  1. Re:CCleaner wasn't malware all along? on Avast's CCleaner Free Windows Application Infected With Malware (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    (S)He's not, I've used ccleaner for a long time now, probably coming up on a decade. I think they dropped the name crap cleaner around 2010. It's still decent and useful software just with a terrible marketing strategy. Never seen the need to even look at anything more than their free version though.

  2. Re:I tried to move to Ubuntu, Lenovo wouldn't let on Microsoft Locks Ryzen, Kaby Lake Users Out of Updates On Windows 7, 8.1 (kitguru.net) · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu do a certified program now, https://certification.ubuntu.c... Might not work with all distro's but certainly helped me pick out a new thinkpad recently.

  3. Re:Or the actual reason(s) on Apple Cites 'Courage' As Reason To Remove 3.5mm Headphone Jack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Just on your last comment about liking the iPhone5, you can buy the iPhoneSE which is the 6S internals within an iPhone5 case. My wife has it and it's a pretty decent bit of kit, sort of prefer it to my 6!

  4. Re:In Russia, Yandex searches YOU on DuckDuckGo: Illusion of Privacy · · Score: 1

    According to duckduckgo themselves, it comes from over one hundred sources including google, bing, yahoo etc. http://help.dukgo.com/customer/portal/articles/216399-sources

  5. Re:The two they left behind on All Five Star Trek Captains Share a Stage · · Score: 1

    She was actually at the Con - just not on stage!

  6. Re:Oh My! on All Five Star Trek Captains Share a Stage · · Score: 1

    Or as Martok & Gowron said 'Why aren't we invited? Are we not Captains?'

  7. Re:'consumer' on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately somewhere along the line that word seems to have replaced the word 'Customer'.

  8. Re:First they came.. on British Prime Minister To Announce Porn Blocking Plans · · Score: 1

    Well I've just written to my MP stating why I'm unhappy with this. Others need to do so as well if angry with this!

  9. Re:Great!!! on Launch Your Own Nanosatellite Into Space · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I think there is definitely a lack of perspective here! $300 bucks for your own satellite is definitely pretty awesome.

  10. Re:Regarding crawling on MapReduce For the Masses With Common Crawl Data · · Score: 1

    If its publicly available, surely you can get the data elsewhere?

  11. Re:What about your reputation thereafter? on Is the Quick Death of Failed Tech Products a Good Thing? · · Score: 1

    MiniDisc was pretty big in the uk for a while, I was just finishing high school when they were around and all my mates had them. They were viewed as quite cool, though that might've just been where I was from!

  12. Re:Hate to Say This... on Microsoft Brands WebGL a 'Harmful' Technology · · Score: 1

    VRML was/is awesome, still taught in some Uni's I think! I certainly used it towards the end of my Bsc in 2009.

  13. Re:You can't just count packages and draw conclusi on Why Debian Matters More Than Ever · · Score: 1

    Add another for JOE!

  14. Re:Not only FPS games. on FPS Games That Need a Remake · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Amazing that you mention lba, I've been playing it again over the last couple of nights and been totally engrossed in it!

  15. Re:What we do/don't need in Calculus. on How Much Math Do We Really Need? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In theory that all sounds good, but what about money spent on rent before buying your home? How would you factor that in? Surely that damages how much money you actually saved?

  16. Re:Why the Tech industry sucks. on iPad Bait and Switch — No More Unlimited Data Plan · · Score: 1

    To receive SMS yeah. Tend to pay about 10p per message sent, its more to send overseas though, think its about 35p. Paying to receive sms is just insane.

  17. Re:Why the Tech industry sucks. on iPad Bait and Switch — No More Unlimited Data Plan · · Score: 1

    You have to pay to receive SMS messages?? Wow, Don't think any of the UK operators are that bad...

  18. Re:wow on UK Home Office Set To Scrap National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Actually, according to the bbc news they won't be valid in 100 days.

  19. Re:Maybe I'm missing something on Exam Board Deletes C and PHP From CompSci A-Levels · · Score: 1

    Wow thats depressing. I just graduated last year and the area which I felt was most lacking was low level programming skills. For my OS class, it was all theory, no practical. So I'm now reading a book on the linux kernel to try and understand it a little more. Our compilers class was a joke! Write a compiler based on c#! What! How does that make any sense?! I'm currently working in a company that writes web apps, which is fine, but I could learn this stuff any time.

  20. Re:Yeah... on When SSD and USB 3.0 Come Together · · Score: 1

    I might be out of date, but isn't there still a big problem with write speeds? And is there not a limited life span of about 3-5 years for usage?

    As I said, may be out of date!!

  21. V'Ger on Top 10 Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do · · Score: 4, Informative

    The V'ger reference at the end annoyed me. It was given life by other beings, it didn't just become sentient!

  22. Re:Can't lose! on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    If you have breakdown cover, its a requirement of most policies to carry a spare tyre.

  23. Re:Money on Ask the UK Pirate Party's Andrew Robinson About the Issues · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would they make the work in the first place then?

  24. What?!? on Google Italy Execs Convicted Over YouTube Bullying Video · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Thats a fucking witch hunt, what the heck else could google have done??
