  1. conspiracy theory on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So now they're burrying the global warming issues and starting to talk about including new clauses for terrorism prevention. And Bush is very pleased with the resolution the G8 leaders took. It all seems so very convenient...

    Be prepared to see many conspiracy-theory books in stores soon...

  2. Re: The real bugger is... on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 0, Troll

    I bet it's the New Yorkers pissed off at them not getting the olympics.. :P

  3. Re:A Language on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    And not only learn the language by taking a course studying it for a few years. You never learn to speak in a way that native speakers will understand it even if you study it for 6 years.
    I've met Americans who've studied Japanese/French/German for that long and they all speak it as if speaking English, but after a year in Japan/France you can actually tell they've improved a lot.
    I'm not French/Japanese/American myself, and I'm not saying Americans have a harder time learning languages (well maybe they do as they're only exposed to one language (ok, maybe mexican spanish as well ;), I just took the americans as an example because most of you reading this will be americans). You probably know what I mean, take the French or Japanese speaking English as an example.
    Oh, and my biggest point, you also learn a whole lot else by being abroad for a longer time, not just a langauge!

  4. Crack des in one month! on Can You Spare A Few Trillion Cycles? · · Score: 1

    Now you can put your computer where your mouth is (?) and help us crack DES i one week. We have a distributed system, and a client written in C/Assembler that contacts the server, gets three bytes and it checks all alternatives that start with those three bytes. Interested? Read more here!

    So the question is: can you spare us a few million cycles?-)

  5. He is dead! on British School Offers Elvish Lessons · · Score: 1

    Haven't you heared? ELVIS(h) is dead! He's not coming back, live with it!

  6. Alternative student cooking on Cooking with the Internet? · · Score: 2, Informative

    A friend of mine has put up a brilliant homepage about how to cook with your kitchen invaded. That is, invaded by other students who use the same kitchen. :) Great!

  7. Re:4GB Compact Flash for $200? on iPod Mini Sells Out · · Score: 1

    Has anyone been able to use the 4gb memorycard from a MuVo2 actually inside a e.g. Canon Powershot 400? Just wondering, because this article's second last picture shows that it's a little thicker than the normal one...(?) Any experience?
