  1. Eh? on Emulated PC Enables Linux Desktop In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    This isn't a new thing, I've seen it, we've all seen it. How come the things I submit that are new and cool don't get accepted in favour of old news? In other news, fuck this Java shit.

  2. They're baaad on Microsoft Changing Users' Default Search Engine · · Score: 1

    This is why I don't use it. It changes stuff all the time, against my will. And tries to sue the people that make the OS I use! They're goin' down..

  3. Office suites too on The Hidden Cost of Using Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    As much as OOo is now the standard, many people still use MSOffice, because it's what they're trained with. Doesn't that double the cost of the software too? And sod you security nuts, ANYTHING is more secure than windows, except perhaps a mac. Jeez, conficker... Antivirus being necessary, no repository, more people being ignorant and downloading dodgy software... I admit mainly PEBKAC but still they (security companies) charge you for decent extra security. But that's just good business!

  4. He's not dead! on Google Mistook Jackson Searches For Net Attack · · Score: 4, Funny

    The media is just overreacting. He's just on Betelgeuse with Elvis.

  5. Re:Kexec? on Ksplice Offers Rebootless Updates For Ubuntu Systems · · Score: 1

    Whoops. Ooh, THAT's why it shut down X!

  6. Kexec? on Ksplice Offers Rebootless Updates For Ubuntu Systems · · Score: 1

    In ANY distro, kexec can provide rebootless updates!

  7. BEOWULF! on DARPA Wants a 19" Super-Efficient Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Funny

    But will it run Crysis? But in all seriousness, BEOWULF OF DSs!

  8. Re:i wonder what RMS uses on Richard Stallman Says No To Mono · · Score: 1

    He doesn't live anywhere permanently you know. On campus and things. And on his "box" he must want to use GNU/HURD and sends an email to a program that runs wget instead of a browser.

  9. Why Evil? on Richard Stallman Says No To Mono · · Score: 1

    Stop whining, if it's all our code, it doesn't matter. For all everyone knows, our implementation is better because it's way more portable. It's NOT impure, it's NOT bad, it's just a recoding of commercial software. If we get in trouble for this, then's the time to worry! If not, then bloody hell, use it if you have to! But it's quite slow though. Why not use Vala?

  10. DAMMIT!!!!` on Nielsen Recommends Not Masking Passwords · · Score: 1

    FIIINGERPRIIIIINTS!!!!! EEEYEEES!!!! Just don't use the damn passwords if they're that much trouble. Get a fingerprint reader or USB key auth or iris detection! Bloody hell, I'd have thought someone would have thought of this already!

  11. The price of freedom on Microsoft Discloses Windows 7 Pricing · · Score: 1

    I doubt I'll be buying any. It's way too expensive for me, and doesn't contain any features that I don't have already. Come on, the Compiz cube is way better than that scraggy attempt Vista had. And I can search in the kernel sources for profanities! Beat that, Steves!

  12. Clever and evil on Sniffing Browser History Without Javascript · · Score: 1

    +1 Evil

  13. Free? on Open Source Car — 20 Year Lease, Free Fuel For Life · · Score: 1

    How much is it? Just because it's open source and free doesn't mean it's....free. No, wait..

  14. Good enough? on Measuring the Hubble Constant Better · · Score: 1

    Presumably "Erm, around 100" isn't good enough then?

  15. Close Encounters? on How Do You Greet an Extraterrestrial? · · Score: 1

    D E C lowC lowG

  16. Re:Americans on .ORG Zone Signed With DNSSEC · · Score: 1

    Damn you, just you. We have the Empire and the Commonwealth, and plus I am the Emperor.

  17. Re:Americans on .ORG Zone Signed With DNSSEC · · Score: 1

    Damn your futile accusations. We own them,

  18. Re:Americans on .ORG Zone Signed With DNSSEC · · Score: 1

    I live in England, you insensitive clod!

  19. Americans on .ORG Zone Signed With DNSSEC · · Score: 3, Funny

    Americans don't own the Internet! They just own all the Internet names! It's a big difference!
