  1. What a crap on A Requiem For Saab · · Score: 1

    The fact that after 341 replys I found no matches for "saabists" or "homos" or "cheapshots" tells its grim tale. From a Finnish perspective, totally objective! SAAB cost more than Datsuns and other japs in the early 80s in Finland. They were bought by homos with attitude problems, who could not afford a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz. So they assholed their merry way around our highways, feeling superior, driving their gay swedish abominations. Owning a SAAB mean "I HAVE MONEY" or "LOOK HONEY; I DRIVE LIKE A DRUNKEN GAY TURKEY", usually both. Fuck you, SAAB, and good riddance. SAAB did one interesting post-war jet fighter, the Tunnan (wikipedia for it). SAAB dying is an end of an era - twilight of a socialdemocratic nation.

  2. 9mm para has about 450-550 joules on The Jet Fighter Laser Cannon · · Score: 1
    A typical 9mm pistol using a typical 9mm cartridge can achieve kinetic bullet energies in the 500J ballpark.

    More than that requires overpressure variants (P+, +P+) or lighter-than-normal bullets.

    P+/+P+ loads impose more wear and tear on the frame/slide, so I say using them is madness. Many use these in IPSC to achieve greater "power factor."

  3. Re:NTFS on Which Filesystem Do You Use On Portable Media For Linux Systems? · · Score: 1
    I use NTFS - and I use Mac and Linux 99% of the time.

    ntfs-3g comes bundled with ubuntu, and ntfs-3g installer for mac nowadays comes with macFUSE and works fine.

    My only gripes with mac+ntfs is that either macbooks USB ports are slow crap OR mac version of ntfs-3g is much slower than its linux equivalent.

  4. Basic is there. Just reset the emulator. on C64 Emulator Finally Approved For iPhone · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Go to "extra" keyboard and hit reset. Voila, BASIC.
    And it sucks. And it's from Microsoft. OMG C64 was evil ;-( :-)

    Microsoft's greatest blunder in their early years was to license BASIC to Tramiel's Commodore with a once-ever fee of, some say, as little as $50000. C= then sold tens of millions of machines without paying any more to M$.

    Well, M$ learned. C= died.

  5. read Beggars in Spain on Genetic Mutation Enables Less Sleep · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Read Beggars in Spain.
    What if, suddenly there were ppl with practically 33% more lifespan? More time every day to train sports, science, whatever - even work? No chance one of them attending chess games, olympic games or similar.

    It would lead to them being outcasts as long as they were in minority.

  6. Zapp Brannigan! on Futurama Voices Could Be Recast · · Score: 2, Funny
    As long as they keep Zapp Brannigan, Zoidberg, and Fry. They're perfect. Except Fry, who sucks. But excels at it. And the professor. And the hypnotoad. All bow to the mighty hypnotoad.

    They could replace ... the kids, the rasta dude, the japanese chick, etc.

    They could find an even sexier Leelaaaah... Leeluuuhh... Lee-Laaa.

  7. "find my iphone" is EXPENSIVE on Tracking a Move Via "Find My iPhone" · · Score: 2, Informative

    The "find my iphone" feature requires a MobileMe account. MobileMe is an expensive set of web based services that can easily be substituted with Flickr and Google's stuff. So, 79â a year for tracking my phone i n case I lose it? No thanks.

  8. Thought crime on British Men Jailed For Online Hate Crimes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is old news in Finland. We have had at least 4 convictions on dubious basis within one year. "Insulting" muslims and negroes seems to be verboten while insulting christians and white males is ok. 1984.

  9. Not an OSX fan, but a happy user on What Open Source Can Learn From Apple · · Score: 1
    First: OS X absolutely sucks compared to Linux when I do any metrics about USB speed or NTFS speed or anything like that. It sucks.

    On console, it has stupid basic mistakes like 'cal'-program missing the 'ncal' symlink. I've heard that on programmer level it's very unstandard (no specifics here, sorry, but for example the author of 'UADE' said so and I have high respect for his skills).

