  2. Re:gaim-vv on Microsoft, Yahoo Finally Merge IM Networks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So not yet released, original project is dead, might be in version 2.0 of gaim, no MSN support, no Windows support. Thats a sure fire OS solution to a 350 million user messaging service.

    Right, get back to us in a few years when gaim supports voice and video and might actually be useable

  5. Injecting stem cells is a sham on Bone Marrow Cells Repair Heart · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have tried injecting rose, tulip and daffodil stem cells and my health has not improved one iota. I do smell a lot better though as a result.

  6. Re:What a visionary point of view on Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google · · Score: 1

    Maybe it more cynical that then, the more disruption Google can cause to MS management i.e. by luring people away, the easier it is for Google to compete with them. Not to mention fact they expand their knowledge of the inner goings on and future plans of MS.

  7. Heres one on Ask Håkon About CSS or...? · · Score: 1

    Does it piss you off that a site like /. that bangs on about standards and good design was so slow to adopt CSS

  10. Re:not doing that on Review of Episodic Content, Half-Life 2 Episode One · · Score: 1

    I think its quite reasonable, with the price of drink in Dublin now its easy to blow $20 an hour on a night out

  11. Re:With all this increased bandwith in Pakistab on Pakistan Plans Mobile WiMax Network Rollout · · Score: 1

    No, I can exclusively reveal that from now on using the increased bandwith Bin Ladens rantings and ravings will be broadcast Bollywood style. Marketing advisors close to Bin Laden feel his message is too much doom and gloom and would achieve broader appeal if it was presented with some more singing and dancing.

  12. I hope the developers said a big thank you to on Firefox 2 Alpha 2 Reviewed · · Score: 0, Troll

  14. without even looking on U.S. Adds Years To Microsoft's 'Probation' · · Score: 1

    usual monopoly crap i imagine

    instead of moaning about what people willingly spent their hard earned cash on offer a compelling alternative. Then you can have the moral high ground.

  15. Re:Rebutting the myths on Vendor Pays OSS Developers for Enterprise Support · · Score: 1

    Sorry I'm still pissing myself laughing at your original 'how could I possibly be more wrong' post to respond properly to your lack of understanding of economics.

  16. Re:Rebutting the myths on Vendor Pays OSS Developers for Enterprise Support · · Score: 1

    Depends how mush you get paid really doesnt it. This sounds more adhoc than full time support.

    Also does it not rebutt the myth that if you have the code you can easily maintain and improve it yourself?

  17. Re:Israeli tech.. on Would You Wear Video Glasses? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And if only they could learn to treat Palestinians with respect they might have more credibility as a nation

  18. Re:Not directly related to TFA on Forget Expensive Video Cards · · Score: 1

    I'm sure ATI engineers are rushing back to the office as I type this to work on Linux compatability. That or making mental notes to give the boss an earfull on monday morning about dropping linux compatability altogether since its not appreciated or increasing revenue.

    So we have special key words we use so he knows when I am becoming bored or angry.

    I will then respond

    "You are a fucking wanker"

  24. I must be getting old on iPod Update to Address Volume-Level Concerns · · Score: 4, Funny

    cos I think this is a good idea. My nano is proper fucking loud, uncomfortably so, esp with the apple ear buds (I prefer bang & olfsen for the quality) and that level of noise directed straight at your eardrum cant be good for you.

    Plus theres the fact that if you play you ipod at full blast near me while I am trying to sleep on the train in the morning you are liable to be smacked in the face and your ipod will be fucked out the window.
