  1. Re:Sweden on Swedish Mathematician Lennart Carleson Wins Abel · · Score: 1
    It is Björn in swedish, Bjørn us norwegian

    It is "is" in English, "us" is Klingon, or something. ;-)

  2. Oh, but it's OK on Heads Roll As Microsoft Misses Vista Target · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...cause I hear Linux is out already.

  3. Re:Except at some negible points? on Swedish Mathematician Lennart Carleson Wins Abel · · Score: 1

    Ah, sounds like you're studying the thing. Reminds me of a course I took about one year ago (kinda analysis in a very abstract fashion) which involved things like this. One of the most exciting I ever took. :-) *feels the urge to learn more*

  4. Re:Except at some negible points? on Swedish Mathematician Lennart Carleson Wins Abel · · Score: 1

    I fail to see how the combination "dense" and "countable" (which I don't think is unintuitive, btw) suggests the existence of the combination "uncountable" and "zero-measure".

  5. The iMac mouse... on Some of the Strangest Computer Mice · · Score: 1

    ...is almost up there competing too, I'd say. Picture

  6. Re:Indeed on Swedish Mathematician Lennart Carleson Wins Abel · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I recall correctly: a continuous function from one space to another is a function such that the inverse images of open sets are open.>

    Yes, you do recall correctly! ;-) Your version is a more general one. In a metric space, where your parent's version is applicable, the two are equivalent. Sorry, I probably shouldn't tell you this, you certainly knew it already. However, someone else might be interested.

  7. His Fourier paper... on Swedish Mathematician Lennart Carleson Wins Abel · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...was published in the Swedish maths journal Acta Mathematica and is calles On the convergence and growth of partial sums of Fourier series.

  8. So you're teh chosen 1! on Software Developer Beats Pirate in Boxing Ring · · Score: 1
    Come to think of it, after seeing "Dance Monkey Boy," I see that his kung fu is quite strong. I doubt though that he could defend against my Iron Developer Technique!

    So you're the one he's chanting about: "Developer, developer, developer..."?

  9. Ballmer entering to f****** kill someone on Software Developer Beats Pirate in Boxing Ring · · Score: 3, Funny
    and perhaps a useful way to channel Steve Ballmer's aggression too

    Oh no, no chairs allowed in here, sir!

  10. Scramble well on 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten · · Score: 1
    Up to 60% of the code in the new consumer version of Microsoft new Vista operating system is set to be rewritten as the Company "scrambles" to fix internal problems

    Up to 60% of the code in the new consumer version of Microsoft new Vista operating system is set to be scrambled to make reverse engineering more difficult. I mean, you can obiously not be secure if someone knows about you source code.

    If really lucky, a Vista runner will also have even more than the six seconds other scamblejets have before crash.

  11. Continuous Partial Attention on Continuous Partial Attention · · Score: 0

    The summary didn't define "Continuous Partial Attention"!

  12. Whoa! Look guys! on Continuous Partial Attention · · Score: 5, Funny

    A whole Ebay just for Lego!

  13. Re:A lot less than meets the eye on Region-free PS3 · · Score: 1

    Europe will STILL have to have a separate set of games because they use PAL instead of NTSC anyway.

    Um, surely, that is a problem for the hardware. We were talking about the different games now, right? Or were we? I mean, it's not like I have read the article or anything.

    Btw, if they stick to greyscale, PAL and NTSC are practically the same. :-)

  14. Just a single text file on Solving the Home Library Problem? · · Score: 1

    With just a few thousand books I think a simple textfile might do. One paragraph per book. One line per data field (author, title, ...). Easy search in firefox with find-as-you-type.

  15. Re:Workrave on Preventing RSI? · · Score: 1

    Ah, I'm glad you understood it was a joke! ;-) I was afraid someone would have to point out to me that it doesn't work that fast.

  16. Re:Broadband: That's the ticket! on Democrats May Promise Broadband for All · · Score: 1

    basic healthcare for everyone

    You list a lot of good things. However, it's funny how _basic_ healthcare seems to be enough. Sure different to Sweden, for example, where I usually live. At least my experience is that they won't let you die on the street or in your home just because you can't pay for your operation or whatever you may need. Once again, that is as far as I know, I may not have the full picture. Now, when abroad completing my master's thesis, my university gave me an officialy issued insurance that basically says "spare no expenses" in case of a medical emergency. Nice!

    OK, that's a little rant about Sweden. I sounds sometimes like everything there is perfect. It's not not NOT! However, we have reason to be happy of what we have that apparently seems to be missing in other countries.

  17. Re:Workrave on Preventing RSI? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have workrave running on my computer. It's great!

    I tend to be sceptical when people recommend some program enthusiastically. I followed your advice, however, and it really is great! I immediately feel better!

  18. Switched off on UK Demands Sourcecode for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    They could be switched off with just hardware too.

  19. [hurrah|hooray] on PS3 - Lateness With Linux? · · Score: 0

    Btw, what kind of lame lameness filter is it Slashdot has that won't let you post a comment with a subject line only! I clearly have nothing more to say here.

  20. Problem for Schrödinger on RFID & Viral Vulnerability · · Score: 3, Funny

    When he opens his box and finds that the poison is not let out, but the cat is still not alive (um, probably "dead anyway", to avoid unnecessary confusion in this matter (i.e., it won't suddenly "quantum wake up")) after having catched a RFID virus.

  21. I won't believe it... on WinXP on a Mac, Hoax? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...until we have a man on the moon.

  23. For free? on Will Novell's Desktop Linux Catch On? · · Score: 2, Insightful
