  1. Such a helpful company on Censoring The Net With A Hotmail Account · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think everybody missed the real test here,
    the test is which company is the most helpfull to people sending notices to sites and its obvious that iFast is the most helpful,

    Now all I have to do is tell ALL my friends to go with them, iFast will like all the extra business its the least I can do for such a helpful company...

  2. Re:Not true at all on Smart Cars Coming to Canada and U.S. · · Score: 1

    Anyone I know hates the look of the car though in saying that I wouldn't mind one, Fuel economy is not as big a issue in Europe* as in the USA but its important none the less.

    * European cars are more effecient in general :)

  3. Americans use these? on Smart Cars Coming to Canada and U.S. · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ah what the hell like?
    Even in Ireland & UK people don't like the look of these cars, though in saying that there small and good for city use but they look like crap imho

  4. Re:Three Words on The Browser Wars Are Back? · · Score: 1

    " I think that most people get the adblocking stuff to rid themselves of popups."

    ah wtf?, the adblock extenstion DOES NOT stop pop-ups
    Mozilla by default has a pop-up blocker, adblock allows you to remove normal adverts such as the one at the top of /. pages.

  6. Smart cars eh? on Smart Cars Tell You About Road Signs · · Score: 1

    These is it? http://www.thesmart.co.uk/

    I'm amazed I haven't seen more "In soviet russia" jokes in all the replys :)

  7. This is news? on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the rest of you but as far as I was concerned the rest of the world already knew this, hell even Blair (UK) has been caught for this already.
    Its hardly going to be the case that Blair was lying but Bush was telling the truth, I mean who do they think there kidding? (the american public apparently)

    In the end this news is not going to do anything, they'll still say they had terroristsTM and that is reason enough to attack the country.

  8. Re:Huh? on Walk of Game Honors Industry Paragons · · Score: 1

    Same here

    Moz

    Just blank screen, hardly /.'ed already?

  11. Re:Back to P2P on MovieLink 2004's Top Film Download Service, So Far · · Score: 1

    At the very least they should allow non-US customers to atleast browse the site even if they can't use the services, its a very stupid policy

    Incidently anyone using AOL anywhere around the world can access it because they'd have a US IP
    But then again why would you want to use the service? :)

  12. Re:Back to P2P on MovieLink 2004's Top Film Download Service, So Far · · Score: 3, Informative

    You got that right!

    "Thanks for your interest in Movielink, the leading source for movies delivered directly over the internet. We want you to enjoy our powerful movie download experience, but it is presently unavailable to users outside of the United States"

    What a extremely helpfull site, can't even browse the bloody thing!
    And the above is when I tried to access movielink.com directly

  13. Old News on Dogs Sniff Out Bladder Cancer From Urine · · Score: 1

    This story has been on the BBC News website for almost a week now, must /. be so slow to report the news?

  14. Re:I smell spam from the grave on Not Life After Death -- Email After Death · · Score: 1

    For those that want the service, the dupe is actually better value for money then the current story..

    Although funnily enough mylastemail.com seems to be dead now

  15. Yeahhh 250MB more for spam to fill up on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 1

    I have a hotmail account which I never ever have given to anybody and it still gets spammed to the last!

    I'd never use the service for proper use, besides the interface sucks..

  16. Re:Per usual on Ireland Cracks Down on Online Scammers · · Score: 1

    Don't be so sure, after all who do you currently pay your line rental to :)
    Yes it'll change but it hasn't yet..

  17. Re:Will this ever work on Ireland Cracks Down on Online Scammers · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If America did the same* then they properly would.. :)

    *NEVER gona happen

  18. Per usual on Ireland Cracks Down on Online Scammers · · Score: 1

    Per usual you can bet that Eircom (Irelands monopolistic telco) had no plans on doing this untill Comreg (Irelands Telco regulator) killed them alittle.

    Dam this country sucks so much some times :(

  19. Re:You know... on Samsung Demos Future Memory Chips · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I was just about to say the same thing
    After all this is "News for Nerds", if you don't know which is which you shouldn't be reading this site..

  20. Re:Not a bad idea for ATMs on AOL Moves Beyond Single Passwords for Log-Ons · · Score: 1

    The machine may not see your PIN but somebody looking over your shoulder could

    Atleast with a PIN and a SecureID you have less of a chance of somebody seeing your PIN and stealing your SecureID tag.

  21. Re:Not a bad idea on AOL Moves Beyond Single Passwords for Log-Ons · · Score: 1

    Nice to know some banks are doing it, but for some reason I can't see AIB (Alied Irish Bank) or Bank Of Ireland doing such things :(

  22. Not a bad idea on AOL Moves Beyond Single Passwords for Log-Ons · · Score: 5, Insightful

    AOL/TW employee's use these so why not offer it to customers, imho if banks gave out these devices for a one-off-fee on-line banking would be ALOT safer and there'd be less scams.

    Also sometimes those secure ID devices can go out of sync with the server and thats when the fun begins :)
    Thats the only problems I've seen with them,

  23. Re:Market Share on Windows Viruses up Sharply in 2004 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Agreed, the same goes for exploits that affect Mozilla, they'll increase as market share rises

  24. Re:Hmm, not too fond of Redmond? on AOL Will Not Support Sender-ID · · Score: 1

    AOL 5.0 for Mac OS8 & 9 uses IE
    AOL for OSX for ah OSX uses the Gecko engine,

    Now if they'd only start using that engine in Windows..

  25. report the news correctly on Lexmark Recalls 40,000 Laser Printers · · Score: 1

    Headline reads "Lexmark Recalls 40,000 Laser Printers" then the story goes onto to say "An electrical shock hazard has caused Lexmard to recall about 39,400 laser printers." so infact they did'ent recall 40,000 printers! :)
