  1. Re:Plane coming in for a landing .... on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 1

    ...and there are at least two more on the same path. I guess it is not the same plane being photographed several times, or is it?

  2. Can you guess? on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 1
  3. Key West on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ..does seem to have very lousy resolution.
    And before someone says it -- yes, you are gay.

  4. Re:Also on New Standard Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Is this really true? If so, it is a strong argument against the qwerty-keyboard.

  5. Re:The Ten Worst Products of the Year on The Ten Worst Products of the Year · · Score: 1

    Yes, that was REALLY FUNNY.

  6. MOD PARENT. Worst product ever! on The Ten Worst Products of the Year · · Score: 1

    ..or best product, if you are a mmorpg-aholic.

  7. Re:Sniff, our little browser's all grown up... on New Vulnerability Affects All Browsers · · Score: 1

    It worked for me. Firefox 1.0PR.

  8. Re:The latest score just in... on Ion-Propulsion Craft Reaches The Moon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why would it? Beagle = Mars, SMART = Moon.

  9. Re:better article on Ion-Propulsion Craft Reaches The Moon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ee...that was pretty wacky =)) I like the guitar playing mofo though hehe

  10. Re:ideal? on Ion-Propulsion Craft Reaches The Moon · · Score: 1

    1. It is not made for human flights.

    2. It is not NASA.

  11. Re:As they say in Germany on Samsung to use Sub-Pixel VGA Screens · · Score: 1

    "min trusse lugter af tis"

    Dear Bender Unit 22, that is not Swedish, I can assure you! :)

  12. Nothing is impossible on Samsung to use Sub-Pixel VGA Screens · · Score: 2

    The new driver IC has overcome the physically impossible VGA-class and higher resolution images on small size TFT-LCD panels of less than 2.4 inches

    Why is it physically impossible to design VGA displays less than 2.4 inches? Too small pixels?

  13. Re:fp on 360-Degree 3D Imaging · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is that you in the picture?

  14. I am sceptic on 360-Degree 3D Imaging · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I still remember those "super-cool" (according to the salesman) 3D-glasses with two tiny lcd-displays. After standing in line for like an hour I was allowed to try them on, and playing the coolest game there was at the time - hexen. And I still remember how worthless they were and how ripped-off I felt waiting that hour. This new thing is probably nothing like that piece of shit, but salesmen are still salesmen so I am sceptic.

  15. Re:Proposal for "male tax" in Sweden?? on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 0

    Luckily that proposal was immensively criticized and will never be a reality. It originated from an old (female) politician known for her alcoholism and generally embarrasing ideas and behavior. Once, she even became drunk and peed on the floor during a public cinema showing.

  16. Great. on X.org X11 Server Release 6.8 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    So now is the time to ditch my DirectFB. Or not.

    is a gmail block device driver. That would be neat. Thank you for listening to an old uncle.

  18. Re:Nice on GmailFS - The Google File System · · Score: 1

    Uhm .. that is in fact a great idea, isnt it? Like a single mail per block or something. Cool cool cool ... *starts hacking* :-)

  19. Re:The Matrix started this way . . . on Dual Caches for Dual-core Chips · · Score: 1

    ...very true, except 4 slots = 8 CPUs ;)

  20. Wires taken down? Dont think so. on VoIP And Cell Phones Eroding Traditional Telecoms · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Rewiring all buildings to optical fibers or ethernet is just too damn costly, especially since ADSL (or its future cousins) is cheap and works.

  21. 2 liters in NYC? on Movie Playback From 1TB Holographic Disc · · Score: 1

    Since when did bottles in america contain 2 liters? I just thought everything was in oz. and the like. / A wondering Swede.

  22. Re:Advantage of DVD+RW on Another Format War: DVD -R9 v. +R9 · · Score: 1

    And FAT does not? (overwrite the same spot many times)

  23. Re:In other news.... on Gametrak Controller Wins Award · · Score: 1, Offtopic
