  4. my current phone on UK Group Wants Mandatory Flash For Phone Cams · · Score: 1

    the phone i'm currently using (Samsung E700) seems to have the compulsory noise when taking a picture, luckily though you can turn it off using the service menu, which can be reached through typing a code in.

    please note that i did not do this so that i can take some upskirt photos or anything, however tempting that might be, but simply because that infernal noise irritates the shit out of me.

  5. If you can play it on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    the age old argument that if you can play a piece of multimedia then it can be recorded using a microphone, unless they are outlawed by these new DMCAalikes, which, to be honest, wouldn't surprise me in the least, after all they can be used as 'Circumvention Devices' or whatever

  6. Re:ever notice... on System Downtime, Maintenance · · Score: 1

    That or the system changed in order to be more suited to the changing enviroment (needs)

  7. Dupe on First Mobile Phone Virus Discovered · · Score: 1

    not only is it a dupe, it's a dupe of an article about 6-7 stories down on the front page

  8. could be hopeful on More On The BBC's Codec 'Dirac' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    i hate to state the obvious, but this could be good for open source, that is having a big name such as the BBC behind it, it should also mean that linux (and other non MS OSs) could be able to use anything the bbc develop/publish with it, cross platform content on demand anyone?)

  9. padding on A Silent PC Solution? · · Score: 0

    my solution was to order lots of free stuff from the microsoft technet service (order a lot to make sure you get big envelopes) cut up said large padded envelopes and line your pc case, it's ugly but it works

  10. receipts on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 0

    surely it may be possible to borrow receipts from someone in the UK who already has purchased the same laptop, of course this only applies if you are shopping for a specific model and know you can get it, also that the receipt does not detail anything specific to the original laptop, e.g serial number.

  11. impairing on Top Web Businesses Oppose Utah Spyware Law · · Score: 0

    surely the impairing the delivery of ANY ad, targeted or otherwise is a wonderful thing.

    Also microsoft are complaining but i thought i heard somewhere they are puttting pop-up blocking in the new IE, some slight irony/hypocrasy/i cant think of the word

  12. lag on Interplanetary Network (IPN) Tested · · Score: 1, Funny

    yeah but i wouldnt want to play quake/unreal tournement etc over the link

  13. hmpf on China, Russia, U.S. To Build 100MBps Network · · Score: 1

  14. what can i say on Archos Recorder + Rockbox Plays Video · · Score: 5, Funny

    COOL! this brings a whole new level of mobility for porn

  15. Re:How are they doing this? on What The RIAA Gets Out Of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    surely by sharing them at all they are giving people the right to download them, as they know that the purpose of sharing a file is to upload it to others, otherwise they wouldn't share right, or am i completely missing the point

  16. Re:Video On Demand on The End of Physical Media · · Score: 1

    if you have sky+ (the recording one) then yo can get dolby 5.1 from the optical out on the back of the unit, but only if you have the equipment to connect it to, and only for certain broadcasts (IIRC most of the films)

  17. shelving on Supercomputer Breaks the $100/GFLOPS Barrier · · Score: 1

    that shelving they used looks almost identical to the kinda stuff i have in my bedroom, unfortunatly my shelves are not filled with a supercomputer (yet)

  18. europe on Brazilian Rocket Explodes on Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    last time i checked europe was a continent, you know one of those things consisting of many countries

  19. Re:It just looks like ... on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yeah round edges are pointless, maybe they if they did some surveys they would realise that most people have square screens with 90 degree angles in each corner.

    And I agree on the Gnome point

  20. Re:Fake? on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    maybe it's a conspiracy or something, if they aren't fake then microsoft must be hiding something, and even if they are evil i'll still take a few of those processors

  21. Re:mhm on Beer Added To The Food Pyramid · · Score: 1

    is a pint not 568ml?

  22. Re:Obvious improvement on Next Wave Of Hard Drive Tech: Perpendicular Recording · · Score: 1
