  1. Re:HTML Get? I think not on Command Line for the Web · · Score: 1

    My bad for the typo, was in a hurry to get a quick reply in :)

    And as for the other comment; it's not like I went and corrected some gramatical error which at least I think is more pedantic...

  2. HTML Get? I think not on Command Line for the Web · · Score: 1

    They probably meant HTTP GET, rather than HTML GET.
    (Hyper Text Transport Protocol)
    (Hyper Text Markup Language)
    See the difference?

  3. Distastefully pleased on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Well, this has to be the most... hartbreaking, yet "allright" move apple made since they cancled the newton on me.

  4. Have to consider... on Is Apple The New Microsoft? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    That apple is mainly suing websites that have had "leaked" information on them, e.g. information about new models coming out etc that could be considered trade secrets before the models are actually put on the market...

  5. The country of the... free? on Anti-Muni Broadband Bills Country Wide · · Score: 1

    Well, I certainly see the point in banning community-run broadband. Makes tons of sense, I mean, especially as usage agreements wouldn't stop that where the ISP don't want the user to share his access outside of the property.

    But on the other hand, it doesn't affect me, as I'm not in the bloody usa =)

  6. Fallout 2 on Humor in Games? · · Score: 1

    I always loved the splattered whale reference, amoung others, in fallout 2 :)

  7. Reminds me on Probe Crash Due to Misdesigned Deceleration Sensor · · Score: 1

    Of some other spacecraft a long while ago (unmanned) that took off and turned straight around, to crash itself into some ocean. All due to a trivial programming misstake...

  8. No big news on 3G Internet Access Via PCMCIA Card · · Score: 1

    I got 5 3G operators in my area offering this kind of service... All with their own "branded" data cards. I wouldn't call this breaking news though, as it's been around for well over a year now.

  9. I hope on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 1

    "unless cell technology increases substantially, when we run out of oil we will convert coal to synthetic fuel." that at least the synthetic fuel will be more environmentally friendly than coal and oil then =)

  10. Repost on Obsessively Detailed Map Of Springfield · · Score: 1, Redundant

    This has already been slashdotted before:

  11. Envoy on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 1

    Here's some envy for some people: I got 26 mbit right now, but soon I'll join the pack of 100 mbit users... Very soon, and, there's no max transfer limits. :D I love this place

  12. URL Correction on HagakiPC - "Postcard" PC · · Score: 4, Informative

    Damn small linux (D.S.L) points to http://www.damnsmalllinux/ which makes some browsers, think it should slap a .com (or whatever) onto that and end up on a advertisement page. Now http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ is the correct link. Just FYI.

  13. To be noted on Ericsson Pulls Bluetooth Division · · Score: 1

    Sony Ericsson only pulled it's division that develops bluetooth software & hardware for licensing. They still support the actual standard, and have a department that works with implention of it in it's own products.

  14. Catch up in a instant... on Television On Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    ... I dunno if you've got the 3G operator "three" in your area. But at least where I live, they provide free sports scores (and video for charge, not live though). I really prefer to browse my news etc in a text-based enviroment... Plus I don't have to use earphones to do that.

    Just my 5 pence.

  15. Not that it is on Free Can Mean Big Money - The Open Source Economy · · Score: 1

    anything wrong with beeing a communist! =)

  16. Too bad on 100 Terabyte 3.5-inch Optical Storage · · Score: 1

    I just bought a DVD-Burner.
    Although it would seem to me that if this is a reliable media the prices would be cut a lot of it becomes popular. At least considering how the prices of high-speed DVD burners (and media!) has dropped over the last year as it has gotten more popular. ... It was the same thing for CD-rw drives back in the day.
    Although the question is if this will become popular on the market, especially with more worked-in standards as dvd already out there (think blue-ray).

  17. Chernobyl on Atomic Veterans Speak Out · · Score: 1

    Just got a bit struck by this quote, "Chernobyl pages discussed here a few months ago were eerie; this site is simply heartbreaking".
    Even though the page's story wasn't true about someone actually motorbiking in the area it is not less heartbreaking in any way.

  18. Swedish banks on One-Time Pads To Protect Electronic Bank Access · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually,

    If you use the swedish bank "Sparbanken" (one of the largest) you got your own RSA half-creditcard sized code generator. You enter your social security id (birthdate with 4 unique digits attached) to the bank to give the basic identification and the bank gives back a 9 digit code you enter into your RSA code generator (after entering a 4 digit access PIN code) and then get another 9 digit code that you enter into the browser to the bank.

    It might sound like a lot of work, but it really goes in less than 30 seconds in most cases. Plus, you do the same procedure (get code enter code in rsa device, enter in browser to bank) everytime you want to pay a bill. Although you can stack up 20-30 payments or more and sign them just once, so it's not a procedure that really bothers anyone.

    And of course all the communication is over https/ssl and all.

    Just to give some more details on how it works :)

  19. Well on The Logic Behind Metric Paper Sizes · · Score: 1

    This isn't that new for us in the "rest" of the world that always used the metric system. It really makes things easier to handle that you just got to divice/multiply by 2 to get the next size...

  20. Re:They work out on Snap Appliance Snap Server 1100 NAS Device · · Score: 1

    English isn't my native language, and no I havn't attended anything MSCE related thank you. Spend some less time correcting other people and some more time writing your own posts? :)

  21. They work out on Snap Appliance Snap Server 1100 NAS Device · · Score: 4, Informative

    I work with several NAS appliances daily and the easiest to administrate is clearly the SNAP servers. Although we use Dell branded ones that work just as well with unix/novell/linux/mac/windows so the product discussed isn't very "unique" so to say. And it's been in the market for quite some time...

    But I guess it's good for those that havn't discovered the advantages with snap's yet.

  22. Phun on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, everyone that doesn't speak Swedish should know that "Piratbyrån" is a phun of "Antipiratbyrån" and I guess everyone knows the word anti.
    (piratbyrån = piracy agency)

  23. Misreads on Space Technology to Conquer Everest · · Score: 1

    And here I was, hoping space tech would come to EVERQUEST. I read it several times until I saw it was everest...
    Serious gaming addiction problem?

  24. If it's wrong on Why We Need a Second Moore's Law · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well if it's some day proven wrong, why just make another law that someday also might be inaccurate...

  25. PNG support on Longhorn Skinning A Reality · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I hope this means they will support full PNG transparancy in new versions of IE in preparation for this new feature - that would make it worthwhile for other purposes too.
