  1. Re:"use of force" on Is Crimea In Russia? Internet Companies Have Different Answers · · Score: 1

    NATO intervened in Yugoslavia after the Belgrade regime committed serious crimes against humanity

    Yeah, right. NATO intervened before all those serious crimes, just not so openly. They supported KLA (they were terrorist, then suddenly they were not; how convenient). But please, keep repeating same Sui generis bullshit, someone might believe you.

    The Russians made their own bed when they cut a deal with Hitler to slice up Eastern Europe. Had they joined forces with the Allies in 1939 it's probable that Germany would have been crushed and the Great Patriotic War would never have happened.

    Yeah, right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement

    Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was signed full year later.

    Well, it is a virus - just the Bosnian one:

    You just received Bosnian virus. As we have no programming experience this virus works on the confidence principle. Please remove all files from your hard disk and manually forward this virus to everyone in your address book.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    P.S. first send virus, then erase disk.

  7. Re:You made me a programmer on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81

    Mine too :)

    Actually I ended with two of them: one original zx-81 (brought in Germany) and Timex 1000 (US version). My uncle was a sailor and come home with Timex six months after I got zx-81 - I guess nobody remembered to cancel the order when we got the first one :)

    At that time (1983) Yugoslavia had really stupid import laws - for a few years you could not import computer if it had more memory than 64KB, so you could legally import Spectrum or Commodore 64 but not PC or something similar.

  9. Re:So did Sinclair ZX80 on Scanjet Music · · Score: 1
    In the 80's, the nerd thing to do was to write assembly programs for the Sinclair. IIRC, you would convert the opcodes (which we all knew by heart) to ASCII, write a REM line with that, and run it (which I don't recall how).
    All BASIC programs were located on some static, known address. If that REM line was first line of the program you could start that machine code by typing 'RAND USR address'. Same kung-fu worked on ZX Spectrum except that some peripherals as Interface1 or different joystick interfaces occupied some RAM space just after video memory so BASIC programs were located at different address.

  12. Re:identify codecs on Dealing w/ Codec Hell Under Multiple OSes? · · Score: 2, Informative
    There are programs out there specifically designed to identify the codec. Not to make a plug but I use a program called G Spot. It tells you what codec is need and where on your system is the codec supposed to be.

    ... and then go to the GalgoNET, download ACE Mega Codec Pack and install only codecs/filters that you absolutely need. Link to the page with few more details.

  13. Re:Anonimity necessary on Internet Security: Where Do We Stand · · Score: 1
    Because of the anarchistic, anonymous nature of the Internet, the Serbian authorities could do nothing to stop this flow of information between its citizens and the outside world, which meant that it could no longer censor all information. This not only gave the people of Kosovo who had some access to these Internet organisations hope and a sense of purpose during the conflict, but helped the international community better understand the circumstances in Kosovo during and after the conflict.
    You have not a f*ckin clue about internet in Yugoslavia. At that time Yugoslavia had only few links to other countries and the government could shut them down in a matter of minutes just if they wanted to do that.

    but helped the international community better understand the circumstances in Kosovo during and after the conflict.
    Yeah, right. Bomb first, understand later (if ever).

    OK, I'm a Serb so mod me as flamebait if you want.
  14. Re:There's no reason to trust MS cars, but..... on If Microsoft Built Cars... · · Score: 5, Funny
    I have not yet met the car that was utterly and completley sealed.
    In Yugoslavia (origin of ingenious Yugo car ;) we have a joke about car sealment:


    What is the difference between final control in Japanese and Yugoslav car factory?

    In Japan they put a cat in the car and seal the doors. Tomorrow if the cat is still alive that means that sealing is not good because air managed to get in.

    In Yugoslavia we also put a cat in the car but tomorrow we check is the cat still in the car or she managed to escape.

  15. Re:The sad truth... on Pentagon Wants IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 1

    I would like to see something critical go IPv6 exclusively. If... say, most of the world's search engines ran only IPv6, think of how much that would inspire people to adopt it, from the consumer all the way up to the corporations that rely on the consumer's business. We just need someone important enough to put their foot down and say "You must have IPv6... now."

    Not just search engines. Yahoo! could start serving their mail, chat, and games through IPv6 exclusively. MP3.com could only stream via IPv6...

    Adoption of IPv6 will be much faster if porn sites switch exclusively to it.
