  1. Its nice to see it again on German Government Introduces Digital Signatures · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That some people (such as the BiKom group mentioned towards the end), grasp any technological advancement as an opportunity to deprive "citizens" (see also: plebs) of their privacy (National ID cards, "citizen card", GPS in rented cars).

  2. Ogg Vorbis on Non-MP3 Codecs? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I use Ogg becuase:

    1. it seems to give better sound quality for the same quantity of bytes.
    2. encoding to Ogg is legal, unlike encoding to MP3 when using ISO-code based encoder (pretty much any encoder i know. enlighten me if im wrong).
    3. "Ogg" sounds cooler than "MP3"

  3. Re:I gave up on QNX... on QNX RtP 6.2 World Preview · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Maybe their newsgroups are intended to answer QNX, rather than FreeBSD questions ?

    Please consider this hypothesis. you can easily excersise it by posting a valid *QNX related* question to their newsgroup.

    BTW, as the whole FreeBSD kernel runs in a single address space, and supervisor privilege, a faulty device driver may crash your (otherwise stable) kernel.

  4. A microkernel that doesnt suck on QNX RtP 6.2 World Preview · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I generally know that the Neutrino microkernel is faster than Mach, but have anyone ever made (and published the results of) performance comparision between Neutrino, Mach and L4 ?

  5. Re:satellite and .nap files on 2MBps Bandwidth Anywhere Via Suitcase Transmitter · · Score: 1

    If it's a joke - I couldnt find it, so: this NAP is not for Napster. Its for Network Access Provider.

  6. Re:Dangerous? on 2MBps Bandwidth Anywhere Via Suitcase Transmitter · · Score: 1

    Such devices` microwave emissions are mostly harmful. Both because microwave is a non-ionizing radiation, and because the radiation which gets to you is decreased by distance^2, therefore negligible. you will probably enjoy this toy better if you dont have to be afraid from sudden brain frying...
