  1. Old news on Moon May Have Once Had Water · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tintin found glaciers on the moon decades ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explorers_on_the_Moon

  2. Konrad Zuse on Dead At 92, Business Computing Pioneer David Caminer · · Score: 1
    Suse is a wordplay at Zuse, AFAIK.

    "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Konrad Zuse (pronounced [ËkÉ"nÊat ËtsuËzÉ(TM)]; June 22, 1910 Berlin - December 18, 1995 Hünfeld) was a German engineer and computer pioneer. His greatest achievement was the world's first functional program-controlled Turing-complete computer, the Z3, in 1941 (the program was stored on a punched tape)."

  3. FUDmeisters on Two Trojans For Mac OS X · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's F-Secure's business to cry wolf.

  4. What is the point? on Twilight Hack Defeats Wii Menu Update 3.3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why do ppl insist on hacking PSP, Wii, etc? They are closed platforms. You don't lie closed - just don't buy them. Especially PSP hacking seems troublesome enough to avoid the thing altogether

  5. Opera, as closed, is a non-contender on Comparing Firefox 3 With Opera 9.5 On Linux · · Score: 0

    Safari, Konqueror and Firefox are the alternatives. On mobile devices Opera wins, but even this is changing. Nokia N810 uses a mozilla-derivative browser with gecko engine!

  6. I thought wearing red gets you killed on The Red Team Wins · · Score: 4, Funny

    Too much TOS.

  7. 'Dig' aliens have prior art on Multicolored Keyless Entry System · · Score: 1

    In the lucasarts game DIG, the ancient aliens use locks with colored geometric shapes.

  8. Nokia bought QT, makes Linux tablets on Windows XP Lives, Thanks to Linux · · Score: 1

    Nokia would dump Symbian immediately if all the nifty infra existed on Linux.

  9. How about the $189 Avant Stellar? on Review of the Model M-Inspired Unicomp Customizer Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Link: http://www.cvtinc.com/products/keyboards/stellar.htm It has only one modern feature: built-in macro capability and keycode swapping (no need to install software to program it).

  10. Heinlein, schmeinlein on The World's Spookiest Weapons · · Score: 1

    Exactly where in Heinlein's Future History line do we see the Silbervogel?

  11. bad test on Performance Showdown - SSDs vs. HDDs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In typical use most of the time is spent seeking, not just reading or writing sequential blocks. The Windows XP disk IO is especially brain damaged in this regard (does not even try to order or prioritize disk I/O). Copying DVD images from one drive another is not typical use case.

  12. eeePC locally in Helsinki? on Microsoft Extends XP For Low-Cost Laptops · · Score: 1

    Where from?

  13. F-Secure are FUDmeisters on FTP Hacking on the Rise · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just ignore them. It's good business for them to constantly cry "wolf".

  14. Go get em XBox one on Wii Homebrew Takes Several Leaps Forward · · Score: 1

    No, Xbox1 and XBMC was the killer app. Wii cannot compare with what XBMC was 3 years ago.

  15. The fscking thing didn't even work on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Silverlight?" WTF?

  16. Nokia N series on Touch Screen Tech Comes of Age · · Score: 1

    Nokia 770, N800 and N810. Just google them. N800 and N810 now have actually finger-usable interface (needs polishing, many little things still require stylus. Surfing does not).

  17. They should improve the gnome VNC server on The Notable Improvements of GNOME 2.22 · · Score: 1

    vino sucks. It's totally unusable: buggy, slow, and fails with 3D acceleration. x11vnc, on the other hand, works very very well. Why not borrow the code?

  18. Skype on linux is a bad idea on German Govt. Skype Interception Trojans Revealed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's closed, proprietary crap after all.

  19. 700 MHz Spectrum - serious overclocking on The 700mhz Spectrum Auction In Perspective · · Score: 1

    lame joke I know.

  20. MD was hardly a failure on Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB · · Score: 2, Insightful

    MD is still used since most mp3 players do not work as recorders.

  21. Originality on What 2008 May Hold In Store for FOSS · · Score: 1

    I'm looking for a new revolutionary idea.
    Desktops have been essentially the same for 20 years now.
    I have no idea what that idea is... I just hope someone figures out something really fundamentally cool to do with existing frameworks.

  22. Paki nukes are disassembled on How PALS Help Secure Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1
    As I read it, the paki nukes are stored in parts in secret locations (because that country is right now in a turmoil). They do not have operational nukes ready but can assemble one quickly.

    But, this info comes from a Finnish newspaper, cannot remember which, and we have strict social-democratic and multicultural self-censorship in place, so it may be inaccurate.

  23. Penguins live south... on Microsoft's Plan to Be King of All Media · · Score: 1

    Easy to remember:
    Iglus are north, penguins and secret nazi ufo bases are south.

  24. mod parent up on Fake Codec is Mac OS X Trojan · · Score: 1

    The well-written parent message sums it up.

  25. How does it land? on Another Look at 1930's Cyclogyro Plane Design · · Score: 1

    just wondering
