    lol I'm Norwegian, but thanks for the concern.

  2. Re:Why Do Anything? on Drunken Parrot Season Starts in Australia · · Score: 1

    As the world gets ever bleaker, more and more turn to drink. It's not just parrots.

    Anyone wanna join me in Norway? Wealthy, non-EU state with lots of jobs!

    All in all, morale was actually doing quite well under Hurd.

    Which site did you work at?? During my internship (2009-2010) morale was all but nonexistent, someone resigned nearly every month I was there, people sold off their shares and were generally pretty miserable, preparing their CVs.

  5. Re:Nucular on Accent Monitoring: Innovation Or Rights Violation? · · Score: 1

    It's considered stupid. Like people who say "would of", "all of the sudden", "for all intensive purposes", and people who use a variety of misplaced apostrophes (such as people who represent the year 1997 as 97' instead of '97), to name a few things.

    So this is that rarest of birds, the "programming hipster".

  7. Re:Government action vs. Corporate Action. on Accent Monitoring: Innovation Or Rights Violation? · · Score: 1

    Almost, except where you said "I could care less". I think you mean "I couldn't care less". If you could, the point you are making does not really make sense.

  8. Re:OSS != DIY for most people on Why We Love Things We Build Ourselves · · Score: 1

    Exactly, a more apt analogy is something like a Caterham car.

    Supplied in parts, so you can build it yourself, or you can buy it from a company that assembles them for you.

    Yes, Swiss, not Chinese lol

    Swiss TLD is certainly a good choice, what with Switzerland being very independent, and often resilient to pressure from other countries.

  12. Re:SQL injection? Really? on FBI Arrests LulzSec and Anonymous Hackers · · Score: 1

    It does raise some serious questions about how clever the so-called experts are, at all these three-letter agencies.

  13. Re:This is News to Them? on Microsoft Dumps Partner For Fake Support Call Scam · · Score: 1

    Kind of sad in a way, but I would not be able to resist messing with them a little bit. Maybe then talk to them about identifying a scam, and educating them a little bit.

  14. Re:Irrelevant? on Alcatel-Lucent Boosts Copper Broadband To 100Mbps · · Score: 1

    I live in a city in the UK which supposedly has some of the fastest broadband in the country. Yet, i rarely touch 1mbps (usually between 500-700k). This costs me £20 per month. It is uncapped, but I dont know why I bother paying extra for that, not like I could possibly max out my allowance anyway.

    At least you dont have to live around a bunch of people who are getting 20-50mb and rubbing it in your face.

  15. Re:Irrelevant? on Alcatel-Lucent Boosts Copper Broadband To 100Mbps · · Score: 1

    I am lucky to get 30, usually sit at 40-50 and thats only on foreign servers (ironically), to UK servers its usually higher than that.

  16. Re:This is News to Them? on Microsoft Dumps Partner For Fake Support Call Scam · · Score: 1

    You dont know how lucky you are! I would relish being phoned up by these people. The trolling potential is enormous. Set up a recording device, string them along, it is ever so funny picking them apart, dissecting their lies.

  17. Re:Questions from an MMO Fan on Ask Jennifer Granick About Computer Crime Defense · · Score: 1

    I am guessing this was not a game that required a subscription service, but at the same time relied on the developers' servers to run (see Modern Warfare 2, which is free to play online once you have bought it, but it will not work if IWnet stop the service. So then what have you paid for?)

  20. Re:Wrong target Anonymous (cowards) on Anonymous Kills Websites, Cartels Kill Bloggers · · Score: 1

    They dont want support. They want lulz. This is achieved by finding easy targets, not from selecting targets based on an ulterior motive (except those cases of orchestrated DDOS against certain websites).

  21. Re:Discussion on flashback on Famous Wildlife Photographer Busted For Using Stock Images · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Är aktiv jägare och läste på jägareförbundets blogg om naturfotografen Terje Hellesøs bilder och huruvida dom var äkta eller inte. Själv blev jag mycket skeptisk när jag kollade in hans sida, men jag är helt okunnig vad gäller fotografering så jag frågar expertisen här vad ni anser. Jag är inte okunnig vad gäller djur och natur och Terjes berättelser om hur han "blir vän" med lodjur etc. låter väldigt tvivelaktiga. Terjes sida där han även försvarar sina bilder:

    "Am active hunter, and read on the Hunter's [organisation] blog about the nature photographer Terje Helleso's pictures and whether they are real or not. Personally I got very sceptical when I looked at his page, but I am completely ignorant with regard to photography so I am asking the experts here what you reckon. I am not ignorant with regards to animals and nature, and Terje's explanations of how he "makes friends" with deer etc. sounds very suspicious. Terje's page where he even defends his pictures:"

  23. Re:Of Course on Purported FBI Report Calls Anonymous a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    You have missed my point completely, so your insulting response is all the more hilarious.
    Comparing the State's control of a country to a person's ownership of a tangible good is so inadequate of an analogy that it becomes absurd and not at all applicable. Whether my server is for LAN use or is open to the public, it is my property and I can decide exactly what happens on it. This black and white paradigm cannot possibly applied to a government's control of a country, no matter how much you want it to.

    The difference being I own the server, paid for it, it is mine. The government does not own my country, nor does it own me.
