  1. Re:also Lotus Notes on Thunderbird 0.9 Released · · Score: 1

    OpenNTF is an opensource project for Notes that replaces many of the lotus databases such as mail and calendar. It is well worth a look.

  2. Re:also Lotus Notes on Thunderbird 0.9 Released · · Score: 1

    Even with a design client you are limited to the fact that if you change the design you will either lose your changes during the next incremental release or be stuck on that version of notes mail forever.

    I personally find it a miracle that the mail file works at all. It is with out doubt one of the worst pieces of coding that I have ever seen. Talk about verbose.

  3. Here come... on Will Your Next Car Run Windows? · · Score: 2, Funny

    the crash jokes...

  4. Re:BBC viewpoint on BBC Creative Archive Based On Creative Commons · · Score: 1

    I believe there was a school of thought that said anything the BBC makes should be free for people that pay the TV license. But of others outside the UK they should be made to pay.

    I think this was in reference to the BBC's News website.

    With regards to the future availability of BBC's archive of programs I think that yes, people outside the UK should pay to D/L the programmes. We HAVE to pay for them even if we don't watch any of the BBC channels. Thats the law.

  5. Re:I love that car... on Delorean Time Machine Replica Up For Auction · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I should clarify that the Irish designer of the delorian was a junkie not the man that stuck the flux capacitor in.

  8. Re:I can see the ChicFilet commercial now... on British Chicken-Warmed Nuke · · Score: 1

    At least they would all be cooked properly is nuked in this device. No chance of salmanela (or however you spell it)

  9. Re:"Complete" list of April Fools Jokes for 2004 on IF Quake Takes Fragging To Whole New Level · · Score: 1

    It is for real I am playing it on my Palm Pilot now.
    You should actually download it. before you all dismiss it.

    Major Kudos to Looniboi it's pretty cool when you play it.

  10. Are record companies loosing or winning? on IFPI 'First Wave' Sues 247 In Europe & Canada · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. On one hand we here stories that say that downloading isn't harming CD sales. Time after time we see the sales of albums going up. It was even reported here yesturday that thats the case.

    But on the other had we see that EMI is making 1500+ people redundant and dropping a shed load of artists.

  11. Re:The Real Question on Making A Better Browser History · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thats a valid point. Surely the instead of making the history look better why not concentrate on making favourites look cool and a lot easy to manage / take with you on the move.

  12. LOL.... on Presidential Gaming - A Political Machine? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Look Mr Bush play this game instead leave the real game to the grown up's

  13. Re:Whatever it is... on How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth? · · Score: 1

    Thats a damn shame, the segway was a bloody good invention. The problem with it is it just looks so crap.

    And it's to slow, not to mention it can't carry any shopping unless you invest in a rubbish looking trailer, and when you do have a rubbish trailer kids can chase you and nick you shopping negating the whole point in you going out on your segway.

    However extream segwaying looks like a spot of fun

    On another note does he realise that the ISS is falling apart?

    Thank god that the boy band never made it into space.

    At least someone a Pepsi had an ounce of decency and spared the rest of us from this, the biggest marketing gimmick of all.

  16. Re:grammar police strikes on Spread The Love (And Pay Us) · · Score: 1

    Ahh Yes but I was being politically correct. You can't be sexist these days so I was only covering my arse by say THEIR.

    At least I spelt that correctly.

  17. Re:No hurry.. on You're Watching Less TV · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have actually now got to the point where I sometimes "collect" so much that I just end up deleting it before I watch or even burn it.

    I repeatedly find myself asking what was the point in getting that.

    "Dell (and other box manufacturers) cannot be happy about such a statement"

    Surly such a statement would mean that Microsoft are planning to buy dell and give ther stuff away, locking people into windows forever and ever. Oh wait people are already locking into windows forever and ever.

    I changed from Orange to Vodafone by number was ported after 7 days no hassle at all.
