  1. Surely the healthiest option on Apps For Healthy Kids — Where PC Meets PCs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Would be to not let "Kids" near a PC.

  2. Football man, Football!! on YouTube Gets a Vuvuzela Button (Seriously) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That bastardised version of the blessed game Rugby, that Americans call Football, should really be called Throwball.. :-)

  3. Re:Guinnes? on Judge Rejects SCO's Motion For a New Trial · · Score: 0, Troll

    Obama is a close second..

    Even funnier, the gp, which just mentioned that groklaw had covered the SCO case, has been modded "insightful", bloody hell, maybe if I post a comment pointing out that rain falls, or goldfish swim, possibly that the Pope is catholic, I should expect to also be modded "insightful".

    What a load of old bollocks, pity these sad people can't accept criticism.....

    By gum, I've been modded "Troll", shurely shome mishtake.

    Nope, the same attack dogs live here too it seems. How sad.

    You really should get out more...

    Yes, so indeed did I. Not just read. I joined, commented, contributed cash, believed the hype, thought I was helping, proofed, supplied corrections blah, blah.
    Then saw the insidious, and frankly ugly, nature of the moderation system, plus I couldn't quite reconcile the "open source" rhetoric on the site with the "This is my space, agree with me completely or fuck off"
    Oh yes, and the attack dogs. Jeez, disagree & you'd be jelly in a blender. "You dare impugn the God that is Pamela Jones? I will hunt down your children"

    Shame really, at the time we all thought we were helping. As it turned out, not.

    Yabbut, Miss Jones once likened /. to pond scum & stated she felt unclean after browsing here for a few moments.
    Prolly why the link was to ars.

    He's neither a buffoon nor particularly well meaning.

    If we'll finally get real X-Ray Specs now that would be a good use....

  11. Re:it depends on what you're doing. on What Is the Future of Firewalls? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, actually I agree, we had a batch of about 50 Nokia 350's, and they were nothing but trouble, Dick Turpin alone knows how many TACs we opened & how many replacements were shipped. Not one of them lasted more than 3 years before the lot were replaced with commodity Compaqs.

    I recall someone took a 12 bore (12 gauge) to a 350 & posted the pics as the correct way to fix a Nokia, can't find them now, but we had a print out pinned to our trouble board for a goodly while.

  12. Re:it depends on what you're doing. on What Is the Future of Firewalls? · · Score: 1

    Way better than the Checkpoints they replaced.

    Only if you're talking about CheckPoint FW1 (v4.0), which was EOL'ed almost a decade ago. Current Sonicwall devices are only just catching up with R55, you should see the new stuff..

    I downmod any post which begins a sentence on the subject line then finishes it in the body.

  14. Gah. on BBC Activates DRM For Its iPlayer Content · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's nothing to do with any of all that old bollocks, I do wish people would read the FUCKING article, or maybe sod off & just read bog-roll packets. Yeah, that'll do it. Bollocks I'm off down the pub. Tosser.

  15. Re:Even more reason on Chinese Root Server Shut Down After DNS Problem · · Score: 1

    I have a higher UID than you, though I do know what a root DNS server is. I also bet that I was using a computer before your Father kissed your Mother for the first time. I also probably know way more physics & maths than you. Philosophy is for girls, so you win on that one.

    Yes, the OP should have RTFA, but your point is what, precisely?

  16. Even more reason on Chinese Root Server Shut Down After DNS Problem · · Score: 1

    On the strength of this, looks like Java will be following it.

    What difference will that make to my general new-fangled-interweb experience?

    A: 347, 1 to change the bulb, 346 to sing about how good the old one was.

  23. Re:Way Back When on Web Heritage Could Be Lost · · Score: 1

    We bought hosting from a company called Mailbox (in the UK) the website had a full set of DNS entries, however, once we couldn't pay for hosting, on account of being skint, the site disappeared. We still had the domain name, because it was a three year registration. Once that expired someone else registered it.

    www.worlddatabase.com :-(

  24. Re:Way Back When on Web Heritage Could Be Lost · · Score: 1

    Quite right, my first site's front page, from December 1996, is there, but that's it, none of the other pages are archived :-(

    I couldn't afford to pay the hosting charges (between jobs) and it died.

    On the other hand, I'm quite glad that the majority of the geocities stuff isn't there, it was mostly awful.

  25. The area of space immediately around the globe on Space Junk Getting Worse · · Score: 1

    Is absolutely vast, even considering the common orbiting heights. A couple of thousand objects floating around (OK with their own intrinsic velocity) in such a ginormous area, isn't going to cause *that* many problems.

    One would hope :-)
