  1. Fun on Swimming Cockroach Robot Developed · · Score: 4, Funny

    I could have so much fun with one of these. Scaring my mum/sister/girlfriend. I want one!

  2. At home on The Australian Broadband Disaster · · Score: 1

    In sydney I have Optus cable. Costs about $70 per month. Its fast enough for me. I can watch streaming movies. Download huge files relatively quickly. And I share it with 2 other computers for my parents. If you need something faster than this, you need to get out more and enjoy the best country in the world. (Just my opinion - not trolling)

    Besides we should support Optus as they are competition for Telstra.

    If you had bought a Lindows system, why would you wanna buy XP. You've obviously made a choice not to buy windows.

    Got the addresses of the hilary Rosen etc. I feel like breaking in and stealing back all the ill-gotten gains they have. Be like a modern Robin Hood.

  25. hmmmm on Wired To Publish Slammer Source Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dunno about this. I am no uber-master programmer but I could get this working from the article probably. While it has been available on the net for a while most people don't know that. This brings it to a wider audience. But then again hopefully most sys admins will ahve fixed the hole.
