  1. Other semantic web browsers/apps on University Launches Semantic Web Interface · · Score: 2, Informative

  2. Re:Indeed on Eisenstadt's Analysis Of 8 Years' Worth Of Email · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As the From: address usually is forged they will just bounce to the forged address. So most spammers don't check if the mails arrive or not, they can use that bandwidth for sending more spam.

    I've given up trying to not get spam, I filter it instead. Usually it's aroung ~400-500 spams/day.

    I've only saved all my legitimate email for the last 10 years though :)

  3. Re:If you really want X.org in debian: on X.Org 6.8.2 is Out · · Score: 1

    I'm running that right now. works like a charm.

    Even have OpenGL running using only opensource drivers (didn't have to modify settings, it just worked). but that is using a radeon 9200, one of the few cards that are supported without proprietary shit.

    only x.org 6.8.1 though

  4. Re:Wow on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 1

    but most other browsers (even IE for mac) has had it for far more than 1.5 years. so even that isn't an excuse.

  5. Re:How can you take seriously the "Lower TCO" clai on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 1
    Most admin tasks on windows can be done via Telnet. Hell, as you well know you can run BASH and SSH if you feel like it. A "good" admin can deal with as many Unix systems as Windows systems.

    do you use some terminal regedit or what? I think it would be pretty difficult to start/stop drivers, change config files or network settings trough telnet on a windows server.

  6. Re:Man screw that on The NeXT-Best Thing: GNUSTEP 0.9.4 Live CD · · Score: 1

    getting Obj-C++ support into GCC would also take away a big hassle when porting Cocoa apps.

  7. Re:yeah... but it looks like its from the 80s on The NeXT-Best Thing: GNUSTEP 0.9.4 Live CD · · Score: 1

    funny, I think it's the opposite. the osx one looks like a light grey blur. but I suppose it has to do with opinion.
    so why not check out this page for gnustep "skins":

  8. Re:Energy release on Quake and Tsunami Devastate South Asia · · Score: 3, Interesting

    my encyclopedia (a swedish one) says the energy released from a 9.0 earthquake is a bit more than the annual energy consumption of sweden (9 million inhabitants).

  9. Re:6300 dead at 15:13 GMT on Quake and Tsunami Devastate South Asia · · Score: 1

    the energy released in a 8.9 earthquake is more than the total annual energy consumption of Sweden (9 million inhabitants). to give a bit of comparison :)

  10. Re:Yeah, it doesn't "nag"... on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    but basically everyone had noclick installed :)

  11. Re:Still an Opera user... on Opera Facing Losses While Firefox Usage Grows · · Score: 1

    full page zoom for example. resizes images and tabled and such, not just the text.

  12. Charset support on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hotmail is unusable anyway as long as it only supports receiving mails in ISO-8859-1. It silently ignores the charset defined in the mail headers.

    2gb is nice though. But I already have a real mail server with ~10GB storage :)

  13. Re:Time to move to Mach-o on SCO Claims Linux Lifted ELF · · Score: 1

    it has drivers in the kernel but userspace filesystem servers.

    so, a semi-microkernel. /Erik

  14. Re:My Win desktop already runs *nix code... on Unix To Beef Up Longhorn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about LINE?

    From the homepage:
    LINE Is Not an Emulator
    LINE executes unmodified Linux applications on Windows by intercepting Linux system calls. The Linux applications themselves are not emulated. They run directly on the CPU just like all other Windows applications.

  15. Re:ATA-100 only ? on Hitachi Announces 400GB Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Informative

    Usually a lot more data is in the memory cache (usually around 400MB for me). So the odds that data would be in the HD cache and not in the memory cache are pretty low, which makes big HD caches useless. /Erik

  16. Defined as 2Mbps in Sweden on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 1

    In Sweden the government has defined broadband as 2Mbps full duplex. I think that's a pretty reasonable speed to define it as. /Erik

  17. Re:Will they have to change the name? on GNU/Hurd Delayed To Fix Disk Size, Serial I/O Limitations · · Score: 1

    switching machs will produce a usable system with a few months work. while switching to l4 takes at least 10 times more work.

  18. Re:cool! on GNU/Hurd Delayed To Fix Disk Size, Serial I/O Limitations · · Score: 1

    they still run in kernelspace, not in userspace like in a microkernel. so it makes linux a bit more modular, but not less monolithic. /Erik

  19. IRCnet is bigger on EFNet Reaches 100,000 Concurrent Connections · · Score: 4, Informative
    According to this statistics page, not only is IRCnet bigger than EFNet, but it also has had over 100,000 users for some time now.

  22. Re:Thank God! on GCC 3.2 Released · · Score: 1

    As 95% of all stuff is made in C, you wouldn't have had much to recompile. On my computer 1 or 2 applications/libraries are made in C++. /Erik

    well, If they've removed the Copyright and only assigned it to themselves. they can just as well remove the license at any time. /Erik

  24. Re:Opeth - Blackwater Park on Audio Format Listening Tests Concluded · · Score: 1

    I wasn't very impressed by the selection of music at all. Sure, that song has it's place in this test. But there was not a single song representing the type of music I listen to.

    I listen to synth music, like Welle:Erdball, Covenant, Beborn Beton etc.

    I'd like the test to include a song that contains triangle waveforms. /Erik

  25. Re:Sum it up on Cell Phones: Japan vs. the United States · · Score: 2, Informative

    5. US has FAR higher ratio of PC owners than Japan. So many features like email/messaging are done from PC.

    I don't think this matters much. Finland and Sweden have a higher ratio of PC owners than US and both those countries have far more cell phone owners than US (and Japan).
