    Inconceivable !

  2. I can only think of one small brand now on Rise of the Small Brands · · Score: 1

  3. Re:Hah. on Pay vs. Happiness · · Score: 1

    IMHO Proper upbringing != being able to afford all the computer games and clothes that the other kids have

  4. Obligatory question about the server on SALT Telescope First Light · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll let carnun guess it :)

  5. astalavista on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will this be their *cough* registration site?

  8. Re:Good 'switch' argument on Mad as Hell, Switching to Mac · · Score: 1
    thanks for the info. Obviously I didn't know it, just thought the title was funny

    Now it's in my list of next movies to watch :)

    And the only reason you will change is due to anger.

    If your OS by anger driven you change... the terrorists have already won!

  10. Good 'switch' argument on Mad as Hell, Switching to Mac · · Score: 4, Funny
    But now, I've had it. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.

    Ahhhh... Who doesn't like a cool, balanced opinion?

  11. Re:The question is.... on MSN Virtual Earth to Take on Google · · Score: 1

    good point, granted ;-) ...global minus oceans

  12. The question is.... on MSN Virtual Earth to Take on Google · · Score: 5, Insightful
    will it be limited to the US?

    Microsoft could gain an edge over Google Maps by providing global coverage since the beginning. Otherwise I'm not sure the 45-degree images would bring much added value to the service. Google would probably continue to be #1 in this segment with their yet unmatched UI

  13. Re:Too dangerous? on Liquid Metal CPU Cooling · · Score: 1

    Actually they do not give any details about the metal. What they do is mention that the pump has no moving parts and works electromagnetically. Mercury is diamagnetic . I guess this makes it unsuitable for moving along the cooling circuit in this manner.

  14. Re:Google should apologise. on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 1
    And if France (and Germany, I haven't forgot them either when they harrassed Yahoo! and eBay) doesn't stop this practice of trying to make American companies subject to their wierd laws it is getting time to just pull the fibers connecting France to the rest of the world.

    You're maybe forgetting that America is not the rest of the world?

  15. Ahem... on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Somebody said double standards??? When IE has a security hole we call it crappy. When Firefox does, it's a complex browser (sic)

    yea right ;-)

  16. IT for donation collection on IT and Natural Disasters · · Score: 1, Informative

    The three French cell phone operators have joined forces to facilitate the collection of funds via SMS (in French). An interesting initiative as well

  17. Re:gah on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    Thanks for a good laugh

  18. Really old news on Laser Powered Virtual Display · · Score: 2, Informative

    Back in 1999.... I haven't RTFA, much less compared the two. Somebody has?

  19. Old technology on Statistics For Data Entry: The Brave New Step · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That is hardly news. Mobile phone interfaces have been offering this kind of interfaces for years. True, they are useful, but nothing new here

  20. Re:Released in 2006? on When 8 Megapixels Just Isn't Enough · · Score: 1

    2.6GB files would be perfect to use as a wallpaper in Longhorn.

    It would seem the guy has already foreseen something like that: the designer hopes to use an 18' by 36' digital display wall to reproduce the images at their best possible resolution in the future

    Sure it would look impressive in my laptop

  21. Privacy concerns on Salesforce.com: Another Valley IPO · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If Gmail has caused so much concern about privacy, I wonder what salesforce.com won't do! Externalising IT services, or even CRM software support is one thing, having all your customers information stored outside and out of your control may be another....

    I'm not saying externalising is bad. It's the trend in the industry but still I find customer relations are among the most sensitive information a company handles

  22. Winny on Winny P2P Software Creator Arrested · · Score: 5, Informative

    From pario (675744) in a previous article:

    [quote]
    Since Winny is pretty much unknown outside Japan, here is some background information for slashdot readers: Winny is a P2P file sharing program created by a Japanese programmer, who still remains anonymous to this day. It came out two years ago as an attempt to share copyright-protected materials "safely" when somebody was arrested for using another P2P program (WinMX). Since the application was extremely well designed and almost anything is available on its network, from movies to software, it has become immensely popular in Japan, so much so that there are a dozen book available on how to use it and network traffic in the country was down 20% after the news of the arrest broke. As for the reasons why the police was able to identify those two people who were arrested, they used an extra bulletin board feature, which does not guarantee anonymity unlike its file transfer feature, to distribute a list of warez videos. Therefore, I don't think this news has anything to do with the validity of Freenet's technology, or with that of Winny's for that matter.

  23. Re:Quick NASA needs more funding on European Space Shuttle Prototype Lands Safely In Sweden · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Come on Dubya, you can't let those smelly europeans beat us in space travel! on another note, I believe russia actaully had a functioning space shuttle in the 80's, but the scraped it when the cold war ended.

    Actually, shuttle Buran, as it was called, was technologically more advanced than contemporary American Space Shuttles. It sported, among other things, remote controlled landings. Shuttle Phoenix seems to go one step further and allow for automatic landings.

  24. Military applications on Gas Plasma Antennas Help Wi-Fi Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    According to their site, plasma antennas are interesting for short-pulse applications, such as radar, IFF... Wifi is not mentioned, just a vague "high speed data communications" after a wealth of military applications.

  25. Not open source on Red Hat Desktop Unveiled · · Score: 5, Informative

    ...Red Hat Desktop includes the Linux operating system, a Web browser and office productivity tools. It's entirely open-source software...

    That's what they said in their press release. This is what they include -which is not open source:

    Adobe Acrobat Reader and plugin
    Macromedia Flash plugin
    Java (IBM and BEA) and plugin (IBM)
    Real Player
