  1. Millennium Technology Prize on Why There's No Nobel Prize In Computing · · Score: 1

    We have Millennium Technology Prize, awarded every second year. First one went to Tim Berners-Lee.

    http://www.millenniumprize.fi/

  2. Re:Hidden Cost & Annoyances on DTV Coupon Program Out of Money · · Score: 1

    Many of those boxes have timer function, even when they are not able to record the program by themselves, but for this exact reason, they'll turn on to programmed channel.

    And then many of the old VHS / DVD recorders have a function that they'll start recording when they receive video signal.

    So it might be just one setting on the old recorder and start using the timer function of the converter box.

  3. They misunderstood Linus on Why Mirroring Is Not a Backup Solution · · Score: 1

    (Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)"

  4. Re:Check Engine on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Your car is emitting O2? What make is it! We may have saved the planet!

    Actually no.

    His car is running lean and that's why there's too much O2 in exhaust, too much oxygen for amount of gasoline injected. So the engine isn't running as efficiently as it could and is probably producing too much NOx so it would fail the emissions test.

    And if it's just a failed O2 (Lambda) sensor then it will be probably running rich, computer injects excessive amounts of fuel to the engine just because it thinks that we're running lean. And yet again, fail in emissions.

    So no, planet isn't saved.

  5. Firefox redirected me to some pr0n site on Opera's Slashdot Easter Egg and Speed Dial · · Score: 0, Troll

    Just tried this with Firefox and it redirected me to a site with huge pr0n collection.

  6. Case solved on Hans Reiser Arrested On Suspicion of Murder · · Score: 1

    Case solved, move along http://www.namesys.com/support.html

    $25 gets you an answer to a question about anything.

  7. He has all the rights for the video? on Star Wars Kid Cuts a Deal With His Tormentors · · Score: 1

    But doesn't he have all the rights for the video?

    I mean he acted, he made the video. ...

    X. profit

  8. Re:Camcorderless Linux? on Samsung's Linux-based Diskless Camcorder · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, if two mouse clicks is too much, how about one?

    http://opensrc.sec.samsung.com/

    And no, they don't have to publish their diffs for everybody, only for those who has bought the camera if they ask for them.

  9. Re:I�ve said it before, and I�ll say it again on When Copy Protection Fails · · Score: 5, Funny

    Those music disks are not 'copy protected', they are 'playback crippled'

    I call them 'listening protected'

  10. Been there, done that on When Copy Protection Fails · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bought a copy protected CD, which was from EMI. Couldn't listen to it so I made a copy for myself. Then I mailed the original CD back to EMI with note saying what I had to do just to listen the CD and here's the original back, I won't need it, my 20 euros for fighting piracy.

  11. Re:Then why do they.... on Women Need Larger Screens for Desktop Navigation? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Slashdot SERIOUSLY messed this article summary up. Women do NOT have "problems nagivating the desktop".

    You mean vaginating?

  12. Mirrors on IPv4 Headers Investigated · · Score: 1

    If this story gets slashdotted, here's mirrors: Mirror1 Mirror2 Mirror3

  13. Re:Hopefully, it is faster... on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, BitTorrent is being slashdotted, so it will take 2 weeks to download.

  14. We got the mp3 before release on Michael Jackson Releases Uncopyable CD · · Score: 1

    Here in Finland, local radio station played that song couple of days before radio debut. DJ got the song as a mp3 from a friend. After that record company advanced the radio debut.

  15. Let's continue the tradition... on Microsoft's DNS Down · · Score: 1

    ...and help Microsoft again with their domains
    and DNS. Last time someone paid for their domain,
    now we just need to crack their DNS-boxes and fix them.

  16. Solved before computers even existed on I Am Not a Student, I Am a Number · · Score: 1

    This is the case in Finland, and I think it applies to Sweden too.

    Those who were born 18xx has an ID like this:

    ddmmyy+xxxc

    For those who has born 19xx:

    ddmmyy-xxxc

    20xx:

    ddmmyyAxxxc

    xxx is a number, which is odd for male and
    even for female. 'c' is a checksum calculated
    from rest of the ID. It can be a letter or
    number.

    So no y2k problem, the separator character
    only changes indicating century.
