  1. Re:Call Waiting on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 1

    Well, in Europe, things are a little different, basically, mobile phones have their own area codes, so when you call a number you know it's a mobile phone and not a Landline, and anyway, at least here, mobile phone penetration is extremely high, almost everyone has a mobile phone nowadays, I rarely use my landline. So, if you want to call a mobile phone, you use your mobile, if you want to call a landline, you use your landline. It's that simple.

    Holy Shit, no wonder the telecoms are pushing for a tiered internet, it seemed weird for me here, but seeing that this is basically the same way they've been doing business for years, seems pretty clear now why they would want to push this through ... billing both parties of a call seems so ... unreal here. The only time this happens in Europe is in the case of Roaming calls where the caller is billed at the normal rate and the called person pays the rest of the international bill, but otherwise, the one that calls has to shell out the cash.

    One question, I'm not familiar with the American way of billing phone calls. Are your GSM companies also billing the people receiving the calls? In Europe, AFAIK, they are only billing the people making the calls and that's it.

  5. Upcoming messenger integration on Yahoo! Opens up Their Instant Messenger · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Try this little experiment. Keep your mouse hovered above the top visibility drop-down. (the one that says: - Available to everyone).
    After a second of holding your mouse still, a little yellow square will appear that says:
    You appear as
    Online to 1000 Contacts
    Offline to 0 Contacts


    Microsoft LCS Status: Online to everyone


    Could this be the first sign that the client at hand already has the MSN Protocol connection modules integrated? Wonder why they're not activated at all yet, as this is the only sign I've found of this and even this seems some kind of slip from the YM Programmers.
  6. Talk about stability on Blizzard Talks About WoW Stability and Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yay, the topic's not showing.

    They should upgrade their forum servers first and then if this works out, think about upgrading the game servers and doing al those nifty things they're talking about.

    Actually Aero Glass is about everything that is purely a Vista thing. WinFX is currently and will continue to be available on WinXP too.

    Check Out this beautiful "rape gamme".

    I guess you'll be totally outraged by that, LOL

    IMHO You're a little too touchy. The ad is beautiful, and it expresses what the game is all about, killing for money, be it a woman, man, child or someone's dog.

  22. Re:DRM on Norwegian Minister: No More Proprietary Formats · · Score: 1

    It doesn't circumvent anything. And the videos on CNN.com don't have DRM. They're plain uncrypted WMV videos. Screw the DMCA.

  23. Re:Now if US companies would get it... on Norwegian Minister: No More Proprietary Formats · · Score: 1

    Who in the world said you should break the law. It seems you didn't find exactly what I was talking about. It is a mozilla plug-in (works in Firefox under Linux) that acts as a wrapper for the best linux/Windows/AnyOS media player mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ Using it together with the win32 codecs (free) you can watch WMV videos as well as almost any other video you want (haven't found a video format that didn't work in mplayer yet). So, this way, you can see all the videos on CNN on Linux, or even MacOSX if you want. Enjoy

  24. Re:Now if US companies would get it... on Norwegian Minister: No More Proprietary Formats · · Score: 1

    Well, to be honest, you prolly didn't try hard enough to see the videos on CNN.com. Try googling for something called mplayerplug-in (hint, hint) and see what you come up with.

  25. You surely CAN boot from it on What Kind Of Software RAID Are You Running? · · Score: 1

    I'm booting off my RAID 1 drive (mirroring) using Software RAID. For linux, if you want RAID 0 or any other version, I guess you can put the /boot on a NON-RAID partition, create an INITRD that loads the raid modules and set the real-root to the RAID partition and it should work like a charm. So you only have you kernel and modules on the non-RAID device and the rest of the system on the RAID device, so you don't lose the advantages of RAID for system files.
