  1. Re:Bittorrent Links to the mame0.72 Romset on Arcade ROMs for Download, Legally · · Score: 1

    Can I have some of what you're smoking?

    MAME 0.74 dropped a few post 2000 games, hardly classics. Pong was removed ages ago as it was something of hack.

  2. Re:Go easy on 'em... on FSF FTP Site Cracked, Looking for MD5 Sums · · Score: 1

    I will go easy on the FSF when they go easy on anybody else, i.e. never. They will admit no excuse when they think you are wrong, I see no reason to treat then differently.

  3. Re:obligatory pedantic brit on MSI's Home Theatre PC Reviewed · · Score: 1

    yes, but doesn't the OED also define the word "racialist" when we all know the real word is "racist" and the other word should be stamped out?

    So that's where my Gran gets it from!

  4. The Beatles on The RIAA's Hit List Named · · Score: 1

    I am too lazy to look it up at the moment, but I think The Beatles sold their publishing company (Northern Songs), as a way to get round the income tax rates in the UK at the time (90%+ I think).

  5. Re:Yes they do on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fuck off you elitist twat. Almost nobody knows what horsepower is, it's just a number, just like GHz. I am sure that you do indepth research into the background tech of everything you even consider buying, the rest of us however, actually have a life (or at least a bit of one).

  6. Re:Confused on Europe To Force Right of Reply On Internet Communication · · Score: 1

    Would you please tell that to George Bush?

  7. Re:It's a tax on the consumer! on U.S. E-Commerce Sites To Collect EU VAT · · Score: 1

    My web site is in ENGLISH!

    Any where, exactly, is England?

  8. WTF???? on False Positives, Few Matches Plague 'No-Fly' List · · Score: 1

    Insightful?? Fucking bollocks more like. Terrorists ALREADY HAVE FUCKING FAKE ID, and guess what THE GOVENMENT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THEIR REAL NAMES, any list based on names is not worth the paper it's printed on, it is NOT part of a defense system, becase it generates so many false positives people will waste huge amounts of time trying to verify the 'John Smith' is not a terrorist. There is only so much time and money that can be spent stopping terrorists, it should be spent on systems that work.

  9. Re:Geez... on Philosophy, Reality and The Matrix · · Score: 1

    Dude, get a fucking life.

  10. Re:Embedded processor on VIA's New Nehemiah M10000 Processor Reviewed · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Hello, earth to vlad_petric, it's for QUIET PCs, you know, surf, MP3s and a little bit of MS Office. Twat.

  11. Re:I counted 42 subsidaries so far... on The FCC and Media Consolidation · · Score: 1

    No, it (and your comment), say 'media'.

  12. Re:This is a complete lie. on Card Makers Say UK Citizens Want Biometric ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself. I am a British citizen. I would like to see ID cards mainly because I hate the idea of my taxes going to Social Security fraudsters.

    Funny, I hate the idea of my taxes going to EDS to build a system to spy on me.
    Also, are there any figures to show that fraud is any lower in Countries with ID cards?

  13. Re:EU wants it both ways... on Lexmark Invokes DMCA in Toner Suit · · Score: 1

    Natural consequences of societies which embrace skepticism, mysticism and irrationalism as philosophies. Causality? Who needs it!

    Not to disagree with you main point, but the US tends to embrace mysticism rather more than the EU.

  14. Re:Ask who? on Ask Jeeves Gives Up On Banner Ads · · Score: 1

    Except ask.com have been running TV ads, it must get them some users....

  15. Re:With all due respect on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 5, Funny

    With all due respect - READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE

    This is about ads, not the index.

    Your post sounds good at first, but upon deeper exploration you'll see that it's:

    a.) Childish
    b.) Poorly thought-out
    c.) Discriminatory
    d.) A disservice to Internet users

  16. Re:Attacking the Problem from the wrong direction. on All Source Code Should Be Open, Revisited · · Score: 1

    I sort of agree with you, but are you prepared to pay for software that 'just works'? Depending on who you think has the answers, and exactly what you mean by 'just works', it is likely to be 10 to 100 times as expensive to produce, and not even MS can cover that and sell for the same money.

  17. Re:MAME is basically useless on MAME To Become GPL? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Except MAME predates MAME.DK by several years....

  18. Re:Why was it not under the GPL to begin with? on MAME To Become GPL? · · Score: 1

    Because it wasn't under any license, it was just written and released.
    MAME has been GPL before, version 0.22 to 0.26 where release under the GPL.

  19. Re:What on Using R44 And A PowerBook To Bust Illegal Seawalls · · Score: 1

    The 'Other People' you refer to are the State, you know, the people who get elected.

  20. Re:Cellular carriers on Palm Tungsten Models Reviewed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So what you are saying is that competition is great, as it comes up with the same answer, it just takes longer and costs more in the interim.

  21. Re:so what? on Where The Bandwidth Goes · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You really are an ignorant little twat aren't you?

  22. Re:More porn? on 320GB Hard Drives announced · · Score: 0

    You don't need a bigger hard drive, you need to get a life. That's several hundred days worth of mp3s, exactly how many of them will you ever listen to?

  23. Re:The bit I don't understand: on Techies On Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics · · Score: 0

    Wrong book. "The Integral Trees" is a novel, try "Tales of Known Space".

  24. Re:Is it really worth it? on Is FORTRAN Still Kicking? · · Score: 0

    No, you are still a fuckwit. If you need to fun SERIOUSLY big numbers in any sane amount of time, you either pay for your CPU time, or spend 10 times as much trying to build an 'inexpensive' cluster.

    And if you really think saving 10% is pointless, I have a bridge you might want to buy.

    (Fucking college students, alway thing they know best)

  25. Re:Is it really worth it? on Is FORTRAN Still Kicking? · · Score: 0, Troll

    WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT PCs YOU FUCKWIT

    CPU time on really big iron is charged for, time is money.
