    The Quick brown fox is the sentence to show all the available characters in the english language. Every other language has it's own sentence. It's called a Pangram: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangram

  4. Free Magenta on T-Mobile Claims Trademark In the Color Magenta · · Score: 5, Funny

    Check out this website. It's filled with anti 'T-Mobile owns Meganta' drawings, pictures, comics and graphics.

    I especially like the one from Michael Wolbert (do a search for his name), somewhere on 1/3 of the page.

    - Grab two ballpoint pen's.
    - One in your left hand, one in your right hand.
    - Click the pen once with your left hand.
    - Then with your right hand. (it's not required to click both pen's on the same time).
    - Shake your hands, both the same movement and timing.
    When the shake amplitude is above a specific value, a process is started to calculate the match in movement between both ballpoint's. If this movement is the same during 2 seconds, you are authenticated.

    - Click both pen's again (it's not required to click both pen's on the same time). shake-auth is off now. (Or it's off automatically if you are successfully authenticated).

    Then add a button to the side of the phone. One you need to hold down during shaking. Just like the Sony Ericsson phone's where you can shake while holding down a button, so you skip to the next song in your mp3player.

    Central Europe? Why don't you name the country?

    Anyway, I'm from the Netherlands, and it's MSN all the way here.

    When two people say goodbye: "See you on MSN!"
    When two people meet at a bar: "Hey what's your MSN?"
    etc...

    One word: Marketing.

    I bet you buy washing machines, micro waves and home cinema sets because the guy in the store "Uses this brand at home" as well.

    And on another note did you _see_ where the ads are about?

    - Frustrated by autism?

    - Overweight Children

    "Mom, are you frustrated with me, do you think I'm fat?"

  19. Re:TiVo wins of course... on MythTV Vs. TiVo, Round 2 · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Move along, nothing to see here...

    From the article, about the User Interface:

    This is a hard category to judge, but I'll give the interface and ease of use award to TiVo's Series 3. Really, the category is almost too tight to call. While MythTV has some better UI choices and abilities, TiVo's standard interface is more simple to setup (turn on the box) and more people are use to it.
    I want screenshots! Not some excuse why it's hard to judge. "This is my seven page article. however, it's a hard subject. therefore I'm going to write how hard it is to write about this subject"

    Yeah there is a limit in the number of recursive function calls, which i use. firefox will stop the execution of the code after a while. the limit is different per browser. Opera has the largest limit. IE the smallest iirc. I didn't feel like making a workaround yet. :-)

    Hey I created some sort of javascript drawing tool. You can edit images other people created. And draw new ones:

    I think they inform me too. It gives a quick impression what people think about the article. I'm never reading articles tagged FUD. the articles tagged 'haha' are all about microsoft and make me smile :-). If it's slownewsday, I probably like it, etc.
