  1. Re:Peace? on E.U. Agrees To Launch Galileo Satellite Location System · · Score: 0
    Look how fast france went from being one of closest allies to our number one enemy.


    That was Afghanistan, then Iraq. Now it's one of:
    Syria
    Iran
    Jordan
    Saudi Arabia

    Just watch this space...
  2. Re:I wonder ... on Land Speed Record Broken: 0-6,400 in Six Seconds · · Score: 0

    I can see it now: 1. CIA discover location of Saddam/Osama. 2. Engineers build railway track. 3. BOOM!

    This type of morality, it's OK to do X to Y beacuse they are Z, just sickens me. I personally think that anyone who subscribes to this kind of slipperly slope logic should get a punch in the mouth.
    ohhh the irony of it...

    ZDnet is talking out of its arse. I AM 80% of the UK.....

  6. en francais on Is Windows Ready For Joe Longneck? · · Score: 0

    I think you need "savoir faire"

    "Je ne sais quoi" translates roughly "I don't know what".

  7. VDT on Your Eyes Will Melt Out Of Your Head · · Score: 0

    A quick google search confirms that the reason the term VDT is used is to categorise all display screen equipment.

    Editors, please do not waste our time.

  8. ta bearla agat? on Linux Beer Hike Goes to Ireland · · Score: 0

    Don't forget that this isn't far from the gaeltacht -
    ta me ag foghlaim gaeilge - I'm learning Irish
    nil gaeilge agam - I don't speak Irish
    deag pionta guinness - ten pints of guinness
    go rabh maith agat - thank you

    Pronunciation will be easier when you've had those ten pints - they'll correct you as you go. Anyone else got some useful phrases?

    Vinegar and what?

    Oh, you mean red sauce....

  10. Re:Somebody has to pay for it... on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 1

    Not only does the license fee pay for radio/TV broadacsts but also part funds the BBC's excellent web services, so often linked to on /. Any shortfall is paid for by selling High Quality Publicly Funded progrsmming to the rest of the world.

    I get to watch ad-free programming on up to eight channels and the other UK channels have to keep the ad-to-progamming ratio low and the quality high to compete. A show running at an hour in the US would run for about 50 minutes with UK adverts and 45 minutes ad-free

    .

    This service gave you HHGttG, Monty Python's Flying Circus, the BBC world service, BBC News sites and much, much more.

    However, in the USA, you'd probably call this Communism.
