  1. Re:Anybody but me who noticed... on WikiLeaks To Ship Servers To Micronation of Sealand? · · Score: 1

    They are just trying to scare people. They love making out that Fox are only trustworthy source of information. It keeps their cult-like following cult-like.

    +1 shenanigans. Bottom line is that mad Murdoch hates alternative media companies.

  3. Re:Virtualization on German Foreign Office Going Back To Windows · · Score: 1

    Virtualized operating systems cannot always communicate with hardware properly and run very slowly.

    it's always everyone elses fault isn't it?? Linux fanboys just wont accept that their precious little OS in incompatible with many, many hardware devices.

    maybe for people in the US... For the rest of the world it's not that big a deal.

  8. Re:small impact, android will trump on Verizon iPhone Rumored For Early Next Year · · Score: 1

    The HTC Desire is way more beautiful than the Iphone 4. My boss showed me his Iphone 4 and it looked like crap compared to my Desire.

  9. Because The Processor Sucks? on The Genius In Apple's Vertical Platform · · Score: 0, Troll

    Most other pads have an Atom processor and can process anything that a netbook can. Apple are really lacking when it comes to hardware and software in the Ipad. It's like they are using technology from 5 or 6 years ago and claiming it to be new. Wifi and a rubbush pda are nothing new Apple, get with the times.

  10. Re:Open Office is there on MS Issues Word Patch To Comply With Court Order · · Score: 1

    What exactly are MS Office skills?

    Depends how technical you want to get. Most people only know the basics, but power users can do alot more using formulas, mail-merges, macros, VBA etc. Then there's SQL which can be used alongside Access, not to mention database normalisation etc. Office can be quite technical if you look at some of the deeper parts of it. It's not just bold, italics and paragraphs, it's actually quite a powerful system if you do your research.

  11. And the Linux ads? on A Decade of Dreadful Microsoft Ads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They were pretty bad too... The commercial with the little kid being brainwashed by Linux fanboys? The Obvious advertisng winners of the 00's were clearly Apple. They got the memorable TV ads and also got the word of mouth thing right. Linux and Micrsoft were the epic failures of the last decade, more so toward the end of the decade.

    ChromeOS is the ultimate spyware

  13. Sound on Linux Sucks on Google Eliminates Gizmo5 Client For Linux · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm not surprised that companies are avoiding wrting audio software for Linux. Audio on Linux is terrible. It's the worst major operating system for sound engineering.

  14. Re:Inside the (Corp.) Firewall no one can ... on The Real-World State of Windows Use · · Score: 1

    The problem is that IE7 and 8 are more resource intensive than version 6. Companies using older hardware would struggle to run tabbed browsers. Yes, they should probably upgrade their hardware, but not every company can afford to do that.

    To be fair AIB did pretty good compared to the British banks like RBS.

    I think I remember someone else talking about Joe six-pack... She tried to make the big time and failed miserably

  23. Re:Not capping, investing on First European Provider To Break Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    One of my colleagues in work got a letter from Virgin saying they were going to slow his internet down at peak periods because he was downloading stuff. This invalidated their contract with him so he left them and got a different ISP. I have been using NTL/Virgin for 9 years and have to say things went downhill when Virgin took over, but they aren't too bad if you stay legal. The cable is pretty good if you run a web server because your ip address hardly ever changes.

    Only old people in Britain use imperial. Kids have been learning metric as the main system for decades. Pretty much the only imperial measurement that is still used on a regular basis in the UK is the mile.
