  1. Re:Different Meaning on MTV Nominates Game Tracks, Misses Point · · Score: 0

    I agree.

    For the Oscars there are two oscars for music (Score/Song). And of course MTV will start out with only selecting Song. Perhaps they will include Score at a later point.

  2. One tracked mind on Converting Images Into Sounds for the Blind · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just noticed that the first three post were about porn ;-)

    There most be better use for this technology, but apperently there arent. ;-)

  3. Finally blind people can experience online porn on Converting Images Into Sounds for the Blind · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally blind people can experience online porn ;-)

  4. Re:How about an ecosystem on Plants for Cubicles? · · Score: 1

    Here is the real link, so there is no need to cut-and-paste.

  5. How about an ecosystem on Plants for Cubicles? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can have your very own ecosystem, complete with water and fish. It will not need any care (only a little light), since the bowl is completely sealed.

    I thought of buying one myself, just for the geekfactor.

  6. Wireless problems on Centrino-based Linux Laptops · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I think that the reason Intel initially had the ban, was that the wireless chipset in the centrino laptops had no Linux drivers for a long time. (Am writing this on a machine with a Centrino "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG" wireless chipset.

    But now the drivers are mature enough for most use, so there is really no need to have a ban anymore.

    Btw. in order for a computer to bear the centrino mark, it needs to use Intels own chipset for wireless etc. Really clever: Use a lot of money on comercials for centrino technology and then require that everything within the box is made by your company. ;-)

  7. Re:You'll still be carrying multiple IDs on Blunkett Backs Down on UK ID Cards · · Score: 0

    I live in Denmark, and to elaborate a little on how a working ID-card system is functioning.

    In 1968 everybody in Denmark got a number, and since that day every person that have been born in Denmark have also got such a number.

    And YES, this means that the government can track you and that you will have to tell the government where you live.

    But it also means that many things become much easier for the individual person in Denmark, and that it very difficult to cheat the government.

    To avoid abuse of this system, very strict laws prohibit that many different government databases are linked together.

    This system have been working very well for more than 35 years, and most danes are happy about it.

  8. Bender Says on Global Internet Telescope Tops Hubble's Resolution · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the lunar lander and the blackjack. Ahh, screw the whole thing!

  9. Re:Does this mean on Global Internet Telescope Tops Hubble's Resolution · · Score: 1, Funny

    I think it does, now if we only could convince people that the image generated by the telescope is not part of a government cover-up ;-)

  10. Re:my favorite on Favorite Programming Language Features? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I should have used the preview button. The code got screwed up. Here is the real code:

    qsort [] = []
    qsort (x:xs) = qsort [y | y <- xs, y < x] ++ [x] ++
    qsort [y | y <- xs, y >= x]

  11. Re:my favorite on Favorite Programming Language Features? · · Score: 1

    Haskell code can look absolutely beatifull. Just look at this short qsort algorithm. I don't know of any other language where you can write an algorithm this simple.

    qsort [] = []
    qsort (x:xs) = qsort [y | y = x]

  12. No problem in Denmark on SMS Messaging Unreliable · · Score: 1

    I would say very close to 100% here in denmark, if the sms is send (the phone answers "your sms has now been send" instead of "your sms has not been send" when you send the sms) it will "always" be receive by the receiver.

    Btw. Your poor thing, you don't have sms, don't know how I would live without it.

  13. Re:READ THE PDF! on Top 10 Vulnerabilities in Web Applications · · Score: 1

    Anyone got the PDF mirrored?

    http://www.owasp.org/ seems to be slashdotted.

  14. Not Illegal In Denmark on Chip a Playstation, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Thank good it's not illegal to modify hardware in Denmark. It is also legal to sell modified DVD-players etc. Too bad that it is getting increasingly more difficult to get the chips.

    Personally I think it is very odd that it should be illegal to modify a piece of hardware. That compares to not alllowing to put spoilers on a car.

  15. Re:I'll use it when Debian packages it. on Apache 2.0 Goes Gold! · · Score: 1

    I'll use it when it hits the testing distibution of Debian
