  1. bleh, all style, and no content now? on The Matrix Meets The NFL · · Score: 1

    I fscked up the url with fancy target attributes, sorry.

    So now our sports will look great, but probably suck. I wrote all about how much The Matrix annoyed me at geek-ware.co.uk

    I wonder if the football players will be wearing expensive sunglasses.

  4. what happens when.... on Lego Mindstorms DJ · · Score: 5

    what happens when it gets 30yrs old?

    Does it get overweight, short, loud, annoying, lose any trace of wit and intelligence it may have had in its 'younger years', and play mediokre venues to chat up hundreds of women a nite and finally pull the dirtiest 'famous for fifteen minutes shag' girl, and ends up getting her famous for only 15 seconds then collapsing in a 'coronary waiting to happen' type slouching pile on the edge of the bed?

    Good, cos I hate DJs who do that (PS sorry for the rant, I been listening to some asshome DJ on Radio 1 here in the UK and he been pissing me off

  5. Slashdot stole OUR design on Copyrights on Web Interfaces · · Score: 1

    Talking of web-site design and layout theft, I've notice a few similarities between slashdot.org and our site, Geek-Ware

    www.geek-ware.co.uk.

    I'm going to consult our lawyers and get back to you on this one.

  6. Re:Ti-graphing calculaor on Palm M100 "Kaizo" Hack: 8 Megs On the Cheap · · Score: 1

    I got a TI-99+ and you just reminded me. I'm gonna get it out the attik and have a play.

    Its got a speech synth, a cartridge port, and the best space invader game I ever played, Parsec

    I seem to have not so much drifted off topic, more pole vaulted, sorry.

  7. Copyright Issues on Pickling Australia's Online Past, Present, Future · · Score: 2

    I'm starting to wonder where they stand on copyright here. Don't the sites, images, text and design belong to someone? Someone most likely paid for each of them along the way, isn't this, in essence, just ripping them off directly?

    I guess you can just ask for them to be taken off. I wonder if they keep a secret mirror of the mirror.

  8. Netware superior than Linux? on Open-Source Netware-Aware OS Under Construction · · Score: 2

    I think Netware is great. Its user and object mamagement is unmatched by any other server operating system I've ever used. Its sturdy, has good support, and does its job.

    I'm not sure what else you need from it, it has a purpose and fullfills it. I consider its user management to be far superior to the standard linux or NT setup.

    Altho Novell seem to be running around like headless chickens trying to decide what direction it is going in tho, trying to aim Netware 5 at the internet market is a late, and probably bad decision.

  9. MST3K saved me precious time on Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese · · Score: 1

    I used to spend hours watching B-movies and being witty about them, and nowadays all I have to do is watch someone else do it. Its great. I have a whole new lease of life

    I genuinely love MST tho, its great.

  10. Re:first contact on Intelligence In The Cosmos: Flesh or Machine? · · Score: 1

    if they look anything like 7 of 9 from Star Trek Voyager I don't think the first encounter would be very productive

    I for one would just be staring at her implants, and I'm not talking about the borg implants

  11. If they are intelligent... on Intelligence In The Cosmos: Flesh or Machine? · · Score: 3

    I'm quite sure any race of alien life more intelligent than us would see us coming a few light years away and hide like hell.

    They probably have a special moon camoflague store where they all buy stick-on craters, and moon dust to throw around

  12. Open Source Clothing on Techno Jacket · · Score: 1

    Think they'd be GPL?

    If someone rips a hole in their techie clothing they could download a patch for it *uuuugh*

    You may buy a shirt to find its still under development and the pockets aren't implemented yet

    Are the American Government going to restrict import/export of the firmware on these? Am I going to have to change my pants to get on the plane?

    A couple of things do worry me a little, where do they propose I put the batteries? and forgetting to switch the fly-mounted USB compatible live crotch-cam off whilst watching a baywatch-esque tv program

  14. Apple getting all the attention... on What's Apple's Legal Basis For Blocking Cube Previews? · · Score: 1

    A lot of people on the web are talking about this issue, its getting to be big news. Maybe thats Apples intention. You know what they say "Any publicity is good publicity."

    Making these high profile moves to cover up these details is just making me more interested in finding out about this very cool looking Mac.

    If you ask me, they should bring out a games console (or at least design one for a console company) as I'm sure it would be the sexiest console on the market. I'd buy one just to put in my room and look slick.

    Honestly tho, if the US government didn't want people investigating projects like that, why on earth do they insist on giving them mysteriously slick, susicious names like Echelon. ;)
    Hell, its even making me wonder what exatcly is causing that extra TTL decrease in all of my outgoing packets.
    and I'm pretty sure I can hear the fetid breath of a tired FBI agent listening in on my phone calls to my mom.
