  1. Re:More Slashdot Sensationalism on Microsoft Pulls Broken XP Update · · Score: 1

    "Also, how is this different from any automated Linux update method? Software has bugs. Patches may have bugs. Regardless of vendor, patches are not perfect and may induce problems."

    Perhaps, but debian has versions for unstable, testing, and stable.
    Windows seems to be a permanent unstable distribution. Ho hum.

  2. Re:Long awaited American version??? on Iron Chef USA debuts Friday · · Score: 1

    I'd like to take this moment to whinge about this glorious portability phenomenon here in australia. If you saw "Who wants to be a millionaire?" and "The weakest link" in their australian versions (having seen the US versions), you'd need surgery to readjust your insides.
    Australian ports usually take form in the following : bad/terrible host, loss of any sense of speed whatsoever (the number of questions on millionaire answered in an australian show is about 1/5th that of the US version), as well as endless and useless comments by the said hosts.

    From personal experience I can say the polish versions are just as bad.

    Ungh. How is it in the rest of the world? Anyone?
    Should they just give up this "moving to" ?
