  1. Worlds Richest women appear to be American on RFID Industry Confidential Memos · · Score: 1

    They appear to be heirs of the Wal-Mart fortune.

  2. It's a demonstration of their services on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 1

    The fact the results might be somewhat useful to the Apache community is a happy bonus.

  3. The reports do document and explain the defects. on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: -1, Redundant

    So yes, they have been identified and can be looked at quite easily.

    Presumably the reasoning (heh) behind releasing these reports is so they can show their service is useful and drum up business.

  4. The article doesn't say that at all. on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 1

    It says the results are "objective and comparable across software applications, development methodologies, and coding styles".

  5. Sights you never thought you'd see. on Space Blog · · Score: 5, Funny


    Number 29:
    Americans complaining about Russians behaving like capitalists.

  6. Looks like there might be some plans. on Gnumeric Turns 5 · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you can infer from this comment from Jody.

  7. Do you understand what "popular" means? on Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip · · Score: 1

    The question was what do Australians drink and the answer is that they drink more VB than any other beer. VB alone accounts for 25% of Australias beer market.

    That doesn't mean it's the best beer. Personally I'm working my way through a case of James Squires Amber Ale.

  8. Australia's most popular beer on Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip · · Score: 0, Offtopic
  9. Queue thousands of "middle finger" gesture jokes.. on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 1

    People look silly enough talking on hands free phones while in the car. If they are waving their arms about at the same time they are going to look positively psychotic.

  10. Re:WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.... on Phish Moves To FLAC · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The point I was trying to make (albeit rambling a bit) was that while lossless is a wonderful thing the percaentage of their audience who wants, no demands their music in a lossless format is probably a small one.
    Which might be a valid point were they not introducing it due to customer requests.....
  11. Why read the article on Niue Gets Island-Wide WiFi · · Score: 3, Funny

    When you can just make shit up?

  12. There was plenty of shit in the 70s too on Artists Protesting Single-Song Downloads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's simply that time has erased the majority of that shit from our memories.

  13. Re:Perhaps this 44% will offset a tiny part on U.S. Imposes Big Tariffs On Korean Chipmakers · · Score: 1

    I wasn't bitching about farmers.
    I was merely pointing out the blatent hypocracy at the American government complaining about subsidies being used to prop up an industry that is important to a country.

    It is also not clear to me why farm products are "underpriced". Is this not a result of subsidies? I'm certainly under the impression that is why Australian farmers find it difficult to sell to the US. Not because they can't produce high quality product at reasonable prices but because prices in the US are artificially low because of subsidies.

  14. Perhaps this 44% will offset a tiny part on U.S. Imposes Big Tariffs On Korean Chipmakers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    of the 190 billion in subsidies the American Government will be passing out to farmers over the next ten years.

  15. Cacophony on Europe, Free Speech, And The Internet · · Score: 1
    Jarring, discordant sound; dissonance
    This legislation enables discordant and dissonant voices to be heard we roughly equal volume to the original voice of an article. Sounds like it should promote liberty rather than hinder it according to Declan's beloved judge....
  16. Re:Do what I did.. on More Incompatible DVDs and CDs Coming Your Way · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Despite rumours, I can also report that this CD works as normal in both my cars' CD changers (Ford and Audi), and in all 5 of the the "regular" CD players in the house.
    Which is all well and good. But what about your next car or the next media center you buy? An often unconsidered problem with these things is the future. As a consumer I can be safe in the knowledge that barring physical damage every CD I buy will be playable in any device bearing a Compact Disc logo. With these "copy controlled" discs I have no such garauntee.

    If you have one of these things and didn't buy it knowingly send it back and complain to you consumer advocates about innapropriate labeling.
  17. Suggestion on Lobbyists Urge South Australia To Drop Open Source Bill · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Either a) Get new lawyers. b) Stop trolling.

  18. Morality based exceptions in the US too on Europe To Force Right of Reply On Internet Communication · · Score: 1

    The fact is that Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms just expresses things more realistically in relation to the requirements for a civil society. The 1st Amendment may sound absolute but it simply isn't in reality.

  19. Going off a cliff? on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 1

    Were that to happen I'm sure there'd be ample supporting evidence. Like a great big rock face.

    Seriously though, surely these devices record datapoints with enough resolution to identify momentary tire slippage.

  20. Because it got submitted a billion times? on Red Hat License Challenged · · Score: 1

    perhaps.

  21. I thought Buffy's voice was done quite well on Buffy - Chaos Bleeds Gets Staked Out · · Score: 1

    Though I too abandoned the game on the "Dream Level".

    Repeatedly plummeting to your death just isn't all that interesting.

  22. More prior art than that. on Public Domain Enhancement Act petition · · Score: 1

    The ??AA have been doing automated fund submission for copyright extension for years.

    They call them political donations.

  23. I vote both on Searchking Loses Suit Against Google · · Score: 1

    The average usenet troll is probably more reasonable than the "offer to settle".

  24. Cynical bastards on Nucular Hydrogen Economy · · Score: 1

    A terrorist attack, a war (sic) on terror and then every cynical bastard with an agenda to push sticking "Freedom" on the front of it to garner support.

  25. Check the dept, it's a joke on Nucular Hydrogen Economy · · Score: 1

    Although it's a fairly trollish one of negligable humour value.
