  1. Re:I dont care of WallStreet likes linux on How Linux Mastered Wall Street · · Score: 1

    I agree - and money is even safer here in Norway! Even Mr. Buffet feels Norway is a good place to put your money.

  2. Re:And the sad part is... on Driver Using Two Cell Phones Gets Year-Long Driving Ban · · Score: 1

    They have to, since there are loads of idiots who think personal freedom is the same as having the right to endanger others.

  3. Re:Damn, this feels like Slashdot on Linux Kernel 3.1 RC 2 Released · · Score: 1

    I do... 3.10/3.11/etc is a lot easier to remember than 3.A03930

  4. Re:only gadgets on Which Company Is the Largest? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be the same company? It's not a good thing to produce new gadgets "everybody" must have every 9 months or so when it comes to the environment.

  5. Re:Or build a skyhook on Space Elevator Conference Prompts Lofty Questions · · Score: 1

    The weight of that cable sort of kills your idea before it starts....

  6. Re:Alternate Fuels = Wrong Problem on US Pumps $175M Into Advanced Auto Fuel Research · · Score: 1

    Not enough room in the world for 14 billion cars

  7. Re:make full time 32 hours a week on US Pumps $175M Into Advanced Auto Fuel Research · · Score: 1

    We're having problems as it is getting qualified workers, cutting 20% on top of that would give us even bigger problems!

  8. Re:Good to hear on SETI Finds Funds For the Allen Telescope Array (For Now) · · Score: 1

    Doing science is testing out "ideas" (theories are the wrong word when talking about science) - since they've not yet scanned the entire sky, they're still testing out the idea that there might be intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, producing electromagnetic waves the Allen Telescope Array would be able to pick up.

  9. Re:wrong distro on Installing Linux On a 386 Laptop · · Score: 1

    True - wrong distro - just install slackware, and be happy with it! No need to compile everything!

    Still got a functioning 486DX4 with slackware 3.5 installed on it. Works like a charm!

  10. Re:Rainy day on Installing Linux On a 386 Laptop · · Score: 1

    Did you forget to push the turbo button?

  11. Re:Yep on Google Patents Telling Time · · Score: 2

    Google-Jesus is not perfect, but he's certainly better than Microsoft-Jesus and Apple-Jesus!

    That being said, I'm an Atheist.

  12. Re:Nokia is still in business? on Nokia Killing Symbian and S40 In North America · · Score: 1

    A Norwegian commentator compared current Nokia with the cities in Norway which put all their money into sailing ships instead of the new technologies, like steam engines...

  13. Re:There's a line on RIM Helping UK Police Track Down Rioters · · Score: 1

    And there's also a line between shoting a citizen, and police returning fire

  14. Re:"KDE 4.0 mistake" on KDE Frameworks 5.0 In Development · · Score: 1

    But they didn't!

  15. Re:I hope they make it like 3.5! on KDE Frameworks 5.0 In Development · · Score: 1

    4.x won't segfault either.

    Question; which distro are you using?

  16. Re:Good to hear on SETI Finds Funds For the Allen Telescope Array (For Now) · · Score: 2

    Interested in space? This is communicating with space aliens, which is science fiction. It's slightly better than the army spending billions of dollars on remote viewing and other psychic nonsense, but it's still so far removed from science that I shudder to think of all the people wasting their talent on this.

    It is still science though - however useless it is, not science fiction.

  17. Re:Good to hear on SETI Finds Funds For the Allen Telescope Array (For Now) · · Score: 1

    That is not how the democracy in US works. There, you vote for the rich guy with the most agreeable politics.

  18. Re:Underpowered, maybe not, but deathtrap nonethel on Saving Gas Via Underpowered Death Traps · · Score: 1

    Three kids in child seats and shopping like crazy? Audi A4 would sort you out. You don't need a SUV for that.

  19. Re:Your kidding, right? on Saving Gas Via Underpowered Death Traps · · Score: 1

    Don't look at the population of a country when comparing accidents, look at the number of cars!

    If they shouldn't borrow more, then how were they supposed to pay back the money they'd already spent?
