Comment This is just freaking amazing! (Score 1) 146

I don't care for the year but this just looks so much cooler than photoshop, I just love that scanline distortion happening during frame drawing :)

I am a sucker for these kind of devices, just like the modeller that was used in making of the star wars 3d wireframe deathstar model.

Soviet hardware design style rules, everything looks like from a sci-fi movie.

The more ads the better, I love advertisements !
I especially love those forced flash-video ads that contain products that they don't even sell in this country.

This is really getting close to the typical dystopic visions of a future where they forcefeed ads in to your brains.
Not even money will let you escape them.
Soon you will need a camera in front of your set that makes sure that you are actually sitting in front of it and watching the ads.

Will not likely take long for the other companies to adopt something similiar like this.

Like 4channers ddosing wasn't already enough. Now the sites will suffer from the slashdot effect as well. Not that all this matters to me. I feel bad for the admins as they will get all the trouble and chaos. Ddosers likely think that they are attacking the big corporate giants but instead it's just the network admins who get all the shit and still desperately try to keep the sites up.

Comment I think this has already been done in finland. (Score 4, Interesting) 213

I didn't completely RTFA, but.. If this works anything like the same way it does in here, it basically redirects you to a generic page where you can download virus / etc checks and fix your system. You can't simply reach other places (or no connection with other protocols) in that state. The ISP has basically just IP blocked you at that point (other systems under the same connection function like normal). The ISP also re-checks your system every hour or two to see if the issue has been resolved. This is also explained in the page with more detail. If it follows the same formula then I am all for it due to it working flawlessly so far. No false alarms so far in my rather heavy use. Oh yes, and I first ran into this on 2004.

The guys must get tons of orders each day and even hoax orders grow exponentially with increased popularity. I still have the old 5.10 discs around that introduced me and my friend to Ubuntu. But now with the increased internet connections and quick downloads speeds you can get it very fast and even use 'in-windows' installers in case you do not have a cd/usb stick to put the installer in.

I bet that the guys are looking at the clock to see when it's the earliest possible moment to announce it to grab more money. These must be a good way to get some more money from some cut content. Stuff that they planned the game to have from the start.
