  2. Editors wake up on Survey Reveals Americans Support Blog Censorship · · Score: 1

    and stop printing sensationalizing headlines.

    There is a vast difference between Cencorship and not allowing Names , Addresses and othet private information of private people to be printed in a public forum without prior consent.

    Please stop trying to make /. in an untrustworthy gutter publication....

  3. Re:Get a grip. on SBC Promotes Texas Anti-Wireless Bill · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, when politicians start to see a growing number of real registered voters are turning against them, they actually do take heed.

    Do you speak with a first-hand experience? I mean no disrespect to your opinion but i personally believe , from my experience of English politics, that it takes more than a few disgruntled voters to have any impact on a politician.Its only when a politician loses his real powerbase i.e. support of his/her party and the moneymen that they begun to take notice.

  4. Any Body but the UN on UN Wants To Regulate Internet · · Score: 1

  9. In other words on Irish Movie Theatres Go Digital · · Score: 1

    More BANG for your BUCK.

    Subscribers rejoice , /. delivers more news for your money then any other news site.The others (Times, Guardian et al)take a quid and give you one tiny story ONCE, those misers.

    OTOH , /. gives you seconds and thirds , with NA(Nifty Acronyms) and unenlighting comments by uninformed uncouth /.ers.

    How lucky can you get?

  12. A view from London on Reuters On Telephone Cultures · · Score: 1

    I have a BT landline and we have a few mobiles as well.I cant get rid of the landline because i get my broadband on ADSL.Apart from that there really is no need for a landline.My mobile works almost all over the country and chargers are ubiquitous these days.

    If at any time in the future , i might be tempted by cable TV , out goes the BT line.

    In fact , considering the number of portable devices people tend to carry (Mobiles,PDA's,MP3 players etc) , the next big idea will be the invention of a standard batttery charger for all of these.Who knows maybe we will be buying a battery charge pretty soon at the corner shop?

  13. Slashdot editorial system could do with on IBM Provides Access to Blue Gene On Demand · · Score: 1

    some time on the IBM computer.Increasingly the time lag between stories being reported on major news sites and their being posted on /. is getting absurdly long.

    I read about this some time yesterday here

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/03/11/ibm_rent s_ bluegene/

    Come on Taco , Please do something to fix /. before it's too late.What with the Duplicates, the blatant Advertising ( a well known story poster everyone calls roland) , piss-poor editing , /. has become a parody of its former self.

    Used in porn. "sex kittens go to college" is not porn... really. technically it's labelled as "comedy", although i think most of the laughs were unintentional. full rundown on this 1960, black-n-white, b-grade, cheesecake movie here.

    On a serious note , Govt's dont necessarily take decisions in the best interests of the citizens . Govt's take decisions to suit themselves.If a gov's policies create , for instance , more terrorism , we get the bombs and they get more security.
