  1. Re:In other news... on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 1

    Well, that could work, to a certain extent. People with cancer would have died, and the carcinogen genes would slowly fade away. But of course the human costs would be horrible.
    I just had to point it out though, even though it's not something we SHOULD do ;-)

  2. Eminem on Eminem Sues Apple for Sampling his Samples · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Who cares about that dickhead anyway? I'm surprised they wanted to sample him in the first place...

  3. Electric shavers on Keyless Entries Fail In Las Vegas On Friday · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's surely caused by someone's huuuuge king-size electric shaver nearby.

  4. Re:whoa on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, but don't you go picking on Civilization, or Sid will have your balls in no time!

  5. By the time they realize the potential... on Open Source Software Serves Niche Markets · · Score: 4, Funny

    And now you told them? Moron!

  6. KiMs on Microsoft Launches RFID Software Project · · Score: 1

    DAMNIT! First, we all hear how Scandinavia's other large snack producer is owned by the devil itself - Kraft Foods, and now KiMs is cooperating with the other devil?
    It's like some big conspiracy to make us all eat healthy stuff...

  7. Norway (NextGenTel) on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 2, Informative

    $58/month (NOK 399) for a 1000/384 kbps ADSL line (yes, 1000, they're all into using good looking base10 numbers here nowadays).
    It might be a stiff price compared to the US, but at least there are no restrictions on the line. That is to say, there are no transfer limits, no rules against running servers, etc.

  8. My ISP (NextGenTel) on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    I doubt that my ISP will do something similar any time soon. Afterall, one of their slogans is "free usage at a fixed cost is just something you should EXPECT from a broadband service".

  9. Waste #22 on Wasting Time Fixing Computers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Summary: Writing all this stuff -- time spent: 2 hours.

  10. Re:Why u/g the GX card, just on Tom's 46 Video Card Roundup · · Score: 1

    We're not just talking about upgrades here. If you have the intelligence to open a door, you'll want to build your own (personal) computer yourself.

  11. Re:Broktree 8x8 based on Cross-Platform Video Capture Cards And TV Tuners? · · Score: 1

    Well, btaudio really isn't a problem, if you've got a line-in to spare. But I see your point.

  12. Broktree 8x8 based on Cross-Platform Video Capture Cards And TV Tuners? · · Score: 1

    I own a Pinnacle Studio PCTV (BT848 based). I'm very happy with it, although it doesn't support very high resolution capture (max is 384x288 or so). The viewing software from Pinnacle for Windows is nice, and BT8x8 based cards (at least 848) are supported in Linux 2.4.x up.
    In general, from what I've heard, BT8x8 based cards are cheap, reliable, of decent quality, and widely supported.

  13. Re:eh? on MySQL 5.0.0 (Alpha) Released · · Score: 1

    Well, seeing as MySQL AB is a Swedish company, and we scandinavians celebrate December 24th as the "main day" of xmas, it isn't that bad. Non-christian scandinavians don't care about December 25th.

  14. Ogg Vorbis on Rumors of Mini iPods · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Time for Ogg Vorbis support too, don't you think?

  15. IP over avian carriers implementation on Pigeons Faster than Internet · · Score: 1

    Although lacking "quality of service information", the closely related RFC 1149 has been implemented by the Bergen LUG.

  16. That annoying spellchecker on A Glimpse Into 3D future: DirectX Next Preview · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Notice how some words, such as "OSs", are underlined by the spellchecker in the pictures. Are they too lazy to remove those?

  17. I tried to give them my money... on SCO Letter to Fortune 1500 Now Online · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you would like additional information, a copy of the complaint and response may be viewed at our web site at www.sco.com/scocource.

    So I go there with hope that I will learn the details of how to pay them the money I owe, and I get a 404! Ah well...

  18. VB GUI on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 0, Troll

    You mean he wrote a VB GUI for the crack, right?

  19. Tax on talking on Minnesota Senator Says Email Tax Might Reduce Spam · · Score: 1

    People talk too much and too loud, they oughta be taxed. Geez, you can't go around taxing communication like this!

  20. Re:Silicon Valley? on Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access · · Score: 1, Funny

    Arnie is afraid that such a high-speed network will lead to Skynet becoming self-aware.

  21. Re:hmmm on Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, you want open competition as long as you do not have to compete against a powerful contestant?
    The whole idea is to provide the best product at the cheapest price to the consumer. If the government is able to do this better than you or other ISPs are, why should you stay in business with your current product offering?

  22. Re:Odd... on China Outlines Moon Project Goals · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Actually, it seems like the money would be better spent in China, improving the humanitarian and social situation.
    I'm all for space programs, but a country like China should reconsider its priorities.

  23. Oil is mighty on The End of the Oil Age · · Score: 1

    The problem is just that the oil industry is so very mighty. Take for instance my own country, Norway - with one hand we're "all for" new sources of energy, and with the other hand, our entire budget is based on the oil we have.

  24. GVU Center logo on Common PC Video Games Used To Treat Phobias · · Score: 1

    How come these guys (who run high-tech simulators) are totally unable to present anything better than a 16-colour logo?

  25. Obligatory Simpsons quote on Next Major War in Space? · · Score: 1

    "The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield, but in space (or possibly on the top of a very high mountain), and by robots instead of soldiers. And as you go forward, always remember your duty - to build and maintain these robots!"
