    Olisiko ollut sama vika kuin se, joka jumitti Soneran sähköpostitkin?

  • Soneran sähköpostit laajasti jumissa

    “Soneran sähköpostiliikenne pysähtyi keskiviikkona useiksi tunneiksi.[…] Tällä kertaa Soneran sähköpostiliikenne oli jumissa poikkeuksellisen laajasti, sillä laitevika oli Ruotsin Hammarbyssä. Vika katkaisi sähköpostiliikenteen sekä Suomessa että Ruotsissa. […]

    Katkenneesta sähköpostiliikenteestä tuli vihaista palautetta Soneran asiakaspalveluun pitkin päivää. Iltapäivällä kahden aikaan asiakaspalveluun oli muodostunut 45 minuutin jono.”

  • Drawing a circle with GIMP

    “One of the most common questions fielded from beginners concerning gimp is “how do I make a square/circle or other shapes.” The answer is not as easy as some other programs which have dedicated shape tools.”

    To be honest, I find it pathetic that posting something like this under such a title is not a joke. Yes, I know it’s an Image Manipulation Program and not a drawing app, but… come on, drawing elementary shapes is… elementary!

  • Feature from PC Magazine: Hard Drive Healers

    “When […] Ontrack engineers carried the [hard disk]drive into their clean room and opened it up, the head was damaged, and the platters were caked with dust and smoke residue. But a week later, the company sent us an e-mail. Its engineers had recovered 100 percent of the data.

    For Ontrack, it was just another week at the office. Apparently the company recovers data from fire-damaged drives all the time. And that’s one of the easier tasks. In 2003, Ontrack engineers successfully recovered files from a drive that arrived in Minnesota with a bullet hole in it. A few weeks later, they salvaged a disk that had spent three months at the bottom of a lake.”

    If you visit the site (and please don’t visit it right now), you get a WMF exploit sent to you right from the front page.”

  • Arctic Monkeys Sell Thousands on First Day

    “The Arctic Monkeys sold almost 120,000 copies of their debut album in a single day, and it may become one of the year’s top-sellers, retailers said. […]

    The British band shot from obscurity to fame in a matter of months, thanks partly to savvy use of the Internet to market their music to fans.”
