    May I have your contact information? I would like to hire you next time I need to write a come-on for an item I'm trying to peddle :P

    Oh and the image on the article is 120% superfluous. Fucking /. 2.0.14.b1.

    The method wasn't very scientificy, sample size was small and they skewed the results by "knowing" what kind of results they want.

  4. Re:Possibly, but unlikely on Natal Technology a Gift To the Disabled, Amputees · · Score: 2, Informative

    My father was color blind. Apart from buying atrocious outfits on his own, it didn't affect much of his life.
    Only thing that bothered him, was that he wanted to enjoy visual arts like paintings and tried some oil painting himself.

    You are both mistaken. Milky Way does not contain neither peanuts nor nougat. It is made out of condensed kinder eggs.

    Umm, no. That does not give it justice. Sorry I can't give any pictures myself, but I can see it in winters very clearly myself. I would describe it as a dense band of less luminous stars creating a very distinct path across the sky.
    You know it when you see it.

  7. Re:Well... I could. on One Fifth of World's Population Can't See Milky Way At Night · · Score: 4, Funny

    I live in a small town in Finland. Actually at the outskirts of the town. I just love the sensation, when on a clear winter night, I tilt my head back I can see the steam emanating from my body, illuminated by the moon. And after couple of seconds of adjusting can see a clear image of the milky way across the sky.

    After this I roll naked in the snow, take a shot of Koskenkorva, yell 'PERRRRKELE' and head back to the sauna. Amazing! =)

    (Haha, no need to thank for the mental image!)

    Jesus christ. Do not go down the slippery slope of person tracking. Your daughter just learned a lesson: check for yourself if you are going to the righ tbus. This scenario will not play again because your unique biological learning device just got smarter.
    I have a 4 year old daughter. I try to explain why I forbid certain things. In the end, I let her hurt herself doing something stupid, as that seems to be the most efficient way of bringing the lecture to the lasting memory. "See, this is exactly what I was talking about, remember?"

  12. Re:Ignorance more freely begets confidence... on The Perils of Pop Philosophy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Theology is useless. There is nothing to discus about religious matters. There's no magical zombie jesus, allah or whatever. It would be better to stop talking about religion all together.
    No one should educate themselves about any religion. There is nothing of value to learn. You can learn about ethics without the mindfuck that religion is.

  15. Re:That's "dilithium" on Ultra-Dense Deuterium Produced · · Score: 1

    Apparently there aren't any fruits which contain Vitamin D

    Your skin creates vitamin D in sunlight. Just open the blinders or use artificial light which resembles earths suns spectra.

    I learned this when we had our child. You need to feed infants vitamin D supplements because their skin does not yet create it, or the skin is not tough enough to handle enough sunlight, or its just too fucking dark here in Finland most of the year... Or something or another... :)

  17. Re:Cars on Alienware Refusing Customers As Thieves · · Score: 1

    Here in Finland you can be charged for Concealment of Stolen goods if you do not return the goods to the rightful owner when ownership is proven. You have to press charges for Fraud against whoever sold the goods to you to reclaim your money. Collecting from some random scumbag may prove impossible, but tough luck, you should have been more careful while making the trade.

  20. Re:Of course we will... on No More OpenMoko Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While I was working on Nokia 7710 we had a batch of prototypes which had malfunctioning circuit in the charge control, which caused the phone to discharge the battery completely if left alone for long enough. We destroyed quite a load of batteries before a proto manager figured out what was going on.

    (And yeah, Nokia had an "iPhone" years ago. Badly marketed, too expensive and touchscreen&scalable UI postponed for years because of internal s60/s90 politics war. Still pisses me off :))

  21. Re:Dangerous on Virtual World, Real Banking · · Score: 3, Informative

    Considering that entropia is merely a glorified casino, I am very surprised it they are actually granted the license.

    I tried "playing" entropia for maybe 20 bucks a year or two back. Atleast then it was blindingly obvious that the success revolved around chance and diminishing profits. I tried hunting and mining. Manufacturing seemed too expensive to even start with. Munitions for mining and repairing for hunting were just slightly more expensive than the profits even when carefully done.

  25. Re:This is just awful. on Bill Gates' Plan To Destroy Music, Note By Note · · Score: 1

    Actually I think the remakes are rather impressive for computer generated music. The quality would be greatly improved with proper sound samples. I think MS research just used some old ripped 808 synth samples or other such crap.
