
    Ia! Ia! Cthulhu ftaghn! Cthulhu fhtagn. Cthulhu. R'lyeh. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

    oh, sorry for not pointing out i was ironic... ;)

  13. Re:Yeah, right... on (Nearly) Zero-Force Keyboard · · Score: 1

    don't you get it! it is a reversed picture!
    What looks like a right hand is then a left hand...simple

  14. fingerprint...maybe on Authentication Via Geographical Location? · · Score: 1

    perhaps there could be some way of reading a fingerprint, or other physical unique print (DNA, iris,..), and then sign it with the GPS signal and some other nice cryptographic signature.
    But, ofcourse, how can one be sure that the physical print signal really comes from the same location?
    Maybe if we had a way to measure the round-trip time between the reader and the GPS - sorta like a ping. hmm.. I think it could be done without (easy) spoofability. what do you think?
