  1. Re:A threesome with your girlfriend on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 1

    I find it revealing that the parent is now at score 4, interesting. With all this valentines talk I forgot that I was reading /.

  2. Re:Hah! on Microsoft Advises to Type in URLs Rather than Click · · Score: 1
    Yes, Yes. Opera has this and that. It's really nice, but I prefer Mozilla still. One of the major reasons is that it is free (in every sense) and much more customizable than Opera. Check out MozDev, and find the stuff you want in a browser, or make something yourself. Peronsally I recommend Enigmail for OpenPGP handling, Converter, ConQuery, Smoothwheel and Autoscroll.

    And for your google search, skip that 'g' and just type away in the addressbar, if it is not a known protocol it searches. Or if you prefer to have domain guessing you can always assign that g to google, og an 'a' for altavista or allthewen, whatever you desire. You can assign keywords to any site, just like mentioned in parent about Opera.

    Only thing I miss is the possibillity to choose content-transfer-encoding per account or per message.

  3. Re:You win, don't pay on "DVD-Jon" Demands Compensation · · Score: 1

    IIRC, how much the loser pays varies. The most common thing in Norway, I believe, is that you have to pay the winner the same amount as you spent on your own defence. It is up to the court to decide how much, at least.

    Mitnick: I *really* need to use the bathroom! Feds: Nope, no Internet for you!

  5. Men in Black on What Was the Very First MP3 You Downloaded? · · Score: 1

    Heard it in a local computer store. Was amazed by it, to say the least. Rushed home and found Winamp and "Men in Black" instantly. Having a P75, though, meant that I could not do anything else while listening.

  6. Re:good idea but.. on Japan Introduces Consumer-Paid Computer Recycling · · Score: 1

    That's why you pre-pay it. So when you want to scrap it, it doesn't cost you anything.

  7. In Norway.. on Japan Introduces Consumer-Paid Computer Recycling · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We have paid such a fee for all electrical appliances the past few years. If your TV is to be scrapped, you just have to go to a shop that sells TVs and give it to them. You don't have to buy anything there, and you don't even need to have bought it there in the first place. Buy anywhere, return anywhere. The fee is much smaller, approx $10.

    However, one thing still bothers me. Apparently, it is O.K to spend cash like water, rip of your creditors and declare bankruptcy, and then just do a little paperwork and carry on as before? These people have no shame, and the "volunteers" who continue to support these shucksters are fools for trusting a bunch of people who are demonstrated themselves to be crooks. The Government should investigate this immediatly, and freeze the assests of this so-called "new" company until the previous creditors have been paid off in full. Personally I feel it is high time we brough back debtors prison for amoralistic scam artists such as these.

    If you are referring to Trustix and TSL you are wrong. TSL was one of the products Trustix had (they had so many they went bankrupt). Only the two main men behind the Linux distribution went on to form a new company to support the distro they developed. It is not 'same shit, new wrapping', it is a completely new company with no other relation to Trustix than that they were emplyed there at one point.
