  1. Re:none on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I went to a school where we got a laptop to use.
    We was bascially allowed to do anything except install games, commercial software and download illegal files.
    There was no webfiltering/monitoring on the pc but they used it in the school network and they filtered porn sites, torrent sites and such and also blocked im and p2p software.
    When I got home the computer had basically no restriction.
    I think it worked out pretty well.

  2. Re:Welcome to our world on Time Warner Cable Tries Metering Internet Use · · Score: 1

    I couldn't stand living in your world.
    I pay 30Euro/month for my internet 20mbit down and 3mbit up and its not the cheapest company either. Never been any major downtime only a few hours in total, I get up to 4 external dynamic IP addresses I can use and in the last 6 month I have uploaded 700-750 GB and downloaded around 400-500GB and I have experienced no throttling at all.
    Guess the ISP operate a little different here in Sweden.

  3. Re:Do those really stop anyone? on Game Developers Should Ignore Software Pirates · · Score: 1

    The copy protection for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory did its job quite good. If i remember correctly it took around 6 months before a cracked version was out on the scene. You could play it earlier but usually it was a bigger hassle that it was worth.

  4. Makes wonders for a local store though on Microsoft Insider Details Xbox 360 Red Ring Problems · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I got RROD a few months back but since I heard microsoft was slow on repairs I contacted a local console mod store. I payed 80, they fixed it and I got it the day after. Even got 1 year warranty on the repair. They makes alot of these repairs and makes a good amount of money from it. Most of their costumers are ones that have no warranty or wants it faster than the weeks it takes for microsoft to fix it.

  6. Re:Kudos for them on Companies Offer AAA Games For 'Free' · · Score: 1

    Agree but the ad version of far cry wont work. Strange that the retail game works fine but ad-version does not. Would definently play it if the ad-version worked in wine as good as the retail one do, but i guess its the ads fault. So it leaves me with 2 options. Get the retail game or disable the ads and hope it works but that kinda ruins the point with the free game.

  7. Re:to boldly go.... on Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace Rocket Crashes and Burns · · Score: 4, Informative

    This was how soviet was testing their rockets, by trial and error. They launched a prototype and then they looked how it flew and why it blew up if it did. Saw a documentary about soviet rocket engineering and in it some nasa guys said it was one of the mayor reasons why soviet was greatly ahead of USA in rockets.

  9. Why Teliasonera AB is in the US. on Gunplay Blamed For Cutting Fiber · · Score: 1

    My theory on why Teliasonera is involved. Teliasonera AB is one of the biggest (the biggest?) ISP in sweden. They are not only a major ISP it basically own most of the copper in sweden. So it probably own some fiber connections too. So it got a big net in sweden. Since the internet is international it probably have invested in networks in other parts of the world aswell. According to the article it doesnt own the particular fiber but it probably use it to attach its different networks across the world.

  10. Finally! on Uwe Boll Has Three Picture Distribution Deal · · Score: 2, Funny

    His movies gets the attention they deserves and I hope it atleast ends the overall negative publicity his movies gets. They may not be masterpieces but they definently are alot better than what many says.

  12. Around 5TB the past 5 months. on How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers? · · Score: 1

    I upgraded by broadband from 24mbit down and 1mbit up to 20mbit down and 3mbit up about 5 months ago and I have uploaded around 5TB in that time. I guess my monthly consumtion is more than 1TB/month since i download alot too. Never got any threats my ISP nor have I got cut off.
