  1. France Telecom offers VOIP in Italy! on VoIP Backlash From Phone Companies · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ironically France telecom is one of the main players in the commercial VOIP field in Italy offering unlimited calls within Europe for a flat rate of 25 euro per month through it parla.it subsidiary. This whilst using your your POTS phones connected to their router.

    Whilst this is a good thing in a country still plagued by outragious international rates (from 18ct/min within EU!) I find it ridiculous that they want to block it on their home-turf. It could be a case of a (too) large company not knowing what the other leg is doing but this smells bad. I would not be surprised about Telecom Italia blocking all VOIP over the backbones other then their own flavour. I am allready suspiciuous by the common Skype disconnections in a conversation (something that did not happen in Holland) - but then again nobody is surprised as it happens with the POTS lines too!

  2. That's why the UN should run it! on Blackout Shows Net's Fragility · · Score: 1

    This is it. We're coming to take over the net from you guy's. Your companies are obviously not able to run it reliably. All non US ISP's should be required to resolve DNS to un.un.

  3. Re:Every year, the same bullshit on Physicists Uncover TV Show Biases · · Score: 1

    If this is true (which I think it is) then it must be that the only people watching the show from holland are the turkish immigrants. How else would you explain a 12 vote to Turkey, instead of for example Denmark or Israel which had more typical western pop songs.

  4. Re:So that means... on Rome Moving to Linux · · Score: 1

    nops: Kool Desktop Environment is expected to lower AC spending as well. Besides that, it's "Invented Here", Italy beeing the most southern region of Germany.

  5. Re:Power Toys for Windows XP on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 1

    In fact it doesn't work well. I tried to recreate a bit of KDE feel at work. Needless to say, I did not succeed.

  6. thats around $70.- a week then on Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 1

    I make about 7000 rupees a week, and I work about ten hours a day

  7. Re:Main advantages not relevent on Why Open Source Makes Sense For Handhelds · · Score: 1

    How many years ago did you have a palm m100? Just wondering how old my PDA must be by now....

  8. Re:gimp is too complicated for me... on First Preview of GIMP 2.0 Ready for Testing · · Score: 1

    The Gimp 2 should really do it for you. I am hardly an advanced user but it works fine for small retouches.

    Pixieplus can also do a lot of the standard things, check it out!
