  1. Re:You know... on Oregon Woman Sues Yahoo for $3 Million · · Score: 1

    And you might want to learn more about cofee. If you go to any decent european cafe you'll notice the coffee is served at aproximately 90 Celsius, which equals about 194 Fahrenheit, I suppose. And it's not by accident.

  2. Re:renewable energy sources on Wave Powered Generator to Power Homes · · Score: 1

    so, i find it aprticulair interesting that a country like portughal pioneers in those steps

    I'd find it too if it was true. But we're not even pioneering the renewable energy development in our own country, we just happen to be the country chosen by a Scottish company. Ahhh such a great country I live in.

  3. Fenix on An Open Source Alternative to Blackboard? · · Score: 3, Informative

    My university develops and uses it's own open source system, Fenix. It's actually quite cool, and handles much much more than that, including course applications, classes management, timetables, exams and workgroups management, etc. I'm just not sure if it's fully available in english. At least the site seems to be.

  4. Re:i can only imagine the search terms on Feds Fund Anti-Terrorism Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Completely agreed, it was all because of the WMDs. Really. Oh and that mean man who was treating them wrong.

  5. Re:Human brain? on The Chimera Dilemma Manifested in Sheep · · Score: 1

    We already have George W. Bush... Oh wait, he's an human with sheep intelligence. Sorry then.

  6. Re:Further correction on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    Not really, he made a completely fair correction pointing out that that's only the US army side of the story, and not a given fact. Suppose you were an innocent suspect of a crime. Would you like to be a killer, according to someone who allegedly saw it or to be be just "a killer". Thought so.

  7. Re:Because of a lack of understanding on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: 1

    Look at the article. Wonder why the speed reference comes first?

  8. Re:All trolls! on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: 1

    I always thought a requirement to be classified as "news" was it's impartiality.

  9. Re:So let me get it straight on Nikon Responds to Encryption Claims · · Score: 1

    Of course it is. If you are in a level where you really need RAW rest assured that you know how, when and with what you can read it. Otherwise just stick to another format. See, easy!

  10. President only? on Saving Lives with Design · · Score: 2, Funny

    No matter how you present it, he won't know how to read it anyway, so what's the point? If you really really but really want him to do it, you can try turning it upside down and placing it inside "My Pet Goat", but results are not guaranteed.

  11. Re:Wait for the PPC on A 2nd Core to Keep Windows Chugging Along? · · Score: 1

    That's just because slower was impossible.

  12. Yes yes... on What Will We Do With Innocent People's DNA? · · Score: 1

    You'd better worry, someonw might clone your friend. Let the damn record be, that way if he commits a sexual offense in the future he might be caught.

  13. Re:In this case i believe on Linuxense Break-in Challenge Over · · Score: 1
    And, quoting from the FAQ
    This is how nmap would report if you run it against a server which is under (D)DoS attack (the Challenge server was overwhelmed by port scans, brute-force attacks, etc. most of the time).
    That makes it yet a little harder.
  14. Re:Freeform! on Address Formatting for International Mailing? · · Score: 1

    I agree it is the best way, but are you certain everyone would write a complete address? I suspect a lot of them would forget the postcode, some others would forget the city, etc...

  15. Re:IBM? on Clash of the GPL and Other IP Agreements? · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry I can't moderate but I have to tell you, that was funny :P

  16. IBM? on Clash of the GPL and Other IP Agreements? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If we're talking about IBM sources, try talking to them about it, maybe they'll be interested.

  17. Re:Weird Arbitrary Requirements on Building a Simple Streaming Media Server? · · Score: 1

    Usually when someone says they're looking for something free they aren't looking to buy "an old Pentium II"

  18. Re:And? on Can India Become A Knowledge Superpower? · · Score: 1

    You're right but look at it this way. Taking the recent tsunami as an example, you can develop a tsunami warning system for $30.000 or $30.000.000. That doesn't necessarily imply that the later is better. Throwing money at the problems doesn't solve them unless it is well spent.

  19. And? on Can India Become A Knowledge Superpower? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    The US R&D expenditure is bigger than the next five countries put together, and India is nowhere in the picture.
    Money != Brains.

    It does seem that Money = Arrogance though.
  20. FSGuide on Open Source Web-Based File Management? · · Score: 1
    I've installed FSGuide for a similar problem. It ain't perfect, far from it, but it was the best I could find at the time.

    From the site:
    FSGuide is a Norton Commander-clone for the web, which might be useful when you do not have shell access to your server, but want to perform various file operations. As a hosting provider, you can even give this tool to your hosting users, so they can access and modify their files through FSGuide - or you can use it yourself as a system administration tool.
  21. Re:Let's get something straight here. on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1
    It seems to me very few of you have actually been to China or even understand how the system there works. For the same reason why Europeans think we're a country of hicks driving around in a pickup with shotguns who elected a idiot to office is why you think the Chinese is some sort of omni-present superpower that oversees all of the minute details of its citizens' lives and takes sadistic pleasure in torture.
    I've been to both China and the US, and I can attest the "elected an idiot to office" part.
  22. Re:Europe? on Using Wikis in Hospitals? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I have a friend who lives on Earth. Fascinating isn't it?

    Course you can but if you live outside the US you surely noticed how annoying it is that it's always "Europe". It's like Europe is a different universe or something. It's not by the way, and it's made of entirely different countries, with few things in common.

  23. Europe? on Using Wikis in Hospitals? · · Score: 1

    Has it ever occurred to anyone that "Europe" is not a country?

  24. Re:It's not an anomalie on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    You're aparently the only one who thinks it was offtopic, judging by the people with moderating points at least.

    As I said it wasn't a troll nor a flame, it was the most peaceful reply I could write to such a stupid post.

    TO be US-arrogant is to be arrogant in the traditional US way. You'd know what I mean if you weren't american, and I hope you don't really think it is an hyperbole. Oh and thank you for the link, I might not have known what it was otherwise, after all I'm not american..

    Now I'm not continuing this stupid argument. Do as you like, believe what you want. I don't care, I'll just be sitting here waiting for the next WTC, and laughing when it happens. (Now this you can call a flame, but it is also the truth)

  25. Re:It's not an anomalie on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    It wasn't a flame. I made a simple comment about the eastern european countries, without even mentioning the US. You chose to be US-arrogant, got the reply you deserved. Ever thought why the whole world hates the US? It's not because you're the greatest or because they're jealous or even because of Iraq. It's because you're arrogant, so try to work on that. And if you don't believe me, you should reconnect to reality.
