  1. Re:One appeal left on Finnish Appeals Court Rules Breaking CSS Illegal · · Score: 1

    I don't think that Russia's prime minister Vladimir Putin has anything to do with Finland's court system.

  2. One appeal left on Finnish Appeals Court Rules Breaking CSS Illegal · · Score: 3, Informative

    The defendant can still appeal to the Finnish equivalent of Supreme Court.

  3. Thanks Firefox! on Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thanks to Firefox 3 betas I've managed *finally* to convert my wife to use FF. Only if I could get her using something other than Microsoft Live Messenger or get Messenger working with Wine I could get rid of our last WinXP installation.

  4. Flash-OFDM on Dealing With Dialup · · Score: 1

    In Finland you can get wireless internet using Flash-OFDM on 450 MHz band that was used with the first NMT cell phones. Speeds and latencies are supposed to be a lot better than with 3G and prices are relatively cheap: 1 Mbit/s for 40 euros.

  5. Re:The most important question on Hacking Canon Point-and-Shoot Cameras · · Score: 2, Informative

    I am currently porting CHDK to A430 which cost me around $100 when I bought it about a year ago.

  6. Re:Don't think of it as just Help Desk on Is Help Desk a Launchpad or a Dead End? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh crap, after reading the parent I think I was hired by IBM Global Services.

  7. Microsoft imitating Apple, perhaps? on Windows 7 in the Next Year? · · Score: 2, Funny

    With BSD backend, I guess the development could progress that quickly and that would explain breaking the ABI rumor that I've heard.

  8. Same here with Cygwin on SimCity Source Code Is Now Open · · Score: 1

    I actually managed it to start but it freezes the exact same way, gonna try with Cygwin's own Tcl/Tk implementation and try to get TclX building.

  9. Re:Win32 binary versions available? on SimCity Source Code Is Now Open · · Score: 1

    I am trying to get it compiling with Cygwin, it's a start at least. I am not sure if the version of tcl/tk included is compatible with Cygwin.

  10. Re:Where are the Cheetos? on Ask the Designers of D&D Fourth Edition · · Score: 1

    Oh man, that was the funniest thing I've seen for a while. And yes, it did hit home here as well.

  11. C-64 Ringtones on Commodore 64 Still Beloved After All These Years · · Score: 1

    I am using C-64 songs (Delta at the moment) as ringtones, thanks to Sidplay.

  12. Re:Diaper Changers on Alzheimer's Could Be a Third Form of Diabetes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Privatized healthcare without proper regulations and that's what you get. Healthcare should NOT be an industry governed by corporations trying to profit from the sick and the elderly. Patients and workers are number one, not investors.

  13. Re:You know what's great about Alzheimer's? on Alzheimer's Could Be a Third Form of Diabetes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, I am in a good position (or my patients are) so that I can change their diapers when needed. Normally I just take them to the bathroom so a diaper isn't actually needed, it is there just in case.

  14. Re:You know what's great about Alzheimer's? on Alzheimer's Could Be a Third Form of Diabetes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IAAMN (I am a male nurse) and I treat people with varying degrees of dementia (some caused by Alzheimer's) every day and I know how sad it is to see their condition degrading, which sometimes happens very rapidly. Your story about your grandmother is for me "just another day at work".

    Anyway, I just cannot get my mind wrapped around the idea of a nursing home where the staff doesn't even change patients diapers as it is a normal procedure for me with most of my patients, normally at least twice per shift. Is this normal in nursing homes in your country?

  15. WindizUpdate next? on Microsoft Forces Shutdown of Autopatcher · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So are they going to shut down WindizUpdate next as it is a lot more useful that Windowsupdate has ever been. Then again maybe the patches are downloaded from Microsoft's servers but I'm not sure.

  16. Re:Soap is for pussies on Anti-Bacterial Soap No Better Than Plain Soap · · Score: 1

    That's what I use every day at work to keep my hands clean (I'm a nurse): ethanol. Here's what inside one of them "ETHYL ALCOHOL, AQUA, GLYCERIN, TETRAHYDROXYPROPYL ETHYLENEDIAMINE, PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE, CARBOMER"

  17. To summarize the news on Bank on Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Mobile services in the United States are 10 years behind rest of the world.

  18. Re:That's all very well... on Pimp Your XP · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should try Vlite from the maker of Nlite. With Vlite you can remove unnecessary features from Vista and also integrate drivers, tweak settings etc. Notice that this only useful for a new installation of Vista as you making a whole new installation media.

  19. XBox 360 Media Center? on Microsoft Says PS3 Linux Not 'Competitive' To XNA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Would it be possible to start developing XB360MC with XNA and if it is does it cost anything?

  20. How to enable the Zune as an external drive on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: 2, Informative

  21. They are selling PowerDVD for Linux on Linspire Makes Click and Run Free · · Score: 1

    Finally I can get a legal solution for playing DVD's on Linux. I just hope that I can get it running with other distros than Linspire. http://www.linspire.com/lindows_products_details.p hp?product_id=25183&pg=specs

  22. Mirror the sysinternals.com site on Microsoft Acquires Winternals and Sysinternals · · Score: 1

    I started mirroring the sysinternals.com site with HTTrack as soon as I read about this.

  23. Re:I suggest the Ripley strategy on Army Sent to Fight Millions of Invading Toxic Toads · · Score: 1

    I don't know why, but your comment made me laugh so hard that my stomach hurts now. Thank You!

  24. I just bought a DI-624+ on D-Link Firmware Abuses Open NTP Servers · · Score: 3, Informative

    The DI-624+ is not on the list and it is possible to manually change the NTP server which the router uses.
