  1. TV ads and spam hotlines on French ISP Blocking Web Ads By Default · · Score: 1

    What would be the point of blocking TV ads? Unlike on web sites there's no other content when ads are being broadcast (some might say there's not very much content between the ads on most channels anyway...). And presumably TV channels would be much happier not to be available on Free than websites would, so it would likely backfire anyway. The spam hotline idea should be the default! Do ad companies really complain about people's evil spam filters on their email accounts?

  2. Re:Stupid question on 1000 Genomes Project Releases Pilot Genome Data · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, but it probably gives clues about which people are more susceptible to hash, if that'll help you.

  3. Re:ah, the logic of it on German Radar Satellite Lifts Off Tonight · · Score: 3, Funny

    Apparently Google's suggestion that people build a wall if they didn't want photos to be taken didn't go down so well

  4. Re:This will not end well on AU National Broadband Network Signs $11 Billion Deal With Telstra · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even wallabies need something to keep them regular

  5. Newsflash on Home Computers Equal Lower Test Scores · · Score: 1

    Kids with access to internet waste time on internet! No way!

  6. Re:Very slow on iPhone 3GS on Smokescreen, a JavaScript-Based Flash Player · · Score: 1

    I didn't find it all that slow on the 3rd generation iPod touch. Sure, it's not quite full speed but not an order of magnitude off that.

  7. Is this that uncommon? on Thumbprints Used To Check Books Out of School Library · · Score: 1

    Thousands of schools already use fingerprints for registration, as well as in plenty of their libraries. I guess most of them are 11+ or 13+, but is it really so different just because this is in primary schools?

  8. Re:But the Miis! on Wii Update 3.3 Defeats Twilight Hack, Freeloader · · Score: 2, Funny

    To quote the message that appeared on my Wii from Nintended about the update, 'This update also ads a new feature to the Mii Channel. You can now move a Mii from the Mii Plaza to the Mii Parade. To do this, ...'. I am in Europe, though, so maybe Nintendo held off giving us this one for a while in case it just blew our minds with its promptness.

  9. But the Miis! on Wii Update 3.3 Defeats Twilight Hack, Freeloader · · Score: 4, Funny

    But.. but.. the update includes kick-ass-awesome-super-cool functionality too, to make up for the (now comparatively insignificant) loss! I mean, who wouldn't want to move Miis from the Plaza to the Parade? Exactly.
