  1. Re:LEAs have no other choice to catch the bad guys on UK ISPs Refuse to Monitor Users · · Score: 1

    As a Brit you have more chance of being slaughtered by one of the rail company operators in the UK than you do of being murdered by terrorists. Period.

    Corporate negilgence in the name of profit is just so much more acceptible than murder in the name of God.

    Perhaps if people were aware of the real risks in their daily lives, they'd be less likely to give up my freedoms for me without bloody asking me first!

    Say 300 people die in a plane crash - so what? That many people are killed by drunk driving each week in the USA. The number one killer of children in the UK is not paedophiles but careless drivers.

    Your ignorance is not worth my freedoms.

  2. Such an OS existed (note: past tense) on Would an Ad-Sponsored OS/Desktop Work for OSS? · · Score: 1

    It was from a group of European companies (as I recall) and had ads in various places - I think the 'start' logo was a VW or BMW badge. I saw this sucker a long time ago (about 8 years..?) in a PC magazine. you could download and use it for free (not GPL back then).
    Damned if I can remeber what it was called though. Rest assured it has been tried and as we are not all using it and I cannot even remeber what it was called - it obviouly didn't work.

  3. Re:what next? on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 3, Funny

    Heaven forbid, Microsoft might even release a bug-free version of Windows. Then again Hell could freeze over...

  4. Re:big deal on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 1

    Yeah, bur IE hasn't had a complete re-write from the ground up. Every product has to start somewhere. Besides, EMACS is at version 27 or something like that...

  5. Yay, after a gestation longer than most whales... on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 1

    And now I shall go and download the sucker :-)
