  1. Noisy SSDs on Sony Offers a "Premium Sound" SD Card For a Premium Price · · Score: 1

    I have had some issues with a Dell laptop, that gave off high pitched sounds when using the disk - but only while on battery. i don't know if it was the SSD it self, the controler or the LED that flashes when the disk is used, but while a very low squeek, it was still annoying.

  2. Windows CE on Do Embedded Systems Need a Time To Die? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If the embedded system is running Windows CE, then YES! DIE NOW. otherwise, i can't see why

  3. Start with on Facebook Testing Translate Feature For Comments? · · Score: 1

    If they would stop changing my settings of Most Recent to Top News every time i look away and of course fix the chat windows to something useful, then that would be fine - if i cant understand what my friends are posting, then its probably not for me anyway.
    Knowing how other things got implemented, this is probably what will happen:
    The service will be offered for some users, quickly followed by offering it to all users, whoever accepts are stuck with it and can do nothing to switch it off, and despite what they think all of a sudden EVERYBODY gets that feature.

  4. iPhone users on Given Truth, the Misinformed Believe Lies More · · Score: 1

    I see iPhone users written all over this, flaming not inteded.

  5. it is a fact on Human Laughter Up To 16 Million Years Old · · Score: 1

    yes, it is infact just seconds younger than the classic "pull my finger" joke

  6. What about the one in denmark? on Cape Wind Ready To Bring First Offshore Wind Farm · · Score: 2, Informative

    So the fact that there has been one in denmark for quite some time doesnt count or what?

  7. sorry, sorry, its just me, i don't read too well on Universe May Be Running Out of Time · · Score: 1

    but i read "Large Hardon Collider", I quickly figured out that it probably wasn't reading it right, but I am lamo.

  8. Re:Interesting... on GCC Compiler Finally Supplanted by PCC? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    didn't you read, that this is work done from all the way back in the 70'ties?
    Also why should they not be allowed to make a new compiler, Toyota started to make cars long after Ford made theirs - even though - eeh - Ford already made cars that did all the things that the Toyota cars did.
    What license doesn't ensure , oh, let me turn it around - what license ensures that committed code makes it in? The manager of a project allows or disallows for code to be committed, not the license.

    A compiler is an application, an application that compiles source code.

    A lot of people in the bsd developer teams are tired of gcc becomming more and more complex and becoming slower and slower at compiling. This might indicate why some are trying to find alternatives.

  9. the only place to do - on Google Launches Free Wireless Broadband · · Score: 1

    This is the only right place to do a core dump.

  10. Re:Nofollow that fellow on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    How can personal benefit be a problem? What is the problem of someone benefitting from submitting?
    What would happen if someone benefittet? would they have to appologize to you, and for what, being a better submitter than you - don't know if they are, but they are being posted, and not you... would you want a letter from that person, excusing?
    Why is personal benefit bad?

  11. Re:The russians are partly to blame on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    The dispute did raise the issue that it is not good to depend too much on one source.
    The countries involved cares little (other than they want the issue to be solved) about who is to blame. Bottum line is they need a stable supply. Depending too much on one supplyer is a risk. Many german officials have warn about that for a long time, asking to produce nuclear power plants again. The situation between Ukraine and Russia, has helped this discussion take flight again.

  12. The russians are partly to blame on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When the russians reduced the gas supply to Ukraine last week, many of the big european countries, that get the gas from rusia realised what a voulnerable situation they were in. many countries get a large part of thir gas from russia.
    In the European union there is now a debate going on each country having to produce more of its own energy. also the need to form a Musketeer agreement to stand against potential energy-blackmailing or catastrophes. Nuclear power is for most of the larger European countries a very viable sollution. that will greatly reduce the dependency of other countries.

  14. On chain in denmark only taking home pre-ordered on Microsoft Plans Deliberate Xbox 360 Shortage · · Score: 1

    I know from a gamestore manager here in Denmark, that they are only allowed to take home preordered numbers from their headquater. They are not doing any guesswork at all, they are taking in orders for a while longer, and soon they will stop taking in orders for the first round.

  15. KEEP AWAY FROM IT!!! on After College, What Type of Jobs Should One Seek? · · Score: 1

    KEEP AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!
    Take a job in a kindergarden, or the like. You might have to change diapers or wipe noses on little anoying kids, but its nothing compared to a day with crappy software, and people that cant understand why the printer doesn't work and don't even appologize when you tell them to turn on the printer.

  16. If you go back in history on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    If you go back in history kill your grandfather and prevent yourself from being born, then you would not be able to have gone back and kill you grandfather...

  17. Re:DHCP? on OpenBSD 3.7 Released · · Score: 1

    as far as i remember there was a flaw with the dhcp client in 3.3 or 3.4. it has long been corrected, and was corrected in a patch quickly

  18. its the other way arround on VectorLinux 4.3 - Rocket Fueled Slackware · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Just a little correction...

    A pentium (or any other processor) doesn't run linux, linux runs on the processor.

  21. Funny old remark by Microsoft on Firefox 0.9.1 and Thunderbird 0.7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Back when Mozilla 1.0 was released Microsoft made a remark saying that it was rediculous that it had taken this huge amount of developers so many years to develop Mozilla, when Internet Explorer was developed by only (i don't remember if it was 20 or 100) developers for only such a short period of time. The way things have been going for microsoft and patchreleasing lately, they might want to consider their approach to developing browsers

  22. So cool on Water-Cooled Half-Life 2 Case Mod · · Score: 2, Interesting

    so cool, so cool, so cool
    its like with the Enlightenment window manager, i decided to change to linux years ago because i could get the Alien skin for Enlightenment. This is the same level of cool, though i will propably not go so far in modding

  23. Re:FreeBSD and OpenBSD on OpenBSD 3.5 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    While i haven't run FreeBSD that much i have been running OpenBSD for a while. While not all freebsd programs will run on OpenBSD automatically, most will ether by compiling it on OpenBSD or through the excelent binary emulation. So go try it out (all normal things like apache, perl, sendmail, postfix, samba kde, mozilla, joe, vi, emacs, and a lot more will run on openbsd). go go go

  24. Danish government uses the same tactic on States Link Databases to Find Tax Cheats · · Score: 1

    Only in Denmark it is the Tax departments of different country areas, police department and social departments. The goal is to locate organized crime, and the heads of Hells Angles have alraddy been roling. Caught in the Al Capone way, if you can't link the crime follow the money.
    Turned out that the head of Hells Angles DK was on social support while living in a big beach side house, having the coolest mercedes and of course a Harley Davidson bike. Other people in those circles have been arrested using this method, so it is working and hopefully will have a preventive effect. Talks are going to collaborate with the naboring countries as well
