  1. Re:My biggest problem with the Po-Po on Police Objecting to Tickets From Red-Light Cameras · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I just slow down for tailgaters. Me too. If the driver of the car behind me isn't willing to keep a safe distance in relation to the speed we're going, I'll have to make sure we keep a safe speed in relation to the distance between us. Apart from pulling over and letting them pass (which I do in some circumstances), it's all I really can do legally.

    *Windowing subsystems that [cant] support the more advanced hardware features of graphics chips locally particulaly well.

    Our SGI Onyx 3200 with one InfiniteReality 3 graphics pipe disagrees. As does our SGI Onyx 4 UltimateVision with four ATI Radeon-based SG2 graphics cards - running XFree86 on Irix, no less.
  3. A square foot is _how_ big, exactly? on Green Housing Takes Root in Oregon · · Score: 1

    You have big feet.

    If one foot is 30.48 cm, that makes one square foot 929.03 cm^2, which again makes one m^2 approx. 10.76 ft^2, which again makes 800 ft^2 approx 74.3 m^2. Which is quite a bit less than 244 m^2.

  4. Microsoft invents the not quite oval-shaped object on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 1

    REDMOND, WA: Microsoft (MSFT) stock jumped 45% today after a press release stating that a new invention "which will revolutionize transportation" had been created in their highly secret labs. The inventions, which can be mounted underneath large crates, allows the crates to move with very little friction to the ground. The invention, which quickly was nicknamed "wheels", is a result of considerable team effort, and comes only a week after Microsoft invented the not quite oval-shaped line, nicknamed "circle".

    In the same press-release there is a mention of another invention called "sliced bread", but the details about this are not known at this stage.

    (Uh... before I forget: Yes, it's quite possible that there actually _is_ something new about "Single Instance Store", but I couldn't help myself...)

  5. Re:I think it's fake! on Jon Johansen Indicted by the MPA(A) · · Score: 2

    Actually, this is probably correct.

    >Postal Area................: Steinsholt
    >Country....................: Norway
    >Phone Number...............: +47 33 12 91 22

    Norwegian phone-books claim that this number belongs to "Per Johan Johansen" from "3283 Steinsholt", which could very well be his father. I could not find anything about this company in the yellow pages, though. (Gule Sider).

    What he refers to as NAIPEEC is Økokrim, where the "Øko"-bit may mean either economic or environmental, and "krim" means crime. They have a web-page, although they don't have information in english, as far as I can see. (Økokrim) NAIPEEC may not be the _correct_ english name for it, but it is a good translation of Økokrims own presentation of themselves.

    I couldn't find more information about Micro Media ADB, as the search-pages of Brønnøysundregisteret, the register of companies/enterprises in norway, are non-functional at this time.

  6. The last Y2K-problem... on Y2K Bugs: The Year In Review? · · Score: 1

    ...probably occured in Norway, on December 31, 2000. According to media here in Norway, the NSB's (Norwegian state railway) newest trains (which have had a long row of problems) all stopped on the morning of new years eve. The company who have sold the trains to NSB, AdTranz, say that the problem _might_ be that Y2K has 366 days, which the trains onboard computer hasn't been prepared for. The solution was to turn the trains clocks back one month.
