  1. nothing on How Google Routes Around Outages · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    dont waste time reading this, holzles core answer is: well, if there is a problem, we fix it. and after that, we analyse the reason. brilliant.

  2. same old story. on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    why? switch off css and huh? miles of navigation entries on the top of the page followed by images and forms. content comes after a decade of scrolling - this is bad for disabled persons with e.g. braille-terminals. shame.

  3. 3.5" cable select on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    the same old story over and over again: using 3.5" floppydrives with a twisted connector. the one half died, the other half killed every disk. long ago this was really expensive.

  4. enough? on MIT Technology Review Slams IPv6 · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Put another way, the switchover will result in roughly 5,000 addresses for every square micrometer of the Earth?s surface. There are so many IPv6 addresses that humanity will never run out of them?never, ever."

    just thinking of a thousand swarms of 600 billion nano-robots conquering the deserts of some evil country desperately seeking WMDs. we WILL run in trouble with these 128bit adress fields...

  5. coalition of the killing vs. hussein scum on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    ...another new world order to come. thank you, mr. bush - this is exactly what this planet needs.

  6. another storyline on The Riddle of Baghdad's Battery · · Score: 1

    FEISAL: And I must do it because the Turks have European guns, but I fear to do it; upon my soul, I do. The English have a great hunger for desolate places. I fear they hunger for Arabia. LAWRENCE: Then you must deny it to them. FEISAL: You are an Englishman. Are you not loyal to England? LAWRENCE: To England and to other things. FEISAL: To England and Arabia, both? And is that possible? I think you are another of these desert-loving English. Gordon of Khartoum. No Arab loves the desert. We love water and green trees. There's nothing in the desert. No man needs nothing. Or is it that you think we are something you can play with? Because we are little people; a silly people; greedy, and barbarous, and cruel. Do you know, Lieutenant, in the Arab city of Cordoba were two miles of public lighting in the streets when London was a village?

  7. this includes a hidden message on 3Com & Psion to Join Forces for Wireless Internet · · Score: 1

    it reads: buy a new machine every time the alliances are changin. and they often change.
