It's like Ikea. Ikea may have started in Finland, but they employ and enrich a heck of a lot of Americans.
It started in Sweden, know you new overlords!
Internet2, level3? What's level3?
"Level 3 Communications cables used by the network went up in flames"
"Level 3 engineers estimate it could take one to two days to restore the circuit"
But what about favicons then?
As long as I can remember my bookmarks have picked up the wrong favicon in the repository.
It's not a critical problem but really annoying and it shouldn't be too hard to correct, right?
I think I've heard about a similar report where driving with and without handsfree was compared.
The conclusion was that it's not the fact that your holding a phone thats the biggest issue. It's the fact that you're concentrating on something else than driving that causes reactions to take longer.
Let's hope there won't be a need to create more sites like this, http://www.paypalsucks.com/.
Because Paypal works pretty good and what seems to be what people complain the most about is the poor handling of fraud and disputes.
Taking part in a shared source program with Microsoft has been criticized before by the open source community for being a great risk to the developer that looks at the MS code.
Isn't there the same problem with this new initiative?
Shared source licenses include a requirement that the licensor agree to treat Microsoft's code as confidential proprietary data. It follows that any developer, once he has seen shared source code, can be enjoined under trade-secrecy law from any activity that Microsoft considers to be competitive with its code.
Shared source, therefore, behaves like a virus that infects developers' brains. Once you let it into your organization, you must keep careful track of which developers have been contaminated, avoid deploying them to any projects which might compete with a Microsoft product, and even erect "Chinese walls" between projects so that no knowledge from shared source can leak into projects with competitive implications. Failing to implement any of those precautions could result in your organization's being sued for ruinous compensatory damages by Microsoft's armies of lawyers.

You sure shortened the life of those drives, but it's a interresting way to evaluate new hardware -see how much punishment it can take and still get a refund.
I'm an Opera fan too so you're not alone.;-)
I've tried FF as well but it felt like running some version of IE with tabs. Whenever I use Opera it's like wearing a glove since it's so intuitive and convenient. Of course there are a lot of plugins available for FF but I guess it's like when you buy a new toy with lots of bells and whistles, after a while you only use a small fraction of it.
And last but not least, -it's scandinavian:-)
"HotHardware has a performance preview posted..."
It's going to be a hot piece of hardware indeed...
Have we come to the point yet where a graphics card draw more power than the actual computer?
Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the BIOS of today backwards compatible with a lot of obsolete hardware that require the BIOS to still behave in a certain way? I belive there were hardware components that for example required that BIOS waited for a certain amount of time before processing some commands due to their startup time.
And as years has passed by new features have been added while the old ones are kept and at some point it's a unnecesarily messy code.
Last time I stacked harddrives *almost* that tight they started to act wierd after a few weeks.
After one drive failed I checked the diagnostics and it reported something like 60 degress centigrade from the discs in the middle of the stack. This looks like an even worse solution.

In Sweden we have had such system in place for many years.

I had a friend who worked in bank software.
What happend to him? What did they do?

Put a paper bag in one of those and you have just built your first vacuum cleaner...
I suggest you try Slackware with the raid-kernel raid.s
Well you also like David Hasselhoff, doesn't mean you're right.
