  1. Re:No law on Ballmer Threatens Linux Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    yeah, well they have their own racketeering laws over there and don't seem to be using them either...

  2. Re:Ahem, they do not suck. on Supermarket Loyalty Cards Vs National ID Cards · · Score: 1
    hmmm... I'm single and I walk to one of a couple of places to buy food daily. I'm sure I pay a bit extra but do so willingly. We don't have those cards where I live & I pay in cash so they don't know who I am or my shopping habits. (well actually they do but only because I've been shagging one of the girls who works in the deli). The video store is a different story mostly because it's totaly automated.

    But hey... to each his own, I'm happy with my gig and it sounds like yours works for you!

    Can say about audiophiles, but I do know that Americans call valves tubes. Which is odd, being that they were called valves from the start.

  6. Re:Audiophile nonsense! on Happy 100th To The Vacuum Tube · · Score: 1
    No Way! Valve amps sound great and look great. They are also fun and interesting to build (unlike solid state amps). No Gold plated connectors or $2500 power cables required!

    I am in the palnning stages of new valve amp to build during short days of the winter.

    Out of curiosity, what are your top 10 (or 5) complaints with popular Linux distro's that are not a problem in Solaris.

    The biggest problem with that idea is that Apple & Microsoft are in largly different markets. Microsoft is aiming for all of the unwashed masses, while Apple is aiming a fair bit higher.

    Still it's been worth the effort to get all the people that I have to suport for free on to a G5 Mac of some sort. Although given the number of photos my mum is sending of her Grandkids (my sisters) sometimes I wonder....

    You know, America is more free than some places. But it's fewer places than it was in 1980 (the year I became an American) and still fewer than in 2000 (the year I left).
