  1. Re:Similarities, but not quite to Intel's Pentium on NetBSD Announces Logo Design Competition · · Score: 1

    NetBSD, is an entity that transact with people all over the world.

    Nono - BSD is dead you know - noone actually uses it... ;)

    (If you dont understand ironi, ignore this message...)

  2. Re:Java Performing worse then C on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    If speed is their only concern, then ask them why they dont use hand optimized assembler... :)

  3. Re:For the history books on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is, imho, one big flaw in your argument.

    All these wars have started when we have colonized INHABITED lands.

    Or did I miss the big Antarctian war? (Unfortunatly its hard to find other good exambles of colonizing of uninhabited lands - but I hope you understand my point anyway! :))

  4. Re:Circumvention of encryption legal now? on DVD-Jon Completely Clear · · Score: 1

    The thing is - I find it hard to believe a judge in any scandinavian country would ever convict someone of something like this.

    Yes, it may be against the law, but it would cause a public uproar if anyone here was convicted for this - and the convicted would get a symbolic punishment.

    Furthermore it would give insane amounts of bad publicity for the media industry.

    So tbh - even though we have implemented Infosec in danish law(with the note that it will always be legal to break encryption to gain compability), I dont think we will ever have to fear laws as they are in the US...

    But again, I'm generally an optimistic person!

  5. Re:Norway on DVD-Jon Completely Clear · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well - you know they have prizewinning fjords there... :)

  6. Re:Spammers don't use their own computers on Microsoft Researching Anti-Spam Technique · · Score: 1

    But this would then slow the infected computers to a crawl, and when people cant user their computers anymore, I assure you they will start to think a bit more about basic security.

    So it will still help - even when you have 1000 computers to spam from!

  7. Re:ultrasonic on Piezoelectric Transformers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well - me reading slashdot havent driven my cat nuts yet - and slashdot definately creates a high pitched whine once in a while...

  8. Re:Lets clear away some myths and FUD on Microsoft FAT Licensing Plan - No Big Deal? · · Score: 1

    Ohhh... NOW it makes sense - I thought it were something we got of the land...

  9. Re:who cares about ie blocking popups, still insec on Microsoft Releases Changelist for Upcoming XP SP2 · · Score: 1

    So there you go. Now the whole site is unusable unless the user disables pop-up protection

    And hence will not be used - profit lost... :)

    Not really rocket science tbh... :)

  10. Re:Project Planning Fantasy on Living on Mars Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    Or even better - this means they can stay in bed those 30 minutes we all want to when its time to get up...

  11. Re:See no evil, hear no evil... on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 1

    He argued that Soviet communism had failed, precisely because it did not respect its own people -- their creativity, their genius and their rights.

    Does this mean that we will be ridden of the US within the next 10 years then?

    Because with the current transferring of power from the people to the corperations, I see little respect for the PEOPLE... :)

  12. Re:Cool state on Virginia Arrests Man For Spamming · · Score: 1

    You misunderstand them - I believe the poice officer is a little girl called Virginia...

  13. Re:[RFID] Late night on slashdot and the nightmare on WSIS Physical Security Cracked · · Score: 1

    The difference is that a RFID reader is much cheaper than a videocamara + a system that enables it to actually read a dirty license plate.

    And since it is cheaper, it will be more easy to setup more places.

    And why stop at tires - what if(when?) it gets integrated in clothes?

    (Not that I think it will happen where I live - just trying to make a point!)

  14. Re:Leave SCO alone you communists. on More Damning SCO Evidence At Groklaw · · Score: 1

    Or more importantly - live in countries where bullshit isnt accepted!

    That no US kernel maintainer has sued SCO is a clear indication, in my eyes, that the REAL problem here isnt SCO, but the US legal system! :o/

  15. Re:30,000 km/s can do a lot of damage on ISS Fender Bender · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except that the body in Armageddon didnt move with 30000 km/h compared to the shuttle, as it had fallen out of a spaceship with the same speed and direction of the first craft

  16. Re:Now you can have those 64 CPUs on Linux 2.6.0 Expected In Mid-December · · Score: 1

    Well - just include in the license that it may not be distributed in the US... ;o)

  17. Re:Wha? on China Outlines Moon Project Goals · · Score: 1

    But it shouldnt be too far away - the US needed 8 years from first man in space to first man on the moon.

    If they are REALLY serious, they should be able to do it in less than 5 - after all, we did learn a thing or 2 since back then... :)

  18. Re:Time for change... on Intel: Metal in Future Chips = Less Leakage (updated) · · Score: 1

    Ah well - with the downturn in the IT industry, we could just rename Silicon Valley to Nickel Valley... ;o)

  19. Re:Discussion summary on New X Proposal on Freedesktop.org · · Score: 1

    Did you rtfa?

    Noone whines about anything, but there is talk about an extension that makes sense AND does not ruin network transparency...

    You seem to be the only one dragging old arguments out of the closet, and why that is interesting, I fail to see! :o/

  20. Re:No room for that when Cho and Moby are predicti on Ideas Unlimited: 11 Suggestions for New Inventions · · Score: 1

    And people dying from exhaustion because they dont register the dangersignals from their body that an undrugged person would, isnt good enough reason?

    People being violent to other random people is also a bad reason?(Not the case in all drugs though)

    Having a negative effect on learning is a bad reason as well?

    In a 100% liberal(anarchistic) society, I could follow your point, but only extremists believes in that! :o)

  21. Re:Sports? on Attempting To Create A Gaming Canon · · Score: 1

    And maybe consider that there is a world outside the US?

    FIFA 200x, Sensible soccer - just to take a new and an old "classic"

    I believe there are quite alot more people that play football compared to american football(or soccer and football if you prefer that! ;o))

  22. Re:IM now ... Mono Later ?? on MSN Messenger Kickbans Third-Party IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Why not let people pay for the service then?

    And let me answer that myself:

    Because that would prohibit them from using their monopoly on the desktop market to gain any marketshare in the IM market.

    People should pay for the products they use - no more, no less.

    As long as you try to abuse a dominant position like this, you will have people "leeching" on your network.

    TBH - I fail to see the problem...

  23. Miranda on MSN Messenger Kickbans Third-Party IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Miranda works fine - actually I could only log on to MSN this morning - ICQ didnt work! :D

  24. Re:because MMOGs are persistent on Planned Obsolescence and MMORPGs · · Score: 1

    Hmm - I have a hard time to see how it would work in realtime with a game like Everquest(Just so we have an example)

    Do you know if anyone have written a paper and tried it IRL? Could be fun to read something from people that actually tried it! :)

    But I kind of like the idea - but I am not really convinced it would work as long as most players dont have 10 ms lag...

  25. Re:voting on Planned Obsolescence and MMORPGs · · Score: 1

    But would it be practical? :)

    Would it work in a realtime environment?
