    for gods sake its Litre and Metre......

  2. Re:What will they think of next? on Toyota Offers Automatic Parallel Parking Option · · Score: 1

    Years ago i saw something like this on the BBC's tomorrows world, this is like 15 years ago (maybe a little less) sorry no links to back up my statement but it did exist for a while, never really understood why it never took off cos it is such an obvious advancement, especially for city cars.

  3. well it was on What Was the Very First MP3 You Downloaded? · · Score: 1

    Perfect Drug by Nine Inch Nails to prove to my girlfriend everything existed on the net, tried out this new fanglked thing called napster and got it as it was an unavailable song at the time.

  4. as they say in the business on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1

  7. Oaklahoma on U.S. Begins Digital Fingerprinting In Airports · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How many international Terrorists does it take to blow up the Oaklahoma Building ??

    Whats the point in being paranoid about all the strange and foreign people when your school kids blow the crap out of each other and your own people do just as much terrorism with in their own borders ???

  8. Property of the Crown on The Cost of 12 Days of Christmas · · Score: 1

    You could not get swans in the UK, nor could we import them into the country and expect to own them, as they are a Royal Animal any swan in the UK is property of the crown and therefore owned by her Majesty the Queen and automatically have freedom of the realm and therefore can not be owned by the common man.

    Bummer...

  9. Re:25 hour cycle? on Living on Mars Time · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually, i think its more like a 28 hour cycle, i go caving a lot and when you stay down for several days (think camping but underground) you definatly change to 28 when you dont have to alter your clock for night and day.

  10. well..... on Living on Mars Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    Have these people never had to work to a deadline before ???

    two words for them

    JOLT COLA :)

  12. Why is slashdot on Teraflop In A Box At SC2003 · · Score: 1

    why oh why, what happened to the news these days, seriously this just seems like one big advert and it is happening more and more at the moment.

    I know that i will get trolled for this but i wanna read kewl stuff, not about #shock# a fast server (thats not even that fast really)

    oh well mod me down i can afford it (as long as my karma repayments are ok )

    um... th E ky on my keyboard only works now and again, somtims it works and sometimes it dosn't

  15. is it me or... on Napster and Gnutella Measurements · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do you alter the phrase from 'peer to peer' to 'idiots to me' in the privacy of your own head :)

  16. Took my breath away.. on Video Card History · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember plugging a 'piggy back' 12mg voodoo2 into my 4mg (or was it 8mg) Hercules graphics card, i remember installing UnReal and firing it up, when you get out of the ship for the first time and see that waterfall with the music playing i thought it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen. To this day it still ranks up there with the first time i saw a dinosaur in Jurassic Park and thinking 'this is the way to go' and being seriously in awe of all things to do with computer graphics.

    Now I have a 256mg geforcefx 5600 (some letters after it) and all games look amazing, in my other pc i have a 64mg geforce2 4400 (i think) and all games look good. Shame they dont play like Unreal did :(

    ps that voodoo2 is still going, its running on a p3 500 with a 8mg rage card, still can use it to play quake3 in a 800x600 res with pretty good textureing and fast as well :)

    ahhh any other memories or first time looks at the games that made you go 'ohhhhh thats pretty' ?

  17. What.... on MPAA School Propaganda Program Examined · · Score: 1

    Picture it, a little more donation and..

    'I pledge Aleigance to the flag, i will be a mindless sheep in the face of the giant corp's blah blah blah'

    Where is the educational value in this, nowhere what so ever, why waste valuable school time in teaching this. I bet at the end of the day they dont mention anything along the lines of fair use or the right to make copies.

  18. BUT ITS A M$ SMARTPHONE on First 1.1Mpixel 192MB SmartPhone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know i know it looks good etc etc but at the end of the day good stats do not make for a good phone, i have a p800 and i will get a p900 when it comes out, and it runs on Symbian (do not spell that wrong when doing a search.....trust me)

    thats means there is plenty of free open source programmes out there to keep you going for years, if i want a top camera i'll either take my kodak 3600 out (3.2mp) or my Fuji Finepix s603(6mp).

    Think before you buy, good stuff to LG for making this but dont rush to buy until you see the test (a pointless statement i know but the general tone of the intro has made me think twice)

  19. Re:bittorent on Swarthmore Students Keep Diebold Memos Online · · Score: 1

  20. Re:France on Dilbert Readers Rat Out Some Weasels · · Score: 1

    you make a convincing arguement, its a shame every American that feels slighted talks like a sub-intellect moron like yourself.

  21. Re:I'm sick of those bashing the French! on Dilbert Readers Rat Out Some Weasels · · Score: 1

    This is true, the Americans should be banned from trashing the French, you have only known them for about 300 years, now the English, theres a country that really has an ingrained low level hatred of them, 2000 years of fighting near enough and still wageing war (albeit on the rugby field)

  22. Re:What a bunch of pathetic asswipes on Dilbert Readers Rat Out Some Weasels · · Score: 1

    Come on.. Sadam was not a weasel, he did everything in your face, there was no back handing sneaky shit on his part, he was an evil son of a gun and a truely heartless bast@rd but not a weasel..

    now GWB is another matter all together..
