  1. Relevance! on Are Plain-Text Ads Doomed? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There, thats the secret,

    If I go to a search engine, and theres a relevant ad I will welcome it...

    If they are trying to sell me a (insert useless item) or credit card... I DO NOT..

    Its a simple concept, why can advertisers not grasp it??

  2. Re:just buy a damn tivo on Home-Grown TiVo Stories? · · Score: 1

    If your in the UK, thats not an option anymore :(

    They withdrew the hardware, and if mine died....

    What would I do!...well build one of course...

  3. Re:Hopefully, it is faster... on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm a subscriber too!
    And even getting the Sendmail patches today was painful...

    They have not quite got their act together,
    I'm not interested that much in V9 but Sendmail
    patches are fairly critical stuff, they need
    more than one delivery route.

    With all this and 1 year of support, I'm thinking
    of the apt-get solution...!

  6. Did anyone mention legal? on UK to get Public Wireless LAN · · Score: 3, Informative

    The RA (equiv to FCC over here) has not actually licensed any commercial use of the 802.11 band here yet and it may be BT trying to force a decision from them.
    As yet what they propose is illegal in the UK.

    Consume the net anyone?

  7. Re:I can do better than that! on ZeoSync Makes Claim of Compression Breakthrough · · Score: 1
