  1. Simple use for 1TB of free e-mail storage on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    Off site back up of your hard disks by e-mailing segmented archives at attachments to your gmail account. Encrypted of course.

  2. Only it doesn't. on AXA sues Google over AdWords · · Score: 1

    Search for "AXA" on google, and the first match is AXA.

  3. Re:How about still using C on Coding The Future Linux Desktop [updated] · · Score: 1

    Oddly I've worked as a programmer for many years. Many many desktop applications. Lots of work on embedded systems.

    Engineers should still seek beauty in minimisation and efficiency. It's as if you're trying to take all the fun out of it.

  4. How about still using C on Coding The Future Linux Desktop [updated] · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We'd actually get a performance gain without a 4 way Xeon and gigs of memory, and apps would even downscale acceptably to mobile devices?

  5. How to utterly discredit evidence on Leaked Memo Says Microsoft Raised $86 million for SCO · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Have Eric S Raymond publish for you.

    I'd like to believe it, and maybe it is plausible, but the man is a raving lunatic at the best of times. May as well have stuck it in Fortean Times.

  6. Don't worry about it on Ways to Beat the Telecommuting Blues? · · Score: 1

    You'll be first out of the door when your company get rid of any employees, so you'll get plenty of time walking to the job centre soon enough. I know I did.

  7. Re:Dell's Spare Parts on On the Record: Scott McNealy · · Score: 1

    ...and we don't know that? Do you have trouble understanding irony?

  8. Dell's Spare Parts on On the Record: Scott McNealy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Has he looked at his own product range recently? Dell and Sun use the same manufacturer for the v65x etc. Dell with a different bezel, same "spare parts".

  9. Scary nerds on Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers · · Score: 1

    Looking around the internet you have some incredibly scary/obsessive fans, and in many ways equally scary contestants. Ever gone down the junk yard with a view to making a de-nerdulator or perhaps just a f***ing enormous gun? You could probably sort out some kind of tank arrangement, with a projectile Lisa Rodgers as a decoy.
