  1. Re:automatic checking! on MPAA Blames Linux Australia Notice on Human Error · · Score: 3, Funny


    No, but I can believe that you didn't manually check all 15 words for legitimate spellings. :)

    now that would be a ground breaking feature

  4. Re:Bullshit! on Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Software · · Score: 1


    some institutions reboot the machines between jos !

    luckily when you use [url:http://www.linuxbios.org] then such reboots take 10s so it's hardly an overhead, even the freebsd box in my car running from a CF card will boot to playing mp3s in 35s.

    Windows truly sux0r5

  6. Re:Step backwards? on New Copyright Licence Allows Remixing In UK · · Score: 2, Informative

    there is no fair use enshrined in UK copyright law

    just ask all the teachers who got into trouble for photocopying stuff

  7. Re:Step backwards? on New Copyright Licence Allows Remixing In UK · · Score: 2, Informative


    perhaps you should know what you are talking about

    the UK has no "Fair Use" so nothing is covered under it

    good luck with those general anaesthetics

    I'll keep the pain thanks, I'd rather be sure I was going to wake up

  9. It' a funding plea on Robotic Capsule To Crawl Through Intestines · · Score: 2, Interesting


    The usual hype of "X to do Y" when X is nowhere nearly doing Y.

    I've had multiple anal endoscopes and they are f'kin painful so anything that can better that I will be happy about as I can look forward to more in the future
    (thanks Milk Marketing Board - see my sig).

  10. Re:Can I trust my computer? on IBM Shipping More PCs with Trust Chips · · Score: 4, Interesting


    reading the source code is not enough

    unless you taped out the CPU, wrote the BIOS, wrote the compiler & wrote the OS

    hehe you have to do that in mysql too because password is a reserved word

    I used passwurd and it has caught me out a few times going back to maintain it.

  16. 6 people curse their luck on Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One · · Score: -1, Troll


    They were so close to getting points

    No-one had picked Hans, so no score there!

  17. Re:Condolances on Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One · · Score: 1

    If you can still make a joke about it, you're sick.

    you are so wrong

    it even has a name, "black humour"

    if you can't deal with it, I'm afraid it is you who need treatment.

    no I didn't, it's me, you dolt :)

  19. Re:Left wing ?? on Internet Censorship in Australia? · · Score: 1


    you should go read some books

    socialism doesn't start with concentration camps, that's where it ends

    The UK Govt. is left wing, didn't see them respecting Iraqi's, Afgahni's and they are pushing through biometric systems for passports and healthcare (yes, visit the doctor and provide a biometric sample before he'll see you!).

    Though, tbh, all powerful political parties gravitate toward centrist policies over time, as a method of negating the differences between them and their opposition.

    Democracy results in policy being determined by your opposition !

  22. Running Backwards ? on Smarter Than the Average Joystick · · Score: 1

    OK I can accept strafing is on a button but surely running forwards to run backwards will probably be *very* confusing.

    I have often thought about treadmill with kb to fight the flab but in-game ?

    Perhaps it is more suited to Everquest than Quake, can't be anywhere near as responsive as someone with an Icemat!

  23. Re:Neither on Do You Go Out to the Movies or Wait for the DVD? · · Score: 1


    while I *was* trying to be funny - (my DVD collection currently numbers zero, pirate or otherwise) I think it is insightful as it is a legitimate answer to the question.

    Personally I like my films homegrown. I very much enjoyed our recent film festival. I am usually more emotionally moved by the shorts built with love than the blockbusters built with dollars.

  24. Re:Seeing as you're going commercial on Distributed Development of Closed Source Software? · · Score: 1


    perhaps it was this part :

    which we may consider commercializing depending on how it goes

    in which case, I may consider charging for my consultation.

    Ok I considered it, I'm charging.
