  1. Re:Code = Art on Essay on Open Source as an Art Form · · Score: 1

    I don't "frequent" art galleries, but I do spend time in cd stores, which have great art.

    I would say this is IMHO, but I am speaking for the entire southern hemisphere. Really, No shit.

    Oooh look, a NSI related company at au.com - where you're supposed to buy a yourname.au.com domain!

    It helps ensure your domain coverage, wow, peachy keen.

  4. Re:MS is afraid, Very afraid on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    NT is a big penis, powerful and does it's thing and pleases girls (and guys) blindingly well but it goes soft. Linux is a little penis, but it keeps on keeping on.

    Linux is a youthful gogetter, learning wisdom and evolving around ideas and concepts (and it hasn't reached puberty). NT is an smart old man, adapting (in a top-down model kinda way) and doing the best with what it's got. NT is eccentric.

    ooh ooh, and NT gets std's.

  5. Re:Telecom is just clueless. on Telecom NZ proposes 2c/min Modem Tax · · Score: 1

    They're smart. Play like the local exchange can't take all the data calls, mention 111 responses being impared, move people to push the old technology exchange to it's limit and never upgrade it...

    and then it falls over, people complain, Telecom say they can't upgrade without raising dial rates and.. you know... it would help if we got that agreement with the Government trashed too.

    (In the long run the only way to get out of bottleneck government restrictions is to act like it's a noose)

  6. Re:So? on Linux Jobs at Microsoft: PR Rep · · Score: 1

    It's black and white.

    Microsoft want to make it gray.

    Many new users couldn't tell the difference and some old would move to proprietry if it's better.

    Linux relatively lacking user friendly applications (and installations) is probably Microsoft's best alli, and so the race begins.

    Hold me mummy,

    Little Stalker Boy, he's just misunderstood.

  7. Re:Mozilla... Is it even worth the download? on Mozilla M6 released · · Score: 1

    From my experience IE handles CSS better than Mozilla, there are some problems with it doubling up properties like underline && overline, and some support for cursor: among other things is quite bad.

    I wish Mozilla was better, and it seems to slowly be getting so but at the moment IE5 is sexy.

    Compare browsers on this HTML tutor that i'm slowly writing (404's aplenty, don't bother reporting).

  8. Re:XML for 2000? on StarOffice 5.1 released · · Score: 1

    Yes, XML for MS Office 2000, and when you publish it online which browser do you think will render it correctly?

    (haha!)

    Incidentally, has anyone else noticed what happens when you view a .doc file online with IE5?

    (and i was wondering why my hdd was churning so bad)

    It's change for the sake of change, on microsoft's part, the file size increases and Office2000 can't nearly do as many things as whatever their last version was (not that it matters too much). What's good though is that after a while they'll find ways to implement everything and then as it's so open 3rd party can make their own tools. Silly Microsoft!! you've gone and slipped up there, you were only be temporarily evil.
