  1. Win-win for Pirate Bay on Pirate Bay Operators Stand Trial On Monday · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Swedish newspapers are saying either PB wins the trial and are free, or they lose and become martyrs.

    After the raid on the PB servers (which led to this trial) memberships of the Pirate Party trippled.

    A conviction (especially a prison sentence) will lead to an outrage that would completely erase the precious little good will the music and movie industry have with young people today. At least in Sweden.

  2. This is all good and fine, but... on New Possible Record Prime Number Found · · Score: 1

    ...why must all prime-numbers be generated by computors nowadays?
    Can humans be said to be responsible for them when the computors did it?
    What happened to that great tradition of searching for new prime-numbers by hand?
    I mean, how hard can it be?

    What did you say? 10 million digits? Well, is it that much really?

  3. Technology abuse on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    I gave a tripod to my brother's digital camera. When he got home, he couldn't really figure out how to fasten all the bolts and screws. He tried to explain it, but the phrase "I can't find the camera lock" didn't help very much.
    What to do?
    Of course, he took a picture of the tripod with his digital camera and e-mailed it to me. A quick look and I remembered that on this tripod (Velbon Cx-560) you turn the handle.
    Voila! We live in frightingly comfortable times, don't we?

  4. Various Nikons on Best 35mm SLR Camera for Beginners? · · Score: 1
    I'm a Nikon-man, so I'll tell you what I know about Nikons. Depending on what you want, there are different bodys.

    A used, fully manually body can be found for If you want autofocus and advanced sparkling features like winder, built-in flash, star-burst and what-not, check out the F(N)55-65-80-90. Read reviews and determine which you want to afford.

    Or you can wait a while for the Nikon F6 which, according to internet-rumours, will support both film- and digital backs. The world greatest film camera AND the digital alternative!

  5. I can't believe... on Fan-Made Star Trek Episode Available for Download · · Score: 1
    ...this hasn't been done before.

    I mean, we're talking about Trekkies here. Haven't they done everything already? I guess not.

    Of course, there are those (Italian? Spanish? Mexican?) remake of Star Trek, but that was an actual TV production. (A far worse in quality, as I understood.)

  6. It's murder of art... on Anime and the Future of Digital Animation · · Score: 1


    ... to show that film in the W.M. and Real-formats. I had the good fortune to see "Blood" in a real movie theatre and it was absolutely breath-taking.
    I haven't seen the streamed versions, but to watch it on a computer screen in one of the two worst film formats you can think of can't be all that good...

    Since it's more a visual experience then a plot-based movie (nothing wrong with that, though!), it's a bit ironic that they promote a film in way that more or less ruins it.
