  1. Re:Agreed: Don't Do It! on Cell Phone Service as High Speed Internet Link? · · Score: 1

    Cant remember the G3 specs (2mbit?) - but one thing is what it should be able to do - another is what the telco is putting in.

    I worked for a short time (student summerjob) for a big telco putting up G3 network - most base stations didnt have more than 4-8mbit to the network. The hub with most bandwith was 16mbit - thats 8 phones going at full speed - (In fact you would have around a 1.000 phones roaming on that hub)

    Ohh and no phone actually supports that bandwith as far as I know - it uses way to much power to go at that speed.

  2. Re:This the same EU? on Deadline Looming for Microsoft in Antitrust Case · · Score: 1

    I dont think its because we want to leave as such - more like we are a damned little country, but we like to kick up af fuss :)

  3. GREAT!... on Google Ads for RSS Feeds Goes Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Or not, its bloody annoying when people does stuff like that - try grabbing the slashdot rss feed - it will put in

    and tags into the feed which contains ads.
    Don't style the rss feed! If the links doesn't go to your site and you want ads, then don't offer the bloody feed!

  4. Re:How many unique downloads? on Firefox Growth Slowing? · · Score: 1

    How about downloads through portage (gentoo)? Or other mirrors for that matter, Ive never used the official site for downloads since I'm usually close to a local mirror.

    The number is just a number, and I call BS on the growthrate - Everyone I know is switching to firefox - 2 months ago only the "tech savy" guys had it - now even the big ol' boss is running FF.

  5. Re:Bored with hardware? on The Dual-Core War - Is Intel in Trouble? · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the exact same thing. 15 years ago I was reading about new huge harddrives (some 20-50MB) and my biggest wish was for a new diskdrive for my amiga. 10 years ago everything had to be voodoo - now adays I really dont give a rats ass what runs under the hood - as long as its stable and I can do dual monitor on the rig.

  6. Re:Dont forget about Poland on IBM to Lose 13,000 Jobs · · Score: 1

    I know from good sources that the reason why Motorola is moving to Poland is the people there have good education - but unlike India and China they have been raised to make decisions and follow through.

  7. Re:Straight from their TOS... on Comcast Sued For Giving Customer Info to RIAA · · Score: 1

    I find this so baffling that they can say that. Here in Denmark you cant change the policy without proper notice, and the policy changes cant be applied untill after the current "term" (ie. if you pay per quarter it wont be applied untill after next quarter) - Ohh yeah, firms does try to fsck with their costumers, but we got our consumer watchdog "forbrugerrådet" to deal with that.

  8. Re:Flip-Flop on Dell Might do AMD · · Score: 1

    Not entirely correct.
    You get 6 months full warranty, the next 6 months the company has to prove that you did something wrong in order to void warranty - and then for the last 12 months its up to the user to prove that the equipment was malproduced - thats what the law says, but most places they tend to give 2 years full warranty (at least here in Denmark) - Oh yeah, and if you turn something in, get it repaired then the warranty gets extended. My muvo died after 14 months of use, got it replaced with a bigger model and extended for 24 months - only expenses I had was buying the bus ticket to turn the hardware in.

  9. Re:Leasing servers on Is Leasing Really Worth It? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That really makes no sence to me...
    If I were to lease (rent) something and it broke I (here in Denmark) would just return it and ask for it to be replaced. And I'd call bs on the amount of time, we got a couple of servers on lease for 4 years now, it would have been cheaper to buy them if you just look at the cost and divide that by the rent, but thats not how you do those calculations - you need to look at the value of investing the money vs. buying the hardware, which leads us to point C - you would do the exact opposite in my opinion - if you got high devaluation on an item and you can lease it go for it.

  10. Re:Duh!! on State-Sponsored Solitaire? · · Score: 1

    It would be logic that way, but in my experience slaggers has a tendency to be promoted - why? because since they never do anything they never f*** up, and thus must be competent people... right?

  11. Re:1/6 is 5/6 too few on Telco Spams and Gets Huge Fine · · Score: 0

    This being Denmark you probably need to kill someone to get into jail - however, it will get on your record if you shoplift.

  12. Re:Of course, it goes both ways on "Enemies of Linux" Trying to Undermine OS? · · Score: 1

    Yeah - what the hell is that reboot about? Its a pain debugging the XP systems because you cant see what the f*** is wrong, it just reboots.
    Back in good old NT4 you got a screen full of usefull information, and with a little knowledge you had a chance of figureing out what got the system a tad unhappy.

  13. Re:Booor-ing... on Significant Advance in Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    "I don't think many people actually believe that, and there are no known algorithms for NP problems."
    Ahrem, there are no known polynominal algorithms - you can bruteforce them given enough time, and therefore there is an algorithm.

  14. Re:So, let me get this straight... on Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux · · Score: 1

    Also people like me who choose the tool for the job at hand - I have both windows an linux on my machines becasue windows does some things better than linux (games etc), while linux handles my studies better (Tex, programming, etc).
    If one of them someday were good enough to do what the other does for me I would switch in an instant... I dont care if it says linux of microsoft, I do care about the costs and if it handles the job at hand.

    Actually since the US is a heck of alot bigger than UK it would be more correct (as someone already has said) to be saing boston is in new york.

    What is it with german television and voiceovers anyways? Its bloody annoying because you guys get the new movies before us danes - and I cant watch them because I suck at deutch.

    That might be how it works in your end of the world, but around here - if sold me a license and decided to rewoke it I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to a 100% refund since that I can no longer use what I payed for.
