  1. uhm, no on Space Station Crew Lands Safely In Kazakhstan · · Score: 1

  3. bavarian romantic verse on Wikipedia Planning a DVD Version · · Score: 1

    trust me, it is very good, that there is no such entry. bavarian poetry is nearly always worse than vogon poetry and in the written form you can even understand it.

    in the spoken form the things are different, though, because nobody understands bavarians.

    no no, it is all about the rule number one: no poofters ;-)

  5. Re:Not far behind on Space Shuttle Goes Back to Work · · Score: 2, Informative

    wrong, absolutely wrong.

    the soyuz launch vehicle is a version of the r-7 icbm (actually world's first icbm) which had its maiden flight in 1957.

    the soyuz spacecraft was actually a heavily modified voshod, which was a heavily modified vostok (first launch afair in 1961)

    first soyuz launch was in 1966, first apollo launch was in 1967.

    no copies there, sorry.

  7. Re:Wind up alarm clock in the closet on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 1

    so there is an easy solution to both problems.

    get an electronic switch, set it as alarm clock switching a lamp shining at your face on at a given time. preferably use a vey bright lightbulb with 5000-6000 kelvin colour temperature.

    best alarm clock ever.

  8. you will laugh, but on A History of Icons · · Score: 2, Informative

    many of those windows animations, like for example this small animation when deleting files to the recycle bin, are avi files.

    if you want to try a really good chocolate, try lindt

  16. Re:Mudflap on GCC 4.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    if you are into win32 programming, take delphi. great language, great safety, fast code

  17. haali reader on Uses and Software for a Modern PocketPC PDA? · · Score: 1

    for reading books in txt format.

  18. bit of nitpicking on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 1

    first, rpg is russian for ruchnoy protivotankovy granatomet - portable antitank-grenade launcher. such things are called bazookas in usa, as far as i know.

    second, do you really think, palestinian villages own tanks? because shaped charges are only used for penetrating armor, they are practically useless against people.

    tere :-)

    well, i sometimes try to learn it again, absolutely voluntarily. mainly because i am vene, living in saksamaa for more than a decade, but born and grown up in tallinn. because i like the sound of estonian and because i love estonia.
