  1. Re:Let the flamewar....COMMENCE! on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: -1

    Entirely created in FCP? Try again, numbnuts.

    EDITED entirely in FCP quite possibly, not CREATED.

  2. Re:I wonder... on Win a Part in the Hitchhiker's Guide · · Score: -1

    Well, I'm British and I've been 3 times this month and suffered the attendant wallet hemorrhage.

    If you can possibly avoid it, NEVER break one of your teeth. NEVER EVER break TWO of your teeth...

    What?

    Is your message in code and, if so, could you provide the key please?

  4. Re:What's with the French? on The Future of Optical Fibre · · Score: -1

    The Normans CONQUERED Britain, they didn't merely invade England.

    That's why we call him "William the Conqueror" (or William the Bastard if you prefer).

    Loose?

  6. Re:For those that just read the summary on Lauren Weinstein: If MTV Calls, Hang Up · · Score: -1

    "1) They don't speak English natively"

    I'll bet that they do and are American - these are all classic American grammar and spelling disaster areas:-

    looser - loser
    rediculous - ridiculous
    then - than
    definately - definitely
    would of - would have
    "that big of a deal" - "that big a deal"
    etc

  7. Re:They aren't the only ones. on Beastie Boys' New Album Silently Installs DRM Code · · Score: -1

    Out of the frying pan into another frying pan.

  8. Re:Kenwood Music Keg on Enterprise-class Car Audio · · Score: 0

    I've got one of those too, quite a good little unit - absolutely refuses to work with DRM'd CDs too, which entirely justifies my ripping them and then sending them back for a refund.

  9. Re:Technical Explanation on 70 Megapixel Webcam · · Score: 0, Informative

    What you're seeing is ALIASING, not Moiré, and it's entirely due to the resizing of the original image for the website - did you really think that small panorama was 70MP? My desktop is 1344x1008 = 1.35MP and the website picture is quite a bit smaller than that.

  10. Re:it will take a supercomputer... on The Technology Behind Formula One · · Score: -1

    You could never describe Coulthard as a "winning driver". the guy's a fucking disgrace, and journeymen like him are what's stopping more talented kids knocking Schuey off his perch.

  11. Re:Apple could build a G5 powerbook now. on RIP G4 PowerMac · · Score: -1

    That's good information, and would certainly explain why the backsides of the CPUs AREN'T cooled on the 2.5GHz liquid cooled module that I've seen pictures of.

  12. Re:Why run Linux? on Renderfarm Setup Tips? · · Score: -1

    Yeah, freedom from leisure time, girlfriends and any kind of social life.

    Ferdinand Porsche, I think.

  14. Re:And only 3 to 5 years before I can buy one... on 40" OLED Television Revealed at SID · · Score: -1

    Plasma and LCD screens make TERRIBLE TVs, but that doesn't stop people buying them...

  15. Re:He seems a dangerous driver (serious) on LA to Oregon at Mach 9 · · Score: -1

    You must be trolling, either that or you're the biggest cunt on the roads of Britain. What you claim to do is extraordinarily dangerous, and sticking to the speed limit has no justification whatever, as it's often quite dangerous to drive at that limit.

  16. Re:He seems a dangerous driver (serious) on LA to Oregon at Mach 9 · · Score: -1

    The UK is the FIRST state, when are you colonial peasants gong to realise this?

  17. Re:Wait! Wait! there's a pattern here on Colossus has been Rebuilt · · Score: -1

    Not true!

    The Americans ALWAYS take the sodding credit.

  18. Re:Not really on Colossus has been Rebuilt · · Score: 0, Informative

    We WERE the leaders of all kinds of technologies before the great post war brain drain. When China or India become more attractive places to work than the USA, expect to see engineers leaving in droves from YOUR country too.

    And we still have some pretty fierce and innovative engineering companies, you might want to think about that next time you do anything on a computer whos CPU is based on an ARM core.

  19. Re:China "isolating itself" ...? on China Developing own Standards · · Score: -1

    I disagree, the US has been dominant for too long already - the atrocity in Iraq is the best evidence of all the the US is no longer a force for 'good'.

  20. Re:Various uses on What Would You Do With a 92 TBps Router? · · Score: -1

    No, you can't use it to HOST SLASHDOT because it is merely a ROUTER - in the same way that a ride-on lawnmower is inadequate for hosting websites.

    You see?

    Interesting list, but many of these were - of course - REQUIRED to serve in the military and the others ARE idiots. Sean Connery, Prince Charles? You're using these two to show how sharp the average soldier is?

    Jesus.
