  1. Re:Product Liability on Creative Zens Ship with Worms · · Score: 1

    Gosh, it reminded me that scene in the "Fight Club" movie, where that crazy guy blew up his apartment by leaving oven gas run out... Well, at least, that scene was realistic, whereas your case seems to be very unlikely... At least, nowadays (who knows what's going to be in the future)... :)

    First of all, I don't think that a properly assembled motherboard can overheat so much, that it starts burning... It sure can overheat, but the odds are that it's the chip that's going to go burn out quickly and stop heating up, than that it's going to heat up until it starts burning... :)

    My high-school physics teacher (Science Candidate/PhD in physics), who lives in Estonia and studied physics in Russian (Moscow State University), did believe in God. Though, this belief was pretty far from canonical, he used to explain us that he believes, that the relict neutrino radioation are the "higher intelligence" rays, that, probably, God emits. Of course, he explained it much better than me, so, besides normal physics courses, it was fun to listen to such stories... He was one of our favourite teachers...

    Na is not a cation here, so no '+' is needed...

    Correction: 2 of the water atoms are hydrogen cations... ;) And, of course, loosing protons is impossible in a chemical reaction, as opposed to gaining electrons... Though it is possible in a nuclear reaction.

    Here comes the software. :-) You know, it was originally meant to automate things... :-)

    Web sites are already improving -- I don't see the number of "IE-only" sites that I did thanks to the spread of Mozilla, Linux, and Mac OS X running Safari.

    To me it seems more like a standards-compliance-trend... Mozilla has still less than 30-50% of total page hits, on some popular sites it has less than 10% of page hits... Maybe it's just growing it's market share, that makes web-designers make their sites 'portable', but it's clearly not beacuse Mozilla and all others have taken the majority or even a big part of the web-browsers market...

    BTW, I use Mozilla and have exorcised at least 3 IEs on my friends' PCs, replacing it with either Mozilla 1.6 or Mozilla Fire[bird/fox] (under Windows). :)

    Actually, according to the physics Gravity Law, *every* object in the Universe interacts with *any* other one. This proves that the idea of distinguishing planets from other solar system's objects can't be done based on just this concept (by the "interaction level")

    Sorry. (Grrr....) :)

    Is it a joke? It's damn funny... LOL But occasionally I haven't seen any women (yeah, I know what you mean) on our roads on every damn spot... If you want exactly that, then try going to Kaliningrad (Russian Federation) that is some 500 km to the South from Estonia... :D What I meant is that Estonia has many other things to see... But I know, some of you, especially young americans, don't understand this... ;) Or am I wrong? Then prove it -- show, how enlightened are you... :) (But, please, don't flame!..)

  10. Re:The whole country, or just the Tallinn area? on Estonia: Where the Internet is a Human Right · · Score: 1

    And talking about Internet as a human right, I would agree with others that this is total bullshit. A trick of local elder politics, who doesn't even know what Internet is and does...

    Our country is worth visiting, but not because we have Internet on every damn spot! :)

    *Sigh*
    We all like to overdramatize situations around us, because it makes us feel our life is that interesting... :)

    I live in Estonia, in Tallinn... :D We have some users in bigger towns and even in farms who are using good ADSL Internet access (with, say, 512 Kbit or 1 Mbit/s connection)... In smaller towns people are using shared Internet access, that means "divided Internet". In Tallinn it is almost normal to have a Cable or ADSL Internet access, because it is relativelyy cheap compared to the comfort of use. And almost 66-75% of families (mostly those with kids) have a PC at home with Internet access in Tallinn...
