  1. Go do your homework on Software Tariffs and US IT Outsourcing? · · Score: 0

    Go do your homework from Economics 101, kid. People have tried this since mideval times. Go learn something useful

  2. 6 hours on Do Long Work Hours Affect Code Quality? · · Score: 0

    If you've been coding for six hours, I don't want to see your next line of code. Go read some mail, catch up on the news, have a chat with some of the others. 15 hour days are 9 hours wasted. Your product will suffer. Refer your boss to books like Brooks' The Mythical Man-Month, or even Kent Beck's eXtreme Programming Explained.

  3. Vikings before him on Chinese Explorers 'Discovered America'? · · Score: 0

    And Norwegian Vikings were there before the chinese. In other words:

    Norwegians
    Chinese
    Colombus

    And of course, we were all bested by pre-hestoric man who just strolled across, taking over the entire continent and forming large and different cultures. But hey, it's just about us. Hooray for the Vikings!

  4. Swedish sucker on Binary Watch · · Score: 0

    In Norway, swedish people are concidered rather dumb. For instance, get the spelling of our currency (Kroner, not Kronor) right! ;)

  5. Duh... on Robots, Robots, Robots · · Score: 0

    Robosoccer has been going on for years and years, and there are frequent cups in it. I fail to see the news here. Besides, it's been slashdotted lots of times

  6. What the ***? on IBM Patents Web Page Templates · · Score: 0

    Apart from the really stupid stuff, I wrote such a thing back in spring 1995 in C which does more or less exactly that. A little program that put a template around a piece of text and published it. Used it to have three different "themes" on my webpages. One for people who had Netscape 3, one for people who used IE and one for people who liked it all text. I demonstrated this to some people who had me in for a job interview and then rejected the job offer. So besides from everyone who knows me and the stuff behind the pages, besides binaries dated back from that time, I can possibly also dig up the people who were there getting the demonstration. And oh, by the way, this was all in Norway.

    Cheers

  7. Choose the right license on Can University Students GPL Their Submitted Works? · · Score: 1

    Use a BSD style license. Just submitted code and a rather lengthy report, all nicely with a BSD style license so that the uni can use it for what purposes they see fit and I remain happy. :)

  8. :) on Slashdot Moving To FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    Two words: Good stuff! :)

  9. Request for readthrough :) on History and Culture of Computing? · · Score: 1

    Please, by all means post again when your lecture material is ready. I would be veeery interested in reading through it. :)

  10. No more search engines! on Paying For Content In The Future · · Score: 2

    Very smart concept. When search engines check sites they end up paying an awful lot just to make limited indexes! No good. If you make exceptions for search engines you suddenly realize how easy it is to say you're someone else and all the sudden everyone is pretending to be a search-engine. If you grant special permissions to search engines from specific domains you're excluding virtually every startup there is. In total: great idea, has lots of issues.

  11. Get some boxes on Neural Networks In The Home? · · Score: 1

    Dear Sir, I read your little question here at ./ and I must wonder wether you actually know what a neural network is. For your elevator example I would suggest you use regular statistics which will give you an at least equally good result with less fuzz. In the meanwhile I suggest you do the following: (1) Go over the sum-function and (2) get a couple of regular paper boxes. Ask everyone taking an elevator near you to put a penny in the box that represents the time-group in which the person used the elevator. Put these boxes at all levels. This will make perfect sence to you when you have researched to find out exactly what a neural network is, give you data for your statistics on which your elevator will operate and perhaps even make you a buck.

  12. Organisations: BSDi on Partnership Initiatives In Companies That Support OSS? · · Score: 1

    BSDi, need I say more?

  13. Geeks today and geeks in 2059 on Slashdot Readers Write The History Of The Future · · Score: 1

    Geeks (and average Slashdot readers for that matter) in year 2001: 85% single Geeks (and average Slashdot readers for that matter) in year 2059: 85% single

  14. How is the computer doing?? on The Most Powerful Mouse in the World · · Score: 1

    Is there any mention about how the computer(s) it was attached to is doing?

  15. Re:How is this different from i.e. AMD or Alpha's? on Intel's Itanium Processor Explained · · Score: 1

    I guess we can close this discussion as other comments have covered this topic more in depth.

  16. Re:Isn't this a bit useless? on Visual Python 0.1 Loosed · · Score: 1

    Python does way more than web-scripting. I'm a PHP user myself when it comes to web, but when it comes to most other things (especially building userinterfaces) I use Python (and Glade, of course :) )

  17. Challenge on What are Your Programming Goals? · · Score: 1

    I code because I enjoy a challenge. I want to learn more and more. During my courses and my hobby I've learnt about everything from politics about software through UI to some kernel programming. As soon as I master something I let it go and try something else. My ultimate goal is nothing. I do it because I enjoy going towards my goals

  18. Re:This isn't just a Linux win. on Creative Labs to open SB Live Drivers · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. Just yesterday I talked with the Creative staff regarding the possibility to free their code so that we could have this ported to (in my case) FreeBSD and other systems as well. I think this is to be concidered as a yes. :)
