    Yeah, I'm from England and I can vouch for that ;)

  2. Unable to Shed Any Light? on Famicom Vandals Hit Scottish Church · · Score: 2, Insightful
    "Police have confirmed they are searching for the culprits - but are unable to shed any light on the meaning of 'The Famicom'"

    Surely they can manage to type something into a search engine?

    This Google search pulls up over 200,000 results!

    Yes, but wearing a top hat and a monacle.

    Oh my god, I'm literally in tears after reading realultimatepower.net. I haven't laughed so much in ages, thank you!

    Hehe, I guess that's what seti@home's *really* doing.

    I'm joking, I think.

    I don't think even the Death Star could /. this bitch.

  7. Two Things I Like About Konqueror on Mozilla 1.5 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    1) If you're using KDE, it's quicker than shit through a goose.
    2) The font rendering is *way* nicer than Firebird.

    The only thing I don't like is that it's a bit slow when opening things in a new tab, but hey, that's the trade off.

  8. Re:Talking Trash Can on Walking Animatronic Dinosaur At Disney Park · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should let it loose in Tokyo. He could smash up some buildings and then have a big fight with Godzilla. Just like in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla!

    That would totally rule.

    12 is *about* 15, give or take 3.

  10. Re:Doesn't seem likely on Running Mac OS X Natively on Pegasos · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, technical issues aside, it's forbidden in the OS X licence agreement to run the OS on non-Apple hardware. (disclaimer: not a Mac user, can't be 100% on the wording of the licence)

    Whether or not it's technically possible to find a workaround to boot it without an Apple BIOS is another matter. I'm sure it will be possible though somehow ;)

    Wow! I just installed checkinstall thanks to your link. Before, I was making slackware packages the hard way, but this is the business :)

    Thanks!

    I apologize for jumping on you for comparing Darl McBride in a favorable fashion to my favorite fictional character

    No worries :)

    (There's nothing favourable about D McB ;) )

  14. Re:Possible Explaination on Embarrassing Dispatches From The SCO Front · · Score: 1

    I was thinking more of Darth Maul. Unpleasant looking, moderately evil, and surrounded my idiots.

    While conducting the "cheap shot" manouver, I merely took the name "Darl" and changed it to "Darth" in a minimal attempt at humour.

    A play on words, a pun if you will.

    You are correct in your statement, though, that Darl McBride is nothing like Darth Vader. Darth Vader was a fictional, cybernetically inhanced killing machine who could strangle people at will with his mind, and could command the respect of the Galactic Empire.

    Darl McBride, on the other hand, is a bumbling fuckwit who is too preoccupied with dragging his fists around and wiping the drool from his chin to realise his own impending doom.

    Unfortunately for us, Darl McBride isn't fictional, but at least he gives us a laugh with our morning coffee.

  16. Possible Explaination on Embarrassing Dispatches From The SCO Front · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, given that Darth McBride has blown all the company's money on really crappy lawyers, the only equipment they can afford to run their website is a Commodore 64 running a custom stripped down version of OpenServer.

    Give it time, it takes a while for a web page to stream from an audio cassette.

  17. Re:Why on Brazilian Rocket Explodes on Launch Pad · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of all the egotistical, ethnocentric bullshit.

    "Other countries" (read: the rest of the populated world) wish to develop space programmes because of the huge benefits one brings to the economy and scientific development of the country envolved. Amongst the fact that a space programme gives a country's citizens something to hope and dream about.

    Not to "feel on par with the USA".

    For fuck's sake.

    Maybe the picture is the result of two of their clients being McDonalds and Pizza Hut, as that page states.

    They probably pay for their OpenServer licences with Big Macs and pizzas now.

    email:

    abuse@microsoft.com (fitting, I thought)

    message:

    With regards to the recent issues with infringing code in the linux kernel:

    There's an object of mine in your house. I'm not telling you what it is, or where it is, but it's there, I promise.

    I'm not going to identify the object, but I am going to request that you pay me $700 for the continued use of your house.

    You may, if you wish, sign an NDA to find out the identification of the object, but under the terms of the agreement, you'll never be allowed inside another house again for the rest of your life.

    Alternately, you can agree to waive the licensing fees for the Linux kernel and we can call it even, ok?

    Well, after telling it which partitions you want to use (which you have to do on other distros anyway), you can just tell it to do a full install and everything just installs by itself. So you *can* go and get a coffee at this point ;)
