  1. Dons mirrored shades 'n' jacks into Wintermute on OMNI Magazine Remembered · · Score: 1

    Man that just flicked the coolest retro switch in my head ... guess its time to read Neuromancer again.

  2. Re:419 Scams are named for their law they break on Scambaiting Gets Comical; Internet Scammers All Dressed Up · · Score: 5, Insightful

    An obvious scam the government can't afford to shut down because of the taxes it brings in? We have one of those too ... its called the tobacco industry.

  3. This screws up other innocent good guys too on Malware and Botnet Operators Going ISP · · Score: 1, Interesting

    We have 4 dedicated servers with about 20 IP's spread across them and started getting mail rejections.This turned out to be because the whole range if IP's the hosters had used got blacklisted by spamhaus for exactly the reason stated in the article - one other "customer" had spammed with his IP's so spamhaus just added the whole range to their RBL.

  4. So if his daughters used his name on Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect · · Score: 0

    they'd get screwed too?

  5. Re:How does it compare to the Droid? on Google Releases Experimental Phone To Employees · · Score: 0

    GSM is a pretty darn well-defined spec. The FCC compliance process takes months and is amongst the strictest in the business. You either conform completely or you don't get a licence. So WTF are these flavours you speak of?

  6. Hmm... just when Google want us to leave GSM too! on Open Source Attempt To Crack GSM Encryption · · Score: 0

    It must be purely a co-incidence that Google Voice is rumoured to be coming on the Android Googlephone real soon now. ;-)

  7. Yeah, lets have loads more cellphone platforms on Nokia Offers Glimpse of Symbian Facelift · · Score: 0

    Its all about consumer choice see, and a zillion incompatible ones sure gives the user that all right.

  8. Fate is such a fickle mistress on SETI@Home Install Leads To School Tech Supervisor's Resignation · · Score: 0

    If any of those machines had really found aliens this guy would have quite possibly become the most famous man who ever lived. Instead he's off burger flipping if he's lucky.

  9. This is coming anyway with 4G on Google Attack On the Mobile Market Rumored · · Score: 0, Interesting

    4G is IP only - it *only* carries data. Perhaps Googles adoption of voice over the current 3G system will speed up 4G developments.

  10. Re:I think I'm ill on Microsoft Open Sources .NET Micro Framework · · Score: -1

    As long as its not cancer you're fine, because it was only 5 minutes ago that the chair thrower was telling the world thats what OSS is.

  11. You'd make $1m in Google ads on Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google · · Score: -1

    If you were one of the busiest 1000 sites on the net you'd pull in $1m in what - a week?

  12. Fat Elf? Nah, Porky Gnome is better.. on Ryan Gordon Ends FatELF Universal Binary Effort · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Oh sorry, thought were were talking funky distro names.

  13. Re:Diseases never prevented long distance travels on Disease May Prevent Manned Journey To Mars · · Score: 0

    Those same diseases were what killed many of the people they "conquered", the natives having no immunity to them at all.

  14. Also a new Wii for older gamers on Can Nintendo Really Be Planning Another DS Variant? · · Score: 0

    Comes with Super Mario Incontinence Bathroom Run

  15. Yippee! Cry the app vendors on Comparing the Freedoms Offered By Maemo and Android · · Score: 0

    Another format to write for, because like iPhone, Android, J2ME, Symbian, WebOS, & win mobile just isn't stretching us enough.

  16. Its ok, m$ will still be supporting XP then too on "2012" a Miscalculation; Actual Calendar Ends 2220 · · Score: 0, Funny

    Those pesky end of life deadlines keep getting pushed back, even though we'll all be on Windows 666, the "fastest most secure OS we've ever launched"

  17. The net was designed to survive a nuke attack on Cyberterror Not Yet a Credible Threat, Says Policy Thinktank · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Lets hope it never gets tested!

  18. Re:Android Validation on Android Goes To the Battlefield · · Score: 0

    Well, you sure never hear of iPhones being used like this. Whether it's Androids open source or the multitasking that's triggered it I don't know, but I do get the feeling we'll be hearing a lot more off-handset application stories in the future.

  19. Piracy on Android is much worse on App Store Developer Speaks Out On Game Piracy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Unfortunately the usual places carry the lot. One conspiracy theory goes that as Google at heart are an advertising company, rather than play DRM/lockdown why not "encourage" authors to give away apps funded by ads - in which case what does piracy matter?

  20. Its the start of a new way to sell Android Apps on Google To Take On iTunes? · · Score: 0

    Lets face it - the Android Market mechanism itself sucks. If they were gonna do a desktop buy-n-sync system, the iTunes model is the one to follow. Looks like they are just following Apples pattern.

  21. Just phones? on 50+ Android Phones Expected In Near Future · · Score: 0

    Meh. Our Japanese friends have moved onto fridges.

  22. Re:The UK isn't a country on Windows 7 Released Early In UK · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    True. In fact being that sovereignty means it itsn't even a democracy, technically.

  23. In other news,TPB report expected UK Torrent storm on Windows 7 Released Early In UK · · Score: 0

    Over the next 3 days

  24. Open Source eh? phurl will be pleased on URL Shortener tr.im To Go Community-Owned, Open Source · · Score: 0

  25. Uh ho on Microsoft, Nokia Team To Add Mobile Office Apps To Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Hi! I'm Crappy, your personal handset buddy. I noticed you pressed a number on your phone keypad. It looks like you're trying to make a call. Would you like me to continue to interfere with this even though you almost certainly know what you want to do?".
