  1. Re:Market share on Microsoft Drops Windows 7 E Editions · · Score: 1

    Of course. But real results will not differ by much. Firefox is still the most popular browser as anything else will tell you.

  2. Re:IE 6? on Microsoft Drops Windows 7 E Editions · · Score: 1

    Most use Firefox, you insensitive clod!

  3. Market share on Microsoft Drops Windows 7 E Editions · · Score: 1

    Then by rights, Firefox takes the top place. From W3 (other sources will show same result): FF 47.3% IE 40.7% IE 6 15%

  4. Re:GPL answers on The Ethics of Selling GPLed Software For the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Apologies. I was under the impression that apps needed to be linked to the system libraries.

  5. Re:GPL answers on The Ethics of Selling GPLed Software For the iPhone · · Score: 1

    The libraries have a GPL exception (or the GPL has an exception itself which I believe to be less likely) Just as libgcc has a GPL exception to let people make proprietary software on Linux, isn't the opposite true for .NET? This is news to me.

  6. GPL answers on The Ethics of Selling GPLed Software For the iPhone · · Score: 1

    To sell GPL'd software: OK. To link GPL'd software with non-GPL'd software (e.g. Iphone libraries) : Not OK to distribute. Verify if you are linking with non-GPL, and if so, change the GPL to something else, perhaps BSD or MIT.

  7. Implication on Reprogrammed Skin Cells Turned Into Baby Mice · · Score: 1

    Think of the implications this could have. I can have my giant army of penguins in no time! Mwuhahahahahaaa!

  8. Re:Ah the Germans on Linux Notebooks Selling Well On Amazon Germany · · Score: 1

    Yes,, and we ALL want censorship!

  9. Great choice on Linux Notebooks Selling Well On Amazon Germany · · Score: 1

    The best choice, dunno why we can't make the same one.

  10. Ah the Germans on Linux Notebooks Selling Well On Amazon Germany · · Score: 1

    Why can't more of us be like them?

  11. Kill IE! on Microsoft Agrees To EU Browser Ballot Screen · · Score: 1

    For goodness' sakes, just kill IE! How bloody hard is that?

  12. Re:Debian on Canonical Fully Open-Sources the Launchpad Code · · Score: 1

    Alright, if you want to make getting all the newer software you want more difficult!

  13. Lock down? on Lost In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Hey! You can fly endlessly in my cloud!

  14. Re:Debian on Canonical Fully Open-Sources the Launchpad Code · · Score: 1

    Unstable... or "testing"...haha Standardisation would be nice- but not everyone would agree with it.

  15. Re:Debian on Canonical Fully Open-Sources the Launchpad Code · · Score: 1

    The solution would be to stick the recent versions of every program in ONE repo so that we don't keep having to add them to our sources.list!

  16. Re:Debian on Canonical Fully Open-Sources the Launchpad Code · · Score: 1

    Noo! Please! No more PPAs!

  17. Ambiguous? on Creativity Potentially Linked To Schizophrenia · · Score: 1

    Goodness, first depression, now creativity linked to schizophrenia? What next? It's becoming like stress, you will soon be able to attribute it to anything.

  18. Helmer? on Build Your Own Render Farm · · Score: 1

    How about Helmer? http://helmer.sfe.se/

  19. ARM? on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    This will certainly run Linux... ...but when will they make an ARM version? I want 15 hours dammit!

  20. Re:Circuitry? on IronKey Unveils Self-Destructing USB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    Haha, "should not"... OK. Good good. My data is uber secure!

  21. Re:Circuitry? on IronKey Unveils Self-Destructing USB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    So, just one that's encrypted is good enough then. If people really want something, they WILL get the data.

  22. Circuitry? on IronKey Unveils Self-Destructing USB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    So it blows out the circuitry, but what about the flash? Someone could just recover that.

  23. Security bonus on Strong Passwords Not As Good As You Think · · Score: 1

    Still, many strong passwords for different things, changed regularly plus many Linux Live CDs to stop weird software, plus hardware checks, plus fingerprint readers will prevent it all from being doooooomed!

  24. Rockets? on Successful Test of Superconducting Plasma Rocket Engine · · Score: 1

    What? We're still using rockets???

  25. Other systems on Symantec Exec Warns Against Relying On Free Antivirus · · Score: 1

    Most people are still silly enough to use a broken system that NEEDS an antivirus. If they had chosen a system that wasn't susceptible due to better security practises by default, and that it was extremely difficult to get a virus on, (such as a system with clean repositories that requires you to be a normal user, not an admin) the problem would largely solve itself. And these systems are often available for free! What gives?
