    lol i keep forgetting you Americans still build wooden homes. I don't get that, with all them hurricanes and such.

  2. Re:BTDT on Microsoft Embraces AMQP Open Middleware Standard · · Score: 1

    unload, format,
    zip, encrypt,
    sign post,
    you name it.

    This could be a song.

    Slashdot is not UTF8 compatible: no â(TM) â(TM) â(TM) here.

  3. Re:That's lousy on Browsing Frugally Without Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Lucky us. Netherlands mostly is fair use policy: use anything you want, just dont upload on 100% capacity all the time.

    In my case: upload more than 80% and your downloadspeed will get less optimal: just network behavour by design. So we just limit it on 80%, thats about 75kilobyte/s.

    25eur/month.

  4. Windows Mobile on Which Phone To Develop For? · · Score: 1

    Why is Windows Mobile missing in that list?

    PS my desktop runs linux, no fanboy.

  6. Centigrade on Google Demands Higher Chip Temps From Intel · · Score: 1

    Finaly, thank you! Centigrade!

    No more Fahrenheit in frontpage articles please.

    "I visited the article and all i got was this lazy ad!"

    (there is a limit on title length here.. no room for I and !)

  8. I just found the website i had back then. on Google, Circa 2001 · · Score: 1

    I forgot all about it..

    I'd mod the google engine +1 insightfull, if i had any Google Moderator rights.

    I like Google. They like my data. Its a joy world.

  9. Move along, nothing to see here. on Debunking the Google Earth Censorship Myth · · Score: 1

    Another one: "Move along, nothing to say here."

  10. Re:Stanford's patent policy. on Designing a Patent-Incentive Program? · · Score: 1

    I agree,

    Sarcasm rules!

  12. Re:Interstellar ship decellerating on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    I'd say a collision of some sorts, where some matter is stopped in its tracks and obliterated by the energy.

  13. Unfunny yet lovable news! on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    Being the most "unfunny" thing i ever read, i still cant help loving it.

    How weird can it get.. In any other case, it'd be bad news.

    rickroll

  16. But wait, there is more.. on Microsoft Causes Internal Family Strife · · Score: 1

    It HAS to be bad: it is a metamorphosis campaign. Later on they redo much of it, only better. Think patches.

    There was this other thing but the still pointless yet intriguing ad cleansed my skull. Interpret that any way you prefer as with the ad: what you want is what you see, not what you observe.

  17. Re:Slow News Day on How HP Could Turn a Novelty Into a Revolution · · Score: 1

    Indeed. This touchscreen device has NOTHING! new to offer. My HTC phone is more usefull.

  18. Interstates on Verizon Cutting Access To Entire Alt.* Usenet Hierarchy · · Score: 1

    Lets also close mayor interstates, as terrorists are prone to using them to get about.

  19. Re:What? on First Ethernet Switch In Space · · Score: 1

    Does i get moderated offtopic?

    Whomever modded me: I actually am very on-topic. Check the article's first line. Its just wrong on so many ways. And then there's the other comments. And the article.

    And me losing faith in certain fond aspects of humanity.

  23. Stokke Peter Opsvik on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    edit: Just saw that somebody else also pointed out these chairs: see www.stokke.com

    Stokke chairs are often designed by Peter Opsvik (Norway i beleive) and feature balance tricks that make one sit up.
    There are permutations available. This is one:

    http://www.franssenwonen.nl/show_popup.php?file=aktiefotos/groot_stokke6.jpg

    It doesn't make your back tired, because the chair always finds the middle. It does make one sit up correct though. Its costly but i'd certainly get one if i wasn't a student.
    In the Netherlands i have seen several medic related professionals use it their selves.

    On another note, i'm over 2m tall. Specific advices? My lower back is already killing me from "hanging" in chairs as if they are sofa's.

  24. Re:Diamonds are... on Diamonds Key To Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    Actually what is said was "quantum correlations that persist for hundreds or thousands of microseconds," and i beleive someone forgot that thousands is actually less than hundreds, seen how the sentence was build in this context.
