  1. Re:And there is still the unsolved issue of... on Former Anti-Nuclear Activist Does A 180 · · Score: 1

    Yes I am pro nuclear as well, but the level of competence of the contractors working in this field and their professional standards is really freaking me out.

    Well. I do not own anything produced by Apple, never did and probably never will. :)

  3. Re:he's got a point. on Dvorak Slams OLPC As 'Naive Fiasco' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think we are to much entrenched in our superiority feeling towards African people, evidently a reminiscence from the "good old" colonialism time, that we deem them inferior and unable to do anything for themselves. In the 19th century we wanted to "civilize" them and now we just throw them scraps from the table to feed their starving children. The situation they are in is a clear result of colonialism and economic neoclonialism for which we are directly responsible. Giving them a bowl of rice to survive until tomorrow is not going to solve the problem. Helping them to build sustainable economies will probably do it. The laptop for child is a long shot but it might break the vicious circle they are in by creating a better educated new generation that will refuse to work in the diamond mines for 1$ a day so that some f.... Belgian company gets filthy rich. I guess that is "our" greatest fear! That someday they won't be dependent on us and IMF and their natural resources won't be open for plunder. I hope that day comes sooner!

  7. Re:Hmph on US Military 'Hacked' by Emails · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I onestly belive that such incidents are in a way unavoidable and making the security buget bigger is not going to solve this. More rulles, regulations and paranoia are going to lead to even worse security at the end of the day. One of the examples for this was company that decided that user passwords need to be at least 12 caracters long contain small caps, big caps, numbers and punctuation signs, non dictionary words, no sequences .... The result was that everybody had their passwords writen down and most of them kept on the desk. The whole aproach on security needs to be revisited.

  13. data storage on Blu-ray vs. HD DVD Round Two · · Score: 1

    I don't care whitch movies are released by MPAA supporters on either Blu-ray or GD-DVD. All I care about is data storage. And right now the cost of Blu-ray is more than 50cent/gig compared with less than 10 cents per gig on DVD. Not to mancion you need to spend upfront 800$ for a writer. What the heck the price per gig on hardrive is less than 25 cents per gig with no upfront costs.
