  1. Re:Use Thorium-based reactors instead on CERN Physicist Warns About Uranium Shortage · · Score: 1

    There are other ways to start the thorium cycle which is safer than uranium. We just have to finalize the technology behind it.

  2. Re:KDE is really heading in the right direction bu on What's Coming In KDE 4.4 · · Score: 1

    how about KDE 4.10 ? or 4.100 ?

    Running out? Don't think so. I'm looking forward to running KDE 4.55

  3. Re:Labelling. on What's Coming In KDE 4.4 · · Score: 1

    Why didn't other people?

    Because other people are stupid.

    I changed to 4.X when Slackware changed, and it works. There's nothing I miss from 3.5 anymore (on 4.3.3 at the moment). Amarok has gotten a noticeable makeover too. If you want to change to Gnome, you'd better wait as they're in for a makeover as well soon.

  4. Re:Bribery on Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    It is a payment to gain a business advantage.

    It's highly unethical, and I'd call it a bribe, even in US.

    The pope recently saw an episode of x-files

  6. Re:Is it just me on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Nobody is talking about aliens visiting Earth. It's the possibility that life exist not only on earth. Life could be many things, but microbes on Mars or other worlds would be enough.

  7. Re:Is it just me on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying that either, I'm just saying that the church has discovered that the sciences could be right, and they want to have their backs covered so that they don't have to (again) retract statements made, in the future.

  8. Re:Of course, there is another solution on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Somebody had to create the computer too. So that's just bringing more into the equation. This whole computer simulation thing is the same as everything else - it's just another religion, no matter how you twist it around. It's just made so that it sounds more modern, to distance itself from the "old religions".

    Most of the times, the easiest solution is the only correct one. And easiest means the one with the lesser amount of variables.

  9. Re:Of course, there is another solution on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Except it may not be a good answer. There is more to life than what you can prove scientifically.

    As of now, yes - but who knows what will be possible in 1-5-10-50-100 etc. years.

    However, it is the person who makes the claim that should prove it. So that there's a deity is up to the church to prove, and not for the science to disprove.

    or is this just a "cover our own backs" maneuver to avoid what happened with Galileo, Copernicus and others? Those cases weren't exactly the best publicity they've had.

    Everybody knows that you have to use the same water as the distillery is using to avoid ruining the taste.

  12. Re:BIG WASTE OF MONEY on NASA, European Space Agency Want To Go To Mars · · Score: 1

    One of the reasons to go to Mars and explore, is to be able to understand this Spaceship Earth better. We might also be able to offload a few things from Earth to Mars in the future.

    And - Space is a waste you say? Not compared to the so-called War against Terror.

  13. Re:Creative and engaged users, not cheaters on Microsoft Disconnects Modded Xbox Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Those music studies only prove that 10% of those that download music, spend more than all the people that don't download.

  14. Re:$83 on Project Natal Release Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Whether clothes are impulse items or not depends on the planning. Did you go out to shop for clothes? Then no. Did you go out to get something to eat, and came back with 5 bags of clothes, then yes, absolutely.

  15. Re:Purchase On Impulse? on Project Natal Release Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    An impulse night out on town is at least twice the amount of the OPs definition of impulse buy here in Norway. If I had a 360, £50 would probably be low enough to get me hooked.

  16. Re:Post-It Note on the Monitor on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

  18. Re:It's Not About Health, It's About Control on Landmark Health Insurance Bill Passes House · · Score: 2

    What? Are you telling me that the government here in Norway tells me what to eat, what to smoke, what to drink and how long I can live?

    That's news to me!

    Come to think of it - you have no idea what public health service is, do you?

  19. Re:Really? on What Does Google Suggest Suggest About Humanity? · · Score: 1

    There are those who suggest that many of the early books in the Old Testament aren't exactly God's commandments to his followers, but rather a historical accounting.

    And then there are those people that think the entire book is the word of a god.

  20. Re:Sony demoed this at the same time as Natal on Sony Demos Natal-Like Control System · · Score: 1

    Sony discovered with EYETOY on the PS2 that you need a controller for anything useful. Nintendo took that knowledge, but implemented it on a low budget system, and lost all the geeks - but gained the rest.

    I'm sorry, but you're not describing the Norway I live in. I work with a lot of foreign people from all over the world, and their opinion is quite the opposite of what you're saying.

    The only part you got correct is the fear of EU, which is mostly just people that doesn't know what they're arguing against.

    Compare it to the wages. A McDonald's worker gets at least as much beer as in US for his paycheck.
