  1. Re:mmm.... on Future Army Battle Uniforms - Wired, Lethal · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be the M4A1?

  2. Re:XBox Laptop on Smaller XBox 1.5 Rumored In Japan · · Score: 1

    Copying Sony's idea with the PSone. So Microsoft.

  3. Re:CD-RW Drives are the Problem on When Copy Protection Fails · · Score: 2, Informative

    No way dude, you are all wrong.
    Regular CD-ROM drives can't read the copy protected CDs, whilst CDRW drives can. Why? They are a) newer (When did you upgrade your CDROM drive the last time? Do you even have one?) b) smarter. A regular CDRW drive has much more control of it's reading mechanism. Pop your copy protected CDs into a new Plextor drive, and voila!

  4. Re:How about this? on Looking for Unbiased War News? · · Score: 1

    That "Danish Guy" is Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Danish Prime Minister.

  5. Overclock your brain. on Brain Prosthesis Ready For Testing · · Score: 1

    OK, this is far, far away, but I can't wait to overclock my brain.
    -Hey dude, look, my brain is twice as fast as yours!
    -Yeah, but it makes you behave irregulary.

  6. Re:I got one. on Stupid Security · · Score: 1

    Well, the picture of the card is not sent via encrypted email, so it's not secure at all. Anyone sniffing up that mail will have the customers complete CC#, as well as a lot of additional info on the customer (if the ID is sent in the same mail).

  7. I got one. on Stupid Security · · Score: 3, Interesting

    US web-vendors that requires international customers to e-mail or fax in a copy of their ID and credit card. Mailing a picture of the card kinda defeats the purpose of the secure, encrypted order form.

  8. Alternative funding: RIAA on Meteorite Bowling · · Score: 4, Funny

    They could be dropping Ipod's and other mp3 players instead. I guess that would recieve some attention... "First mp3 player in space bombs".
    Of course, it wouldn't really be in space. But who trusts newspaper headlines anyway?

  9. Re:Some random comments on To The South Pole By Bike · · Score: 1

    I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe most parachute-packs that sports-divers use have altimeters and "auto-eject" when they reach a specific altitude.

  10. Watch out for the swedish translation. on The Art of Deception · · Score: 1

    I got the swedish translatin of this book as a christmas gift from my father. Although I find the book somewhat interresting, the translation could be better.

  11. Re:Not supreme court on 'DVD Jon' Acquitted On All Counts in DeCSS Case · · Score: 1

    I guess Aftonbladet is just straight off wrong (as usual). Read the Aftenposten article, and you will see what the court came to a verdict.

  12. Expensive? on A Cell Socket for Other Phones? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the states, but in Sweden it is dirt cheap (2 cents /minute) calling from land-lines, and costly (60 cents /minute) to use a cellphone. So loosing the land line is not very cost-effective.

  13. Sue them! on Is CRT Burn-In Still a Problem? · · Score: 1

    The case is clear. Their "screen saver" did just the opposite. You live in America don't you? :)

  14. Try 13 bux a pop... on When Theaters Make Ticket Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    That's the price for premiere tickets in Sweden. 100 SEK for the ticket, and 20 SEK just for the booking service. 120 SEK, and 9 SEK/USD. That's 13.33 USD. Of course, we get it at least 6 hours earlier, though :)

  15. It's a trick, get an axe. on Where Have all the 15" Displays Gone? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Apple just wants to sell larger, more expensive displays. It's as simple as that.

  16. The telco's will try to disturb it... on Building a Free Wireless Backbone? · · Score: 1

    If you try to take away their business, they will surely come up with something, like occupying the free network with worthless traffic.

  17. Re:Business ethics have nothing to do with it on American Companies Help China Censor the Net · · Score: 1

    Not true. You might get shot if you do it large scale and sell the copies, though :)

  18. As ironic as it is on Overview of Computational Biology · · Score: 1

    The one invention that has brought man as far away from nature as possible, is now helping us understanding it better.

  19. Re:Business ethics have nothing to do with it on American Companies Help China Censor the Net · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, not really.
    Ethics is allways ethics. Although, there are no universal ethics, but they are formed in every one of us after our free will. Some are greedier than others, and find it acceptable to sell their systems to non-democratic regimes.

    Who said the US is much better anyway? At least, in China, I can't get sued for making a backup copy of a DVD that I have legally purchased.

  20. Re:I'm waiting for.... on Drug Companies Plan Male Contraceptive Pill · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's easy as a bucket of chocolate; and called alcohol.

  21. "Computer speakers" are just a big fluke. on Computer Speakers on a Budget? · · Score: 1

    They sell semi-quality speakers for a full-quality price. I would buy a full mini stereo set from Sony or something, and then hook it up to the computer. Sure, Logitech speakers are good enough, but so are Sony ones. And you get more things for your money.

  22. Ask for battery time while you're at it. on Is Remote Keyless Entry Any Safer Than It Used to Be? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Don't forget to ask for battery time when you are at it. If the batteries run out quick, you will get very frustrated.

  23. Working out nice this far... on Slashdot is Moving. Help Load Test! · · Score: 1

    Yes, by the time I post this, the link is working :)

  24. Pretty soon, someone will sue him, I guess. on Lego Segway · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's patent infringement, right there. Someone's gotta have patented the two-wheel-balance, right?

  25. Battery time? on Archos Jukebox Multimedia Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Has anyone got any info on how long you can use the unit for wathing video? I know the display is really small, but it's better than nothing when sitting on a long distance flight not showing a movie. 1.5" 237 x 238 pixels isn't a dream, but, better then nothing.
