  1. Apple HotSauce/Project X on Why Hasn't 3D Taken Off For the Web? · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Football field unit. on NASA Says Asteroid Will Buzz Earth Closer Than Many Satellites · · Score: 1

    Still no height defined, so it would have no volume or mass.

    We are quite safe.

  3. Football field unit. on NASA Says Asteroid Will Buzz Earth Closer Than Many Satellites · · Score: 2

    Is this unit measured in 2D?

  4. Re:300M on Verizon Makes It Easy To Go Over Your Data Cap · · Score: 2

    "Does it seem strange to anyone else that Verizon is releasing their upgraded video service just a month or so after introducing bandwidth caps? Or at the same time they're field testing 300 MB, $20/month data plans?"

  5. 300M on Verizon Makes It Easy To Go Over Your Data Cap · · Score: 1

    um... the more expensive $20/mo option is ***300M*** ? what the heck are you doing over in that development country you call the states? ;)

    I have no problem hitting 300M/day just using the mobile web browser when I'm away from home.... a few gigs on a slow/rainy day.

    Not to mention tethering.

  6. Lasers on Equipping a Small Hackerspace? · · Score: 1

    You could never go wrong with lasers.

    Mount mirrors and lenses on a small, sturdy table and have a few beams of 1mW laser bounce around in smoke from a small smoke machine and you'll impress the boss enough to keep your lair. (and job) ;)

  7. My internet bill in Sweden on UN Tech Group Finds Most Expensive Broadband · · Score: 1, Informative

    Including a small extra fee for access the municipal fiber network, for 1 month of 100/100Mbit with no caps or meters what so ever, I pay roughly 1.5 hours of my wage after taxes.. and I'm just above average for "low income".. I pay almost twice that for unmetered mobile 3G traffic on my phone though.. tethered to the laptop the gigs tend to run away so unmetered is the only way. ;)

    As far as I've seen from the latest Akamai state of the internet reports, Scandinavia is losing ground to South Korea and some other quickly rising countries... We'll see.. ;)

  8. Non-dangerous black holes. on Colliding Particles Can Make Black Holes After All · · Score: 1

    The Large Hadron Collider can definitely create microscopic black holes, the thing is that they are not dangerous as they would evaporate long before interacting with any matter.

  9. Hehe, I didn't even know I had native ipv6 on Windows 7 May Finally Get IPv6 Deployed · · Score: 1

    until I installed windows 7 and it got an ipv6 adress automatically without a hitch.. (only used straight XP boxes and a FreeBSD with static ipv4 ip before)

    Apparently my isp has been doing native ipv6 for almost a year now and it works like a charm.. for ipv6 enabled sites and services that is. ;)

  10. a couple of terabytes/month I guess. on Typical Home Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    Now and then around 250G/day, it adds up ;)

    100/100 full duplex connection with no restrictions, of course I do live in Sweden.

  11. I often use 250G/day here..what is this nonsense? on Comcast To Cap Data Transfers At 250 GB In October · · Score: 1

    Of course, I do live in Sweden and I've got 100/100 full duplex in my wall..

    (250 gigabyte) / (1 month) = 797.473874 kilobit per second

    You would have to cap uTorrent to 512kbit and then just do very moderate surfing to survive the cap ;)

    That's just silly.

  12. Re:this doesn't just affect HTTP on EarthLink Establishes Their Own "Site Finder" · · Score: 1

    Excellent post, I didn't even think of the misrepresentation of parent zone, I wouldn't want my non-existant subdomains to point to some ad-infested search engine.

  13. My site's been hijacked! on EarthLink Establishes Their Own "Site Finder" · · Score: 1

    Just realised that because my DNS server is temporarily offline due to a broken switch, anyone on earthlink trying to access one of my sites will make earthlink money from banner advertising.

    Horrible.

  14. Re:Downmod me to hell, but... on EarthLink Establishes Their Own "Site Finder" · · Score: 1

    NXDOMAIN HTTP etc.. lalala..

    Would help if this guy actually knew anything about the http protocol, not to mention the dns protocol..

  15. Re:IBM Screwjob on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    The stationary Macs weren't called "Power" until they were running on PowerPC, but the Powerbooks have been Powerbooks since 680x0.

    The new Macs just might stay with the Power Mac name, but now they will be Power Mac I2 or such (Itanium2)

    (I hope they will go Itanium2 or better of course)

  16. My part of Sweden is going black early 2006. on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 1

    Here in central Sweden the shutdown of analog tv is sheduled for spring 2006, I'm quite happy as that would free up the 6M ham-radio band for me (requires separate license today because analog tv freqs close to it).

    I've been on digital TV for...I don't know.. a bit over 5 years now anyway, 6 months ago I even switched to digital tv over internet and I'm happy as can be as I got 100Mbit when I signed up for it as it would saturate the old 10Mbit connection too much. ;)

    Cheers from Borlänge, South-central Sweden.

    And of course as you should know, in Sweden, entrapment is illegal.

    This is illegal in Sweden, FYI.

  19. 100Mbit network heh.. on Hong Kong's High-Tech Technology Incubator · · Score: 1

    Why would one build a 100Mbit network in a modern business complex? You can get 10/100/1000-switches cheaper than 10/100 today afaik.

    Perhaps .hk is way behind Sweden, but a 100Mbit network does not impress us with 100Mbit internet connections to our homes.

  20. Low on bandwidth over there? on SCO DOS'ed · · Score: 1

    Uhm... 154Mbit can't even be DDoS.. I've personally been attacked harder than that..

    DDoS is often done through thousands of slave servers controlled centrally...

    gigabits of bandwidth is absolutely no problem for a proper DDoS..

    And...if 150Mbit can take the whole isp down.. (wtf, change isp!)

  21. Nice little machine, I work as a laser engraver... on Desktop Laser Cutting/Engraving · · Score: 1

    I use a LaserPro Mercury 50W machine at work, and can cut up to 20mm thick acrylic.. only our imagination limits the use of the machine... it's real fun work sometimes :)

  22. LunarStorm..swedish community.. over 1000000 users on Community Networks and Websites? · · Score: 1

    http://www.lunarstorm.se/ has over 30000 people logged in most of the afternoons and evenings, and over 20000 all day long.....only drops to less than a couple of thousand like 5am..

    Quite successful web-community reaching pretty much every person in sweden between 10 and 25 with just a slight computer interest..

    Hehe, I'm helping out on a much smaller community with around 4000 users now...the poor linuxbox can barely take it ;)
