  1. Re:relatively benign on The Case for the Empire · · Score: 2

    And what is your definition of nihilism? Seroiusly though criticising moderators is not the way to get karma around here.

  2. Re:Save Internet Radio on Senate Committee Holds Webcasting Hearing · · Score: 2

    and for those who don't know - PSAs are Public Service Announcements.

  3. Re:No - the switch has been hacked. on Mysteries of the Las Vegas Telecom System · · Score: 2

    I remember hearing something similar to this before. It was a premium rate operator in Las Vegas who suddenly found all his calls were being diverted (he presumed by the mob) unfortunately I can't remember any more details.

  4. Re:Lie on Landing a "Regular Job"? · · Score: 2

    Yes. I personally gave someone computer lessons once a week for about six months and my friends have built computers - charging a markup of between £100 and £250 a time. I didn't suggest he start a business I just suggested something he could do to earn money while he's out of work and looking for a job.

  5. Re:Innovator's Dilemma on Bringing Tech to Market: The Rules of Innovation · · Score: 2

    He's right - it is possible to support old and new customers at the same time - but your competitors who only support one will have an advantage over you.

  6. Re:Effects on Opensource on Breaking Old Regulations and Old Habits · · Score: 2

    Yes but if it becomes a standard it gets adopted pretty much everywhere - where laws are different.

  7. Re:Why Nvidia's on top on The Age of Nvidia · · Score: 2

    Does anyone know how you can tell what graphics card you have without opening up your computer?

  8. Re:The irony of history Re:bans don't work on Slashback: Counterstrike, Identification, Patenxtortion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Changing the topic back to the original - in Australia Grand Theft Auto 3 was banned - it just made it more popular. In fact every game hat's been banned has seen an upsurge in sales whether it's any good or not.

  9. Re:Shotgun on Bill In U.S. House Plans Manned Mars Mission · · Score: 2

    What's that mean?

  10. Re:You think that's bad? on Microsoft Opts-In Hotmail Users · · Score: 2

    I don't use my hotmail account anymore - or MSN Messenger - sounds like a good time to delete it.

  11. Re:Regardless of your views on abortion.... on Appeals Court Finds "Nuremberg Files" Site Unlawful · · Score: 2

    People are allowed to be anti-abortions but in most countries this would be classed as incitement of violence - whether there was a law against threats on abortionists or not.

  12. Re:Lie on Landing a "Regular Job"? · · Score: 2

    Or alternatively you could start giving people computer lessons in their home or doing repairs/ upgrades for people. It's low pay but it's regular money. Just put an advert in your Post Office. If you want a bit more money start building computers.

  13. Re:Excellent idea. on ThinkCycle: Solving World Problems With A Cluster of Brains · · Score: 2

    Yes but surely you need people on the ground to put the ideas into practice that people have thought of.

  14. Re:Ok..hmm. on ThinkCycle: Solving World Problems With A Cluster of Brains · · Score: 2

    Yes you need one big brain overseeing it all. Reminds me of the Voyager episode Thinktank.

  15. Re:Because all you need to solve the world's... on ThinkCycle: Solving World Problems With A Cluster of Brains · · Score: 2

    I thought that all you needed was love (according to the Beatles anyway).

  16. Re:Nice and clean on Fun with Fingerprint Readers · · Score: 2

    What - yours is to chop their finger off is it?

  17. Re:Like clockwork. on MSIE Uber-patch Of The Month · · Score: 2

    One wonders when Microsoft releasing patches was considered news. Then again this is a pretty major one. It'll be news when they learn that writing software with security in mind to start with is cheaper than not and then constantly patching things. The image of a leaky sieve comes to mind!

  18. Re:Free the software on Government Funds Secret Sustainable Computing · · Score: 2

    Where their main language is Portuguese so you probably wouldn't be able to use their software anyway!

  19. Re:Crescent Office! on StarOffice 6.0 · · Score: 2

    1) Proper nouns ie Islamic, Muslim etc have capital letters at the start.
    2) With the propoganda about Al-Quaeda, Islam & Jihad at the moment there is more ignorance and misinformation about the whole thing than ever before.

  20. Re:Damn the ethics- full speed ahead! on Digital Mouths, Synthetic Faces at MIT and Lucasfilm · · Score: 2

    As a lot of court cases rely on video evidence I wonder what the ramifications will be for that!

  21. Re:Matrix multiplication on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Online · · Score: 2

    Somehow when you know enough to understand each of those jokes they suddenly lose their humourous quality.

  22. Re:Gaming Nerds Fashion on The Indie Game Jam · · Score: 2

    Strange you never see anyone walking around these game shows with a replica phaser do you?

  23. Re:Chip cooling? on Ultra Efficient Chip Cooling Passes Boeing Tests · · Score: 2

    I'm not American I'm British - but then I hate chips, dislike ketchup and salt & vinegar. Just call me strange!

  24. Re:DriftNet on Tapping the Alpha Geek Noosphere with EtherPeg · · Score: 2

    "after the pics of cross- dressing-victorian-era-constume-fan pics popped up" - makes me wonder what type of LAN you're running there!

  25. Re:Videogame heaven on Prestigious Art Gallery To Exhibit Video Games · · Score: 2

    What I think is most amazing is how games have evolved from a geeky pastime into a mainstream activity.
