    Yes it is... rumor has it that it's already in UK waiting to be put on display.

    Question is - when does it ship to Norway! And I want the T101 instead...

  2. Re:Space politics on NASA Plans To De-Orbit ISS In 2016 · · Score: 1

    The most important one is the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on STS134.

    And who knows what will happen in the future with regards to new launch vehicles? ISS might even get an extention if enough cheap launches are available.

    So, why is there a delay on Space-X launches?

    If people had listened to what the KDE community said they'd still be on 3.5.10.

    Slackware is probably one of the last ones to switch, as it's 12.2 is still KDE 3.5, but current is on 4.2.

    Don't blame KDE for the mistakes of stupid distro-admins with no respect for their user community.

  7. Re:Dammit, BMI != fat in all cases on Swine Flu Kills Obese People Disproportionately · · Score: 1

    Ok - I'm not going to argue that 40 in BMI is anything but obese, so in the extremities of the scale, BMI can be a valid measurement.

    However, when you start to look at BMI around 30, you'll have to ignore the BMI results.

    I've got a BMI of 29.something, but a bodyfat of 17%. A doctor told me to lose 25kg, which would give a good BMI, but an unhealty bodyfat percentage.

    For extremities, BMI can be used as indications of over/underweight, 15-30, not at all.

    Not that its exempt, its that should people target Linux as much, the figure would likely be the same.

    On the other hand, Norway is top of the "Human Development Index", but would you want to deal with the long winters and seasonal affective disorder?

    Yeah, it's awful... it's only 27 degrees outside and world championship in beach volleyball this week in the city where I live, here in Norway ;)

    Seriously though... Norway is to big to generalize like that. Yes. the northern parts have long winters with no sun etc, but the winter here in the southwest of the country isn't any worse than London Berlin, etc. Average temperature is way above 0 degrees during winter where I live.

  20. The summary is wrong. on Norwegian Lawyers Must Stop Chasing File Sharers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The "pirate chasing"-lawyers got a temporary license in 2006 for doing exactly that while we were waiting for new laws.

    That license is now expiring (This autumn) and they're not getting a new one. Not because they want to protect the privacy of Norwegian citizens, but because temporary is temporary.

    Now, read my last sentence again please.

    (Still though, Norway's a good place to live - can recommend it to everyone!)

    Please stop saying that they don't see the difference between SD and HD. They do - those who don't won't even had noticed the difference between kate moss and susan boyle!

    They might ignore it, yes, but if someone demonstrate it for them, the'll see it.

    My dad was one of those that say "I don't see the big fuss about HD - there's no difference anyway". Then the old TV broke, and we got him a new 46" Sharp Aquarius, and show him a BR on my brothers PS3. Next day he called the cable company and ordered the HD decoder, and went and bought himself a PS3 of his own.
