  1. Bugmenot link on Linux Trademark Protection In Australia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    link

    My favoite quote from TF Lawyer "At this point, the exercise is not about extracting fees from people."

    No, not at up to A$5000, it couldnt possibly be about the money.

  2. Re:Am I the only one... on Firefox Hits 80,000,000 Downloads · · Score: 1

    But you are missing out on great sandwiches.

  4. Woah on World's Largest Telescope Begins Production · · Score: 1

    I like this visualisation of the size of this massive thing.

  5. Re:RPM ? on Hitachi's 500GB SATA-II Reviewed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    RPM isnt the only factor. Remember that this 500GB drive has much higher data density on the platters. This means that it runs over more data in 1 revolution then a 100 GB drive.

  6. Re:LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!!!! on Why I Hate the Apache Web Server · · Score: 1

    You'd think that the bullet point "Yes, I know. I wrote that line in the docs. It's still really irritating" in the presentation might have clued the (grand)parent in that Bowen was on the Apache team...

    You thought he would actually read it?

  7. Ob PCU on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 2, Funny

    Droz: Sandscrit. You're majoring in a 5,000-year-old dead language.

    Guy: Yeah.

    Droz: Latin, best I can do. Next!

    Next Guy: Phys. Ed.

    Droz: Phys. Ed. Okay, you're out of my room. Seriously. Get out.

  8. Re:State DNC lists are redundant on Do Not Call List Under Attack · · Score: 1

    Like it or not, the legitimate telemarketers are trying to run a business

    True, but nothing in the law says their buisnesses get to succede. If the public supports laws that makes your buisness fail, then the public is getting what they want. I, for one, am happy their job is so hard.

    We seem to see alot of people with failed or failing buisness models crying to the courts and the lawmakers that it "Just isn't fair that I can't make money at this anymore".

  9. Re:It is called harrasment on Do Not Call List Under Attack · · Score: 1

    Better yet, just make up the most obvious lie you can. What is your phone number? I dont have a phone. Would you like a free newspaper? No, I cannot read. What is your zipcode? I am homeless.

    The best part is the look on the other person's face.

    Also I like the new capcha, actual words. We should give extra credit to those that can use that word in their post. (though I can't see how "grenade" fits into this post)

  10. CSS on MS Urging Developers To Prep For IE 7 · · Score: 1

    I agree with you on CSS and server-side. Unfortunatly one browser dosent properly support CSS and breaks most sites. And it is the browser with 80% of the market.

  11. Re:But then again... on More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 1

    +1 Interesting? They guy just compared a hydrogen economy to the black death. WTF?

  12. Re:What happens when... on Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights · · Score: 1

    How can it be modded redundant?
    The mod thought it said "retarded" or "rediculus".

  13. Re:I think given his other actions on Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights · · Score: 1

    He is probably a sumbag just as you say. However he may be a little less of a scumbag if one reads the below quote from this post:

    No, he is still a scumbag. The quote just proves that even though Northrop produces some of the most powerful military hardware in the world, they are a bunch of pussies.

  14. Re:5 tons on Deep Impact Comet-Smashing Video · · Score: 1

    But are they metric tons or American tons?

    Who cares? It is a TON of TNT. That is a lot of force.

  15. Re:5 tons on Deep Impact Comet-Smashing Video · · Score: 1

    I prefer to measure things in Metric Assloads.

  16. FunWebProducts on Opera: Firefox User Figures 'Inflated' · · Score: 1

    I noticed FunWebProducts showing up when I was using a reporting tool on our webserver logs at work. A quick Google told me that its a peice of spyware that seems to be included in alot of things. What I found unsettling is that about 40% of all IE users had it.

  17. Re:Because it would cost them money on Why Don't Companies Release Specs? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If there aren't drivers for my OS, I won't buy their hardware.

    Well duh, I am glad you are against buying hardware you cannot use. Actually I am also glad you are not willing to change OS on a whim because there is some fancy peice of hardware you want to run.

    OS support is a feature of a product. If they dont want a segment of a market then they don't release drivers for it. If they are unwilling to put effort into an OS, then they can leave it up to the community to provide it by releasing the specs. But they don't have to if they feel they can live without the market share.

    Opening specs is a buisness decision. I personally think its a good idea, but if they dont want a certian percentage of the market, it is up to them.

  20. Re:no more ie7 tab news! on More Details on IE7 Tabs · · Score: 1

    Lets add to that, actual support for http 1.1 like gzip compression, and support for http keepalives.

    The fact that IE headers claim to support it and do not is extremly frustrating. And the "fixes" suggested by MS are to disable those advanced features.

    Oh I forgot, from MS's standpoint there are no other browsers out there.
