  1. Re:And yet on Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted For TSA Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    In one of the early episodes they also had a cleavage-cam, i.e. it was mounted in the cleavage of a girl. It was angled so it showed, very clearly, when people looked down the cleavage. It was almost never when the girl her breast tied in, and all the time when she had a push-up bra.

  2. On poles? on Google Starts Running Fiber In Kansas City · · Score: 1

    I get that it's cheap to put on poles, but will it still be cheap after a couple of storms? I can't say that I've seen many poles inside a city in Sweden for, well, ever? Even in the country side there are barely any wires on poles left, even much of the electricity wires are dug down.

  3. Re:My guess on Eye of Tiger Composer Sues Gingrich To Stop Campaign From Using Song · · Score: 1

    And with only 14 years coverage, I suppose it would be ok to make my own closed fork of the linux kernel also?

    Only of a 14 year old copy of the kernel.

  4. EU ACTA Chief Resigns In Disgust on ACTA Signed By 22 EU Countries · · Score: 1

    Apparently not even the EU top ACTA people like the way it has been pushed (or rather shoved): http://falkvinge.net/2012/01/26/eu-acta-chief-resigns-in-disgust-over-disrespect-at-citizens-next-steps/

  6. Re:Not Surprise for MegaUpload on Megaupload Drops Lawsuit Against Universal Music · · Score: 1

    So when Facebook opens its new datacenter in Sweden, and they break a Swedish law, we can shut them down globally? Sweet!

  7. Re:Politicians we elected? You must be new here. on EU To Sign ACTA Later This Month · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are also a few good ones, and I admit I'm a little surprised things have gotten this far with Neelie Kroes (who is normally well-informed and a voice of reason) currently serving as Commissioner for the Digital Agenda.

    That might be because most of the ACTA stuff has apparently been handled by the EU fishery department.

  8. Re:Your name's not on the list, friend on Who's Flying Those Drones? FAA Won't Say · · Score: 1

    Tell us the one about the tooth-fairy, again.

    They are hard working women, but unfortunately have to pay for the ladder and pliers themselves.

  9. Re:Occupy != Terrorists on Why Richard Stallman Was Right All Along · · Score: 1

    You do NOT have the right to squat in public spaces until the world does things your way

    You think the same about the protesters on Tahrir Square in Cairo? Or can you please educate me about the difference?

  10. Re:Why are they such assholes? on Apple Threatens Bistro Over "AppleADay" Name · · Score: 1

    True story: While on a conference trip to Boston, some colleges tried to find the Apple store, only to end up at a store selling apples, as in the real fruit.

  11. Re:We're going to do what we do every day on What If Android Lost the Patent War? · · Score: 1

    I can see it now...

  12. Re:Nethack already did it. on Can Minecraft Change the Gaming Industry? · · Score: 1

    The odd thing about the UO experiment is that it had been done before, but the UO designers appeared to be ignorant of earlier online games like MUDs.

    Thats weird since the lead designer, Raph Koster, came from the MUD world.

  13. Timecube on The Future of Time: UTC and the Leap Second · · Score: 1

    I think we should standardize on the timecube.

  14. Had this in Sweden for years on The Future of Shopping · · Score: 1

    I have seen it for over six or so years, and been using it for at least four. It is now fully automated: Draw your customer card to get a scanner unit, enter the store and put stuff in your bag while scanning them, put the scanner at its stand, draw customer card and credit card at a touch-screen station.

    Simple, quick and no need to stand in a line. :)

  15. Re:One question they did not answer on Lodsys Responds To In-App Purchasing Patent Controversy · · Score: 1

    That's what investors are for. And if you have a patent on the item, then you should be able to get some investors willing to help you out.

    And your example is retarded. The engineer should be starting a business making those solar cells. If he's not going to try and take advantage of the idea, then he has no business stopping someone else from doing it.

    That is retarded. What if the engineer is only in it for the fun of it? Just to see if he (or she) really can do something? If the engineer don't want to become a businessman or pointy-haired boss?

    7 Think of how boring WoW or Eve Online (I'm not a big console player) would be in single player mode, for example. 7

    Single Player World of Warcraft...

    You mean Warcraft? Or Warcraft 2? Or Warcraft 3?

  17. Re:Buy a PDMI dock with USB and HDMI on Samsung Unveils Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy S II · · Score: 1

    Which means you need another thing to lug around. A dock is good to have at home and/or in the office, but how many bring theirs docks with them when traveling light?

  18. Re:What's interesting about Android on Android Tablets Were Born Too Soon · · Score: 1

    Yes the upgrades for most Android phones are non-existing, but it's not better for feature phones either. So I would say that it's pretty as it always have been, with Apple upping the ante.

  19. Re:No, there is due process. on US Dept. of Justice, ICE Still Seizing Domains · · Score: 1

    And you are entitled to petition Congress. And the Supreme Court. And the President.

    Even non-US citizens?

    Not much different from Mousetrapper it seems.

  21. Re:I guess they wanted free porn. on Porn Site Gave Federal Agents Free Rein · · Score: 1

    Wrong. People swap kiddie porn all the time. There have been numerous busts of child abuse rings where people were swapping homemade kiddie porn.

    Thats true. One of these rings was busted in Sweden earlier this year, but unlike most (if not all other) such actions, only a couple of men were arrested. Most of the people (like 25 or so) were women!

  22. Re:You do know what Guy Fawkes was fighting for? on Chevron Got North Sea Contract Despite IT Safety Crashes · · Score: 1

    People like Fawkes because he tried to blow a lot of shit up. That's it, that's all the appeal.

    And a big explosion it would have been!

  23. Re:Nobel Peace Prize on US To Host World Press Freedom Day · · Score: 1

    The peace price is decided by Norway (whose capital Oslo, as a side note, is the worlds most expensive city to live in.)

  25. 150 Mbps sounds nice on Verizon Speeds Up FiOS To 150Mbps · · Score: 1

    And 35Mbps downstream is ok, but the price seems a little way off. I'm happy with my 100/100 Mbps for $30/month. (And no, I'm not from USA, I'm Swedish.)
