  1. Re:Finally on Roundest Object In the World Created · · Score: 1

    Well, if we played Snooker with perfectly round balls, then we also need a perfectly flat table.

    A perfectly flat table would be a table where every point of the surface has exactly the same distance to the earth center of gravity. That would make the table surface a spherical sector.

  2. Also Fiberoptic in large Russian cities on Japanese Online Connectivity Ahead of EU/US · · Score: 2, Informative

    In May I went to Tolyatti, Russia. About 1 million people living there. It's not a grown city, but a planned one. Huge Plattenbaus with more than 600 apartments each.

    The family I lived with had a 8Mbit/s down / 256 kbit/s up ADSL connection. Pretty nice for Russia, I thought. One day they told me, that someone would come "to make the Internet faster". Ok, I thought. What will happen, it's already fast. Install some Voodoo software to tweak IP option optimized for ADSL?

    The next day some people from the Internet provider came by with tools and stuff. One of the guys had a Toolbox labeled with "Splicemaster 2000" and my jaw fell down. They really got fiberoptics to the home. Synchronous 100Mbit/s. But as far as I know, most Internat access is prepaid. You buy a prepaid card for say 500 MB for about 50 Rubels (~2 US$), enter the pin code via phone and then you can surf.

  3. Re:No problem for me. on U.S. Airport Screeners Are Watching What You Read · · Score: 1

    When I travelled from Germany to the States two weeks ago, I had a copy of 1984 with me and got promptly some extra screening...

  4. Re:Hello World on Any "Pretty" Code Out There? · · Score: 1

    Assuming your DefaultFactory should be something Singleton-like, the getInstance() method is not thread-safe. If it's called from differents thread, there maybe different factory instances lurking around.
    You could make the getInstance() method synchronized, but that's slow if called often or use a static initialisation like:
    static DefaultFactory instance = new DefaultFactory();

  8. only 702 MB??? on Giant List Of Linux-based Live CDs · · Score: 4, Informative

    The famous Knoppix is also available as DVD version with even more software and stuff. Dunno if it's already on the net.

    Would it not be possible to create Trashfiles which have the same MD5(or what ever) Checksums as the original files?
