  1. Re:Why do people have such an issue with this? on Microsoft Sued Over WGA · · Score: 1

    Why do you need to check every day? Can you magically turn you legal copy into a pirate copy? And if so, does it change the backdrop to an eye patch?

  2. Re:I wonder what reasonable is? on GPL Causing Problems for Derivative Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    I asked the same about a year ago (I have a small GPL project, the source is in the SF.net CSV, but I don't provide zips).
    I also came to about the same amount.

  3. Re:911? on Man Arrested for Wireless Piggybacking · · Score: 1

    I assumed 911 was called on the first day he started using it, but it took free months for a police car to arrive.
    In the UK that would be fast!

  4. Re:Great, more confusion on Wii-mote In Action · · Score: 1

    Hands free was about long before BlueTooth, but I don't use it any more. It is no fun, noone looks at me funny anymore.

  8. Re:If not under lock and key... on Trojan Compromises Oregon Taxpayers · · Score: 1
    Anything else would require a disk search and that would have been amazingly obvious, even to the most idiotic
    Care to swap idiots? I have a few that think installing programs that have a large popup declare that they are "Now Hiding Your Porn" are a good method of hiding porn.
  9. Re:Makes Sense on Screenshot Accounts 'Delisted' on Flickr · · Score: 2, Interesting
    flickr should definitely change their policy for things like this.

    Why?

    It is not as if free blogs& image hosting are in short surply.
  10. Re:Seems like over-moderation on Screenshot Accounts 'Delisted' on Flickr · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Delisted not deleted. Still taking up file space, just not now listed. Apparently flicker has a target audience, and random crap from WoW in the listing is not what the target audience wants.

  11. Re:I wish... on Future(?) Design of Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    Am I not asking for enough out of my battery life? As if I use my HTC Wizard as just a phone I get about two days from it (one more than I really need).
    If I use it as an MP3 player/Camera I get one day.

    What is wrong with that?

    What is your idea of a good battery life?

    Yeap.

    See, lots of different mice!

    Did you miss the "page 1 or 4" bit at the bottom?
    It is 8 very short paragraphs.

  15. Re:1200 APM on Razer's New Mouse Optimized for MMO and RTS · · Score: 1

    I'm on page 3 of the review, and I don't think you can call it a slashvertisement, more a warning not to buy this overpriced mouse.

    I think I'll stick with my £9 Asda SmartPrice (Labtec) mouse

  16. Re:spreading themselves thin on Hands on: Google Spreadsheets · · Score: 1

    As I understand it Google gives its employees 1 day a week "personal time" to work on any project they like. If it then turns out to be useful to google, then great, throw more people onto it.
    If not, it has kept the plebs happy & fresh to let them fuck about with new-toy-of-the-week, so all is good.

  17. Re:Google could take the low end of the Office mar on Hands on: Google Spreadsheets · · Score: 1

    Given that its key feature is multi-user editing, I would have thought its primary target was biz.

  18. Re:Discovery is not pairing on 'BlueBag' PC Sniffs Out Bluetooth Flaws · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you rename your device to "Nokia Download Center: Snake Superupdate aviable, type 1234 for this free update"(1) I wonder how many people would blindly tap it in, and bond with you. But to be honest, I'm not really sure what you could do then over Bluetooth.

    Mmm. Bonding.

    My computer (in a 2nd floor flat) will every now and again get Bluetooth bonding requests, and popups welling me that I've connected to someones PIM (until I turned it off).

    1) Or "Free PORN!" equivalent.
