According to Norwegian laws it is illegal for you to store personal information about me, outside Norway, without my consent and due reason for storing such data.
I have never visited rnbxclusive.com before today so you cannot possibly have any proof that I have committed a criminal offence. Secondly, you operate under UK law which does not apply to me as a Norwegian citizen.
In summary: I demand that you immediately remove all data you have collected in regards to my person. Please confirm as soon as this has been done.
Failure to comply may result in SOCA being liable for criminal prosecution under Norwegian law.

This isn't an anti-mac ad, that's how you can't make sense of it... It's trying to tell you "if you buy cheap (Asus Eee, Aspire One etc), you get crap".
Buy cheap shoes, they don't fit. You get a stupid discount which everyone knows is so minute it doesn't matter in the long run.
Buy cheap OS they don't work blah blah blah.
IMO this ad is almost helping sell Macintosh, as it's even more expensive than Microsoft. But I don't think MS cares so much about Apple now because they shifted towards iPod, iPhone and other integrated products...
Seeing as this is a proposal wanting public feedback please sign the petition I created:
http://www.petitiononline.com/d4t4m0n/petition.html. UK residents, please sign, as it is only a consultation but it WILL be passed as a law next year if people don't object!
I will send this petition to commsdata@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk, as per the proposal suggest under section 7.1, before the deal line of 31st of October 2008.
No, vikings actually got trolled by real trolls. They are from scandinavia you know, living in the mountains and forests... The vikings got uber-trolled!
Follow your #1 interest, the thing you are best at.
At the end of the day; to ensure employment you have to be exceptionally good at what you do... Average performers will struggle getting employed, in almost any field. Exceptional performers will easily find work.
You're looking at it entirely wrong if you think certain educations will give you an easy employment.
If you get an MBA, and you graduate as an average student at an average institution, you WILL stuggle to find employment. Work with something you love and are exceptional at. If you suffer from an extreme fascinations with earth-quakes and rocks, and you get a superb graduation from a top-notch university with a M.S. in geology, you can pick from many hundred jobs within your field. Almost just as importantly, if you get an education within a field that interestes you very much, you will ENJOY your student-life. As opposed to wrestling with a boring and (to you) uninteresting education for 3-7 years, just because of 'employability'!
Wasn't it rather amoeba-shaped?
I'd like to see the nucleus of this object if it was 200 million light years... The nucleus would be... 50 light years? Making it by far the largest nucleus ever discovered! Also can the object reproduce asexually like an amoeba? If so it could soon take over the entire known galaxy... Like a badly made 60s exploitanment movie from hell!:o
*puts on his tinfoil hat to guard against massive amoebas from outer space*
Only Debian seems to be on the right track here. The pages needs to be excessively pink! However even debian lacks the ponies. And possibly red hearts and roses...
Because we all know that's what attracts women! *_*
NASA really been letting everyone down the past few years. So many silly accident and subsequent failure to fix it. This is NASA FFS, they're supposed to be... Well rocket scientists and pretty much overall the brightest people on the planet.
I remember growing up and feeling NASA were a magical place where anything could happen and that it was just prime ace, the place to be.
Now where it's at is Google and... erm, where else? Perhaps like PriceWaterHouseCoopers? IBM? I dunno... My point is, that NASA should have been just magically able to fix things like these in a jiffy. It's what they do! Bright minds that fixes things and explores the universe in the process!:/
Better shape up before Virgin Glactic and the rest of the bunch whoops your sorry asses hehe...
Even ESA, China National Space Administration and Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency seems more exciting than NASA recently!:o
At least for webdesigners. The only fscking issue, is that STILL Microsoft refuse to adhere to standards. Look at how horridly IE7(b2) fails at the ACID2 test!
Microsoft prides themselves in having the industries brightest programmers and scientists, which they actually might have(google aside of course...), but MS must have the absolutely most moronic business executives and marketing executives.
As I said, if IE7 adhered to web standards, it would be such a fantastically orgasmic idea that over night all users would have IE7 instead of IE6. Bugs, yes... But at least we'd be able to create websites without having to spend 50% of the time creating a special "IE" version of all the CSS and Javascripts!
Let's hope it doesn't react to Ethanol C2H6O as well as Ethylene C2H4 *_*
Rather embarrassing if all those stickers turns blue to signify that you had a proper good 'ol binge-drinking adventure the previous night, isn't it?
