  1. Re:So you're saying. . . on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    There is no pleasing some people...

    I'm simply saving some guys bandwidth a little, speeding things up and saving people from clicking through "usage agreements" and converting proprietary formats.

    Oh, and the site is hosted in Telehouse London. I'm sure with the LINX they have more than enough bandwidth.

    Nice pic but it is slow already.. :|

    I've mirrored the above image here

  3. 3rd party software on GmailFS - The Google File System · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Will this still work with the new crackdown on third party software that Google is undertaking?

    Condemned beef - I hope :| I couldn't really tell :/

    bah.. its 5pm, I've had small microwaved mince pie for lunch, some shite instant coffee, my article asking slashdot folks how to make my workplace happier got rejected, and you can see from the post subject i can spell 'Sourcecode'. And it's raining.

    Sourceode would be nice....

    "Diagrams: This model is not diagrammed. If it is one of mine, I have not had the time to draw diagrams. In other words, instructions are not available.

    Dammit.

    Hmm.. I'm trying this on our server at work, but the website seems broken :(

    Mirror ?

  9. Hardware compatiblity? on Solaris Coming to IBM's Power Architecture? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sun produces both the OS and the hardware for their machines. Apple produce the OS and hardware for their machines. Thats what makes things Just Work (tm). Plonking Solaris on a Mac isn't going to do much for hardware compatibility :|

  10. Re:IBM isn't dependent on Suse on Sun Pondering Buying Novell · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think he's very bitter towards IBM in particular. Check out his web blog entry on this matter..

  11. Ironic on Sun Pondering Buying Novell · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I find it ironic that IBM invested $50 million in Novell so they could outbid Sun, and now Sun are looking to buy Novell..

    Also, I'm worried about the rate at which tech corporations are swallowing up other companies... We seem to have lost many medium sized companies (suse, ximian, etc) as well as some huge ones (compaq).

  12. Re:Why is it... on Microsoft Plans News Aggregator · · Score: 1

    "I'm waiting for the day that Microsoft announces that they are buying back all their stock just so they can do another IPO to be like Google!"

    Hmm.. I wonder how much Google stock Microsoft will buy...

  13. Deja-vu on Microsoft Plans News Aggregator · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ahh.. the good old "rip off something another companies done" move. Good to see they are still as innovative as ever. Doesn't google own any patents on this?

  14. Re:every time on How Microsoft Could Embrace Linux · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Doom3 has Gone Gold! :D
    Duke Nukem Forever however, seems to be taking.. well.. forever., or maybe thats the whole point.. hmm..

  15. Re:Need a split on How Microsoft Could Embrace Linux · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what the DOJ ruling wanted them to do, causing MS to bleat on about how it would "impact the ability to develop quality, integrated products for customers". Yeah. Right.

    I imagine Tin Foil hats are not allowed on aircraft. Something to do with interfering with radar / comms / etc

  18. Hmm... on Microsoft Receives Patent For Double-Click · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is just twice as stupid as Amazon's 1-Click patent...

    I wonder if you can wave "Low Battery" to all of your friends :)

  20. SCREENSHOT MIRROR on Windows 98SE emulated on Pocket PC · · Score: 5, Informative

    Mirror of the screenshots here

    They are actual size, due to small pocketpc screen I presume..

  21. American Flag? on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    I find it interesting that the slashdot story icon for this is a nice wavy American flag. Is making missiles and weapons what America is proud of ?

  22. Interesting... on Red Hat Desktop Unveiled · · Score: 5, Interesting

    First they sync their release cycle with SUSE, then then rename their desktop products to personal and professional - just like SUSE, and now their releasing a Linux Desktop for the enterprise.
    Come along Redhat, do keep up..

  25. Why today? on British Chicken-Warmed Nuke · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The civil service has obviously had access to these documents for a while, so why do they have to "announce" these apparently real plans on April 1st and then get all irritable and have to deny repeatedly that its an april fools joke.
    Why didn't they release the story yesterday, or couldn't they have waited until tomorrow?
