  1. Gaim... on MSN Messenger Kickbans Third-Party IM Clients · · Score: 2

    Seems to be running OK at the moment..

  2. Re:mozilla 1.5 to be the last?? on Three New Releases (And Other News) From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Firebird has a Windows installer available here, and a flash player installer is available here. If you download Firebird in archive form, you have to make some registry entries for the Flash install to work seamlessly, but the executable version should be fine.

    Have fun. :P

  3. Simple Test on Does Your Company Censor the Content for You? · · Score: 1

    To find out if your company is filtering out crap when you surf, simply browse Slashdot with all Trolls rated +5. If you see a blank page or an error message complaining of exceeding capacity, you know it's in place.

  4. Re:What's next... on Skittlebrau · · Score: 3, Informative
    A Flaming Moe (ne Homer) can be made with the following ingredients (in equal parts) if you fancy it:
    • Tequila
    • Schnapps
    • Creme De Menthe
    • Krusty's Non Narkotik Kough Syrup For Kids*
    * It is advisable to substitute this ingredient with a non-fictional cough syrup.
  5. Re:Worried About Big Brother? on The FSF, Linux's Hit Men · · Score: 1

    Is this really that worrying? Does this not make it easier to link articles together? In fact, if you look here, you'll notice that Joseph Alsop is only tracked because he's the CEO of Progress Software. If you were the CEO of a corporation, I imagine you'd get tracked as well.

    Start worrying when you're assigned a tracking number in the billions, not the thousands. ;)

  6. Re:SunnComm breaking UK law ? on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    Here you go then... You might want to let Amazon.co.uk know this as well. :)

    Hmmm

    brian@X: such-and-such
    -bash: such-and-such: command not found


    Man, I feel sorry for Brian, he must spend so much of the day being confused..

  8. Re:High time on Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20 · · Score: 1

    When someone writes "European", I just can't help thinking they mean the EU. Point taken, and no, I'm not one of those types you describe. :)

  9. Re:High time on Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20 · · Score: 1

    I'm British. I'm used to European money

    Funny, I'm British too, but I didn't think we'd joined the Euro yet. ;)

  10. Re:Strictly necessary stuff? on Linux 2.6 Kernel Stability Freeze · · Score: 1

    they may have some alternative suggestions on where to insert it.

    Is that before or after printing it out on sandpaper?

  11. Re:A very (ludicrous, retarded, draconian) precede on Disgruntled Fan Arrested, Indicted For Spam Attacks · · Score: 1

    When he gets out in 2471, society better watch out.

    Sounds like the tagline to a Demolition Man sequel...

  12. Re:Gigi? Nah Gibi? Nah on Hard Drive Capacity Confusion, Lucidly Explained · · Score: 1

    If 1 ejac is 20 minutes, then you've got 72 ejacs in a 24 hour period. This would put you a full 36 ejacs ahead of this guy who holds the world masturbation record. Sure, you'd probably have no penis left, but you would probably cruise the world arm-wrestling championships...

  13. Re:JPG properties on GIMP goes SVG · · Score: 4, Informative

    Apparently, EXIF data is kept in JPEG files from version 1.3.16, which should be what you're after.

  14. Re:Um.... on IBM Introduces 'Air Bags' For Laptop Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    you can't beat 10 hour battery life

    Yeah you can. How about 10 hours and ONE MINUTE? Huh? Huh!

  15. Re:NLP? on Is Google's Future: Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    The mighty Acronym Finder can be of help to you for all your TLA enquiries. NLP apparently stands for Natural Language Processing, amongst other things (including Name Lookup Protocol, National Landcare Program and the airport code for Nelspruit, South Africa).

  16. Re:Simple on South Korea Jumps To Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Don't be a fucking Troll. Microsoft run their own products on the backend of microsoft.com, and used the Linux-based Akamai caching service to cope with the high demand.

    Duh! Everyone knows that common benchmark for application growth is a web browser!

  19. Re:MOBIL AVE? on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1

    Slightly less simple anagram -- "A EVIL MOB", which could be something about the number of Agent Smiths. Seriously, stop looking into things so much.. It's a film!

  24. Re:OT: (You forgot the best part....) on SCO: FSF Reply To GPL Claims, Conference Sponsors Back Off? · · Score: 1

    Your statement does not make sense. If one fights over something important, it hardly makes sense to then disregard it, regardless of time period.

    You also make the assumption that I take issue with the distinction between Welsh and English nationality. I do not. Despite being born in England, I consider myself British, not English, as that is what it says on my passport. :)

  25. Re:We need more benchmarks, Apple! on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 0

    Xeon is the name of a processor from Intel. Xenon is the name of the noble gas. But ignoring that minor flaw, it was a fabulous joke.
