    Does this "everybody" include the people whos pcs get infected with this shit? How long before this becomes more widely known or more common place... and will joe public do anything or care? no. The only chance we have is when the next windows "more money, better computer needed edition" comes out..

  4. Re:Well, yeah. on Morse Coders Beat SMSers · · Score: 2, Informative

    SMS is incredibly useful because: (a) you don't disturb others in a public place

    I beg to differ on this one, if anybody has ever been in a public place and the person sitting fourteen rows away receives an SMS, with an incredibly loud alert tone it is way more annoying than the crazy frog or even the person chatting as with sms they usually get one after another and another continually with the beep beep beeps of the incoming alert "CQ" morse tone (how fitting) on those horrid nokia phones by default - or at least I think thats what it is, I'm no morse coder....

  6. Truly awesome on PSP Emulation Madness · · Score: 1

    The PSP is a fantastic machines that is showing to have some great promise. Once the version 1.5 has been unlocked so that everybody can utilise these emulators and homebrew apps I'll definitely have to buy a second memory card and fill it up with all my old favourite games. Stunned? yes I am.

  8. Re:Can't handle the load? on Firefox Promo Videos · · Score: 1

    To be honest the best part of the set of videos was the semi-nipple shot when you first see the girl in the green top. the rest was +5 overrated.

  9. Re:I don't think so on Music Industry Drafts Code of Conduct for ISPs · · Score: 1

    They can have my bandwidth when they pry it out of my COLD DEAD HANDS

    Well lucky for them then that you are just a user (read: criminal) and not the (your) ISP. So it seems they can just about do whatever they like.

    Not that I'm advocating their actions, just making an observation....

  12. Re:Nope, you are wrong. on British Government Considers Tax on Computers · · Score: 1

    I also have had this, a couple of years back I had a TV and no license. I contacted TV Licensing, explaining that I did indeed own a TV, and it was not used for watching broadcast channels, but mostly for PC tv out, consoles, DVDs etc. The lady on the phone advised me that this was indeed a legitimate reason for not having a TV License and I received a letter stating this and that I was exempt. This had to be renewed every year, as the exemption only covers you for 12 months from the declaration. I never had a visit from them, not that it would have made any different because the aerial wire had been cut and was hanging outside the window, I couldnt use it even if I had to!

    How many times is that blasted crazy frog played per hour on those free to air music channels?

  14. Re:Licensing fee on British Goverment to Reshape BBC Governance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    £104 to watch TV and listen to radio COMPLETELY LEGALLY AND ADVERTISEMENT FREE is a total bargain, plus the BBC websites, world service, BBC freeview digital.. Less than £10 a month for that much entertainment, with no crazy frog, and no annoying johnny vaughn is a fucking bargain. you may like spam with your TV. I DON'T.

    WE LOVE YOU BBC!!!

  16. Re:Doubt on Yahoo Debuts Search APIs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I would imagine yahoo has the bigger userbase (registered). I know 10x more people with yahoo addresses than gmail addresses and thats only within my so called nerdy friends. Add non-nerdy people such as family and even by conducting a local poll, I would guess yahoo outnumbers google membership by at least 5:1. Depends who they are counting and whos figures they are using. You can prove anything with fancy charts and ratios.
