  1. WiFi on busses, trains, etc. on The Wi-Fi On the Bus · · Score: 1

    Most Estonian railroad and bus companies have had WiFi on them for years using Kõu (thunder). Loving it.

  2. Re:How do they know it's methane on Lake On Titan Winks From a Billion Kilometers Away · · Score: 1

    Spectrum analysis? Didn't RTFA.

  3. There already is a Gazelle out there. on Microsoft Research Showcases New Browser Prototype, "Gazelle" · · Score: 1

    What about Project Gazelle? Now that's something truly revolutionary. http://www.projectgazelle.org/

  4. How many of them can type on dvorak? on Keeping a PC Personal At School? · · Score: 1

    I have had similar issues. I used to do a lot of work in a coffeeshop that I frequently visited and I know most people who went there. So of course they asked me if they could use my computer. The thing is, that it has only dvorak layout installed (splitstreamed xp), so I could be honest and tell them that it's the only way they could type on it. If it was something truly urgent, I helped them out of course.

  5. Great! on Pentagon Clears Flying-Car Project For Takeoff · · Score: 1

    So DARPA finally hired a crazy German scientist with a foot fetish?

  7. Re:Stupid citizens on Citizens Demand To See Secret ACTA Treaty · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't be secret if you could see it, now would it. Now be patriotic and buy some $16 CDs. Otherwise Bin Laden wins!!!

    I wish CDs were so cheap here...

  8. Re:If you're going to live in the US ... on Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer? · · Score: 1

    Spanish only in Spain, and Spain is more of a Second World country. Neither will get you very far anywhere outside of those respective countries. It's not like the in the Americas -- people don't speak Spanish much in the EU -- other than tourist Spanish anyway... There are more Poles than Spaniards, you'd be better off learning that than Spanish. French is widely spoken. German is widely spoken (in fact, it has the highest number of native speakers of all languages in Europe)(though not always welcome). Russian is rarely spoken outside of Kaliningrad and Karlovy Vary, but is widely understood (though rarely very welcome.)

    What have you been smoking? Spanish is one of the best languages to learn. You can get along with Spanish in Portugal, France, Italy and of course in any Spanish speaking country in South- and Central America. Also in the U.S. and maybe Spain. German in the other hand, is only spoken in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
