  1. DAB transmitters on Norway To Become First Country To Switch Off FM Radio (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    No one seems to have mentioned that each DAB multiplex uses the same frequency for all transmitters. The signal is buffered and syncronised. Neighbouring FM transmitters for the same station has to use different frequencies. This frees up a lot of spectrum.

  2. Smaller screen on Google Unveils Pixel and Pixel XL, the First Phones It 'Designed Inside and Out' (www.bgr.in) · · Score: 1

    Why is the screen .2 inch smaller than the 6P?

  3. Re:Netflix does a "Norway" on Starting Now At Netflix: Unlimited Maternity and Paternity Leave · · Score: 1

    Is that subsidised by the government in Norway though? There's a lot of oil money floating around up north.

  4. Netflix does a "Norway" on Starting Now At Netflix: Unlimited Maternity and Paternity Leave · · Score: 5, Informative

    So, more or less how it is for everyone here in Norway.

  5. Re:Urgent? on Arctic Investigation Underway Into Solar Storm Sat-Nav Disruption · · Score: 1

    I think they main reason why this is getting attention now is the oil industry. There are large oil reserves in the Arctic and accurate positioning data is needed when drilling oil wells.

  6. Re:Google doesn't sell many products on Google Discontinues On2 Flix Engine Video Encoder · · Score: 2

    They sell Google Earth Pro and Google SketchUp Pro.

  7. Wrongfully claims Smalltalk first OO language on A Non-Dogmatic History of the GUI · · Score: 1

    The article, on page 3, states that Smalltalk was the world's first object-oriented programming language. However, Wikipedia says that it is based on Simula. The Simula article on Wikipedia says: "Simula introduced the object-oriented programming paradigm and thus can be considered the first object-oriented programming language and a predecessor to Smalltalk, C++, Java, and all modern class-based object-oriented languages."

  8. Re:Disk space is cheap. Why bother deleting? on How Do You Store and Reconcile Email Archives? · · Score: 1

    If you're scared of getting caught, why not encrypt it all?

    Because it would be a crime not to decrypt it if the government demands you to do so.

  9. Re:gimp and sane illegal on 27 Central Banks Push Anti-Counterfeit Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    Notes are identical across the EU.

    No they are not. Several countries have not joined the European Monetary Union, like UK, Denmark and Sweden.
