  1. Re:Let the market decide on TLD Registrar Wants To Charge $300 For .Pro Names · · Score: 2, Funny

    frankly if that name did become wildly popular there is nothing stopping the country registrars from offering .pro.au or .pro.uk and the like

    Wow, you wouldn't want to be in Belgium, would you?

  2. Re:Also Missing: on Debug your Code, or Else! · · Score: 1

    Nice one, thanks for that. The lack of side quests seems a bit of a shame after playing things like BG2, and I'm a bit upset that they've made the map smaller.

    Never mind - it's a three day weekend here in .uk, so it looks like I might take a stroll down to the games exchange after work and see if I can pick up a copy :-)

    It's been fixed?

    <drool>

    I carefully stayed away from it because I didn't want to get pissed off by an Ultima game after years of enjoyment... should I give it a go?

    That really reminds me of the Linux business plan.

    Perfect, with one problem. No Sky One == no decent Simpsons episodes.

    Yeah, but AOL UK have their head office in Ireland, so I wouldn't shout too loudly about your relationship with techie companies :-)

    FFS, RMS' *bath* has a bigger userbase than OS/2.

  8. Re:Dont get carried away on Teaching Linux/Unix Basics to Microsoft Junkies? · · Score: 1

    However, whereas IBM and Oracle's pricing policies are along the lines of "hold the customer upside down and shake them until all their money falls out of their pockets, then add 200% to that", MSSQL licenses are £3,000 per processor with unlimited client connectivity.

    IMHO it's more a case of DB2 and Oracle being super-heavyweight, MySQL and Postgres being somewhat lightweight, and MSSQL falling somewhere in between the two.

  12. Re:That will make the judge go easier on you on Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail · · Score: 1
    Not to mention that if the losing side could sue the judge, we'd need more judges to hear the lawsuits against the judges, who would then be sued by the side that lost the lawsuit against the first judges, which would require more judges to hear the suits against the judges who heard the suits against the judges....

    At least it keeps the lawyers off the streets :-)

    I think that quite possibly that would do far more good than we can imagine.

    Yeah, and you're in my downline, so I get 5% of all your business without doing anything :-)

    Well, no problems personally, and none that I'm aware of with sharing documents between our 100+ employees and 13000+ clients. I imagine you have had some though, which is why you posted in the first place :-)

    Still, it'd be boring if we were all the same eh?

    Well, my Office 2k here at work is quite happy with docs from previous versions of Office, and my Dad can open my Office 2k docs with his copy of Office XP.

    Anyway, *everything* can open .rtf - can't we just get everyone to live in harmony? (oops, sorry, wrong site... errr.. s/get everyone to live in harmony/cut Bill Gates into little pieces and feed them to the AOL users/)

    Office XP can open Office 97/2k documents (it can open any Office docs going as far back as you like).

    If my spouse and I both want to play this game on separate computers in the house, why should we have to buy two copies? We don't have to buy two copies of a book in order for us both to read it at the same time.

    You don't even have the option of running an SSH client on your PC!?

    Of course I do. How the fuck would I do any remote *nix work otherwise? What you seem to have missed, however, is that some companies don't allow SSH connections (or, indeed, any connections) to boxen outside of their network.
