  1. First of a kind? on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will this make the US the first dual-world superpower in history?

  2. Re:Good luck on IPsec on Mac OS X Panther? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I found the, seemingly, same Cisco VPN Client for OS X that my university provides (v. 4.0.1) freely available on several web pages, of which this is one that seemed to work fine:
    http://portnetworks.com/download.html

    I use the 4.0.1 quite happily on a daily basis, with my university (NTNU in Trondheim, Norway) running IPSec, UDP style.

  3. More technical information available on Ultrasecure Quantum Communications Over Thin Air · · Score: 1

    A few interesting links for those seeking more technical information:

    The original press release from QinetiQ is available at this news release.

    Here is the corresponding German press release from the University in Munich.

    More interesting, perhaps, is the page of one of the German professors involved in the experiment, devoted to this same subject, found here (in English!).

  4. Geographical location a concern for Trolltech? on TrollTech's Harri Porten On KDE Present And Future · · Score: 1

    At least for the few of us located up here in Norway (info on Norway), and possibly as an indication for the rest of you, it would have been quite interesting to hear Harri's comments on Trolltech being based in the cold corner up by the North Pole.

    Due to the overall slowing down of the computer related business worldwide, there has lately been quite a few people in the Norwegian computing sector asking themselves, and each other, whether being based in Norway is the most profitable choice. Although from the first half of 2001, this article (sorry, norwegian only) states that some 40% of Norwegian tech companies are based abroad.

    Personally, I do not believe Norway to be the worst of choices, for any number of reasons, not the least of which is probably that I am Norwegian...

    But it would have been nice to know have someone in Trolltech felt about this!

  5. Re:Sounds somewhat familiar on DoD developing Linux-based "Soldier's Radio" · · Score: 1

    I just found a new and improved link to a lot of info on this radio/mobile terminal/whatnot... It seems the Kongsberg group have given this project completely to a subsidiary (Kongsberg Defence Communication).

    But they have a lot of info on the radio, and even some more (not very, but quite) technical information on the different types of this MRR radio. th#E#he

  6. Sounds somewhat familiar on DoD developing Linux-based "Soldier's Radio" · · Score: 1

    I believe this project is somewhat akin to the new norwegian military "multi role radio" (multi because it's capable of acting as: plain radio, packet radio and as networked data device (aka cell phone or mobile data point)).

    Although the norwegian model, which has been in the coming since mid-1980s, is not based on *nix-OS or anything close to open source software, it HAS already been deployed, at least on a small scale, for testing all the capabilites and configurations. There have for the last year (since I left the army) been a few problems, but it seems to do what it is supposed to...

    The Kongsberg Group that makes these radios had a pretty decent coverage of it on their website, but have recently redesigned them, and the only information I am able to find is this one.
