  1. Re:Not twisted enough on Ministry of Defense's "How To Stop Leaks" Document Is Leaked · · Score: 1

    Noone knows.

  2. Re:Also... on "Side By Side Assemblies" Bring DLL Hell 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure assembly binding redirection doesn't require you to have the signing key. :)

  3. Re:And by all developers you mean on "Side By Side Assemblies" Bring DLL Hell 2.0 · · Score: 1

    VS 2008 can target 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5. The older versions are all married to the platform they shipped with.

  4. Re:Obvious answer is obvious on Collaborative Software For Pair Programming? · · Score: 1

    I think the OP is going for collaborative editing, not sharing code via a SCM. The feedback cycle is entirely different when you can just type up something and the other party sees it immediately, instead of having to commit, notify the other, then have them do an update.

  5. Re:RIAA on ASCAP Wants To Be Paid When Your Phone Rings · · Score: 1

    Except if you happen to want an iPhone, in which case you're tied to TeliaSonera.

    Oh, so it wasn't Die Hard then?

  7. Re:Sesame Street & the Importance of Bilingual on Shouldn't Every Developer Understand English? · · Score: 1

    That's because outside of Helsinki (and inside as well) it's pretty easy to find young people who can't hold a conversation at all, let alone in another language. :)

  8. Re:All aspects of securerom? on EA Releases DRM License Deactivation Tool · · Score: 1

    Actually, GP is correct in the sense that with HOMM, getting to play pretty much is equivalent to a bullet to the brain.

  9. Re:Torrent Freak on Big Swedish Filesharing Server Seized · · Score: 1
    Right...

    Ponten also claimed that the Sunnydale topsite was the source of all pirated material available on The Pirate Bay, but this was denied by Peter Sunde. "More than 800,000 people have uploaded to The Pirate Bay, so I don't believe it's the source of everything. But it is possible that it's a major source," he said.

  10. Re:A Strawman for the Symptom on Pirate Bay P2P Trial Begins In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Nice of you to bring this up -- almost anything intended to further some agenda, good or bad, fits the literal interpretation of "propaganda". Unfortunately, the word has a negative connotation which makes people think all propaganda is bad or based on falsehoods. It could quite possibly be correct to state that the MPAA tactic is manipulation bordering on indoctrination, and the counterattacks are mainly propaganda.

    The really important thing to note is that from propaganda to manipulation to indoctrination, the target is progressively less aware that someone is trying to influence them, and thus typically less able to think critically about the way they are being influenced. So propaganda is in fact the most transparent way to influence things, and thus also the least suspect. .-)

    Worse. No shutdown button.

    Replying to undo accidental mis-moderation (Was going for "Funny", hit "Overrated" instead).

  13. Re:Success is being in the right place at the righ on Success Not Just a Matter of Talent · · Score: 1

    So if 30% of the remaining 50% is hard work, and 20% of it is talent, what's the other 50%, IOW the last 25% of the total? :p

    Silverlight 2 is Silverlight 1.1, re-branded.

  16. Re:Exceptionally good. on Usability Testing Hardy Heron With a Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    You're probably half right -- I don't know if it supports installing custom smiley packages. Unfortunately, it *does* happily display them from users of the official client.

    Good for them that stab-over-internet hasn't been invented yet...

  17. Re:A disgrace to Finland on Finnish Censorship Expanding · · Score: 1

    This is unverified, but the latest rumor is that Sonera is going to do it too in the very near future. Also, I'm never ever going to be a paying customer of Sonera ever again (long story).

    I'm not surprised about Saunalahti, ever since Elisa bought them it feels like the quality of their service been going steadily downhill. Been considering Nebula too, but since there's no definitive word out yet, I'm yet undecided.

  18. Re:A disgrace to Finland on Finnish Censorship Expanding · · Score: 1

    On a side note, I don't suppose you would know of any ISP that would have pledged to *not* use the secret block lists? My ISP (Saunalahti) seems to be basing its blocking on DNS entries, so OpenDNS is enough to circumvent the blockage; however I'd rather pay my monthly fees to an ISP that would refuse to do the blocking to begin with.

    Indeed, that's why I voted for Kasvi in the last elections. Thanks for the list, I think I will both write to those people and pass the list on to others who are interested.

  20. Re:A disgrace to Finland on Finnish Censorship Expanding · · Score: 1

    Any ideas on what we (Finnish geeks) should do? I've already educated my friends and family about the issue, but that's a total of two people out of six million. The word is out in the geek circles, but I'm afraid that just like Lex Karpela, this one will remain an issue only geeks care about. How do we make others care?
