  1. Re:X-33 on US Military May Resurrect X-33 · · Score: 1

    No, they've just got loads more money and nothing useful to spend it on.

  2. Permanancy on Mir 2 · · Score: 1

    Isn't the ISS coming down in 10 years due to atmospheric drag as it has to be in a low enough orbit for the shuttle to reach it ?

  3. Blatant troll on Reaching Unsanctioned TLDs With A Plug-In · · Score: 1

    And not a single truthful statement in it.

  4. Not again! on Completely Artificial Hearts Approved · · Score: 1

    Looks like another 'beating human heart done in plastic' despite the fact that a small impeller in a tube is as effective and only a fraction of the size. Doctors make lousy engineers.

  5. Re:Nuclear is good on Global Warming Worse Than Thought · · Score: 1

    Nah, Chernobyl showed the drawbacks of centralised state control and has sod all to do with communism.

  6. Duh, it's all a commie plot! on Global Warming Worse Than Thought · · Score: 1

    Hah, back to your fortified wilderness retreat before the black helicopters get you.

  7. Re:CCTV in the UK on What Privacy? UK DNA Database Could Grow Fast · · Score: 1

    It's neither welcome or unwelcome. I would think that most people don't even notice the cameras. If it's not pointed out to them on the TV or the front pages of the tabloid papers then nobody notices or cares, hence RIP, surveillance cameras, etc.

  8. Re:Under DMCA, it CAN be ALL of them... on All Digital TVs To Include Copy Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Fortunately the U.S's DMCA means sod all to those of us living elsewhere.

  9. ATA drives on Copy Protection Galore · · Score: 2

    I note that only ATA drives are mentioned. SCSI would seem to have been overlooked for the moment.

  10. Re:Noone's fault but ours on id On Linux: Bad News · · Score: 1

    Hey, I've paid for games. I've bought Quake1, Quake2, Quake3, Doom, Doom2, all of which were Windows versions and none of which I'd have bought without a Linux executable being available as I don't have Windows.

  11. Re:Obvious Question: Who read the EULA? on EULA In Games · · Score: 1

    I don't read them, but then I've no intention of sticking to them anyway.

  12. Re:Sounds good to me..... on Will Britain Log All Communications For 7 Years? · · Score: 1

    If the police and security services are actually competent enough (and have enough storage space) to log all the net traffic and phone calls for seven years I'll eat my own arse.

  13. Plugins all suck anyway on Plugin Availability For Non-x86 Browsers? · · Score: 1

    I've yet to encounter one that was at all useful
    or that enhanced the browsing experience much at all

  14. Re:No, seriously! on Europe Starts Debate On Patents · · Score: 1

    The smaller and less wealthy countries are easier for big companies and the US government (which wants software patents in Europe apparently) to bribe, threaten and otherwise lean on.

  15. Re:Standards... on What Does The Future Hold For Linux? · · Score: 1

    Configuration file formats aren't really a kernel issue though.

  16. Just out of curiosity on Merchant Republics of Cyberspace · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many of those here decrying the idea of the decline of the nation state are Americans,
    as the idea that their nation will last forever seems much more deeply ingrained in them than in other industrialised nations.

  17. Re:What nations does the order apply to? on Linux Drivers For Free Barcode Scanner Cease-And-D... · · Score: 1

    Er, hardly.

  18. Re:DMCA on Are 'Server Emulators' Legal? · · Score: 1

    Thankfully the DMCA doesn't apply to us folks outwith the USA.

  19. U.S. only. on More Threats From The MPAA · · Score: 1

    They can't do anything about sites hosted outside the U.S. anyway.

  20. Re:Yeah, but... on The Tragedy of the Digital Commons · · Score: 1

    The phone charges don't really apply since the uploads happen while you're online downloading stuff anyway.
