It was only the other day that Slashdot posted an article about Cisco et all having a field day in China.
Surely, if the Chinese can control the Internet so well, other people can. Granted, China is a completely different place to Europe and the US - speaking out against the Chinese government will get you on the frontpage of the newspaper, but for reasons entirely different than would be the case in other countries.
Yes, I can just imagine it - Linux being sold on millions of OEM machines;
Customer: 'Hello, Dell? On my Kay-Dee-Eee PC Gamecube, I cant find Device Manager. My Office Assistant also doesnt seem to be on here either. Shall I put this Windows XP CD I got free with Line-ux into the floppy drive?'
Tech Support: 'Ok, we have a problem...'
Customer: 'Can I speak to your supervisor please?'
I have got one ID, and it will stay that way. I have got my Preferences set so that I am allways logged in when I visit Slashdot.
I am posting at -1 anyway, as my Karma is about -5.
Unlike you sad people, I dont really care. If I post something sensible, and it gets modded up, then great.
If I say something stupid, or flame-worthy and I get modded down, then... I dont really care.
Really, what is the obsession at having so many karma points?
I still say that the person who complained about the parent sig is a boring retard - thats why I posted saying so.
Its been a while since I last heard anything from everyones favourite rude TV presenter. His broadcasts where certainly very entertaining, as where his regular exploits in that motel he was staying in. I wonder if that mad fan of his has stopped worshipping him yet? You know, the one that had Alan in a headlock when he went round his house.
I was hoping he was going to get a shag from those two nice girlies at reception, but no luck - he had to make do with bedding his stringy receptionist instead.
I wonder how Alan is doing now? He got that contract for a new series, didnt he? Well, after he forged that dead fat blokes signature, anyway...
Wrong!
Its not a PROPER 1st Post, unless you actually CLAIM it. There is no proof that you tried to get it as a first post, so it may have been a fluke.
So there!
Please use your First Posts in an altogether more proactive and constructive way.

1) Say 'frist psot'
2) Say 'w00t!'
3) Link to the Goatse Geezer
4) Spout a paragraph of crap, with these words included in it - 'niggaz', 'motherfukka', and 'rulez'.
Well, how long ago was quake 2 released? Four years ago(ish)?
Well, I would say that the Q3 code will be released four years from its release date, and so will then be ported onto whatever oddly-named PDA-type malarkey machine is available at the time...
If you dont want a connection with a capped upload, then dont pay for one. Its a pretty simple solution. You must have known that the upload was limited before you took the service - and if you didnt know, then thats your fault.
They restrict the upload speed to stop people running FTP servers, and the like.
Being a big kid, I personally would love to have a few of those bug things. Imagine putting your pet hamster in the hallway with a few of them. The hamster would probably end up ignoring them, but if the bugs can be programmed to follow the hamster everywhere it goes, what would its reaction be?
Further down in the article it says that if the toys are a success as a a toy, then we could end up with robot vacuum cleaners some time next year. Nice idea, but are we only going to see automated household servants if some kids toys are sold first?
Good point. I am doing tech support, and the people I have to deal with are... not very good at describing anything that is on screen.
Just think how much easier it would be, if I could actually SEE the printer, meaning I wouldnt have to rely on the stupid fool to tell me if it is turned on or not.
Seriously - some people dont know the difference between something being 'Off' or 'On'.
Its like the person who rang us up saying she couldnt get on the Internet. We did the usual diags, and it seemed as if the modem was at fault, so we sent an engineer round. Turns out that she hadnt paid her phone bill, and so her phone had been cut off! AAARRRGGGHHH!
I went to see it the other day, and was left wondering what all the hype was about. I went with a couple of mates who where looking forward to it, as they had read the book, and thought quite highly of it. They thought the film was a poor relation to the book, however.
I think that any film with young kids as the main stars will have problems, as they dont tend to be the best of actors.

Shut up, you boring retard. Its a true statement! And its also very funny.

How can a week be bisexual? Does it shag the Chinese calender when its feeling especially horny?

Its actually quite interesting.