PS: Also, slashdot needs to support the sub and super scripts so that I could have used a better chemistry notation here....:/
That's because we're science/computer geeks with a critical mind, and they're just technology geeks that wants a new fascinating techno-fetish to flap at *_*
Despite using a liquid with a low boiling point, the basic laws of thermodynamics still applies.
The energy which needs to be absorbed for turning a liquid into gas can be X. A turbine cannot utilize all energy because of friction, slowness etc. So the energy which the turbine produces would be X - delta X, which could be Y.
Then you'd like to use that energy Y to power air condition to lower the temperature inside?
Did it ever strike these people to think about something called "Solar Photovoltaic Panels", commonly named "Solar Panels", the efficiency of using the photovoltaic effect is indeed much higher than relying on heating a liquid.
Anyone even slightly familiar with thermodynamics and physics will tell you that a large part of the energy to heat up a liquid into a gaseous phase will be lost to the enviroment (owning to the rather amazing "Second Law of Thermodynamics"!).
To summarize, heating a liquid into steam to harvest energy, and then attempt to convert the energy into electric energy, INSTEAD of putting up a solar panel array... Is a fantastically stupid idea. It doesn't matter that the liquid has a lower boiling point, what that means is that less energy has to be absorbed for it to leap into a gaseous phase. In plain english, by using such a liquid you collect less energy than if you were to use good old water.
Also, lets not get into the whole aspect of the fact that the boiling point of a liquid is not only dependent on temperature, but pressure as well... No matter how you twist and turn, you end up with X energy and you will loose energy in every single step and conversion.
Solar Photovoltaic Panel is much more efficient, in every possible way you look at it.
This whole idea reminds me of when you're a kid and you try to lift yourself off the ground by pulling your own legs hehe....;)
I never can understand the reasons for the fantastic WebOS in this Web 2.0 era. Your computer needs an operating system to communicate with the hardware and to respond to events. Frankly, without an OS your computer is just a fancy bunch of IC's and wires.
For using the internet sanely your computer has to be able to: communicate fully with TCP/IP, render graphics on your screen, respond to keyboard and mouse events... And this is just a short list, you could add lots more.
And for a fully-fledge WebOS 2.0 you need to process JavaScript, AJAX and many other advanced and "new" web technologies.
So my point is, that you already need a pretty advanced OS to enable you to use those amazingly fantastic WebOS for Web 2.0. So, the whole concept is to have an OS within your perfectly good OS. And that OS has to be launched inside a browser, and communicate over the internet. As opposed to your perfectly fine native OS already running.
For hecks sake, you can get a bloody thumbdrive if the idea is that you want to have certain things with you independently of the computer you're using right? Put Portable OOO and Portable Firefox on it. And perhaps all your documents as well as whatever else you need.
You could even put Linux on your thumbdrive.
I just don't get the whole concept of having those wonderful WebOS around....
How is this different from their old?
1. Idea
2. Marketing research
3. Develop
4. Create a "mysterious" website promo
5. Spend gazillion dollars on marketing
6....
12. Profit
Is this a sort of misplaced 1st of April thing? Or is it just the silliest most moronic slashdot story ever? As the above poster said, the story link is a whole lot of nonsence as well...
Has the/. editors been replaced by retarded sperm-whales or something?:O
When I buy a Ferrari I usually sell it straight away. Then proceed to buy the latest monster setup from Alienware, take a journey around the world, put half of what is left on a high-interest bank account, and donate the other half to Médecins Sans Frontières or the Red Cross.
So there you have it!:p Straight on topic hehe...
Congress is absolutely baffled as the winner of the 2009 Presidential Elections turned out to be a beefed up version of A.L.I.C.E, deployed as a marketing scheme for Intel to show off their new Octal Core processor!
In communist China, working "side by side" means "in direct and absolute collision course to destroy the capitalistic ways of a corporation" *_*
Nice to know!:p
Do people CAPITALIZE the hosts file? I can't remember it being capitalized on any system that I've used. On WINDOWS it doesn't even matter about capitalization, and on both FreeBSD and Linux it is in all lower caps...
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN??!
Security flaws in sendmail dæmon, when did that become news?:p
Who uses sendmail anymore hehe... qmail/postfix/exim/etc etc, all sendmail compatible.
Don't be square slashdot, get with the flow biatch!:D
