  1. Tolkien gave that a name on 3D Virtual Reconstructions From Microsoft · · Score: 0

    It's called the Leaf by Niggle effect.

  2. special abilities? on Citizen Photographers v. The Police? · · Score: 1

    They are given powers and abilities above that of normal citizens
    Sir, I think you're referring to the X-men.

  3. Re:The bottom line is this on Citizen Photographers v. The Police? · · Score: 1

    "This mentality and the belief in "terrorists" and a "war on terror" go hand-in-hand. They're all the result of cowardice and intolerance."

    Or/and a well-functioning propaganda machine.
    FrP, the most populistic party of Norway, supports the Nazi like rhetorics we've been seeing more and more of lately.
    When you put fear in the guts of people, and have a powerful voice, you can make them do anything.

  4. accrodnig to sicentists . . on Oracle 'Losing Patience' with XenSource, VMware · · Score: 2, Funny

    I read 'offline meditation'. But then, maybe that's exactly what they need.

  5. Re:SmackEdit on Knock Some Commands Into Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    You're correct. My orange Remtor 1050 goes 'bing!' half a word, or a short word, before the sheet ends. If you don't hit carriage return, your document will smell of shame, as it was written by an amateur.
    My only problem with my portable typewriter (it came with a carrying case with a handle!) is the difficulties I've had tracking down the right ink ribbons (I use those that are 50% black and 50% red). But I bought the entire stock of an old bookshop, and I suspect it'll last for at least a good fifty years.
    After that, I'll probably have to switch to a digital solution.
    My typewriter is also wireless, will never need a battery change, and has a comfortable asdf-keyboard without any lag. It also renders desktop printers a distant nightmare from the past.

  6. jungle law on Citizen Photographers v. The Police? · · Score: 1

    'cause he has a gun or a baton and the right to use it, whereas you do not.

    I'm not a police basher. I think a good majority of our (Norwegian) police is just as hard-working and honest as I am. But there's no doubt that we've got racial issues when it comes to bringing people downtown due to suspicion for selling drugs, for instance.
    AND a friend of mine was kicked the sh*t out of by three police officers. They apologized when they learned that he wasn't a junkie...!

    When a party has power, it will naturally yield this power to protect itself.
    A step-father who abused his daughter from age 5 and up got 4,5 years maximum in prison.
    A student who threw a cream cake at a prominent politician is facing 15 years maximum.

  9. Mod parent up on Ancient Reptile Had Wings Like a Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    I second the grammar nazi!
    I didn't notice at first. Must be tired. It's a terrible typo/non-sensical sentence. At last I can rest peacefully.

    Ok, ok, I'm just too tired of the GooglePraise. He's good. No, he's great.
    It's just that.. it's a search engine, all right? A good search engine.

  15. Yes, but on Skype Addresses Visibility Concerns · · Score: 1

    Yes, but most packets don't complain about crappy soundquality.
    Just filter out packets with lots of complaints and breathing noises.

  16. So, who's Lucy? on Is Distributed Computing Being Distributed Badly? · · Score: 1

    No, seriously.

  17. Love must be digitalized on DVD Format War Already Over? · · Score: 1

    Everything must be digitalized. I used CDs before, and DVDs, tapes and casettes, I even tried to memorize it, but nothing is like knowing that all the good stuff is in da box.
    My CD collection got scratches, 'cause I listen to music when I'm drunk and careless as well. So I built my own home media system (ol' stationary with SB Live!) and today all my music is 1s and 0s running around my HDDs.
    There's nothing like sitting at home, listening to digital music with my digital girlfriend.
    And you see, that is why hype-formats never make it. They're just not about love.

    The rollover buttons in the menu and that nifty splash screen?

    But seriously, I use OO to write in XP (Abiword in linux), and it needs to be fast.
    Disable java in OO and make your own shortcut (in Windoze) to call writer (or whatever app).
