  1. Re:I can see how some would like it. on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 2

    Can't you just cancel your account, then start again - since from what you've said you don't want multiple simultanuous characters, which is (if I read the forum thread right) what they are preventing.

  2. Re:The first? Really? on nVidia Posts First Linux Graphics Drivers for Opteron · · Score: 2

    You would have preferred it if nvidia hadn't published linux drivers? Thats called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

  3. Re:English Joke on What MorphOS Is All About · · Score: 2

    That would actually be a cool mascot.

  4. Re:Pirate DVD fading on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 2

    I saw something similar once, a TV showing Tekken and "showing what poor quality pirate games are" - the TV wasn't tuned in properly!

  5. Re:Also available on DivX on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just because you found something called Two towers (as you say) doesn't mean it actually is.

  6. Re:Dang, just when you think it all equal! on Angry Spirited Away Fans Strike Back · · Score: 1

    Indeed, I really want to know why they did this - accidental or if not then why.

  7. Re:Why not konqueror? on Mozilla/QT needs developers! · · Score: 2

    Thats a silly quote though since Obi-wan is hardly "more powerful" when he comes back.

  8. Re:Why not konqueror? on Mozilla/QT needs developers! · · Score: 2

    I've got konqueror embedded on my Zaurus at the moment. It is not lean or small though.
    TBH though its not open source (horror!) I'm looking forward to Opera 7 on embedded devices though whether it will run on my Z is a different matter.

  9. Re:Which robot? on Will Smith as I, Robot · · Score: 2

    The answer is.. it doesnt matter because it will just be the usual hollywood fodder very tenuously based on a real story. There will be a romantic interest and a car chase. Will Smith will have a few catchphrases to say.

  10. Spinning faster and faster on Will Smith as I, Robot · · Score: 2

    Someone must have figured that even after Robin Williams in Bicentennial Man, Asmiov wasn't spinning quite fast enough in his grave.

  11. Re:"English"? Um, excuse me... on New Book Says The Meter Is all Wrong · · Score: 2

    Easier for the public, imagine trying to compare prices when each shop has a different measuring scale.

    I think in metric for everything except miles and pounds, if everything was in metric I wouldn't have picked that up.

  12. Re:Why not an air cushion? on Transrapid (MagLev) Test Successful In China: 405 · · Score: 2

    I recomend they travel a bit higher to avoid obstacles. Somewhere around 50,000 feet should do it ;-)

  13. Re:Beautiful, on-time trains on Transrapid (MagLev) Test Successful In China: 405 · · Score: 2

    Thanks for the link.
    Wow good trains.sweet

  14. Re:Duplicate story on When Personalization Runs Amuck · · Score: 2

    Good point.

    This subsection may be of more specialised interest to people here

    I come here to read the comments, and put up with old and duplicates as par for the course:-)

  15. Re:Popup Manager not included in this release on Mozilla 1.2 Unleashed · · Score: 1

    *racks tiny brain*... junkbuster?

  16. Here ya go on Security and Privacy in the US · · Score: 2
  17. Re:Popup Manager not included in this release on Mozilla 1.2 Unleashed · · Score: 2

    Proximitron works in linux under wine.

    The linux native console version is called (iirc) privoxy.

  18. Re:Yes, but now the webdesigners will have to foll on BBC says "Avoid Explorer" · · Score: 2

    It works in Opera, at least for me on windows. TBH theres not much point having that ticker anyway since the entire page is full of news ;-)
    The rest of the page/site works in every browser i've tried.

  19. Re:Quick Launch Bar on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 5

    They don't know when to stop it seems.

    "Longhorn... what can we have? Bigger fatter UI!"...
    "Lets call more things 'my....'"

    Whats with all the redundant "my..." anyway - e.g The "my" in "my hardware" is totally redundant, is a user really going to wonder if they are configuring someone else's hardware?

  20. Re:Sell out with me oh yeah on Organizing Sim Protests · · Score: 2

    You really think it will make them cheaper? Lol. You are paying for someone else to advertise to you.

  21. Re:anti semetic? on Bobby Fischer FBI Files Released Under FOIA · · Score: 2

    from the article
    "He described Jews as "thieving, lying bastards. They made up the Holocaust."

    The irony is clear: His mother was Jewish and so was Nemenyi, the man described by some as his father."

    He certainly seems racist -no i'm not going to use the special word that some people like to use just for those of semtic descent - racism is racism.

  22. Monitoring. on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How are they going to monitor it. What about a site that is about furry teddies one day and porn the next.

  23. Re:New Doctor on Douglas Adams Written Dr. Who Episode Goes Into Production · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought Pierce Brosnan was the new Doctor. Oh wait...

    No.. but in a sudden change of heart (after certain key BBC execs found new BMWs outside their houses) the Doctor will no longer use the tardis and will instead drive a BMW.
  24. Re:Webcast on Douglas Adams Written Dr. Who Episode Goes Into Production · · Score: 2

    I don't have any mod points so I will just say I found your comment insightful :-)
    It's wierd when I have both cable TV and Sky Digital and still most of the best programmes seem to be on the terrestrial channels.

  25. Re:How about this -- spam from SpamCop !? on The Economics of Spam · · Score: 2

    Thats not from spamcop - its from spammers trying to give a bad rep to spamcop. Similar to the recent emails pro-zionists forged so as to make it look like pro-palestinians were spamming them.
