  1. Re:Frozen screen or unresponsive touch == FAILURE on Microsoft Blamed Intel For Its Own Bad Surface Drivers (thurrott.com) · · Score: 1

    Real Microsoft fans don't mind. They even inspire themselves from the rhetoric. Take creimer for example, he can come up with plenty of similar excuses in similar cases.

    Microsoft has fans? I thought it was just people that hate them the least.

    It's the government breaking society apart society, not the nhs. The more they cut the worse it gets. Oh yeah, and taxes aren't going down.

    What the fuck are you talking about? Hard work doesn't matter in the UK, we're getting shafted hard and it's only going get harder once they trigger the inevitable nuclear brexit, the harder working the job the harder the shaft. What are these ridiculous and harmful social programs you resent? Do you mean the NHS? Some taxes are worth paying you know. Well, they are if they go to what they're supposed to instead of corporate welfare and massive billion quid bungs to hold on to power.

    Seriously? Use the very standard GBP if your keyboard doesn't have a £. Maybe if it doesn't you can go on amazon and spend some AD on a new one.

  9. Re:So what we need is centralized access to conten on Disney Ditching Netflix Keeps Piracy Relevant (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would/should/could this be government? A private intermediary would be far effective, better yet several competing based on price and/or quality of service

    Because a private intermediary would do as little as possible while charging as much as it can get away with and then take bungs in order to place specific content in more advantageous slots. Nothing for the benefit of the general public should be run by a private company. Ask the internet how that works out.

    I'm surprised you think that's cool. I'd be pretty peaved if someone stole my work.

    If I made some work then purposefully removed it from the place where everyone can access it in order to put it in my own place (with only my own stuff) to make more money I wouldn't be surprised when no one turned up.

    Disney, in a sense, effectively pirated the public domain. As far as I'm concerned, turnabout is fair play.

    I pirated the last two star wars films from them and still felt ripped off. I'll probably pirate the new ones just to delete them.

    I was sooo close to buying one of those. Decided not to in the end, and then when the iPod came out I realised "£400 and I'll never have to listen to that annoying guy behind me ever again". Bought that, a firewire interface for my PC and a piece of third party code (Xsomethingorother) that allowed you to treat it like a folder on a PC. Never looked back.

    Similar but I bought a creative zen, £120 I think it was and didn't need an extra bit of software at all.

    Since IT employees are not hired for their looks, why do IT employers insist upon Skype interviews?

    I can't speak for others, but I insist on video screening interviews so I can ask the applicants questions without them looking up answers in a search engine.

    What, you don't want you employees to use initiative?

  21. If you're waiting for these people touting nuclear as solution to everything admitting they were wrong both on environmental, monetary and energy concerns, you'll probably have to wait longer than half life of Cesium.

  22. Some of the metal alloys in the original specification weren't being manufactured anymore. So newer alloys had to be qualified, tested, and certified,
