  1. Re:Enough already on Activision's GUN Misfires With Native Americans · · Score: 1

    What, you mean like Wolfenstein 3D, or any Indiana Jones game?

  2. Further details on the Doomsday Vault on Norway to Build Doomsday Seed Bank · · Score: 5, Informative

    More elaborate article on this can be found at NewScientist.com. Some sketches (2) over the vault available on the online Norwegian newspaper TV2 Nettavisen.

    Also, I'm a bit disappointed that BBC missed out on the whole "security-details provided by roaming polar bears"-thing.

  3. Re:It Would Be Nice... on JavaScript Inventor Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    The opensource ultima online server UOX3 used SpiderMonkey (Mozilla's javascript engine) to handle server-side scripting.

    It still does:

  4. Re:Compared to Norway? on Net Addiction Gets Finnish Soldiers Out Of Army · · Score: 1

    Huh? I(from Norway) completed my civilian service in March this year, after 13 months of "duty" at a local school. Originally it was 14 months, but the service period was recently reduced by a month.

    Where'd you get 18 months from?

  5. Re:A shock to Opera?! on Nokia Invested In Mozilla? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ehm. They're not from the same country. Nokia is from Finland, Opera is from Norway. Now, while both Norway and Finland are part of "Scandinavia", to suggest it's the same country is stretching it a bit far.

  6. Re:Anti-Nuke on Original Godzilla In U.S. Theaters · · Score: 1

    "Oh good - if we die tomorrow from a North Vietnamese nuclear bomb, no worries. The Americans will revenge us. Huzzah!" I don't think the issue is whether or not someone will retaliate against North Vietnam for nuking Japan - but whether or not North Vietnam would nuke Japan at all if Japan had/have their "nuclear deterrent".

  7. Cheezepopper.. on Cross-platform, Easy-to-Use Local LAN Chat? · · Score: 1

    Not iChat related, nor cross-platform, but... On my neighbourhood-LAN(includes coax, tp & wireless heh..) we use Cheezepopper. It's not fancy, it's not filled with dozens of cool features - but it does list all computers on the LAN and allow you to send messages either directly to said computers or to the domain/workgroup they're on.

    A potentially hazardous (to your own health) program for big LAN-parties where lots of people have neglected to turn off their Messenger-service in Windows before booting up Counter-Strike for the compo-finals, but generally a decent program which behaves most of the time, and a great replacement for Windows' built-in messenger service in any case. ;P

  8. Re:Regrettable omission: Commodore 64 on History Of Video Game Music Explored · · Score: 1

    Ocean Loader by Martin Galway comes to mind.

  9. Re:Some experience on MMO Gaming - Virtually Too Real? · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting that thieves and murderers don't "respawn"? Killing a thief gives him a 2-minute break as he awaits the loss of his criminal flag by the healer's hut. Killing a murderer might put him away for a short while but he'll be back before you can say "Kal Ort Por".
