  1. Re:largest yacht on Paul Allen the 'Accidental Zillionaire' · · Score: 1

    Oh that's finished now? I saw a show on TV in November and the boat was still being built when it was filmed. Hmm April launch. Thanks! So Larry was biggest for a few months. I still think his yacht is the best looking.

  2. largest yacht on Paul Allen the 'Accidental Zillionaire' · · Score: 1

    Isn't Larry's yacht the new largest?

  3. Re:tax on U.S. Ecommerce To Be Broadly Taxed? · · Score: 1

    Ahem... You don't seem to get economics - it is the little guy who should shoulder the tax burden leaving the rich to get on with having a good time.

  4. one more vicory! on FTC Declares Can-Spam a Success · · Score: 1

    After the war on drugs

    Then the war on terror

    We are proud to announce that the war on spam has been won!

    These three victories in a row just go to show how good I am at this pres. thing. Vote for me again. I promise oil prices will go down if you elect me again. If you give me a large public vote majority I may even consider a war on corruption in the administration and hey! why not a war on lection fraud.

  5. Re:And if you are lonely this holiday season... on Little Red Book Draws Government Attention · · Score: 1

    Someone should tell these guys that this is 2005 and not 1965. What would have happened if he had asked for the xxxxxxx (holy book of the xxxxxx faith that can't be named in public in your country)?

  6. Re:Torvalds is 'out there' on Torvalds Says 'Use KDE' · · Score: 1

    He is into a Bill Gates kind of phase, oh cool!

    He doesn't use a Sony Vaio C1XD any more that is for sure. There aren't enough pixels on that screen to draw the KDE interface let alone draw a term. Hey Linus, you need a term on the screen to compile new kernels!

  7. AJAX on Zero-Day IE Exploit Takes Control of PCs · · Score: 1

    No javascript no AJAX Bill...

    Ho Hum...

  8. Oh great on Get Ready For The 20-inch Laptop · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Those dc/dc converter boards on The Mini-ITX Project Revisited · · Score: 1

    Two years long enough? On 24/24.

  10. That should read... on Holding Developers Liable For Bugs · · Score: 1

    ... project manager. The project manager is responsable not the coder (unless they are one and the same person). And if they are wage earners their company should include liabilty insurance in their salary package.

    But then that would be the honest way to do things - beating the shit out of an over worked underpaid joe is much more fun when you are lawyer.

  11. Re:Kill Television ? on 20 Lawmakers Want to Kill Your Television · · Score: 1

    What is a book? Ah the things I have the TV set propped up on! You can use those for something else...

  12. Send us you criminals on U.S. Announces Global Intellectual Property Plan · · Score: 1

    OK US law applies outside the US then our law applies in the US. I'm coming over to arrest a few people for crimes against humanity. Oh sorry I forgot, the US governement doesn't recognise that law...

  13. Re:I wish... on Blocking a Nation's IP Space · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What a load of isolationist crap.

    I am in France and 99% of spam I get is from the USA, for US products.

    The actual machines being used to transmit ARE NOT in the USA. The problem is at the source - i.e. the companies who are doing the spamming. The secondary problem is that people in China don't know how to secure their machines...

  15. Re:mea culpa on Bill Gates Swears Vow Against 'Son of iPod' · · Score: 1

    This person does not know how to express himself correctly in English - American or vanilla English. Listening to him speak or reading quotes from his speeches is enough to make any high school language teacher choke.

  16. Re:Mental Note. Avoid mind police on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 1

    * Australians don't drink water they drink beer
    * Australians have decided to out USA the USA on all points including stupidest head of state and most mind fscked legal system

  18. Re:Clarifications on City of Vienna Chooses Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    * we don't have sex with sheep. That's what New Zealanders do.

    Correct: Australians don't have sex, they drink beer. New Zealanders have all the sex with frustrated Australian women. The fleece is just there to confuse the Australian men (and it's comfy out there in the desert).

    * most Australians ARE called Bruce
    * most Australians go out in drag on Saturday night and are then called Sheila (this is very confusing for NZ sex tourists!)
    * all gay Australians live in London, England's West End (beware of girls called Sheila with strong accents when on vacation in London...)

  19. air pollution... on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    ... also destroys peoples, animals and plants health. I don't think that spaceships are going to help much healing that.

    Wouldn't it just be better (and create more jobs in the US) if you started working on reducing air pollution in all its forms?

    Then we only have China to worry about. Oh! And India...

    Home Theater: Price of movie anywhere from $3.00 to FREE (for whole room).


    Cost of renting or buying movie
    Cost of home theater equipment divided by number of days of expected life of said equipment

    So a little more than free. But no badly behaved kids kicking the back of your seat. No tall person sitting in front of you. Chair is always comfortable...
