    That would be sodium for most people here, by the way.

    I'll give you even more than that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Merkel

    Does your country have a more powerful, wealthy, influential woman?

    Since "my" country (>= 82 million people, the third largest economy in the world, the largest when it comes to exports, ...) is governed by a woman, I'd say so, yes :-)

    Like her or not, she is one of the most influential, and hence powerful, women on the planet.

    The rest of the world could care less, thank god.

  6. Re:Drat you Steve! on Users Rage Over Missing FireWire On New MacBooks · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, Macs have NICs that can automatically detect crossed pairs in ethernet cables, so you don't even need a special crossover cable to connect two computers directly, as long as one of them is a Mac.

    Every Gigibit Ethernet NIC needs to be able to do that, it's not Mac-specific. It's required by the Gigabit Ethernet standard.

  7. Books? Any written materials? on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is crazy, people. Make sure you're not wearing any clothing with text on it, you might have to enter the USA naked.

  8. Re:Google translation of German source on Schoolboy Corrects NASA's Math On Killer Asteroid · · Score: 1

    a) In fact, it is Germany's biggest pile of idiocy, lies and bullshit. Klar, mir fiel nur auf die schnelle keine schoene Uebersetzung fuer "Blut- und Spermablatt" ein :-)

    ad b) no 13 year old German kid calculates impact probabilities for asteroids either.

    If Nico Marquardt is the one single German kid who does those calculations, he might even be able to use the German conjunctive correctly. True. The ladies must love that kid!

  10. Re:Google translation of German source on Schoolboy Corrects NASA's Math On Killer Asteroid · · Score: 5, Informative

    No need to translate it to make it hilarious:
    a) The source "newspaper" is Germany's biggest tabloid - with as much knowledge on astrophysics as a kindergarten kid
    b) No 13 year old German kid says "stuerben"

    Even though Intel is probably the industry's biggest proponent of multi-core computing and threaded programming [...]

  12. Re:Why is this a big deal? on Solaris Telnet 0-day vulnerability · · Score: 1

    I have 11/06, and believe me, I was surprised to find telnet enabled. Well, that's because you allowed it to be during installation.
  13. Re:Telnet? on Solaris Telnet 0-day vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Can anyone confirm if telnet is enabled by default on Solaris for new installs? Solaris 10 11/06 asks you if you want network services enabled. If you choose no, the one and only thing you will have listening on an external interface is ssh.

    How are we supposed to slashdot the site, if the URL (http://www.bytonic.de/html/jake2.html) is not even given?

    Yeah, like all of those fully C99-compliant C-compilers you see everywhere now, at the end of 2004 :-/

    People who don't know what it stands for would not want to read the document anyway, don't you think?

  17. Re:Japanese Perl: syntax example on English Language And Its Effect On Programming? · · Score: 1

    As does German. In fact, usually _all_ the verbs go at the end. Which can be quite painful in a compliacated sentence (at least for this very bad German student).

    Not really ... You can put verbs at the end in longer sentences, you don't have to. It is a commonly used practice by Germans when trying to confuse exchange students, though :-)
