  1. It doesn't have to be made easy on Europe To Force Right of Reply On Internet Communication · · Score: 1

    You can have a tiny link for replying, then someone can send you an email and say they want to have it posted on the website, if there even aware they can, and then all you need to do is throw it in with your next blog/etc.

  2. Quit on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    If the company is making drastic cutbacks on staff and/or pushing up the workload to a level which just can't be done without dangering your health, by either having to work though nights, not able to take sufficiant rest breaks etc, then quit.

    Company will run itself into the ground if it carries on pushing it's workers to hard, it's ok at first someone cuts one or two corners here and there, soon everyones cutting corners and things start to fall apart.

    Quit, and it'll make the companies death quicker and less painful, never know might be able to get every other department to buggeroff as well :)

  3. The reason for the cost of medical equipment on Build Your Own ECG · · Score: 1

    Reliability costs.

    Every component in the unit has to conform to medical standards for equipment, every program running has to be almost totally asured not to ever go wrong, and virtually every part of the system has to be totally reliable.

    PC, 99% reliability, cheep
    Server 99.999% reliability damn expensive
    Medical equipment... carry puting on those 9's cos someones gonna die.

  4. Re:I'm all for technology, but... on Geeking in the Third World · · Score: 1

    There's probably more money to be made out of poor people with computers than poor people without computers, so it's bound to be a good idea.

  5. Re:h*ll on Linus on DRM · · Score: 1

    Just don't start scaring children with the tales of the 9 levels of hull *shudder*

  6. Re:I know what they are! on SCO Claims Kernel Contains UnixWare Code · · Score: 1

    It's nothing to do with comments or vairable names, even in simple checking for copying between students at university, the first thing done is to take out all comments, clean the variable names to short a, b, c typt things and re-indent the whole code.

    Then you compare them, it's normally self-evident who copied who just from looking at it.

  7. Re:what aix code.... on SCO Threatens Red Hat and SuSE · · Score: 1

    JFS is from IBM, XFS is from Sun.

  11. The name? on A New Protocol For Faster Web Services? · · Score: 1

    I fear odpppr://www... will never catch on, surely they could have thought of a better less uguly name?

  12. Re:yeah right on Card Makers Say UK Citizens Want Biometric ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Fact that we shouln't be taking any first-hand, I'm sure they didn't ask for asylum in the first safe country they walked into, there normally traveling through europe to get to the UK, clearly theve traveled through a few save places, there just after money not fleeing horrors.

    The vast numbers mean we can't easilly find the legitimate clamants, how do you spot 1 person who's family has been tortured infront of them to 1000 who are faking it.

  14. Re:A lesson the Linux worlds needs to learn on Why VHS Was Better · · Score: 1

    Why do we care for popularity, why do we care to have every computer illeterate running Linux instead of Windows.

    oss doesn't need fame or fortune to survive it only needs the geeks, if the rest of the world wants what we have, they can come and join us, otherwise they can just stay in the stoneage :)

  15. Re:survival of the fittest on Why VHS Was Better · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but i'll be a cold day in hell when I let a VB is good for anything but the rubbish tip comment slide :)

    It's BASIC butchered in hidious ways :)

  19. Re:mplayer is da shit! on Windows Media Player 9 · · Score: 1

    It's still not recomended to use a binary distribution of mplayer, simply becaus of the vast ammount of hardware specific optimisations it makes, its very hard to get optimum preformance from a generic build.

  20. KDE.. on Dvorak: Linux too much like Windows · · Score: 1

    Linux is nothing like Windows, KDE might be a bit to much like windows but Linux is a Unix, Windows is erm a thing :)

  21. Though... on Fast CD-R Drives Make For Twice the Piracy · · Score: 1

    It's not much of a professional system they busted if there using cdrw drives, This copy of X legit? then erm why's the CD green?

    It sounds to me these guys are probably on the amateur scale really, dodgy copys of things at the local market next to the Daracel battries :)

  22. Here's hoping on OS/2 Going, Going... Gone · · Score: 1

    That once it's passed out of usefull life IBM will release parts if not all under the GPL for the geeks of the world to oggle at, And the sysadmins to install on users machines when they moan to much.

  23. I'm tempted... on First Desktop Computer To Use Intel's XScale · · Score: 1

    I'm a fan of RISC OS, so I'm definately biased, RISC OS has many problems, if I could get some form of decent file-shareing going with my other machines and had a better monitor to put on my current machine It'd probably see a lot more use.

    Will I rush out and buy one of these machines, probably not, but in a few years time when I'm earning a reasonable wage, I will probably head out and grab one, or a similar thing to it, possibly also a sexy LiLan case for it too :)

  24. Re:Interesting, but... on First Desktop Computer To Use Intel's XScale · · Score: 1

    It's not supposed to be anything, they can't afford to customise it for every application, so it's an all rounder, shame the ATX case they chocse looks like shit :)

  25. Re:Radiation levels on Chemotherapy Patients Set Off Subway Alarms · · Score: 1

    I dread to think what horrors lie in the subway, if we look close enough god knows what we might find.
