  1. Re:I18N on VeriSign Changes DNS Servers: No ASCII Needed · · Score: 1

    Could you use your native language and characterset in in IP addresses?

    Sure, that are just arabic numerals (for the people who don't know, the numbers 0-9 you use are arabic).
    I can also the standard a-z to make all the words in my language, except for the ones which need accents.

    Now, if you and I can do it, why can't other people?

    Why can you use your native language / characterset and aren't others not allowed to use theirs?

  5. Re:Why don't they use slashdots karma system on Slackware Forums Alive Again! · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You're not alone! I can't recall when was the last time I had mod points. I think I had them maybe once last year.

    Once per year? If I posted a comment which got modded up to 5 I would get some, every time. Until they changed from "Karma: 50" to "Karma: Excellent". Haven't seen a single modpoint since that day, despite a lot of 4s and 5s on my comments.

    I wouldn't mind a couple of points now and then. Specially if somebody has a good comment, just to give them a little pat on the back. Worked always for me :-)

  6. Re:simple solution. don't sell phones to kids! on Adult Content Revenue To Pay For UK 3G Licenses · · Score: 2

    Besides, as mobile phone ownership increases, pay phones will start to die out - who will need them? We'll all have mobiles...

    Just wait until you go overseas (and then I don't mean from the UK to the old continent) and find out that your mobile doesn't work, despite the fact that your provider promised it would and that the travel agency said it would.

  7. Registering 18+ on Adult Content Revenue To Pay For UK 3G Licenses · · Score: 5, Funny

    If the industry can persuade regulators that they can come up with a fool-proof way of registering phones that are owned by those who are 18 and above...

    Another fool-proof way. We all know how good they work! If you excuse me now, I have to go get some drinks for the kid next door.

  12. Re:WHy not just buy an existing processor on China Forges Ahead With 'Dragon' CPU · · Score: 2

    why not simply buy an existing chip manufacturer and start from there?

    If you know how much legal trouble an european based company has to go through before it can take over a US based chip-company, imagine how much trouble it will be for a china-based company!

  14. In other news... on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 2

    The BSA has just informed the US DoJ a letter saying they have three days to hand a list of all their computers, the software they are running and the licenses for the software. A spokesman for the BSA said "Of course this has nothing to do with the case against Microsoft, the law makers have to obey the law too. The normal patriotic courts in this beautifull country have nothing to fear, it's the ones which are against us we're after.".

    I wonder what was the last time you looked at Yahoo!. It's my yellow pages, it's my newspaper, it's for online-games for my wife. And yes, for websearching I use Google.

  16. Cloning Outlook doesn't hurt microsoft. on More On Kapor's Attempt To Best Outlook · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Cloning Outlook doesn't hurt Microsoft, it's the serverside which should be attacked.

    A couple of weeks ago my boss asked me to find a replacement for the calendar server in Exchange, one which would work with... Outlook.

    Nowhere to be found. I can replace the mail-part very easy (we're already doing that for years), the addressbook is nearly finished now (LDAP rules/sucks :-) but the calendar part of it? It's buried deep in the beast.

    And as long as you can't replace all what an Exchange server does, you won't have a chance in hell to replace Outlook.

  17. Pirated music killed the ISS! on NASA Consider "Demanning" Space Station · · Score: 2

    The Russian space program is doddering on the edge of financial collapse after several recent setbacks, including the failure of Lance Bass to pay up.

    That's it, I can't stand it any longer. Stop the piracy of music, the race for the stars must continue!

    I can't believe that he didn't have to pay upfront. Or was it an "If I don't reach the ISS(*), I don't have to pay?" (*) for whatever reason :-)

    Unless you make the mistake of stepping onto US soil. Then you get your ass tossed into jail for several months until you agree to come back and testify against yourself.

    Unless you are an US citizen brought for the International Criminal Court, then the US Army invades the country and sets you free! Pathetic, but the bills for it are signed.
