    I wish i had mod points left :-)

  2. Re:What good is this? on Finland To Fly "Open Skies" Surveillance Flight Over Russia · · Score: 2

    and how little "nearly collided" means.

    At least in the case of SAS flight SAS SK681 from Copenhagen, it missed a Russian IL-20 by 90 meters. http://theaviationist.com/2014...

  3. Re:Whaaat? Forced Slashdot Beta?! on Mobile G-SYNC Confirmed and Tested With Leaked Driver · · Score: 1

    took a while until i found the link to ?nobeta=1 I'm relieved!

    Since when? What did I miss?

  5. Re: Regulation? on Davos 2015: Less Innovation, More Regulation, More Unrest. Run Away! · · Score: 1

    Which is the right one?

    Both are, but one only measures income inequality before taxes, and the former after taxes.

  6. Re:Wait what? on US Gov't Seeks To Keep Megaupload Assets Because Kim Dotcom Is a Fugitive · · Score: 1

    He's a criminal...

    Doesn't that require a conviction?

    He was convicted prior to megaupload:
    - in 1994, among other things, for computer fraud and data espionage
    - in 2003 for embezzlement
    - and in ~2004 for failing to disclose his shareholding to the SFC

    next on my wish list would be a citation from a more reputable source ;-)

  8. Re:Nothing on the underlying technology? on Mozilla Teams Up With Humble Bundle To Offer Eight Plugin-Free Games · · Score: 1

    I use it extensively to port games to the web. It works quite well! It has some limitations, which are given by the browser, but one can work around them quite easy.
    Unfortunately, I cannot show off my own work, but others have been using it for some time as well

  9. Re:When will it work in Seamonkey and Firefox on Native Netflix Support Is Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    I find the idea very interesting if you plan your HTPC to be a virtual machine host in first place. Using vt-d to pass-trough devices like VGA and dvb tuners to your vms. Which would also allow you to occasionally fire up a windows machine for a gaming session and take full advantage of the gpu or just to tinker with new applications without having to taint your whole media center. It may not be the most practical solution, but I also like to do stuff just because I can :-)

  10. Re:When will it work in Seamonkey and Firefox on Native Netflix Support Is Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    How is running a server conflicting against the idea of a HTPC? Just launch qemu/kvm/vbox somewhere in your init and you won't notice that you are running "a server".

    As a non-native english speaker, it took me a minute to spot the implied "sarcasm"-tag. But i was very relieved when i found it! :-)

    I was quite sure from personal experience that disc type media would sooner or later die, but didn't know that blu-ray was performing so bad!

  13. Re:Criminal scum on Torrentz.eu Domain Name Suspended · · Score: 2

    On the other hand, they do remove content based on complaints

    Which of torrentz.eu cannot do even if they wanted to, as they don't host any content.

  14. Re:ANOTHER DEAD BODY! SWEET JUSTICE! on Robbery Suspect Tracked By GPS and Killed · · Score: 1

    and most of the rest are criminal-on-criminal.

    and how does criminal-on-criminal change anything? It doesn't make the numbers any better. Homicide is still homicide, no matter if it's done against a "criminal" or not.
