Submission + - Google Maps-to-Panoramio links broken

thered2001 writes: The link between maps.google.com and the photo hosting website Panoramio.com seems to be broken. Wikipedia links also seem to be down. The linking is enabled by choosing the "Photos" and "Wikipedia" options in the "More..." popup. The condition seems to have begun Saturday evening. Hard to imagine something like this being down for more than 24 hours!

Comment Re:I guess this article had its intended effect... (Score 1) 762

This was covered in Car & Driver a couple months ago (before it passed.) At the time, I seem to recall it was only going to be required for dark-colored cars. Or was it that dark-colored cars were also going to be banned or surcharged? (Damn, it sucks to get old and have an afternoon vodka-drinking habit.)

Comment "The main problem" (Score 1) 11

Yes, it's shocking they're not dealing with the main problem: shrubberies. Or rabbits with an appetite. Clearly the Swedish government needs to either, (a) rip all the greenery from the Stockholm parks and public areas in a preemptive strike (resulting in lots of starved rabbit carcasses for fuel) or, (b) set up a research program to develop rabbits which don't eat. I think it's obvious which would be best and benefit all mankind...but will they have the nerve?

Submission + - Sveasoft Domain Dissappears

mache writes: After an absence of forum postings by sole owner and head developer James Ewing since early September, the Sveasoft domain now points to a GoDaddy.com parking notification — http://www.sveasoft.com/ . While subscribers were increasingly concerned about Ewing's absence, this new development increases the gravity of the situation and concern for the future of the Talisman firmware release. Sveasoft develops Wi-Fi router firmware for selected Linux-based routers including ones from ASUS, Belkin, Buffalo Technology, Linksys, and Netgear. For more information about Sveasoft visit the wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveasoft.

Submission + - Funtoo to replace GPL with MS-PL (google.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Funtoo (Created by Daniel Robbins, the founder of the Gentoo Foundation, and the Gentoo Linux Distribution) will embrace the 3-clause BSDL, and the OSI-Approved MS-Pl (Microsoft Public License). Daniel was at one point employed by Microsoft to help them understand Open Source. Good, bad, ugly, it doesn't matter, World War 3 will begin below shortly.

Submission + - Intel caught cheating in 3DMark benchmark (techreport.com) 3

EconolineCrush writes: 3DMark Vantage developer Futuremark has clear guidelines for what sort of driver optimizations are permitted with its graphics benchmark. Intel's current Windows 7 drivers appear to be in direct violation, offloading the graphics workload onto the CPU to artificially inflate scores for the company's integrated graphics chipsets. The Tech Report lays out the evidence, along with Intel's response, and illustrates that 3DMark scores don't necessarily track with game performance, anyway.
