  1. HARSH? He earned 24MILLION $ by spamming! on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thats correct, he made millions with it so probably send billions of spams.
    Now other reason is that he will probably sit in a prison HALF the sentence,
    and non violent can get out with good behavior at that time.

    It would require all the operators take a 5 day COMPURTERLESS vacation!
    You know this is slashdot and chance of that happening is ZERO.

  3. Whats the story? on Kim Peek, aka Rain Man Focus of NASA Study · · Score: 0, Troll

    A slashdotter gets a brain scan. And the scientist are looking how to understand the results...
    Nothing new here just go on...

  4. Re:Science schmience... on Do Honeybees Defy Dinosaur Extinction Theories? · · Score: 1
    The honeybees only survived because the aliens took them off the planet during the extinction, then brought them back about the time they built the pyramids.
    You got it totally WRONG. aliens never build pyramids, it was predators who taught humans to build pyramids!

    Besides there is NO reason for aliens to do that, and for predators we can only guess!

  5. Re:Simple trick for beginners on 2004 IOCCC Winners Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    It isn't usefull unless you make sure that automatic search and replace will break the code. You should USE that in somewhere else like "Al" or "Bl" or A1h or B1h it will make it more funny indeed. Then reuse that as a FILE name. And make sure to use clever arithmetics to generate OTHER file name from that file name so that you won't out run a save file names ;)

  6. Re:Declare War? on Big Arctic Perils Seen in Warming · · Score: 1

    Actually. I doubt the countries will do anything. Their only chance would be tariffs on all imports from non kyoto signers. But there is other choise. You know enviromental activists. Those who take illegal actions to make their point known. SOME actually believe mankind is a disease. And some believe that there is too much population and it needs to be reduced. You can guess where they would be willing to start the reduction of population in order to save the planet ;)
    A hint. They consume lots resources and pollute air a lot.
    Those greens are not a small threat. They are white westerners, and some have high level degrees in bio sciences. Now how would you love to find engineered plaque that kills in couple nice american towns.
    First. I agree them in principle. But I take no action nor I know them personally. 2ndly. Combination of skills and ideas hasn't met yet, since it hasn't happened yet. But as Greens being one of biggest parties in europe its sooner or later. Just piss em off more please...

  7. Perfect for me.... on Nokia Announces 7710 PDA/GPS/Internet Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    I want a pda, mostly for calendar, and having electric todo list with me. And MP3 player.
    I do already have a mobile phone, and I certainly don't wan't to carry lots of different devices with me. This is single device that fits in a pocket. So its perfect for me. It does all the things I wan't plus some extra(camera), and it can replace my phone so that I don't have to carry multiple devices with me. Also it has lots of memory and big screen and downloadable developement suit so that I could actually code/port what ever I feel that its lacking, that I really need.

    If one opens if Finland and is a success then watch out, there will be thousands within a year!
    I doubt that. Market is too small for that. 5 Million people who drink quality coffee at their homes. One or few opens stays open for a while and then either closes or just happens to be small niche here.

  11. Yes it is possible. on How Cheap Can A PC Be? · · Score: 1

    Not in a sence that microsoft want's it to be.
    You *COULD* fit a soundchip+2Dgfx+keyboard/mouse controller+networkcontroller+arm processor+memory controller on a relatively tiny chip, perhaps costs under 4$ to make+(fixed costs, which is VERY high, desing+masksets etc...). Then add some ram, and a flash, and you get a computer system capable of handling most peoples computing needs. Replace flash with harddrive, and you still get under 100$ if you don't make it mobile. Its quiet and it runs 2D applications just fine and has input and sound support. Probably more realisticly, after thinking of other costs that 10$ chip gives better bang for buck, for manufacturers point of view, better performing->easier to sell...
    Its wonderfull how moore law works. @0.09u technology you could fit as much stuff as you could in 95 for ~30 chips, of equal size. (And typicly many of those chip where made in older generation process in 95 so thats simple. What is problematic is that windows and windows applications require computer being more powerfull than what a single chip solution could do. Single chip computing+2 dram chips+ flash chip, and physical connectors in a pcb, and case. Thats what is really needed for emerging computing needs.

  12. A hint, model in same price range has more! on The Official Launch of the Treo 650 · · Score: 1

    Uhh. All I need to ask Which model!
    When something has 8MB of SDRAM & 32MB of flash its not a signle digit number overall ;)
    [Communicator]
    20-25MB for 7700 Which is other which I'd consider similar...
    30MB for 7600

    Single digit number is for elcheapo consumer products, which are in different price category.
    The Treo costs here /Finland. MORE than any of preciosly mentioned products. For which SOME of them has 64MB memory card INCLUDED in package ;)

  13. Something most of you will not never understand ;) on Greatest Equations Ever · · Score: 1

    1+1=9
    The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

    I'm expecting that slashdotters don't get how those two things are connected.
    For some have might have seen this in version 1+1=3 but I think the text explains why thats my favourite equation in that form ;)

  14. Funny? on Green Plants for Mars Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    I didn't really know. 2ndly. When I afterwards, went to their website they only had locations in 33 countries. [Out of over hundred of countries, so NO in most countries people haven't seen a starbucks.]
    And I simply made a guess based on what I've heard in slashdot, so what kind of shops they actually are. [They atleast give coffee based on their website, but do they really sell food too?]
    There is perhaps a reason why there is no starbucks in Finland. We have VERY strong coffee brands, in Finland, and every hosehold has coffee machine, where people make their own coffee.

  15. Re:Efficient? on Green Plants for Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    They need a system where the weight of stuff won't be too big, and still be able to handle unexpected delays in returning. For instance a extra year or so...

    So whats a salary of 5 developers. Or additional marketers, Now, consider them wasting time, on trying to fit the spec without new equipment or marketers trying to sell something that people read it probably won't hurt your electronics. Nope those 10-20K$ while is large sum of money, its far less than a salary of single person. We are talking about business decisions here.
    Startups without money to pay peoples salaries are those who get hurt. But even a small elecronics manufacturer, could afford it if they have ANY business that generate money...
