  1. Re:anybody? on New York Decision On ODF Vs. OOXML Approaching · · Score: 1

    Of course we're surprised. But don't let your surprise stop you objecting to "OOXMLWTF?"

  2. Phew, good job it's far away on Black Hole Blasts Neighbor Galaxy with Deadly Jet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Imagine that on a Boeing, you wouldn't have to worry about collateral damage, there'd be nothing remotely collateral left :-)

  3. What's the MTU of your average Bee? on Bees Can Optimize Internet Bottlenecks · · Score: 1

    It's also cruel. But more to the point; what's the MTU of your average Bee?

  4. Somebody needs to. on RIAA Backs Down On "Unlicensed Investigator" · · Score: 1

    And quick.

  5. Re:The NET Act Made it Criminal (sometimes) on DOJ Doesn't Like the Idea of A Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    Please politics out. I'm in the UK, so your presidential race has as much interest to me as a loogie on the toilet wall. OTOH, I quite fancy Courtney Cox :-)

  6. Re:The NET Act Made it Criminal (sometimes) on DOJ Doesn't Like the Idea of A Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    Thank you, much appreciated :-) I had really forgotten. {:^)

  7. Re:The NET Act Made it Criminal (sometimes) on DOJ Doesn't Like the Idea of A Copyright Czar · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Politicians don't think. There is no opportunity to think when you are on the greasy pole. If you stop the frantic climbing you slide down.

    Politician as a career should be banned.

    Politics as a degree course should be banned.

    Can everyone see the obscenity that is a "career politician". Originally politicians were people who had had experience, with life, work, industry etc. etc. & who came to politics later in life. Now you get spotty gits deciding, at age 3, to become a politician (because you get your picture in the paper lots & get lots of money) and it beats working.

    Terry Pratchett, in his four ecks book - can't remember the title - has politicians placed in jail immediately on election. Now, Slashdot, THAT'S "INSIGHTFUL". Sorry for shouting :-)

  8. These people need to get real on DOJ Doesn't Like the Idea of A Copyright Czar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Copyright infringement is a civil offence. Nuff said.

  9. Targetting on Boeing 12,000lb Chemical Laser Set to Fry Targets · · Score: 4, Funny

    Little or no collateral damage? Depends on the accuracy really.

  10. I, for one, welcome on The Future of AJAX and the Rich Web · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Our Ajax overlords :^D Couldn't resist...

  11. Re:Proper Ethanol on Kidney Cells Make Implantable Power Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree. I find it obscene that turning "food" into fuel is subsidised when there are starving people in the world.

  12. Genius on EVE-Online Patch Makes XP Unbootable · · Score: 0

    EVE programmer1: Let's delete boot.ini EVE Programmer2: Great idea, man, should speed things up. Do it. Duh.

  13. Whilst you are reading TFA on An Acerbic Look At the Future of Reading · · Score: 1

    Ponder on the future of reading.......

  14. Yay2! on Carnegie Mellon's Digital Library Exceeds 1.5 Million Books · · Score: 1

    We can access them online. Don't need no stinkin' library ticket :-)

  15. Release bombs at supersonic speeds? on USAF Launch Supersonic Bomb Firing Technology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We miss often enough at sub-sonic speeds. Great.

  16. Re:So... on Stay Lifted, Novell Vs. SCO Can Go Forward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Had SCO chosen an opponent with shallower pockets, the system would probably have failed. Having said that, it's still good news :-)

  17. So if I stop looking? on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will it revert?

    Or will it turn into a dead cat in a box :-)

  18. Small change on The 110 Million Dollar Button · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Has anyone here ever used the "I'm feeling lucky" button. I think I did once in 1999. Usually it's the second or third result that's the most relevant.

  19. OOXML The best "standard" money can buy on Ecma Receives 3,522 Comments on Open XML Standards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How much more will it cost them this time?

  20. Re:Two faced on The Pirate Bay Facing "Old Fashioned" Pressure · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Prince didn't "give away" his latest album, the Daily Mail gave away his album. Prince was paid, quite handsomely I fancy, for the dubious honour.

    NeilG

    PS I burnt mine :-)

    No worries :-)

  23. Silly sod on BBC "Not In Bed With Bill Gates" · · Score: 0

    Claims that there's only 4-600 Linux users accessing the BBC web site! I think he needs to come clean with the web stats.

  24. Re:Obviously... on Battery Powered Tram Charges in 60 Seconds · · Score: 0

    And it runs on Vista. Noooooo.

  25. Re:Before someone asks on Review of Asus Linux-Based Eee PC 701 · · Score: 0

    The Eee PC is theoretically fast enough to run Windows XP, which is great news for those of us without beards.

    Beards?
