  1. Re:Obivous Answer on "Logan's Run" Syndrome In Programming · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'd consider getting a managing position as being demoted.

  2. Re:Not fun anymore on After Sweden's New Law, a Major Drop In Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    I use torrents for: - TV-shows - Music that is not available for digital purchase in my country - Legal stuff (OS images etc.) Movies are no good anyway, and Spotify covers my music needs for the most part. (I too, am Swedish)

  3. Re:App Installation on Living Free With Linux, Round 2 · · Score: 1

    There should be a simple way to add a ppa from launchpad, without manually copy/pasting urls and downloading the key. That would fix most problems with getting bleeding edge software.

  4. JavaScript isn't everything on Minefield Shows the (Really) Fast Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    When are we going to see improvements in rendering speed and DOM manipulation?

  5. Re:First post on Steve Wozniak Predicts Death of the IPod · · Score: 1

    Well, nothing sucks like an Electrolux! http://commercial-archive.com/node/139238

  6. Re:Zenburn on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    My cheapo LCD (which only has analogue input) is not happy with Zenburn. That mid-grey range is all nervous and jittery on it.

  7. Re:come on, let's face it on ThePirateBay.org Raided and Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Well, not quite. Volvo Car Corporation is owned by Ford, but the trucks and jet engines are done by Volvo AB which is Swedish. Same goes for SAAB, it's only the car manufacturer that is owned by GM. The SAAB that makes fighter aircraft is Swedish.

  8. bah! on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 1

    I have optic fibre directly into my apartment from LABS2 for 245 SEK (roughly £16) per month. It's supposed to be 10Mbit/s in both directions, but they don't seem to cap the incoming speed so I routinely get upwards of 20Mbit/s. No DL cap either. Only trouble is diskspace when a couple of gigs per hour come down the line... This is cheap even for Sweden, but not the cheapest. LABS2 offer approx. the same service for 125SEK (£8) per month in other cities.

  9. Re:Long way to go. on Lit Window Library 0.3 released · · Score: 1
    I worked at a company which had a very C++-like scripting language with added UI elements. This meant you could write stuff like this:
    STRING c = "Title"
    class FOO {
    public:
    FOO(STRING a, INT b, DOUBLE c, FLAG f) : a(a), b(b), c(c), f(f) {}
    STRING a;
    INT b;
    DOUBLE c;
    FLAG f;
    };
    window (caption=c) {
    // A button that changes the caption of the window
    button (caption="Foo", icon="foo.ico") {
    c = "New Title"; // changes caption of window
    };
    vector<FOO> test;
    test.push_back(FOO("list 1", 1, 1.0, TRUE));
    test.push_back(FOO("list 2", 2, 2.0, FALSE));
    test.push_back(FOO("list 3", 3, 3.0, TRUE));
    // A multi-column listbox
    listbox(test) {
    toggle(test[row].f);
    enter(test[row].a); // in place editable
    show(test[row].b);
    enter(test[row].c); // in place editable, and checks DOUBLE format
    };
    // Also weird stuff like this
    // Which in this case gives you three buttons
    for (UINT i = 0; i < test.size(); ++i) {
    button (caption=test[i].a) {
    test[i].b++;
    }, // comma means put the next widget besides as opposed to below as implied by semicolon
    }
    }
    All of this also was automagically resizable with splitters between EVERYTHING that could resize..
    (ok, why does the ecode element remove all my spaces and tabs?)
  10. Dreamhack on Anatomy of a LAN Party? · · Score: 1
