  1. This will fail on Israeli Firm Makes Kilomile Claims For Electric Car Battery Tech · · Score: 2

    Consumers don't want this. They want something to recharge at home during the night without having to visit "stations" in order to refill water or aluminium. Also, we already have a distribution system for electricity and gas, there will be no costly third aluminiumbattery-system.

  2. Re:Backwards compatibility on Boeing Touts Fighter Jet To Rival F-35 — At Half the Price · · Score: 1

    With Russia as a neighbour and having about 800 billion dollars extra lying around, there's no surprise that Norway wants the F-35.

  3. Foreskin is important on US Doctors Back Circumcision · · Score: 1

    Denmark study: Circumcision cuts sexual satisfaction in men and partners

    http://www.circinfo.org/controversy.html#frisch1

    CONCLUSIONS: Circumcision was associated with frequent orgasm difficulties in Danish men and with a range of frequent sexual difficulties in women, notably orgasm difficulties, dyspareunia and a sense of incomplete sexual needs fulfilment.

    I find the rotating wheel intuitive. Also on my Canon 7D.

    When I was a kid: What I couldn't get accces to at home, I could always get at some friend's house...

    He just turned 9 and my wife and I (and our many friends and their children) all fully agree that he has Never lied in his life.

    Lieing is a usefull skill. I lied for the first time when I was 5 years.
    When will you teach him to lie to women? ;)

  7. Superfold on MIT Media Lab Rolls Out Folding Car · · Score: 1

    >After folding the car takes up about a third of a normal parking space

    ...and after crashing the takes takes about a tenth of a normal parking space!

  8. One letter too much... on Swarmanoid 'Bots Rule Air, Land, Bookshelves · · Score: 1

    Remove the "S" in the name and then we're talking...

  9. Re:That's easy on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    Because we're a bunch of idiots. Next question?

    OK: Why are you a bunch of idiots? ;)

  10. Norwegian sciencetists are laughing their asses of on Complex Life Found Under 600 Feet of Antarctic Ice · · Score: 1

    Not sure if this has been posted before.
    Norwegian sciencetists have been studying these creatures for 30 years. This according Norway's biggest newspaper "Verdens gang". (vg.no)

  11. Norwegian newspaper: Automatic DJ-function on Bach Launches Updated MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    According to an article in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten[.no] the format also has extra cool features:

    Rough cut'n'paste from google translate:
    "- Unlike today, where you only get the disc and song titles, the Music DNA could provide descriptions of tempo, mood, energy and rhythm of the song. This makes the music file is extremely searchable"

    If those features could be incorporated in a .mp3-format (non-DRM) then that would be great.

  12. Re:Not our claim... :-) on Researchers Claim "Effectively Perfect" Spam Blocking Discovery · · Score: 1

    The slashdot-post promised more than it could deliver. Just like spam. Ironic.

  13. Re:Geez! on The Definitive Evisceration of The Phantom Menace *NSFW* · · Score: 1

    Agree.

    Parent is a flamebait? Think not. Moderators are not strong with the force...

  14. Change your name on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    Changing your name or adding e.g. a middle name may have the wished effect.

  15. Re:I'm thinking about moving to Norway on Norwegian Court Rules ISP Doesn't Have To Block The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Then we use the return from the Oljefondet (National Oil fund), currently at 2500 billions NOK (439 billion dollar) to keep going :P

    Kidding, we actually use that money to pay of all the pensions of our aging population. I wonder how other countries, that are not filthy rich, will be able to pay off the babyboomers after WWII without severe social consequences...

  16. Re:I'm thinking about moving to Norway on Norwegian Court Rules ISP Doesn't Have To Block The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the fårikål! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A5rik%C3%A5l

    In the 1970s, fårikål was elected national dish of Norway by a popular radio programme.

    I eat fårikål every year and it is both very easy to make and extremely good to eat. Recommended!

  17. Re:I'm thinking about moving to Norway on Norwegian Court Rules ISP Doesn't Have To Block The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Try reading the excellent book "riding the waves of culture". Then make a new effort of trying to understand Norwegians.

    The comment about your patients not pronouncing your name correct seems faulty. You say the name is easy to say correctly, but surely you must understand that if the patentis are not getting it right, then they find it hard to pronounce.

    Perhaps you expected to come to Norway and be admired and have a high status because you're a doctor? It's not like that, we're all equal here. Right? ;)

  18. Plain out propaganda on Microsoft Exec Says, "You'll Miss Vista" · · Score: 1

    I'm not familiar with Steve Guggenheimer, but this argument about Vista is idiotic. I hate Vista, it's just plain out bad compared to XP. I have wasted my money, but more important, my time on purchasing Vista on my home computer. At work I use XP and that's just way more faster.

  19. Cheap? Not sure, anyhow: on Solar Power Pre-Deployment To Afghanistan? · · Score: 1

    dealextreme.com has some cheap solutions. I have no experience with them, but it's a good tip, I think.

  20. Warmer please on Strong Methane Emissions On the Siberian Shelf · · Score: 1

    We folks here in cold Norway are looking forward to getting tanned at the beach during the winter. Thanks all. You rock.

    BTW, thanks for not joining the Kyoto agreement USA.

    That's highly immoral in my eyes.

  22. Re:Don't remind me... on Authentic Viking DNA From 1,000-Year-Old Skeletons · · Score: 1

    Just do not visit the bar "Thor" in Oslo, the capital of Norway. It has a viking-theme, the only one in Oslo, but sadly you only find the lowest of the low when it comes to viking-gene-quality.

    Ironically, you should rather attend the bar "Internasjonalen" [the international] at the Youngstorget.

  23. Re:AD or CE? on Authentic Viking DNA From 1,000-Year-Old Skeletons · · Score: 1

    Suck it. Your post is so offtopic. It's so long that I didn't ever bother reading it. Such a long explaination to such a simple question is always wrong.

    Lets keep the expressions that we are used to. Stop wasting our time.

  24. I'm a viking on Authentic Viking DNA From 1,000-Year-Old Skeletons · · Score: 1

    I'm a Norwegian. There havn't been any migration from south to Scandinavia, if you exclude the last 15 years. That makes most scandinavians vikings.

    We were good at producing food, but not good enough. So whene food and land [e.g. Norway is mountaionus) was running short we'd invade and settle in another country.

    We attacked and kept parts of Britain and parts of France.

    A modern part of this "space problem" was the mass-migration to USA during the 1800 and 1900's.

  25. Re:ha ha ha on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    ok ok ok, I know that the reasoning was too short and perhaps by some theories wrong. However, being a practional person, I posted it anyways. Also, I'm sure being somewhat drunk also contributed to this situation. Some day soon I will take some time off to learn your difficult words, like: solipsism, phlogiston and read The Computational Capacity of the Universe. But I'd like to point out that in theory we may be part of different virtual realities linked via Slashdot enabeling us both to be right at the same time. Given (naturally) that we in the future does not decode our virtual reality and hack the code, reversing time and removing all posts from Slashdot in a move that would make The Matrix look like a good movie. Cause in my reality, The Matrix only scored 1,5 at IMDB. ;-)
