  1. Re:But this is only 2% of total power generated on 86 Percent of New Power in Europe From Renewable Sources in 2016 (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Not really the right direction.
    Modern nuclear is just about the only reasonable option. Really.

    (Ref. Michael Schellenbergers TED-talk, Sunniva Rose's TEDx-talk, Pandoras Promise, Youtube: "thorium remix", etc...)

  2. Re:Synergy + Monitor Inputs on Ask Slashdot: Advanced KVM Switch? · · Score: 0

    Yup, Synergy would be my choice as well.

    But.
    If the computers are on the same network, one could use PC1 as base and use RDP / VNC to display the screens of the computers when needed.

  3. I wish they would go for nuclear instead. on Clinton Plan To Power Every US Home With Renewables By 2027 Is Achievable · · Score: 0

    No, not the current breed of dangerous water-cooled reactors.
    LFTR FTW! ...or even better, run the world on nuclear waste for the next 50+ years.

  4. Re:Cheating on PS3 Hacked? · · Score: 0

    Regarding the limited PC.

    It's already done, it's called The Mac.
    Well, almost.

    The iPhone is like that. Still, I don't think there are any limitations to where you want to call.

  5. It works elsewhere. on Landmark Health Insurance Bill Passes House · · Score: 0

    It seems public health insurance works in other communist(?) states, like (in no specific order) Norway, France, Sweden, Canada, the UK and so on... Insurance companies are evil by default, they want to KEEP your money.

  6. Re:Fix from article on Will the Earth's Tail Fry Moon Visitors? · · Score: -1, Troll

    The space race did cost _a lot_ of money, making the superpowers basically bankrupt. Maybe they just wanted to end it?

    The Fox documentary was after all Fox, the channel of all lies, but not so long ago, NASA said they had misplaced/lost the original photos of the lunar landing. That's just too much.

    Besides, the reason for the Vietnam war was fake, as for the Iraq war, so why would this be different?

  7. Re:Fix from article on Will the Earth's Tail Fry Moon Visitors? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What's fun about that? I think it's really depressing and dissappointing to realize it was all a hoax in the first place.

    I wonder if we'll ever go there.

  8. Back to? on Will China Beat the United States Back to the Moon? · · Score: 0

    I still can't believe people think we've been there in the first place.
    It's almost as absurd as believing there's a God, and that humanity began with Adam and Eve.

  9. Companies make money. on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 0

    In Sweden, the system used to be more like the canadian, but slowly and surely it is being commercialized. Not that the people wants it, but there is money to be made.

    Companies make money. That is usually their "main thing". The way to get there differs though. The "Healthcare Giants" are companies. You see the problem here?

  10. What's all the fuzz about? on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 0
    I got my first Mac (Macbook Pro) this january. Nice hardware, nice specs.
    I consider myself a somewhat hardcore Linux dude, and after a month of Mac OS X usage, I am not impressed.
    Maybe it helps if I learn the 287,3 keyboard shortcuts, or brainwash myself for another couple of months. Time will show, unless I choose to install Linux first.

    I SO wanted to be a switcher, but I'm not impressed. At all. :(

  11. But for us skepticals... on The World's Deepest Dinosaur · · Score: 0

    Right. If there actually is a landing site.

    Considering all the things governments have done before, why should we beleive we've ever been to the moon?

    Can someone explain how the lines on the hasselblad camera appears BEHIND the astronaut?

    Anyway, cool to find dinosaur remains that deep. Maybe the earths crust pushed down so far below.

  12. Ok, so the ROKR is a failure, but there is w800i on Did Apple Sabotage the ROKR? · · Score: 0

    I have a SonyEricsson W800i, and I am very pleased with it.
    OK, I have to admit
    It's not the best mp3 player. Being used to my 20GB jukebox, the default 512MB is somewhat limited.
    It's not the best camera. However, it's always with me. Almost.
    It's not the best phone. But it has an mp3-player and a nice camera. :)

    So it is a really good thing(tm) altogether.

  13. Services from the providers in .se, .no and .fi on Your Cell Phone Is Tracking You · · Score: 0

    Similar services has been available for years in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. They are not so accurate as GPS, but can normally give you a good hunch about where you are.

    The technique usues a system connected to the cellular network and instead of the more complex (and accurate) triangulation, it uses the time between the phone and the cell it is connected to, and calculates a sector where you most probably are.

    In rural areas it is much less accurate, of course, since there is a greater distance between the antennas, so the sector can be quite large and give you results a few kilometers wrong.

    The providers have things like "friendfinder" and virtual paintball "botfighters" aswell as fleet management (you can see where your cars/people are).

  14. Radiolan in �lvsbyn aswell on High-Speed Wireless LANs Move Forward · · Score: 1

    We have a wavelan 802.11b network at my village in northern Sweden aswell.
    At the present, I am satisfied with it, but time will show whether the latency will increase drastically with the number of users.

    However, it is still the most cost-effective way to connect all the stand-alone houses to the internet with some amount of speed.

    Considering that the available alternatives still are ISDN and modem, the radio-lan is a very nice solution. The only backside to it seems to be the cost of the hardware.

    B.t.w... is the 802.11b cards able to speak with other 802.11b cards from other manufacturers?
    Lucent/Nokia/Symbol/etc...

  15. Uhh... am I missing something? on MP3/MD Combo Player · · Score: 1
    Isn't this sharp md just a normal md with a cable to the pc?

    Isn't it just a software that plays the music to be re-recorded into the MD just like as if I'd record it from my CD?

    Why have I waited for the next generation of mp3-players?

    I want it to be able to load my mp3's and files fast (not the parallell port), and fit atleast an our of good quality music.

    But... this sharp thingy is just another md, isn't it? Still moving parts, still compression with loss (cannot be used for data transports). I can't download a file from mp3.com at work, and unload it at home without having to recompress it to mp3 (with loss).

    Or is it just me who just didn't understand the function of the thing?

    Jeez... comeon... uncompress mp3's with winamp/xmms and record it through your soundcard... Hey, I can do that with my cassette walkman aswell!
