  1. Re:iPod Cell Phone? on Major Hangups Over the iPod Phone · · Score: 1

    Nokia has a weird phone that works in a manner a bit like that. It's a bit bigger than a lipstick, and numbers/letters are scrolled onto the screen using some sort of joystick. Only saw an early model of this phone at a convention so I dont know if its still on the market. Looked sassy at first, but failed with the impossible to use interface.

  2. Settlements on European Piracy Crackdowns · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Danish version of the Swedish anti-piracy organization is funded by the settlements, and money from the industry. Absolutely none of the money from the settlements will ever reach the artists.

  3. Do as we do in Europe: on Attempt to Apply Decency Standards to Cable/Satellite Television · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Transmit the sattelite TV from another country. Easy-peasy, no problem.

  4. Re:Other games I hold responsible on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if kids in the had taken damage from playing all that Pac Mac, we would se lots of people going around dark rooms, eating pills all the time. Oh wait....

  5. Re:Thank God China is doing the necessary research on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 1

    Seriously how do you think Uranium is processed? From tons and tons and tons of rock. This is a very energy consuming process, and while it may still be better than solar and wind, it is still not an all-out solution. Uranium does not last forever, just as oil does not last forever. Lets not start making the chinese pee into our pants just to keep ourselves warm.

  6. Adress on Best Wireless SSIDs You Have Seen? · · Score: 1

    Alot of people around here name their network after their adress! I am not kidding, its fucking hilarious, I wonder where I can get a good connection? Number 23 you say? Then I'll drive just 200 meters down the road, thank you....

  7. The worst thing I heard of... on FBI Warns: Many Tsunami Relief Pleas Are Fake · · Score: 5, Informative

    Happened in Sweden (or maybe Britain). When the lists of missing persons was release, some people cross-referenced it to the list in the phone-book. Then they went out and fsking robbed the houses of the mising persons!

  8. Re:1984? on China Closes 1,129 Web Sites · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Exchange that with "Homeland Security" and I think you will get the picture....

  9. Re:I'd love to see a breakdown of the damages on 6-Month Sentence for NASA Cracker · · Score: 1

    "Pretty tough sentence on a CS major" Why does his education have anything to do with the sentence?

  10. Landmine plant on The Year In Ideas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Saw a Danish documentary on those landmine detecting plants. Funny enough they used the dehydrated water to "water" their plants. It was due to the seeds being so small that they could be carried away by the wind. On a different note, it seems as if the guys that developed the plants are having a hard time in getting the right clearances, some english chap that was in the documentary, working for the team as an observer, and link to the African country's government, ended up trying to wreck the whole projekt because he was afraid of genetically engineered plants.........(Note to guy, if your country is chock full of landmines, a few extra plants is not going to ruin your day)

  11. Home Alone? on Robbers Scared by GTA · · Score: 5, Funny

    This sounds abit too much like something from the film "Home Alone" doesn't it?

  12. Re:Memory Footprint on Mozilla Thunderbird Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    It goes fast enough here, have you removed spyware lately ? :)

  13. Length on Offshoring IT · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "The book is not very long -- just five chapters -" Since when was a book's length defined by it's numer of chapters?

  14. Re:TV2 report on Firefox News Roundup · · Score: 1

    And, at another informative note, the largest television channel is not TV2, it is the government owned: "Danmarks Radio" which tranlates to "Denmarks Radio".

  15. Re:Spam equivalent to rape? on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 0

    1.) You probably do that on top of jail 2.) You are in the US, noone wants to hurt a corporation 3.) You are not in Iran ;)

  16. Re:Contribute to ridiclulous levels of spam on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1, Funny

    Five words for you: "Three strikes, you are out." (Californian I believe) Any state that adopts judicial practices from a sport, needs to be severely looked after.

  17. Re:When you can serve longer for spamming on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1

    This is something that comes up on a regular basis, but you cannot always compare these to each other. Rape and dangerous driving are seldomly planned and thought of, unlike economical crime which is downright cold. There needs to be harsh punishment, but 9 years is just too much.

  18. Re:kyoto is not good for the US on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Are you saying that every other country, except the US ia a deveolping country? ....and how hard can it be to save a little on the CO2? Insulate your houses, be more energy effecient, but I guess Kyoto does give Exxonn-mobile and friends a hard time, so no wonder he' against it.

  19. Re:ofcourse it will be secure. on Semper WiFi · · Score: 1

    Uhmm, wasnt the point that it was to be privately funded?

  20. Re:Enlighten me... on Canadian Arrow Completes Drop Test · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, but correct me if I am wrong... The people participating are doing it for a variety of other reason such as publicity, or just something to do in their spare time, with their spare money? John Carmack is said to use something like 60hours a week on Armadillo, and I doubt it that he is doing it to win 10million.

  21. Tintin? on Canadian Arrow Completes Drop Test · · Score: 4, Informative

    Incredible how much that arrow looks like a smaller scale model of the rocket used in the comicbook about Tintin from the French cartoonist Hergé.

  22. Re:Insights on Inside Al-Qaeda's Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    I have never said that, I don't support the killing of anyone. You sir, are playing the typical game of journalists "Oh, he disklike Israel, therefore he must clearly be anti-semitic and against all jews". I was just saying that it cannot be a surprise to ANYONE that there was going to be some sort of fighting when a middle eastern country is being invaded and a new country formed inside. Especially when the country is suddenly too small and it starts possesing new territories around it (Golan et. al).

  23. Re:Insights on Inside Al-Qaeda's Hard Drive · · Score: 1, Interesting

    "Make no mistake about it. If we hadn't been supporting Israel for the last two generations the neighboring Muslims would have killed every single Jew there" If you hadn't supported Israel IT WOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED AT ALL, and noone would have been hurt.

  24. Re:Ironic when you consider the ethos of the origi on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1

    Yes but this was before the age where eating drugs till your heart is the size of your head was possible.

  25. Sure... on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ..undetectable, just like EPO was back in the day.
