  1. New Government in Sep. Anyway on Norway Considers New Copyright Laws · · Score: 1
    The polls indicate that this Norwegian government is out by the end of the year anyway.
    With the Conservatives now at 18.7 percent and the Kr.F at 8.0 percent, the alliance would not even have a parliamentary advantage against the red-green alliance with the assistance of the populist Progress Party, currently the second most popular party with 19 percent support.

    It's really sad when conservatives complain as if they are some kind of oppresed group. I bet you think you're a regular Nelson Mandela fighting to make sure that people don't need to see jokes that ridicule our fearless leader.

    I didn't know that criticism was disrespectful. I guess you'd rather live in a country where Dear Leader was lauded at every opportunity.

    I get the impression that it was a deliberate misspelling. I wonder who that makes the retard.

    Please, rate up. I'm tired of the Bushies on this site hoarding their mod points so they can rate down anything critical of Bush.

  12. Steep Discounts on Microsoft Eyes PeopleSoft Customers · · Score: 1

    This is classic Microsoft strategy. Use the monopoly revenues from Windows and Office to dump other products at a loss until they get enough market share that the new products are self-supporting. They probably figure that it's worth a try.

    I'm at 3mbps (in the US) and I can't see what I would do with more bandwidth that I can't do now. That might change in the future though.

    IANAIL, but I assume that the international laws are agreements which constrain what governments can punish people for writing.

    That's not the issue though. Nobody is defending the PKK. The question is whether organizing the categories of links on a web directory make someone a criminal. Putting H. Ertas in prison for 10 months for organizing categories of links on a website isn't right and it doesn't help fight terrorism.

    Does anyone want a Windows Supercomputer anyway? Does Microsoft really think they have a chance in this sector considering how entrenched *nix is?

    There aren't any spyware concerns. The business model for Skype is based on charging for Skype-to-POTS calls not on spyware like Kazaa. There are always security concerns when you run any network software, but I haven't heard of any exploits.

    The 10 meter range of Bluetooth isn't going to work too well in most houses or workplaces though. These cordless phones have a 50-300 meter range.

    You had two mysterious charges on your credit card for $32.34 and you didn't think to type "skype" into Google? Instead you decided to wait until you ran across an article on slashdot to find out?
