  1. Re:Could be worse on Comcast Floats a 250GB Monthly Bandwidth Limit · · Score: 1

    My UK ISP has a 30gig on peak (8am to 10pm Mon - Fri) and 300gig off peak (all other times) limit, which is more than enough.

    They also don't throttle or block P2P traffic, which is nice.

  2. Really fast? on Firefox 3 Performance Gets a Boost · · Score: 1

    If it follows previous versions, it's really fast until add-ons essential to making the browser usable are installed, then it will bog down to IE levels.

  3. Re:nonsense on Hydrogen-Powered cars with Zero-Carbon-Emission? · · Score: 1

    It's all a Scientologist plot to find and destroy Xenu in an ironic fashion.

  4. Re:First step for symbian. on Symbian Blasts Google's Phone Initiative · · Score: 1

    I don't recall Linux winning the desktop yet, so there is another step in there:

    3.5. ??????

  5. Re:I don't even understand that sentence. on Project Gutenberg Volunteers Partial IMSLP Hosting · · Score: 1

    "Project Gutenberg has volunteered to host [all it legally can of] the IMSLP's catalog"

  6. Haven't you heard? on The Orange Box Review · · Score: 1

    Only idiots use the word 'sku' outside of a retail environment.
    How about 'package'? It makes more sense than 'stock keeping unit'... :|

  7. Sold - Activated != unlocked on Apple Says 250,000 iPhones Sold to Unlockers · · Score: 1

    > Apple knows how many iPhones have been sold and how many have been activated with ATT. The difference is the number that are unlocked.

    Of course, that does not take into account the phones bought and not activated because they are for Xmas gifts etc..

  8. Re:Good grief on Man Hacks 911 System, Sends SWAT on Bogus Raid · · Score: 1

    Utter bollocks.
    There are a multitude of ways that the authorities could of been informed of the flaw without terrorising a random family.

    The guy is a grade-A tosser and I hope he gets severely punished.

  9. Re:The Environment? on Blog Action Day · · Score: 1

    > Why not pick a topic that effects everyone now?
    Huh? Have I fallen for a joke post or do you really not see how the environment effects everyone now?

    > dollar devaluation and the fed who prints money and causes inflation, spend time blogging about politicians that the main stream media ignores (Ron Paul)
    "This just in. New lands have been discovered beyond US borders. More at 11."

  10. Re:Hey! They got games for Mac too... on Valve's Gabe Newell on Apple's Gaming Failures · · Score: 1

    > but the vast majority wouldn't even begin to work on a console.
    Actually, the majority are already on consoles.

    On console already:
    Bioshock
    DiRT
    HL2: Orange Box
    Call of Duty 4
    Medal of Honor: Airborne

    PC Only:
    World in Conflict
    Civ 4: Beyond the Sword
    Supreme Commander
    Crysis

    Even the PC only ones have no real reason why they could not be adapted.

    Face facts, PC gaming is in steady decline.

  11. Re:Who's gonna pay for that? on Japanese Researchers Aim to Replace the Internet · · Score: 1

    Well, if Ian Snobody wants to pay for it, let him.

  12. WTF? Where's the angle? on Some 7-11s Become Kwik-E-Marts · · Score: 3, Funny

    I demand this story is changed to add in some sort of link to the iPhone.

    It sticks out like a sore thumb without one.

  13. Re:Why does the BBC need DRM? on BBC Chooses Microsoft DRM Platform · · Score: 1

    They sell a large amount of content to oversea markets. Providing their entire range of shows without DRM could damage that revenue stream.

  14. Re:deja vu? on Jeremy Allison On Why DRM Will Never Work · · Score: 1, Funny
  15. Look at the source... on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    The Daily Mail is about as reliable as Fox.

    Sample headline:
    DO THE UNEMPLOYED INFECT ENGLAND WITH AIDS?

  16. Re:Specifically... on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Using Unlicensed Assets From Doom 3? · · Score: 1

    I fail to see any irony in the situation.

    It would be ironic if development had been delayed due to the developers suing id for stealing their content, and now it has finally been released it contains id content.

  17. Re:I think I'm on Westinghouse's side on this one. on Blame Gaming - Is the Blinking PS3 Sony's Fault? · · Score: 1

    PS3 not PS2, obv.

  18. I think I'm on Westinghouse's side on this one... on Blame Gaming - Is the Blinking PS3 Sony's Fault? · · Score: 1

    It seems odd that this issue would only appear on a Sony PS2 if the problem was with the TV. I own a Westinghouse TV and have it connected to a HD-DVD player via HDMI and have never seen this issue.

    Do you see?

  19. Re:Debit Cards on Chip & PIN terminal playing Tetris · · Score: 1

    That's what Debit cards over here do too, in addition to the chip and pin option.

  20. Konami take note. on Capcom Implements Lost Planet Beta Feedback · · Score: 1

    PES6 on 360 is fun to play DESPITE your ignorance of basic functions an online title should have.

    Capcom seem to grasp the concept that "next gen" does not mean higher resolution but 50% less features and lots of slow-down.

  21. Re:Only modders? on Microsoft Sued Over Fall Update Issues · · Score: 3, Informative

    You are mistaken in thinking that it only affected modded 360s.

    Also, MS should of pulled the update as soon as it was apparent it was killing 360s, but they didn't and it affected a lot more units because of that.

    I managed to get £50 worth of GAME vouchers to compensate for the update killing my 360, but it was the 3rd time my 360 needed replacing due to shoddy hardware/software.

  22. Re:Don't do what china does on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    Why on earth would you want to stack different denominations of currency? It would have to be quite a high stack to pose a 'topple' risk due to the difference in sizes.

  23. EA or Sony on EA Selling Tutorials Via Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    It's a dilema every gamer has. Who is the worst?

  24. Re:L@@k at a web site for blind people on Judge Rules Sites Can Be Sued Over Design · · Score: 1

    It fails W3C validation with 138 errors, which isn't ideal.

  25. Re:No wrongdoing? on Court Rules Ellison Must Donate $100M to Charity · · Score: 1

    It's like when Michael Jackson payed off the family of that kid he was alleged to of molested. Apart from everyone knows he did it.
