  1. Re:And on Why Do Computers Still Crash? · · Score: 1
    FACT: People who lack with facility with English generally write shitty interfaces that people loathe using, even if the code is "clean".

    Make up your mind. Is that a fact, or a generisation?

  2. Traffic Reports on TiVo For Radio? · · Score: 1

    I'd end up listening to hour old traffic reports without realising, and when the DJ says what time it is, I'd believe him and end up being an hour late.

  3. Great Glass on Highlift Systems' Space Elevator In The News Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    Willy Wonka would love this!

  4. Re:'Have' IPv6??? on Slashdot over IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I think the browser would just send the string you entered into the address bar as part of the request, and if it was recognised as a valid IPv6 address, the content would be returned, I'm not completely sure though.

  5. Re:'Have' IPv6??? on Slashdot over IPv6 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Everything, no, yes, yes, yes, it is, s'pose, and lol (I think). No - not at all, lol, and I don't know how to answer that triple negative .

  6. 640k is more than enough for anybody on Slashdot over IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I read on this thread that the IP header's version field only has 4 bits (I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it sounds awfuly clever). We are currently of course using IPv4, and 5 is reserved for some stream protocol thingy, then isn't it theoretically possible that we will want more in the future for other uses? If we decide we want 11 more, then there will be 17 differant IP versions, which cannot all be represented with 4 bits. Therefore we'll have to make the 5 bits (or 99 bits) for the version field, inso scrapping all previous versions including IPv6??

    I have no idea whether this is technically accurate or not, does anybody else know?

  7. Load up my ass on Finally, A Working NES! · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    So is the the 'Arse Loading NES'?

  8. Beige box on NES PC · · Score: 1

    Now there is one beige box that wouldn't look bad beside the TV

  9. Re:And people wonder... on Build Your Own LCD Bus Schedule · · Score: 1

    It hurts, doesn't it

  10. Re:I am not an electrician! on Build Your Own LCD Bus Schedule · · Score: 1

    Phone lines in the UK carry around 50 volts, although they deliver a very small amount of power. (it might be 47 to be exact, I'm not sure though). I don't know whether anyone has ever been killed by one here, but they could certainly give anyone a nasty sting.

    Oh yeah - you used fucktard!! I'll assume you read jwz's rant a few weeks ago

  12. Send her a bill and everybody will be happier on Helping Your Ex-Employer? · · Score: 1

    Your boss may be sitting in her office wondering why the hell you never sent her a bill. The fact is you are owed money. The network you fixed exists for no reason other than to put food on her table. If you fixed it, you deserve to have some extra food on your own table after the hard day's work. If you get paid they'll feel far more comfortable about calling you out again in the future, and you'll feel more comfortable about speaking to them. Ideally you should have brought up the subject of money before agreeing to do the work, but now I'd get an invoice written out and put it in the post immediately. What's the worst that could happen?

  13. Helps getting the game made in the first place on Games in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    I have a theory about this one. Once a game reaches a a sort-of playable stage, all the developers will do from then on is play it, and the game will never get finished as it should be. Management force them to make games this way, so developers can't play the game themselves without being caught, and they will have to work on the finishing touches instead.
