  1. Re:But is Lindows on sale in Sweden? on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it is any longer, but Lindows has been for sale in Sweden.

  2. Re:Fossil Fuels? on California Bans Genegineered Fish · · Score: 1

    Fossil fuel, such as coal and oil, is formed from dead plants and animals. Uranium, on the other hand, is a metal. Fossil fuels contain carbon, and burning them releases it into the atmosphere which contributes to the greenhouse effect. They also contain varying amounts of sulphur, which contributes to acid rain.

  3. Re:Censorship. on Swedish ISP Blocks Computers That Send Spam · · Score: 2, Informative

    Telia's terms of use state that the customer may not use their service to send spam, and that he will have his connection terminated if he does. If someone wishes to send spam then he'll just have to find an ISP that is willing to sell him that service.

  4. Re:Deja Vou on Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update, Take Two · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unwilling to learn from the mistakes of others I installed the upgraded version of 10.2.8 on my eMac twenty minutes ago.

    So far, so good. The network does work, the computer is able to wake from sleep, no crashes when using the processor 100%.

  5. Re:Um...So this is me... on Dell Announces New Music Player, Download Service · · Score: 1

    It is not the fact that Dell makes a portable MP3 player alone that makes people call it a rip off. It is the fact that the Dell Digital Jukebox looks a lot like the Apple iPod, combined with the fact that Dell is also offering a service for purchasing downloadable music.

  6. No trouble here on Apple Pulls 10.2.8 Update · · Score: 1

    I updated my eMac to 10.2.8 as soon as the update became available. Everything still works. As usual.

    The ethernet drivers work, the system doesn't suffer any kernel panics, the computer doesn't boot slower...

  7. Re:Why are MS and Apple involved? on Microsoft, OD2 Start European Music Service · · Score: 1

    You need Apple and Microsoft because they, unlike those "better tied in" actually have the balls to try.

  8. Re:Email Isn't Time Online? on Youth Spend More Time on Web Than TV · · Score: 1
    Unless you've got a web-based mail account there's no need to be online to read your mail. Just connect to the mail server, download it, disconnect, and read it in peace. I'm not quite sure how you're supposed to send the mail while offline though.

    But wait, don't all kids use hotmail these days? Well, there goes that theory.

  9. Re:Question on iTunes: Don't Leave Home With Them · · Score: 1

    This guy's music files worked just fine until he had to reauthorize his computer to play music from the iTMS, which he can't do because he no longer lives in the US. As far as I know, updating your system doesn't deautorize your computer, so you should have no problem there. And you should never encounter any problems with the music stored on your iPod.

  10. Re:What about software on Sweden Crunches Cookies · · Score: 1

    The law explicitly allows that. It does not interfere with the sending of messages.

  11. So? on Swiss Researchers Exploit Windows Password Flaw · · Score: 5, Insightful

    13.6 seconds or 101 seconds doesn't make much difference, now does it? The real problem is still getting administrator access to the target computer in the first place.
