    Not so bad...you can use the curse of the azure bonds one too.

  2. Re:PACER on Civil Suit Filed, Involving the Time Zone Database · · Score: 1

    18. As a direct and proximate cause of defendant Olsonâ(TM)s unlawful and wrongful publication of some and/or any portion of the Works, he has unlawfully deprived plaintiff of income it would have otherwise derived from sales of the same, and has wrongfully and unlawfully asserted that the information and/or date taken from the Works is in the âoepublic domain.â

    Please open your "The American Atlas" book on page xxx and type the offset for your current timezone:

    Yeah..pretty sure I would have bought the book seeing the comfort it offers. Or are they talking about the ACS Atlas database for timezones? I really have no clue there...but the so called copyright infringement seems to be from the book version (At least that's how I read the tzdata comments). So...someone took a lot of numbers from a book and put them in a textfile database. Later the rights on that book get sold and the new owner also creates a DB with those numbers...and complains someone else had that idea before? For my uneducated mind this only makes at least a little bit of sense if the problem lies in taking the numbers from the book...what leads to my first comment again. ;) (Not that I think allowing a copyright on those numbers in the first place makes sense)

  3. Re:I guess on UN Climate Report Fails To Capture Arctic Ice: MIT · · Score: 1

    Ahm...not at all? I thought the the amount of space water skrinks at melting is the amount of space the ice has above the surface of the water. So if ice melts the space it takes in the oceans will be the same.

  4. Re:Change is too radical in Gnome 3 on Linus Torvalds Ditches GNOME 3 For Xfce · · Score: 1

    The deal breaker on the KDE4 side for me is the constant auto popping of the desktop widget controls. If there was a buttom which fixes them for good so that I do not have to see them on every hover I would be sold over again.

    In general I don't care what desktop someone uses...everyone should just use that they find most suitable for them so please don't take this as "But KDE has this" and rather as a hint ;) Right-click the desktop (free desktop area...can also use that strange desktop toolbox at the top right) -> Lock Widgets. I would go crazy with KDE if those control elements of widgets popped up all the time.

  5. Re:That's some fine police work, boys on PSN Up, And Then Down Again · · Score: 1

    My point was more that it's no real comfirmation mail asking for comfirmation to change your password but more a notification that it was changed and now you have to do something if it wasn't you who changed it...but obviously I was somehow wrong in that assumption. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430574/ says there is a comfirmation mail before that one...it just doesn't matter or is needed for this "hack".

    Confimation mail?

    This email confirms that your PlayStation(R)Network password account has been changed successfully. If you did not change your password⦠This email has been sent to you because the password for the relevant PlayStation(R)Network account has been changed. If you did not change your password, please contact Customer Support at the following address: networksupport@uk.playstation.com The PlayStation(R)Network Team

    Looks more like a cancel-mail for me...something like: If you really read this and even comprehend what this means (mail has more than 144 characters and we talk about a lot of kids there) you are free to send us a mail which probably gets lost within all those other question mails about when PSN will be fully functional again.
