  1. Re:set an ACL to stop this on Zero-Day IE Exploit Takes Control of PCs · · Score: 1
  2. Re:He's not pro! - Mod Parent Funny on The World of Competitive Gaming · · Score: 2, Informative

    You obviously aren't that into gaming then ;P Fatal1ty is a genuinely scary opponent, on his tours, you can usually challenge him to a 1-on-1 in some fast FPS, such as UT, Q3, Painkiller or the like. Lots of people do challenge him. I haven't heard of someone winning over him yet. A few ones actually frag (kill) him, but they're few ;)

    He's been to Denmark, and played at the Boomtown cafe, where you could also challenge him, and win some stuff (his Abit motherboard etc).

  3. PostgreSQL is good on Sun Announces Support for PostgreSQL · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Ok, a bit offtopic, but this interests me. I worked a little bit with PostgreSQL in the past and remember thinking it was pretty good - Recently in a project we used Firebird (formerly known as Interbase), and I really got to like it.
    Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of postgresql vs. firebird?

  4. Re:Looks ok, but on Windows try this on RSSOwl 1.2 Released · · Score: 1

    hahha good one, but is "Arse Owl" any better? :-D

  5. Looks ok, but on Windows try this on RSSOwl 1.2 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It looks ok. If you're on windows, though, you should try RSS Bandit - An excellent open source .NET feed reader!

  6. Had to read the headline twice on DNA and Online Search Finds Birth Parent · · Score: 1

    I had to read the headline twice. The first time it didn't make much sense to me, as I read, "DNA and Online Search Finds Birth Planet" :P
    I thought, uhm why? I, for one, am fairly sure I was born here on earth.

  7. NewsLeecher on GUBA makes Usenet search easy as Google · · Score: 1

    NewsLeecher has a built in SuperSearcher (accesses the net) that searches a HUGE amount of groups - Retention >50 days for the searcher. NewsLeecher itself is NSP-independent, so you are free to choose among the many good NSP's. GigaNews, NewsHosting, EasyNews etc etc.

  8. Re:Who was it that said... on Deep in the Core · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that link, I'd forgotten a lot of those Stephen Wright quotes - Man that guy is pure genius :)

  9. Plus on Deep in the Core · · Score: 1

    Very true! Plus the video link is only one connection, whereas browsing the web page would be four at least (the standard), or in several peoples case, many more (firefox, http pipelining, use about:config, search for pipelining, enable and increase ;) )

  10. Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet? on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet?!
    I am quite sure that if you ask some of the lawmakers in Europe, they will disagree with you :P
    Makes it sound like they only make laws in the US.

  11. What about the Danish "Storebaeltsbro"? on Italy To Build World's Longest Suspension Bridge · · Score: 1

    I was vaguely aware that the japanese bridge was the biggest. The second biggest being the danish Storebaeltsbro - That bridge is over 6 km long?! Or do they measure it a different way?

  12. Somewhat limited on Network TV Downloadable Via iTunes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's only five shows, "Lost", "Desperate Housewives", "Night Stalker" and two kids' shows, and it's $2 per episode... Is it just me or is it only available for iTunes muisc store customers who are in the USA?!

  13. NIS2005 is broken, as i Symantec support on Symantec Brings Complaint Against MS to EU · · Score: 3, Informative

    I agree with you there! NIS2k5 is the scum of the earth - I dedicated an entry on my blog to it.

  14. Uhm, nano technology on Carbon Nanotube Memory on the Way · · Score: 1

    Uhm, yeah. I thought nano technology was supposed to be small ;P

  15. Re:Yikes... on Flock, the New Browser on the Block · · Score: 1

    There is HTML in that? I thought I accidentally sneezed on my screen...

  16. Re:You keep saying that word... on C|Net Integrates Ontology Viewer Into News Site · · Score: 1

    Well, that's one meaning. There are others.

  17. Cool :) on Cursing as Peephole Into Brain Architecture · · Score: 1

    Very good :) I was also reminded of this, and of George Carlin's "fuck" monologue ;) Also WP has a nice page on the word Fuck :)

  18. Re:Keyboardless computing on Das Keyboard: Hit Any Key · · Score: 1

    Only if you are a professional pornsurfer ;-)

  19. Re:Laser Mouse? on NES Controller Laser Mouse · · Score: 4, Informative
  20. Re:Ergo? on Discussing Logitech's New Gaming Mice · · Score: 1

    Same here :( I am using an old ergonomic keyboard from Lite-ON / Tech - it's the best damn keyboard I've ever tried, and it tilt up from the front, not the back like other keyboards...
    I was really depressed to find that they stopped making them - I even tried contacting the main offices to hear if they had any old ones laying around I could buy...
    I just love the ergokeyboards... I had one from MS but that stank...

  21. Touch sensitive or pressure sensitive or both? on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    Their site says touch-sensitive technology... Does that mean that you have to remove your finger(s) from the mouse, and THEN touch it to click? Or do they actually have pressure sensitive tech in it so that you can have your hand and fingers on the mouse, as normal, and just press your finger of choice down slightly? Still, there's bound to be no small click vibration as from a normal mouse and that has to suck...
    It's kind of ...pretty I guess. But I'll stick to my MX510, and upgrade to a MX518 or better when my current one fails.

  22. Re:Broadband? on 164 Million Broadband Subscribers Worldwide · · Score: 1

    ...[i]Standardization Sector (ITU-T) recommendation I.113 has defined broadband as a transmission capacity that is faster than primary rate ISDN, at 1.5 to 2 Mbit/s.[/i]...

    Taken from Wikipedia... I just thought it was widely known :) In Denmark I think they say that true broadband starts at 2 Mbps...

  23. Broadband? on 164 Million Broadband Subscribers Worldwide · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder how many of those lines are actual broadband (connection speed at or above 1.5 Mbps). I know lots of ISP's marketing 64, 128 and 256 Kbps lines as broadband...

  24. Can you elaborate? on Slashback: Summer, Sail, Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    I don't speak English natively, and I've heard the term "statutory rape" before, but didn't really know what it meant. So I looked it up, but do I understand it correctly? Does it mean "to have sexual relations with a person under the legal age of consent"? I mean if the legal age of consent is 21, and you have sex with a 20-year old (who genuinely wants it ;), and the father finds out and gets pissed and turns you in to the police, you get busted for RAPE?! Isn't that a bit odd?
    Ok, I can see the point of the girl is way too young, but then that's child molestation or something, isn't it?

    Anyway, just wondering :)

  25. Erh on Slashback: Summer, Sail, Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    Isn't that the map of the fantaic religious alchoholic amphetamine damaged people that are currently president of the united states?
