  1. Re:MS Tablet Strategy on Microsoft Takes Another Stab At Tablets, Unveils Surface 2, Surface 2 Pro · · Score: 1

    When I got to the end of this, I had almost forgotten what TFA was about.
    But I can certainly see where your nick comes from!

  2. Re:FlyDrive would be a better name on Microsoft Will Have To Rename SkyDrive · · Score: 1

    Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard drive?

  3. Re:Pitcairn Islands on Google Street View Backpack Now Available To Volunteers · · Score: 1

    Or:
    Pitcairn islands: where the men are men, and the sheep are nervous.

  4. Re:Small drone on Footage Reveals Drone Aircraft Nearly Downed Passenger Plane in 2004 · · Score: 1

    the usair flight that had to take a plunge in the hudson river was taken dowm by birds. Ok, they got ingested in both engines making them unoperable, but i would not say single 40 kg drone would not be somethink to take lightly when colliding head on with a passenger aircraft.

  5. Re:Obvious joke here on Message In Bottle Found After 98 Years Near Shetland · · Score: 1

    I know this joke! "I very nearly wept." ...then you realised she was deaf! Bada-bum, thank you I'll be here all week.

    Or put your phone in Hotspot mode then put it in your wasteband of your pants.

    Yes, the mass may have accumulated to the central area of my body but I still find your choice of word offending. You insensitive clod.

  7. Re:I liked the old fullsize sims better on Apple vs. Nokia, RIM and Motorola On Nano-SIM Standard · · Score: 1

    Heh, I had forgotten about those full size cards, but you're right, they were easy to store and swap. When the new cards where you popped the small sim from the large card started to appear, I thought the small sims are soo easy to get lost. And now /they/ are the large ones. I haven't even seen a microsim irl yet. I feel old.

  8. Great news! on MINIX 3.2 Released With Some Major Changes · · Score: 1

    After this I am sure it is safe to say that the year 2012 will be the year of Minix on the desktop!

  9. Re:No longer a monopoly on Antitrust Case Over, Microsoft Ties IE 10 To Win 8 · · Score: 1

    heh, this looks like a copy from the manuscript of the "Hitler finds out it /still/ isn't the year of Linux desktop" Downfall parody!

  10. Re:220 Volt on How To Ruin Your Game's PC Port · · Score: 1

    Heh, I too read the title the wrong way around. First thinking of DIY projets gone wrong, and right after that, "Wait a minute, there hasn't been game ports on pc's since late 90's or something... What is the article about again..?"

  11. Re:Any invites left? on Google+ Already At 10 Million Users · · Score: 1

    Got it, thanks Chris!

  12. Any invites left? on Google+ Already At 10 Million Users · · Score: 1

    A big thank you to anyone who has invites left, I am tomi and the domain is asiaa dot org.

  13. Was the real data transfer amount zero, then? on AT&T Sued For Systematic iPhone Overbilling · · Score: 2

    Tfa didnt say how much data was transferred during that period (or was that 2 megs pulled totally from the hat). Not having ever used an iPhone I suppose there is some sort of a counter you can reset to see how much data is transferred. Is the all apps off supposed to stop all activity or is there still some background programs accessing the data network occasionally?

  14. Re:Technology is already used in Japan on PayPal Demos Auto-Debit Gumball Machine · · Score: 1

    And at least you used to be able to order a pizza on a phone you just borrowed from someone on the street, for "an important call". Then give the phone back to the owner, walk to the pizza place, grab your pizza and the phone owner pays it in the phone bill. I am not sure if that is still possible, though...

  15. Re:Unfair Comparison on Opera Mini For iPhone Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I have a symbian phone (3rd ep1) and opera mini 4.2 & 5 and opera mobile 10 installed. Both minis load pages fast. Mobile even with turbo and mobile view cannot compete with the minis.

  16. Reverse engineering on Russian ASCII Art Animated Cat From 1968 · · Score: 1

    Could it be possible to reproduce copies of the original ascii art printouts by playing back the video using mplayer and aalib video out?

  17. Frist ps0t on Opera Sees "Dramatic" Rise From Microsoft's Ballot · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Could someone explain when this ballot actually comes up? is it only for new installs of Windows or at some later moment, too? I already use Opera so it wouldnt make any difference to me but at least during the odd times I had to use IE for something it didn't ask me anything.

  18. Re:already slashdotted ? on Technical Objections To the Ogg Container Format · · Score: 5, Funny

    In related news, I know technical shortcomings in hosting an article on hardwarebug.org...

  19. Re:Potential cause for the blue-screens on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1
    Thanks for the link; I checked my atapi.sys and SHA1 sum was the "working" one, a719156e8ad67456556a02c34e762944234e7a44.

    However, only eSafe tells the file is infected with Win32.Rootkit, other seem to be clear. Has anyone else checked their file?

  20. Yes on Are Ad Servers Bogging Down the Web? · · Score: 1

    ...and a more in-depth analysis: f**k yes.

  21. Re:Damn! on Apple, Others Hit With Lawsuit On Ethernet Patents · · Score: 1

    Uhh.. Unless this patent was specific to twisted pair (no, didn't read tfa, I must not be new here) going back to coax won't save you. (which is sad, I really loved those missing terminators somewhere in the network.)

  22. Re:Recreation on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    Yes, the files probably still exist on user's and authors' computers, however the loss of information on forums is big. Over 10 years of discussion and ideas are gone,many writers are gone already. Searchable forum full of valuable info. I hope they get the data back.

  23. Re:This raises important questions on 12,000 Laptops Lost Weekly At Airports · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I heard for every driver that got killed in a car accident, 1 out of 5 was drunk. So I better drink before getting behind the steering wheel, if sober drivers are more likely to get killed!

  24. Re:My experience... on In-Home Wireless Vs. Mobile Broadband · · Score: 1

    Re: software I have Huawei e220 and the windows drivers indeed suck. After I upgraded the firmware and connection software, the stability got a little better. With laptop it especially gets on my nerves to have the connection back up after resuming from hibernate/standby. Surprisingly (or not?), in linux it works well with wvdial.

  25. I would prefer mdi on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Being a long time opera user, one thing I miss in ff is a true mdi interface. I found a setting to force all windows to open in new tab but that means I cannot have small popup windows inside the main ff window (still only one program in taskbar).
