  1. Re:THE IPOD on Behind The Development Of The iPod nano · · Score: 1

    Since that was on the DVD-extras for FOTR at least, and that DVD is one of the best-selling DVD:s of all time, I think it's a safe bet that some of us have heard the story before, yes ;)

  2. FIX for securemote under 10.3.9 on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update · · Score: 1

    Long live the apple forums, there's a fix for this problem.

    I (== the company i work in) use it, and it broke here too, wont start anymore. Hopefully Checkpoint will release a fix soon, now I actually have to go the office to get some work done :-P

    tpu.fi is a school, im feeling more sorry for the student who put those pics on his homepage, i bet he's having a nice chat with their admin right about now ;-)

  6. wow europe on NYT on World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    On a related note, the european version of wow opened today, see http://wow-europe.com/en/.

    Everything went smoothly when i registered in the morning, but i hear the servers are totally bogged down now, especially the registration-server.

  7. Re:Screw iTunes - I want Address Book and iCal Pho on More on Apple/Motorola Joint Cell Phone Venture · · Score: 1

    So why dont you buy one then: http://www.apple.com/isync/devices.html My last 3 cellphones have talked happily with my Mac. Syncing, sending files, sending sms with the computer, using it as a modem etc "just works"..

  8. Re:AArrrgGGhhh!!! on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    You probably mean VLC? And yes, its the best mediaplayer for OS X, use it all the time :)

    Get a blue ipod mini ;-)

  10. Re:Get Ready for GUI Dissapointment on Windows to Mac Migration Guide/Advice? · · Score: 1

    Writing this with a Powerbook that has a USB-mouse attached, works just as fine ;-)

    Of course if you are on the road somewhere it might be a bit hard sometimes to find a surface to use the mouse on..

  11. Re:Get Ready for GUI Dissapointment on Windows to Mac Migration Guide/Advice? · · Score: 1

    Go to the nearest computer store and buy a mouse for $10. OS X supports mice with many buttons very nicely, and button2 does what you wuold expect most of the time as an old windows-user. Dunno why Apple still insists on shipping mice with only one button with their computers, but normal USB-mice work nicely with a Mac. It's the first thing I change when getting a new Mac, get rid of the one-button-mouse.

  12. Re:how's its hygiene? on Gentoo for Mac OS X Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_MacOS

    From the documentation: "Portage installs things in / and could possibly overwrite important packages that were installed by OS X. Use this technology at your own risk!".

    I think I'll stick to fink for now, they could at least have used /usr/local and not mess with / :-/

  13. Re:That's not Europe! on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Exactly! I read the title and thought "finally, about damn time", and then it's only 3 countries of the ~45 countries in Europe. Somebody mod the parent up.

  14. Re:Why even wait for the Mini???? on iPod Mini Worldwide Rollout Delayed · · Score: 1

    Because I don't *need* 11GB more storage, that's what most people here seem to be missing. 4GB is more than enough for a portable music player that I'm going to use mostly on my way to work etc.

    I appreciate the smaller size much more than the extra 11GB I'm going to have trouble filling anyway. That it's cheaper is just an added bonus.

  15. Bloody americans! on iPod Mini Worldwide Rollout Delayed · · Score: 3, Funny

    God damn it, I was going to buy one next week, but no, thanks to you I'm going to have to wait until July, thank you very very much!

    Would you please stop hogging them so that we could get at least a couple over here in Europe too ;-)

  16. Re:PHP needs namespaces on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 1

    PHP5 had namespace-support at one point in the development cycle. It was later dropped, dunno why.

  17. Re:Siemens trumps Nokia on Nokia Shows Off Megapixel Camera Phone · · Score: 1

    SonyEricsson also introduced a 1.3Mpix phone a couple of weeks ago, the s700. (Warning, horrible flash-contraption)

  18. Re:Highlights on EU Passes Nasty IP Law · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yes they are elected, and at least here in Finland people seem to vote for the most annoying politicians to become MEP:s, so they get rid of them for 4 years ;-) (The European Parliament is in Brussels, long way from Finland)

  19. Re:So how does this affect Sony-Ericsson and UIQ? on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: 1

    Actually UIQ is the default GUI for Symbian and is made by Symbian itself. It's Nokia who isn't using the standard GUI but has slapped it's own GUI (Series60) on top of Symbian.

    Of course now that Nokia owns the majority of Symbian I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to push their own GUI instead of UIQ. Which would generally suck, because I think UIQ is superior too (had a P800).

  20. Re:.nu in Sweden on Niue WiFi Network Gone, .nu TLD May Follow · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well "nu" is a word in Swedish, meaning "now", so it's easy to see why companies like it, "cars.now" would be a nice domain for any cardealership.

  21. Re:SAMBA? on Ars Technica Posts Panther Review · · Score: 1

    Works fine for me, both against linux samba boxes, and windows boxes. Sometimes the "browse the network" feature has a bit trouble seing all the machines, but "connect to server" saves the day.

    iD released a win32/OpenGL version of quake as unsupported, though free, software a couple of years after the original, called GLQuake.

  24. Finland on Worldwide State of Broadband - S Korea, Japan Lead · · Score: 1

    Overall, monthly subscriptions are generally between $30 and $50, but run as high as $165.89 in Finland, the report said. The average U.S. cost was $53.

    Where in the hell have they been doing their research? Not in Finland, that's for sure. The average price for an ADSL 512/512Kbps is about 50euros/month here in Finland, and I have a 10Mbps (capped upstrem though) cable for 45euros/month.

  25. Re:The Party on Assembly '03 · · Score: 1

    Umm, if you would have actually bothered to read the page you would have noticed that the dates on the front page are in the ad for Assembly. The Party takes place in December, always has.
