Maybe the US government can use these facebook money to make a new kind of facebook wall, (against Mexico)... Ahhh, the phuns

I live in Norway, still find DST silly. If we could just skip it, i think it would be better. Time is such a fundamental thing, and in todays 24/7 society, i don't think DST makes a lot of sense. There are also jobs where people work in the evening and can be outside in the sunshine during the day. It might also be possible to negotiate earlier working hours, like 7:00-15:00 which seems to be quite common for builders among other things. I think really that employers should try to let people work when they are most productive, and for some people, that is in the morning. I, myself, work better in the evenings, but I don't really expect to be able to change the working hours that much. I think that in theory, most companies would benefit from having flexible starting hours between 7:00 to 9:00, as well as their customers, since there might be more hours with people in the office, and at the same time gives a bit more freedom to the employees. Meetings and such should primarily be scheduled within the 09:00 - 15:00 interval, but can be pushed outside, if customers requests it and employees are available. Sounds reasonable?

I am an administrator and sometimes a developer. I must say that i really don't like java applets, and I kind of love Mozilla for taking java plugin support out of the browser as default. As long as this helps remove java plugins in the long run, i am all for it. And i really think Mozilla should have a big cudos from everyone, for taking the heat for this.

Slightly off-topic, but may I suggest that they install a serious fire-prevention system. If one of these robots caught fire, it could turn into an epic disaster...

I am actually quite lazy, but I just happen to spend a lot of time figuring out how I can make machines do my work...

Not for the lack of trying. Still waiting for the BrainGate arduino shield...

Ah, that depends on the resolution....

What is a "manual docking" anyway? Are they using paddles? Or maybe maneuvering by intertia provided by throwing wrenches around?

Catapult. Quick as hell...

buhu. We do not get beer served in our movie theaters.... :( Norway is strange this way...

Just out of curiosity; If there are actually anyone here on slashdot that supports SOPA, PIPA or any of those, what do you think? Speak up please. This could turn out to a very interesting thread

i know :)

Well, maybe the passengers should be required to remove the battery from their iphones and ipads in the future...

Well, frankly i see this as a loose-loose situation. Not only will these piracy laws cause problems for the consumers, but what will this really do to the pedophile-laws. Somehow i think this might also affect the way people look at pedophiles. Worst case scenario: "- So, i hear he was convicted for pedophily? -No, he just downloaded some movies, so i guess he is an OK fellow anyway...."
