  1. Re:Would buying a subscription filter this story? on OpenBSD 3.2 Pre-Release · · Score: 1, Troll

    I see no endorsement of the product. => Not an Ad.

    If your company makes a product involving software published under the GPL or BSD license, submit it to /. you might get on the front page, and it will cost you nothing.

    Oh wait, you're just whining.

  2. Re:Port to OpenBSD soon perhaps? on NetBSD-Current Gets SMP · · Score: 1

    I thought it was only spinup?

  3. Re:Port to OpenBSD soon perhaps? on NetBSD-Current Gets SMP · · Score: 1

    Hell, I'd be happy if they could get it into NetBSD/sparc.

  4. Re:When it Slashdotted, here is the conclusion on Hard Drives Evaluated for Noise, Heat and Performance · · Score: 1

    Unless you use your GXP120 for more than 8hrs a day...

  5. Re:Of course.. on Boston's Big Dig Delayed Because of Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Errrrm, no. In London we've decided to ban private cars from the centre of the city.

  6. Re:As usual...Unbiased News for the masses... on 1 Year Anniversary of Nimda Outbreak · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's not news for the masses, it's for nerds, a subset of the masses.

    I'm hoping I've been trolled.

  7. Re:Concerns on VoIP Cell Phones Coming · · Score: 1

    If you ever owned a Sinclair Spectrum, then, yes, you did.

    Z80 processor, 24k ram, audio tapes for storage.

  8. Re:General OK, but tech bad on BBC Hails "fair" Microsoft XP SP1 · · Score: 1

    But the worst thing is that, as of two weeks ago, Mozilla 0.9.8 explodes after loading the main page.

  9. Re:Why they on Wireless Pedal Power Computing in Laos · · Score: 1

    Because they don't have lots of manufactured infrastructure.

    Wheras I'm sure they have lots of folks to turn the crank.

    Infrastructure = expensive
    People = cheap
    (at least in Laos)

  10. Re:Neverwhere on Gaiman's American Gods Wins Hugo · · Score: 1

    Also try "Stardust" by the same author. It has a truly magical feel.

  11. Re:A.Gods was great, but Neverwhere?!? on Gaiman's American Gods Wins Hugo · · Score: 1

    The director you're thinking of is Terry Gilliam.

    Although judging by the sucess of his last movie he might have a little trouble raising the funds for the next one.

  12. Re:Neverwhere on Gaiman's American Gods Wins Hugo · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you enjoyed the Lewis Carroll influences, I'd suggest your pick up Gaimans' new book "Coraline". I'd forgotten just how terrifying buttons can be.

  13. Re:Handy Swipes(tm) on MIT Steals Comic Book Character · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough, in English "Swipe" is slang for theft. There's a difference between using images from a stock portfolio, copying someone elses work, and drawing your own.

  14. Re:Ever been to an estate sale? on Diamonds - Are They Really Worth the Cost? · · Score: 1

    Funny, I bought mine a lovely three stone diamond ring at auction. Platinum mount, C.1920.
    She knew it was second hand (she wrote the entry in the catalogue) but she didn't seem to think it was important.

  15. Re:Wow... on A Private European Internet? · · Score: 1

    Preach it brother!

  16. Re:Is it really yours? on Hack Your Phone, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Vodafone and O2 won't share their imei blacklist with Orange and T-mobile.

    Maybe they can't! Maybe the manufaturers issued overlapping imeis to different providers (Back in the day when phones were only available bound to a provider for life)

  17. Even better was Reg's TV station on Back on TV: Max Headroom · · Score: 1

    Big Time Television.
    Tagline: "24 hours a day, making tomorrow seem like yesterday"
    It seemed to show a lot of videos with Divine in it.
    Best of all was Reg's voice over:"This is Big Time television, filling your minds with endless drek, next up" pauses to look at schedules "more of the same"
    Insightful.

  18. Re:OS on Rolling Your Own Business Desktops? · · Score: 1

    OpenBSD makes a great workstation. ; P

  19. It's simple on Microsoft Interoperability and the GPL? · · Score: 1

    They've been consistantly hypocritical from the start.

  20. Re:Best of all... on Setting up an Internet Cafe? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, should have read "not impressed by the hardware they have"

  21. Best of all... on Setting up an Internet Cafe? · · Score: 1

    The sister cafe is the meeting place for the local LUG.

    I'm impressed by the hardware they have, but the shopfront of CB1 is just beautiful.

  22. Last seen in "Ca$h Converters"... on Where Old Macs Go To Thrive · · Score: 1

    Apple Newton with soft case and all the bits for only 70UKP. I think it may still be there.

  23. Tunes are better than... on OpenBSD 3.1 Preorders (And Tunes) Available · · Score: 1

    Anything the commercial OS vendors could come up with : )

    I've got a graaaphics piiiipe

  24. Re:Linux causes marriage break-ups? on Spolsky Stands Firm on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I just bought her a Mac.

  25. Re:32MB ROM, 128MB RAM?? on User Review of Transmeta-Based Aquapad · · Score: 1

    And running OSX with 128MB of RAM is dog slow, at least on a 600MHz iBook.
