  1. So, basically on Scientists Invent World's First Anti-Laser · · Score: 1

    We now have flash-darks for when it's light?

  2. Re:So... on YouTube Gets a Vuvuzela Button (Seriously) · · Score: 1

    Err... I'm from Scotland and most definitely learned that 10^12 is one trillion.

  3. Re:What happens during the ads? on Superbowl Tech Ads, 1976–Present · · Score: 0, Troll

    O_o Why is this modded flamebait? I remember them saying this morning on Breakfast that they'll be returning to the studio and talking when the commercials are on.

  4. Re:Getting off the train to crazytown on Google Chrome Displaces Safari As Third In Survey · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've seen an advert here in Glasgow. Oddly it was in a place where it wouldn't get much viewership.

  5. When this game was in its early stages on Review: Eufloria · · Score: 1

    There was a Linux version available. Here's hoping that they make a release for the final version :)

  6. Re:Great! on Universal Phone Charger Approved By UN Body · · Score: 1

    I know that, but if you read my post I said that you'd have to buy an adapter or charger. Either way you'd still end up paying money. However I suppose if you brought a laptop (it's certainly the sort of thing I'd take to America) then you could charge using USB.

  7. Great! on Universal Phone Charger Approved By UN Body · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Now I can take my UK charger to America and still have to but a new adapter/charger!

  8. I read TFA on Mozilla Messaging Unveils Raindrop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I read TFA over a few times and I'm not so sure what this is or how it works. It seems to be some sort of email/twitter/facebook aggregator. Have I understood this correctly?

  9. Perhaps on Yet Another Premature Declaration of Email's Death · · Score: 1

    We should not get rid of E-mail so much as improve it. E-mail could be easily improved by adding ideas such as threading which would quite easily overcome the complicated mess that is quoting.

  10. I'm glad on ISP Emails Customer Database To Thousands · · Score: 1

    I'm glad we switched away from Demon near the start of this year. >_

  11. Wine? on NCSoft Drops GameGuard From Western Launch of Aion · · Score: 1

    So I've looked at the Wine appdb entry for Aion and it says that it won't work because of GameGuard due to GameGuard requiring the Windows kernel. Hopefully I should be able to run it on Linux now :D

  12. Re:And here it goes on Former Sega Prez Discusses the Dreamcast's Failure · · Score: 1

    Not my fault that I was about eight when I wanted one and got told I couldn't have one! :( I do plan on getting myself one off ebay at some point, though. It seems like there was a whole set of games I missed, judging by the comments here.

  13. Re:Explore2fs on Which Filesystem Do You Use On Portable Media For Linux Systems? · · Score: 1

    Wow, that looks pretty handy! I've been looking to do something like this for a while, this will let me to use ext2 at college where I'm not allowed to install drivers :P Thanks :)

  14. Here's a handy guide on Meet Uzbl — a Web Browser With the Unix Philosophy · · Score: 1

    To anyone who wants to try it out on Ubuntu. I'm sure it will work for other platforms too :) http://kagashe.blogspot.com/2009/06/uzbl-new-usable-browser-on-ubuntu-904.html

  15. Re:A more interesting variation should be done on All Humans Are Mutants, Say Scientists · · Score: 1

    I thought one of the things about cells was that it could take DNA strands and merge them into existing chromosomes? Correct my if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I've done biology.

  16. Re:People just don't understand Linux on Linux On Netbooks — a Complicated Story · · Score: 3, Informative

    My favorite "useless feature" is track changes in Word. Do you have any idea how surprised people get when they send me a Word document and I send them back all my edits with cute little bubble comments next them? Does OO support track changes? Cause if they dont, that is a shame... it is a damn useful feature once somebody drops change-tracked document on your lap and you go "wow, I never knew this existed!". But I can only imagine the number of 37-signals followers who sit around and call it "useless bloat!!! off with its head!!"

    OpenOffice does have track changes, under a slightly different name:

    Edit -> Changes -> Record

  17. Re:The simple one. on What Filters Are Right For Kids? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And on the same token, you'd better know what you're looking for when you search "Asian swallows" =P
