  1. Re:Upload is what we need on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 1

    True. I've just had a freebie upgrade from 1MB/128kB to 4MB/384kB and it's the upstream speed that's made all the difference. VoIP now works like a charm. Bittorrent and aMule need no longer hog all the upsteam bandwidth to get decent download speeds.

  2. Is it time .... on Europe Building Their Own GPS · · Score: 1

    ... for the annual transatlantic GPS flamewar already?

  3. Re:Linux Lover? on Blender 2.40 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm guessing the article was submitted by a linux fan.

    Why? It's a Windows and OSX app too.

  4. Re:Volunteerism and private enterprise win again on Blender 2.40 Released · · Score: 1

    Private enterprise != Capitalism

  5. Pointless on Symantec Restricts Crypto Export · · Score: 1

    Those in US or Canada pay Symantec for it. Rest of the world downloads it for nothing from Bittorrent or eDonkey and Symantec doesn't get a penny.

  6. Re:Fake license plates... on Britain to log all vehicle movement · · Score: 2, Informative

    The police don't have the time to chase down all the duplicate plates.
    Number plates in the UK aren't some officially supplied thing, they're plastic strips that garages make themselves. I think that if you get a set made up they're now supposed to ask for proof that the registration number is yours but in practice noone bothers.

  7. Re:Global Warming! on Failing Ocean Current Raises Fears of Mini Ice Age · · Score: 1

    Then Europe gets cold for a while
    Not just Europe, and for quite a long while.

  8. Re:Yes, but does in run on Quake2 Ported to Java, Play Via the Web · · Score: 1

    You can download Java Web Start from here.

  9. Storm in a teacup. on U.S. Insists On Keeping Control Of Internet · · Score: 1

    The US doen't have control of the internet. Not in any real sense.

  10. Re:No no no on Unpatched Firefox Flaw May Expose Users · · Score: 1

    Just checked about:config, I have network.enableIDN set to true and it still doesn't work.

  11. Re:Nope - not on my v1.06 Firefox on Unpatched Firefox Flaw May Expose Users · · Score: 1

    Did nothing here, just a blank page. FF 1.06/Debian unstable. Disabled greasemonkey in case that was messing it up but still nothing.

  12. Re:Proof of concept on Unpatched Firefox Flaw May Expose Users · · Score: 1

    Didn't work here, tried left and middle clicking.
    Firefox 1.06/Debian unstable

  13. Re:Any one try downloading the torrent yet? on TB-303 Give-Aways from Propellerheads and d-lusion · · Score: 1

    Connected to 1 seed [81.92.66.41] and 0 peers.
    Not really saving themselves any bandwidth are they :\

  14. Re:Move New Orleans on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    why not move New Orleans to where the Lake was

    Because the lake will still be there. It isn't a freshwater lake, it's connected to the Gulf of Mexico

  15. Re:This is a pointed quote right now. on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    Blaming it on Bush is a joke.

    Yep, I'm blaming it on 'Bush is a joke' too.

  16. And don't you just know ..... on Laser Cannons Coming to an F-16 Near You · · Score: 1

    ... that it'll cost a fortune and wont work worth a damn.

  17. Re:This is a good thing on Europe to Join Russia Building Next Space Shuttle · · Score: 1

    The USA already has a tiny penis. It must be all those steroids. This would also explain the patients aggressive behaviour and impending heart failure.

  18. Re:The REAL news ... on 10 Best Resources for CSS · · Score: 2, Informative

    I notice slashcode seems to have done away with table layout, on the main page anyway.

  19. Re:"AirLink" products on Linux Hacked Onto Fry's Cheap Wireless G Router · · Score: 1

    IPv6 support

  20. Re:Toss Hollywood on Battlestar Galactica Resurrection Effort Described · · Score: 1

    BSG2K is filmed in Canada ISTR.

  21. I'm curious ... on Stroustrup on the Future of C++ · · Score: 4, Funny

    .. as to the pronunciation of 'C++0x'. Any suggestions ?

  22. Re:Lalah on Physicists Uncover TV Show Biases · · Score: 1

    because previously European matters of national pride (read "pissing contests") were settled (or not) with guns and bombs.

    See also Jeux sans Frontieres

  23. Find a doorknob that Shrub has used .... on Library to Require Fingerprint to Use PCs · · Score: 1

    .. and just follow the instructions.
    How to fake fingerprints.

  24. Re:Slashdot for mobile on Web Design Hampers Mobile Internet? · · Score: 1

    slashdot.org/palm reads fine on my T610, although you can't post.

  25. Re:I've got faith... on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    How much would it cost to have it buried at a crossroads at midnight. It was cheesily awful and always reminded me of that 'Mr Really Bad Toupee Wearer' Budweiser ad.
