Comment Re:Bed (Score 1) 460

It appears that the setup i have isn't in production anymore, but the ones below are very similar.

bed: http://www.ikea.com/no/no/catalog/products/S69849849 http://www.ikea.com/no/no/catalog/products/50156664 -- slightly different measurements
plus a thin (15-20 cm) mini-matres thingy on top to make it extra soft.

Oh, and sorry for not providing the link in english, but search the product name on your local IKEA, and you'll prolly find it.

It is by far the most comfortable bed i've ever slept in, and the ones who's slept in it agree with me. It's 200 x 180 cm of awesomeness.
I am currently undergoing a moving process from Norway to Ireland, and due to the comfyness of the bed, i decided to throw some extra money into the moving process and drive all of my stuff around europe, across the channel, and a few bridges and ferries along the way to be able to bring the bed to my new apartment.
A bed is a place where you spend approx 30% of your life, so in my opinion it is a severely underated upholstery.

Programming

Submission + - Who gets the unfinished software?

zaunuz writes: What happends to unfinished software, mainly consisting of bits and pieces of perl-code, if the company you wrote it for goes bankrupt? This might be the case where i currently work. For the past year i have been in charge of a fairly big project, but due to poor economical planning higher up in the system, it is quite possible that the company will die before me and my team are finished. If this happends, we would like to continue the project on our own, since it is fairly close to completion, and it would suck to just scrap what we've invested so many hours and cups of coffee into. The creditors are most likely to be the new owners of the code, however, do the creditors care about unfinished code? Afterall, first they'd have to understand what it does. After they've done that, they'd have to finish it themselves. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?
Networking

Submission + - divining the actual users who've viewed a webpage

Darkshin writes: "Um I will be honest this is a fool's errand. Please don't think little of me for asking what I am about to ask but first : reason. I blog quite a bit on *sigh* myspace. I posted a blog and then went into the "manage my blog" it had been less than thirty seconds and i already had 4 views...30 secs later it was eight. I checked back an hour later and one more viewing had occurred. However I thought it wierd that my PROFILE views had not gone up even once for all 9 of my blog views. So these "viewers" directly had to go into my blog bypassing the profile...(i think; there could be a coding aspect i am unaware of...) But my question is this...Is there any code that I can use to place a special counter in the HTML to not only track the # of views but relay the users ID of the viewers? And for the ID not just the IP or whatever but the actual myspace user...but I think I should need both because a viewer need not necessarily be a myspace registered user... Any and all help is most welcome I am a complete Noob when it comes to CS but I am learning...I mean come on it's my chosen major. Thank you"
Patents

Submission + - New Patent for keyboard video game control

deathy_epl+ccs writes: It's not real clear whether this guy's patent on controlling a video game using nothing but a keyboard's arrow keys is just a protest, a statement against the broken nature of the USPTO, or whether he genuinely believes he's managed to get a license to print money with the award of the patent, but we can at least take comfort that it wouldn't be likely to survive being challenged.

I first read about this over at GameSetWatch

Submission + - "Spam King" pleads guilty in U.S. federal

Monty writes: As previously reported by Cmdr Taco in February, 2006 (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/02/28/14 41229) looks like Adam Vitale finally decided to plead guilty (http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN 1120537620070611) to violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 in federal court in New York City. Is his cohort Moeller next?

Submission + - Open Source Is All About Choice, Isn't It? (devx.com)

AlexGr writes: "From Allan McNaughton (DevX): If you are an open source ISV seeking to offer your customers more choices, you should seriously consider supporting Microsoft Windows as a deployment option. Allan McNaughton explores some of the reasons that make partnering with Microsoft so compelling. Developers love choice. And open source developers have choice aplenty. There is a veritable avalanche of technologies that can be used to build open source applications. Of these technologies, the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) has emerged as one of the most popular open source development and deployment platforms. Open source ISVs who embrace LAMP technologies (SugarCRM for example), have gained legions of volunteer developers who contribute time, energy, and ideas (although for every open source success story there are hundreds of projects that never gain critical mass). http://www.devx.com/MicrosoftISV/Article/34632?trk =DXRSS_ENTR"