    The GUI is plain, but works. Compiz-tuned gnome or recent KDE beats it in looks and effects but it works. The file requester is the second best I've encountered, the best being the ReqTools requester for AmigaOS 15years ago.

    Spotlight is excellent and fast. The bundled apps _work_ and are a delight to use, except the Mail app which is pure unpropelled shit. I still use the Mail app because most other apps expect me to use it and "mail to"-function won't work. Plus Thunderbird 3 still won't use the system address book which is already synced to my iPhone etc.

    I use Linux at work (both as desktop and for about half the servers), have a Winshit gaming puter (XP) at home, and use a macbook for all the "fun" stuff. Videos, photos, music, syncing with my phone, car player... Apple has the desktop thing done right. It all costs tons of euros and is not FREE but I don't care, I get premium product for the price.

  10. It's the differences 6-7-8 on Is IE Usage Share Collapsing? · · Score: 1

    Even the most adamant IE users here are starting to switch to firefox because it's too much of a pain in the ass to use IE. FIrst they changed things in IE7 - and now again in IE8 - and the browser complains with stupid dialogs all the time asking this or that. Many sites just don't work in IE8 with default settings ...

  11. Re:And I though that switch.. on 13-Year-Old Trades iPod For a Walkman For a Week · · Score: 1

    You couldn't use a walkman for C64 datassette. It had custom tape drives with custom connectors.
    You _could_ use one with a Sinclair ZX48, for example.

  12. Re:Caps lock will be the end of unintended shoutin on Lenovo Tinkers With Larger Delete and Escape Keys · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Because it's NATURAL to have CTRL there. Jesus used CTRL that was left from A.
    It hurts to hunt CTRL from the fucking corner. Better have both. Capslock is useless, either kill the fucker or hide it behinf FN-this or that.
    I have capslock mapped as CTRL on my ubuntu boxes and on my mac - matter of clicketi-click via preferences.

  13. Your numbers are all wrong on Hitler's Stealth Fighter · · Score: 1
    Hitler's decision to make me-262 primarily a blitzbomber took place much before 1945.
    Also, it did not affect the program much - problems with the engines and lack of fuel did that.

    One V2 rocket had a ~1 ton warhead. Over 5200 were built.
    One B17 carried 900kg of ordnance, hardly "more than the entire V-2 production."

  14. real world vs testbench on Firefox 3.5RC2 Performance In Windows Vs. Linux · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Everything in these kind of tests usually makes MS and Intel compilers stand out vs gcc. On the desktop, the Wintel platform is shit slow all the time. I care for the latter. no 27 different systray update services for different crapware, the crapware, antivirus, etc running - just the apps and system services I have actually opted for,

  15. Re:The real question is.... on US Military Issuing iPod Touches To Soldiers · · Score: 1

    BulletFlight has been on apple store for months.

    But I recommend 'Ballistics', it's more versatile and the Field Edition has BulletFlight-style simple HUD mode.

  16. Re:Snigger... on India Launches Its First All-Weather Spy Satellite · · Score: 2, Funny

    PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. FRY: Oh. What's it called now? PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: Urectum.

  17. Re:British TV and the feign of class on Red Dwarf Returns In a 3-Part Showing · · Score: 1

    I'm from Finland. Here the common concensus is that British TV series are among, if not the, best.

    'Cracker' was awesome. Its Americanized version sucked bollocks.

    Imagine something like Men behaving badly americanized... horror.

  24. Use adobe's PS as a workaround on Making the Switch To Windows "Workstation" 2008 · · Score: 1

    Adobe has a free (as in beer (as if beer ever really was)) PS driver that can happily be used with CUPS. This trick worked even with ancient NT4 machines with practically no modern driver support.

  25. Dream target for muslims on Superconducting Power Grid Launches In New York · · Score: 0, Troll
