  1. Re:Why is this important to us? on Classic Math Puzzle Cracked · · Score: 0, Troll

    You're wrong.

    You cannot decompress that stream since if you compress
    0011 you get 01
    Please tell me how you distinguish that from just having compressed 01.

    Now add length coding so you know the resulting length then you can decompress the earlier example but not:

    010011
    0101

    There are two options, both equally probable.

    Compressing something isn't difficult, but if you want it to be able to decompress then you have to think of something more clever.

    Read a basic book on information theory and compression.

  2. Re:M249 on Military Robots Get Machine Guns · · Score: 1

    6.8kg? that's nothing for a GPMG!
    The swedish gpmg weights in at 15! (We'll it did when I did military service (99), might have changed now)

    An ordinary assault rifle weights somewhere around 4-5kg.

    Also, ammo weights alot more than 6.8kg.

  3. Re:RFI sorted by Network Type on Build Your Own Bluetooth Hearing Aid · · Score: 1

    Actually GSM is a hybrid (don't know anything about the american systems) it uses both CDMA and TDMA.

  4. Re:Distances, people!!! on NetBSD Sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record · · Score: 1

    Funny that you write Vasteras and Gavle (which in swedish are Västerås and Gävle) but Luleå.

  5. Oh my god.. on Summer Is Coming; Will Your Mousing Hand Survive? · · Score: 1

    Oh my god.. This is the .. third time this is posted?

    The original article was posted in 14.06.2003..

  6. Re:Think of it as version 26 on Linux Kernel 2.6.4 Released · · Score: 1

    So this should be the unlucky 13th version if you don't count development versions?

  7. This is so old on Clammy Modding · · Score: 1

    Ehm.. The mouse mod is from 2001 but the blowpad is only about a month old...

    I know it's summer but come on! The lack of news can't possibly make slashdot restort to things like this.. or... oh well...

    As long as it is'nt posted three times.

  8. Re:DMCA on Sweden To Outlaw File Sharing, Crypto Breaking? · · Score: 1

    *ahem*

    We don't have a real constitution. We have something similar but not a constitution.

  9. Re:Could you elaborate? on Linux Network Administrator's Guide, 2nd Edition · · Score: 1

    Think about this:

    Linux running windows.
    Linux running AIX.

    Linux running BSD is the same thing.
    That's why packaging is going to be the least of your problem and still a potential nightmare.

  10. The leftovers from Iraq on Bombing the Moon for Water · · Score: 1

    So that's what they're going to do with the left overs from Iraq that never got the chance...

    Good thinking, or perhaps we should save them for North Korea or Syria.. or what the hell bomb
    'em all.

  11. Samplerate... on Professional-Grade Audio Recording With A PDA · · Score: 1

    Why sample at 192kHz?
    It's not like you're going to hear tones above 20kHz anyway...

    And by the way storing it uncompressed on your 128mb disk gives you a recording time of 220s

  12. Re:moljnir! on Build Your Own Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    In swedish it's Mjölnir.

  13. Money on Red Hat Asks for UCITA Reversal · · Score: 1

    Now let's see.
    How much did Red Hat donate to our last campaign?
    Nothing, I see. And how much did Microsoft give us?

    Oh.. Nice number, like it. Put their mail in the trash nothing that's going to threaten my campaign budget is going be released from my office.

  14. Re:I'm still waiting for ANY response to this. . . on Red Hat Asks for UCITA Reversal · · Score: 1

    How about capitalizing the first letter in your sentences?

  15. Re:TeX on Knuth Releases Another Part of Volume 4 · · Score: 1

    Well.. Since PI has an infinite number of decimals, we would never reach that number..

  16. Why? on A Web Browser in Your BIOS? · · Score: 1

    Why would I want to surf the web from my BIOS?
    That's like having an engine placed on a bike, oh.. they did that already and called it a motorcycle ..

  17. Re:So Lets See on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 1

    Not at all.. Use Swat for a nice little webinterface if you prefer that..

  18. Re:Laws on News Media Scammed by 'Free Energy' Hoax · · Score: 1

    Newtons third law isn't proven and probably can't be proven although everything we know indicates that it's true.

  19. Remebering the courses on 10GHz Processors and Ultraviolet Lithography · · Score: 1

    One on the questions on my physics test last year was about UV litography (since a swedish company is developing parts for it). Any way it increases the amount of circuits on the same area with a factor of about 400.
