  1. i'd still on AMD and Intel Notebooks Head to Head · · Score: 3, Insightful

    buy a powerbook any day of the week

  2. Substitute letters with alphanumerics on Enforcing Crytographically Strong Passwords · · Score: 1

    For instance, I'd remember the word alphanumerics as a password, but use a password like @lph@num3r!cs. This is not uncrackable, but dictionary style pw searching is not going to find it.

  3. Netherlands maybe? on Overseas Grad Studies for US Students? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here in the Netherlands PhD students are paid a net salary between 1500 and 2000 EUR net per month. Also, everybody speaks (some form of) english; it is the lingua franca of research here. For a list of universities see this list

  4. Emusic on Obtaining Legal MP3s Outside of the U.S.? · · Score: 1

    Check out www.emusic.com (with which I'm not affiliated, but use regularly) They sell mp3's for 22 cents a piece and have a nice collection. Some albums can not be sold outside the US though because of regulations (different record companies for the same cd inside and outside the US), but this seems to be a small percentage.

  5. ./ server on 2.5.65 On 32-way NUMA-Q with Preempt Enabled · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Would be nice if /. mirrored the stories it links to. This way only news >1 day old is accessible :(

  6. Hamilton rules on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    My favorite scifi universe is the universe created by Peter F. Hamilton in his Night's Dawn trilogy (also short stories featuring this environment are collected in "A second chance at Eden"). Absolutely believable high-speed space opera ;)
