  1. Re:13 x 2 â 28 on Bill Gates Remembers 1979 · · Score: 1

    13 Employees and 2 Directors......

  2. Re:Hmmmm ... on Some Overheating 3GS iPhones Glow Pink · · Score: 1

    Weird, it seems '+1 Funny' is the new '-1 Disagree'
    Unless there's a joke there I'm missing...

  3. Re:Not quite "free license" for cable operators... on High Court Allows Remote-Storage DVR System · · Score: 1

    unique copy of the relevant program

    And if the two unique copies are differently named hard links to the same data blocks?
    Do you think the legal system can differentiate between that and a duplicate set of data blocks?

  4. Re:BooHoo on iPhone Users Angry Over AT&T Upgrade Policy · · Score: -1, Redundant

    O rly? You modded and then posted, in the same thread? Did you read the rules?

  5. Re:and the pirates win again on Empirical Study Shows DRM Encourages Infringement · · Score: 1

    Sadly, today I have no mod points, the only time I've ever missed them.
    +1 Damn good idea

  6. Re:As a famous terrorist leader once said... on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sad you were modded 'Troll' for that, hopefully some sane people will get mod points soon.

  7. Re:hey Asus on Asus Slaps Linux In the Face · · Score: 1

    Asus UK site is at uk.asus.com
    Whois of Asus.co.uk shows it was registered by a private, non-trading UK individual.

    That was explained, pretty clearly, several posts up.

  8. Re:A Dying Breed on "Miraculous" Stem Cell Progress Reported In China · · Score: 1

    America views the value of most American lives as far more.

    Fixed that for you

  9. Re:Sesame Street & the Importance of Bilingual on Shouldn't Every Developer Understand English? · · Score: 1

    On top of that right can mean (at least) to things.

    There are more than two ways to write to, too ;)

  10. Re:And it's a statistics game... on US Adults Fail Basic Science Literacy · · Score: 1

    Except when the quiz was first posted the correct answer was marked as wrong
    So there's probably no way to know how many people got it right, without more information about the responses.

  11. Re:Mmmmm... No. on Accused Rogue Admin Terry Childs Makes His Case · · Score: 1

    If your boss demands a password, you have to give it, by law. If he demands you give it to another person, or 20 other people, you have to give it, by law.

  12. Re:Short answer on Repairing / Establishing Online Reputation? · · Score: 1

    I guess the OP is from the UK, where 'Welfare' is called the 'Dole'.

    And no, I don't know why :)

  13. Re:Before you start screaming about this. on Torvalds Rejects One-Size-Fits-All Linux · · Score: 1

    A desktop system is antithetical to a centralized software repository.

    But as soon as you go the other Windows way you'll turn all those Linux boxes into spam spewing zombies.
    The Package Repository is the one thing that obviates the need to install random software from untrusted sources.

  14. Re:Guessing how this is going to turn out... on Google Privacy Counsel Facing Criminal Charges · · Score: 1

    If that means they have to screen content before they put it up for the public to view, so be it.

    What a wonderful idea: Google, Internet Censor for the World.
    Perhaps blogspot could pre-screen entries before they publish them, in case anyone wrote anything subversive? How about flikr, myspace, facebook? Perhaps Slashdot should filter crap too?

    What is so difficult to understand about User Generated Content?

  15. Re:TCP/IP Optimization on Ubuntu Download Speeds Beat Windows XP's · · Score: 1

    And doesn't XP have that QOS crap switched on by default?

  16. Re:Who cares? on Ubuntu 9.04 Daily Build Boots In 21.4 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Places achieving 4 or 5 nines are using clusters or at least redundant servers.
    They don't care about shaving 30secs of the boot time.

    Having said that, I loved the work on the netbook. Would be great to see it in the mainstream distros :)

  17. Re:My gmail is backed up.. on Protection From Online Eviction? · · Score: 1

    Don't you know how to use Fetchmail then?

  18. Re:We know where you are. on Blu-ray Update Sent To User Via Credit Card Records · · Score: 1

    And yet the wiki page you reference clearly states that the comma is optional.
    So you're both wrong, OP can suit him(her)self.

  19. Re:Is this the "charity" in question? on State Secrets Defense Rejected In Wiretapping Case · · Score: 1

    So, trial by wikifiddler now?

  20. Re:Install mac os-x on Configuring a Windows PC For a Senior Citizen? · · Score: 1

    One server, two desktops, two laptops?
    3 new employees?

    I have about 5 PCs/laptops/notebooks myself, why not?

    I'd hope you know all your lovers personally!

    Oh wait

    And I bet you still didn't get her in the sack ;)

  23. Re:Time for Australia to Fall Off on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 1

    I never thought I'd want to leave oz, but I'm getting there now.

    For a long time I wanted to leave the UK to go to oz, sadly the US is beginning to look more appealing now.

  24. Re:subverting the system on Top Microsoft Execs Moonlighting For a Patent Bully · · Score: 1

    Surely then, if their ideas can be found in published literature, the prior art defense would invalidate the patent?

  25. Re:How relevant is it now? on OLPC's "Give 1 Get 1" Comes To Europe · · Score: 1

    Typical, no mods points when I need them: +1 Harsh Reality
