  1. Re:In the meantime, we in the USA... on Chinese High-Speed Train Sets New World Record · · Score: 1

    I can. Well, we have a few high speed tracks, where the ICE goes faster than the normal IC, up to 350km/h like between Hamburg and Berlin. But on normal tracks the ICE is a little bit faster than the IC, that can do up to 200km/h.

  2. Re:mod parent up on Browser-Based Deep Space Nine MMO Coming In 2011 · · Score: 1

    I don`t want to be a third nacelle to this discussion here, but my liquid copy of me would like to point out that that was Voyager. No way you say? Yes way I say!

    Also I would like to say that I can do wonderful things with vegetables and I am a survival expert that regularly gets people killed. Oh, and everybody loves me. Care to guess who I am?

  3. Re:No, no, no! on Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not knowing what Reticulated Gap-Toothed Yokel were, a quick google search gave me a link to this http://gingerpubktic.blog128.fc2.com/ site.

    As a ginger naturally I felt offended by you providing me with said link.

    But when I finally get my revenge when we gingers take over the world due to the revengue collected from the sales of Tori Amos CDs and ginger porn which we continuously put in a big fund, it will be a special pleasure to me to forcing you to carry my umbrella whenever I leave the house in broad daylight.

  4. Re:oh, come on. on IE9, FF4 Beta In Real-World Use Face-Off · · Score: 1

    I would switch if only those stupid developers didn't support the standard "thou must click three times to select everything in the urlbar" debacle with no option to change it. That and the fact that you can't switch the tabbar to the side. Yeah, that one is really very funny with 20+ tabs open.

  5. Re:Am I the only one? on Mozilla Unleashes the Kraken · · Score: 1

    I have several GB RAM. I don't care if Firefox uses half of that or even more (at the moment it uses less than half a gig with 67 open tabs). Seriously, if you pick up a new laptop for 500+ or a desktop for 100 less you always get at least 4 GB RAM, so unless you start a game that uses very much memory, you don't even have to close the browser. With more and more games only being ports from consoles that only have half a gig of RAM anyway, it is a non-issue.

  6. Tried in in firefox on Mozilla Unleashes the Kraken · · Score: 2, Informative

    with linux (kubuntu 10.04 64 bit). Completely froze Firefox 3.6.10pre. While it might be faster on Firefox, you can still use the browser while benchmarking with Chromium. Mozilla seriously needs to give each tab in Firefox it's own process. Try opening an article on slashdot with 300+ comments, while browsing at -1 and using the option that displays all comments. On my Quad Q6600 with 6GB Ram Firefox freezes for almost 20 seconds and is completely useless, unlike Chromium that let's me read other tabs while loading the article.

    Oh no! He watched porn!

    Over here (germany) she would have said: Oh no! He ist just like my son!

    No, that is not what we germans mean when we say "Meister"... Unless your intention was to say that you are going to drink lots of Meister Proper, a well known cleaning agent around here.

  9. Re:PS3 is a lame lockout box and I won't buy one. on Sony Releases PS3 Firmware Update To Fight Jailbreaks · · Score: 1

    But developing console-only would leave a big market gap for the PC. Strategic games are a lot more fun with a mouse and a keyboard. Sure, there are ports, but they always look better on the pc if the hardware is good enough. When on the console it is 720p plus 2*AA, on the pc you are only limited by your system. Plus the textures and models are almost always better, since on consoles you are limited to very little memory reserves.

  10. Re:It does make homebrew *possible*. on Sony Has Lost the PS3 Hacking War · · Score: 1

    For one thing, cydia has a programm that allows me to reconfigure the volume buttons on my ipod touch to something else, like next song and previous song. There is no such program in the official app store, the last time I checked.

  11. Re:I hope they fixed or tossed ureadahead on Ubuntu 10.10 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Whenever I unplug a drive and start Kubuntu, it just says that it can't mount one of the drives. Then I have the option to skip mounting that drive and boot or try to mount it manually. Don't know, why that isn't the case with your PC.

  13. Re:how come on Smart Trash Carts Tell If You Haven't Been Recycling · · Score: 1

    Over here in germany we have a rather complex sorting mechanism for trash, but after a while you get used to it. We seperate: Normal trash, duales System Deutschland (dual system germany), which is everything with this http://www.dokublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/der-gruene-punkt.jpg symbol on it (plastic, tin cans et cetera), paper, glass, ash from burning coal or wood, bulky waste, electronic devices, chemicals and hazardous materials, batteries and in some states tin cans get collected seperately. After a while it's a no brainer and it's a good thing to do for the environment.

  15. Maybe on Julian Assange Faces Rape Investigation In Sweden — Updated · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just that on average the swedish rape victim is more likely to go to the police and report it. I don't know if this is true, it just is another possible explanation.

    I would have used code names for my informants and the like to cover them, like for example the Stasi did in east germany (IM Klaus Meyer or something).

    Mew, I should have joined the army instead of going to college - I could have done so much for their intelligence service...

  20. Re:My favorite feature of this round of Wikileaks. on Wikileaks To Publish Remaining Afghan Documents · · Score: 1

    A quote from Göring comes to mind:

    Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

  21. Devil's Advocate on Canonical Begins Tracking Ubuntu Installations · · Score: 1

    Just being devil's advocate here, but couldn't it be possible that the provided binary deb is compiled from different source code than the source deb provides? Is there a way to tell the difference, e.g. by looking at the data sent with whireshark or other tools?

  23. Re:Jail time on Suspected Mariposa Botnet Creator Arrested · · Score: 1

    I know it was a joke. I just didn't think it was funny. Well, the girl that told me her story was a german exchange student from YFU whom I was training to go abroad. She chose to open up to me for whatever reasons she had. I think that it is a shame that a person in prison (be it in the US or in germany - I don't know if the chance of getting raped in prison is higher in the us or in germany), an environment that is closely monitored and where personal freedom is very limited, has a higher risk of getting raped than outisde of prison. I also don't think that it is reasonably to think that you are going to get raped in prison if you are convicted of tax fraud or aspersion. But what do I know, I don't live in a country that incarcerates 1% of its population.

  24. Re:Jail time on Suspected Mariposa Botnet Creator Arrested · · Score: 1

    How fucked up of a person would one have to be to wish another person that they get raped? Have you actually ever talked to a rape victim? Well, I have and I can tell you that it wasn't pretty. But hey, he is a criminal so it must be ok to rape him. Would it be ok to kill him too? After all, murder is just a crime like rape is.
