    Not really. On Facebook and Twitter we tell you only the parts of ourselves that we want to be known. That's very different from having someone snooping around in the parts we want to keep private.

  4. Maybe not so bad on Slovenian Ambassador Regrets Signing ACTA Agreement · · Score: 2

    This may actually turn out to be a good thing. If the politicians who are about to sign ACTA in june read it, maybe, just maybe, her letter will make them think twice and at least TRY to understand what the heck it's all about instead of just voting yes out of ignorance.

  5. Not visiting the US. on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 1

    I've always wanted to visit the US, to visit the huge cities or/and renting a car and going on a road trip. Not anymore though, it just doesn't feel worth it. I'll keep spending my vacations travelling around Europe and Asia. Maybe some day I'll travel Canada or the caribbean though. Heck, in 10-15 years it will probably be safer for foreigners to travel rural Africa than the US.

    That's a lot of fucking. I hope you brought enough condoms.

    I'll use the same one over and over, without washing it inbetween.

    More seriously, don't confuse the countries for the few dickheads in those countries who are fucking things up. I've been to a good handful-and-some of the 30 countries you've listed, and most of the people I've met have been decent sorts.

    Yeah, that's kind of implied. I've been to 13 of the listed countries and I can only agree.

    I don't know about your preferences, *I* certainly don't want to fuck 30 different versions of that.

    Can't say that I'll enjoy it to but someone has to do the dirty work. :)

  9. Re:First Bing, now this? on Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State · · Score: 1

    I'm tolerant of pretty much everything, except intolerance. I think everyone should be free to do whatever the hell they feel like doing and living in whichever way they feel like living as long as everyone involved is consensual and they don't restrict others from that same freedom. People should be free to fuck themselves up if they want, but not to fuck others up. That's why I'm NOT tolerant of people trying to, for example, restrict rights for homosexuals, transsexuals or even polygamists.

    I do think that religion (all of them, except Kopimism) is stupid but I don't want to restrict people from believing in or practicing religion. I do however want to make it illegal for religious institutions to prevent (using any kind of scare-tactics) their members from leaving said institution.

    Sweden is a beautiful country from late june to early august. The rest of the year, not so much unless you plan on going skiing.
    Nature-wise it pales compared to Norway though, and I say that as a swede.

    You're right. I did like it better when we were represented by fart jokes though. That's more in line with the swedes I know.

  12. Re:Actually... on PC-BSD 9.0 Release · · Score: 4, Informative

    In MacOS X, [a subset of] BSD is just one of several subsystems running on top of the Mach microkernel, providing some core stuff like filesystems and the TCP/IP stack. They also use parts of the BSD userland. They don't use BSD for things like hardware drivers and device handling for example. The Mac-BSD-relation status is "it's complicated". It's way too different to be able to say that it's "based on" BSD, or even part of the family tree line. It's more like the friendly neighbor who let you borrow their stuff.

  13. Current one sucks on Sweden Experiments With Public Twitter Takeover · · Score: 1

    I really liked this at first, in december. Then the @sweden feed was all about drinking, sex and mocking religion and norwegians. After that it went downhill, to boring (here is a picture of my dogs) to outright embarrassing. Currently it's controlled by a fucking priest citing the bible and chatting about spirituality. How un-swedish isn't that?

  15. Re:A humble request for Linux media player develop on Nightingale Media Player Preview Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    gapless != cross-fade. An MP3 stream is divided into frames that are larger than CD frames. If a song ends in the middle of a frame, that frame is padded with silence which cause an audio dropout when playing albums with continuous sound, like live recordings for example. Most modern MP3 encoders (at least LAME) use a non-standard (but nowadays defacto-standard) tag to store the exact byte on which the song ends so players can skip the silent padding and play the album just like the original CD would had. Worth noting is that this problem is MP3-specific. All modern codecs/containers already handle this natively.

  16. Re:Advantage over PDF? on Taking a Look At Kindle Format 8 · · Score: 1

    it sounds like it's trying to do everything HTML can, but not be HTML

    Basically it IS just (a subset of) plain HTML+CSS with a standardized naming structure for table of contents, chapters, cover and similar, all bundled together into a zip file. It defines a default style for unstyled tags and which subset of HTML and CSS the renderer must handle to be compliant.

    Instead of Lift, checkout Play (make sure you watch the screencast)! Scala support is currently a plugin but will be the first choice language in Play 2.0 (currently in beta), and it has commercial support available.

    This. It's not specific to Ruby frameworks though. You're pretty much in the same situation if you want to use anything other than PHP+MySQL. Generic hosts nowadays are pretty much meant for non-programmers to run their own PhpBB, Wordpress, Drupal and various legacy websites, not recently developed web applications unless the developers are still stuck in 2004 and choose PHP+MySQL as their language and database even when they have the chance to start from scratch.

    Personally I just get a XEN/KVM server somewhere and install what I need myself, be it Ruby+Rails, Node.js+Railway or Scala+Play and Redis, RIAK, MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL.
