  1. Re:No one is safe from the "oops" bug on Apple OS X 10.5.6 Update Breaks Some MacBook Pros · · Score: 1

    Hey, good tip, thanks a million. That has definitely saved me driving down to the smoke next week. Cheers :-)

  2. Re:No one is safe from the "oops" bug on Apple OS X 10.5.6 Update Breaks Some MacBook Pros · · Score: 5, Funny

    True, my AppleTV iBricked itself after the last "update". The only solution is to take it to your local Apple Store for a factory reset. Trouble is, my nearest Apple Store is 160 miles away. :-(

  3. UK culture secretary Andy Burnham on UK Culture Secretary Wants Website Ratings, Censorship · · Score: 1

    We have a Minister for Culture? WTF?

    More snouts in the bloody trough. Bah.

  4. Re:Hormel and Adobe on Netbooks Popular Enough For a C&D From Psion · · Score: 1

    Its a pity that this intel netbook crowd didn't learn more lessons from Psion about how to create workable small scale computers.

    Indeed, I'm still using my Series 5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_5 daily.

  5. They aren't suing.. on Netbooks Popular Enough For a C&D From Psion · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's just a Cease & Desist letter. They have also, reasonably IMHO, given them 3 months to stop using their Trademark.

  6. Re:Easy solution on Netbooks Popular Enough For a C&D From Psion · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually it's not garbage, they own the Trademark and are entitled to protect it.

    This is not some dodgy submarine "patent", it's well established Trademark law. Any commercial operation in the same situation would do the same. Even /.

  7. I, for one, am not part of the long tail.. on Doubts Multiply About the "Long Tail" · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I stopped buying CDs when the music companies started sueing their own customers.

    So I'm not even part of the fat root :-)

  8. Re:Those Finns are dedicated on Blood From Mosquito Traps Car Thief · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Agree, my car was stolen, whilst parked next to an occupied Police car, I was only away from it for about 10 minutes. Did I get any assistance? Nope. They "Didn't see anything". Good old Hampshire Constabulary.

    I got it back about 3 weeks later, well "got it back" isn't quite accurate, it was a burnt out wreck. Guess who had to pay for it to be removed.

  9. The only negative in the review: Pricey on Dell's XPS 730x Core I7 Gaming System Reviewed · · Score: 0

    I'll have two then...

  10. It's so unfair.... on Warner Music Pulls Videos Off YouTube · · Score: 1

    To have to pay artists, it severely reduces their coke & whores budget.

    It's about time these leeches were kicked into touch.

  11. Re:Help.. on Recession Pushes IT To Find New Value In Old Gear · · Score: 1

    Aaah, that explains it. It was thrown in free, but you'd think that spending $40,000 on the Catalyst would have got me Ultimate not basic. Bloody cheapskates eh?.

    D'ya think I should try that new-fangled Linux wotsit?

  12. Re:Help.. on Recession Pushes IT To Find New Value In Old Gear · · Score: 3, Funny

    You should be using Vista obviously.

    Vista won't install on the Cat 7000 I just bought from a firesale. OMG what should I do???? {:-)

    happy holidays.

    What's that all about? It's Christmas isn't it? I really hate this PC crap, my Brother-in-Law (Muslim) doesn't say happy bloody holidays at Eid.

  16. What next? on Australian Court Lets Lawyer Serve Papers Via Facebook · · Score: 1

    A flushing WC in the woods for our friends of the Ursine persuasion?

  17. Nope on Wiretap Whistleblower, a Life in Limbo? · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one to notice the irony of having a guy named Agent Lawless at the Justice Department?

    Think we all did :-)

  18. Even those with the attention span of a goldfish on The Wackiest Technology Tales of 2008 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Would get bored with the article.

    Even the slides were boring.

  19. 21m$ 210m$ doesn't matter on Photos of the Damage To the Large Hadron Collider · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is too important to worry about some loose change (in the grand scheme of the LHC) the most important aspect is the lost time.

    The sooner they get back on track (geddit) the better :-)

  20. Soooo.... on Apple's 3D Desktop Patent Filing Examined · · Score: 0

    3D "effects" on a 2D interface is patentable. Pull the other one.

    Another instance of the patent system gone mad.

    However, this is /. not groklaw, so I won't be deleted :-)

    So, stuff you, Groklaw shills, troll somewhere else. Anonymously of course.

    hush your mouth my puppy, if this really were groklaw, you'd have just been deleted.

  25. I agree on Groklaw's PJ Says SCO's Demise Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 0, Troll

    The second "groklaw" story in 3 hours. What gives? is someone being paid to plant them?.

    Most /.'ers stopped reading groklaw when they saw the type of deleting^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H moderating that goes on over there.

    Who cares any more? It was a decent site once, however, when they started just deleting dissenting voices. Nuff said.
