  1. Re:Will Microsoft call on Burson-Marsteller to fix on Windows 8 Even Less Popular Than Vista · · Score: 1

    10% of the value or 10% of the votes? My guess is 10% of the value.

  2. 21:9 not new on LG Introduces Monitor With 21:9 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 1

    Philips have had a TV with that format for a few years, the Cinema 21:9.

    Couldn't find a non-Swedish site, as it's being discontinued.

  3. Ban dihydrogen monoxide! on Water Bottle Fills Itself From the Air · · Score: 1
  4. Re:The facepalm is strong with this one. on Apple Patents Page Turn Animation · · Score: 1

    Yes, but this is Apple, and they through different!

  5. Re:Grin on FreeBSD Throws the Clang/LLVM Switch: Future Releases Use LLVM · · Score: 1

    But if someone can just compile your software, why are they going to pay for it?

    Well, a company selling a GPL'd program don't have to give the source to anyone who ask, only the people/companies it distributes it to. So you can't compile it since you don't have it unless you pay for it.

  6. Re:Going to have a hard time topping modern remake on David Braben Kickstarts an Elite Reboot · · Score: 1

    The goal of £1250000 is for the minimum game, the trend (yeah, only first day and all that) is for it to end over £5600000 at the moment, which definitely puts it if not in AAA territory so at least close. And they say in the blurb that they already have some of the critical parts "already in place".

  7. Other space-flight-sims on Kickstarter on Will the Star Citizen Project Fund Linux and Mac Ports For CryENGINE 3? · · Score: 1

    If there is such a large support for the space-flight sim. genre in the Linux community, then they might consider Strike Suit Zero, with a stretch goal of $180k that will make them deliver a Linux version.

  8. Other Kickstarter game using Unity on Will the Star Citizen Project Fund Linux and Mac Ports For CryENGINE 3? · · Score: 2

    The developers of the futuristic racer Distance (12 days to go on Kickstarter) has tried a beta of Unity 4 on Linux, and now says that they will definitelly bring the game out on Linux as well.

  9. The enviromental Sweden on Sweden Imports European Garbage To Power the Nation · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Swedes are very good at recycling and waste separation. Even McDonald et al. have different trash bins for everything.

  10. More civilians in new wargames on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 1

    Seems like it would be a good idea to include more civilians in modern wargames, with serious repercussions if they get harmed.

  11. Do you trust your compiler? on Kaspersky's Exploit-Proof OS Leaves Security Experts Skeptical · · Score: 1

    Even if you get the source, can you trust your compiler?

  12. Re:The photo was cropped ... any rounded corner? on Leaked Photo Shows Touch-Screen BlackBerry 10 Phone · · Score: 1

    And the icons were in a grid!

    Which remind me, so was the icons of the LG Prada phone, and it has rounded corners as well. And is was both unveiled and on sale one month before the iPhone.

  13. Putting computers in oil on Intel Embraces Oil Immersion Cooling For Servers · · Score: 1

    People have been putting their computers in mineral oil for years, clocking their rigs to numbers that would be impressive even today. Must have been well over ten years since I read about it here on /. for the first time.

  14. Re:I am multilingual. on Birthplace of Indoeuropean Languages Found · · Score: 1

    Ah, you mean the ALGOL family.

  15. Bah, thats nothing! on NASA's Kepler Discovers Multiple Planets Orbiting a Pair of Stars · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when they find habitable planets with six suns.

  16. Re:Glad we still don't allow that here... on BBC Criticized For Snooping Under RIPA Powers · · Score: 1

    Well, I hope you don't have a radio as well, as in Sweden you need to pay the license for radios too.

  17. Re:One problem... on Curiosity Rover Fires First Laser Beam At Martian Rock · · Score: 1

    Since Mars has essentially no magnetic field,

    Well, it didn't have a magnetic field, but since it's mass recently increased 0.03% it now does.

  18. Re:conspiracy theories on Ecuador Grants Asylum To Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    The UK is strongly against the death penalty.

    And Sweden is not?

  19. Re:Extradition to US on Ecuador Grants Asylum To Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    They were obviously put there to threaten Ecuador.

    And not to control the around 100 and rather unruly protesters?

  20. Re:And now, the long wait on Ecuador Grants Asylum To Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    No, definitely not for free, as the person(s) responsible for that would be political outcasts in the whole of EU, and would have a hard time to find a job too, so that person(s) really would need to save up some extra money to live on.

  21. Re:Perhaps stuff might last longer now on Electronic Retailers In Europe Now Required To Take Back Old Goods · · Score: 1

    Also, the headline says "Europe", and there are still many European countries that are not members of the EU.

  22. Re:He has more incentive to save his 20% ! on Best Buy Founder Makes $8.5 Billion Bid To Take Company Private · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that the "investment trust" has to do a reorganization since the company is no longer making a profit, so more jobs will be "redundant".

  23. Re:Mirror Universe! on Sci-Fi Writers of the Past Predict Life In 2012 · · Score: 1

    And in the parallel Intel universe.

  24. Non-profit and ICANN? on US Resists UN Push For Control Over Internet · · Score: 1

    Considering the large sums involved in the new TLD debacle, could it really be called a "non-protif"? Although, it probably costs quite a lot to fly the board around to all those exclusive places and have their conferences in those five star hotels.

  25. How about Nordic wordlists? on Google Releases Android 4.1 SDK · · Score: 1

    That the 4.1 release is out is all good and well, but I'm still waiting for the Swedish wordlist for my 4.0 Galaxy Nexus. Much can be said about Apple, but at least the think about the customers in a way Google apparently never will.
