  4. Re:Banks will offer discounted MS software or... on IE6 SP1 Will Be Last Standalone Version · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Brilliant. There are probably at least 20 MS drones now pissing their pants with excitement to get to work Monday so they can propose a new forward looking strategy for an alliance between MS and the banks, tailoring banking services to the consumer.

    Thanks a fucking lot !!

  5. Re:So how exactly has IE evolved in the last 5 yea on IE6 SP1 Will Be Last Standalone Version · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Mozilla took the last 4 years to rehash a more stable but slower version of netscape 4.X with tabs, phoenix is basically just the browser component of Mozilla. They have not exactly revolutionised they world with innovation over said period.

  6. Re:Maybe someone can help me out here... on DirecTV takes on PirateDen.com · · Score: 3, Funny

    Because by taking that signal you interfere with the mind control waves, thus condeming some poor unfortunate individual to a life of free will and independent thought

  7. Re:at last on Aqwon, the First Hydrogen Scooter · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's time to switch to a hydrogen based economy.

    To get the ball rolling I will purchase your PC . stereo and TV/Video/DVD for a bucket of water. The water is safe to transport and you can extract the hydrogen at your leisure.

    I look forward to doing business with you

    I might end up in a lot more pieces than I would like.

    Would anyone care to enlighten us as to the point of this scooter? Why is this a good idea, and were the fuck on the high street do I get hydrogen to fuel it

  11. Re:Will a Sino-Lunar base be our Sputnik? on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 1

    Do you want to live in a world where a single nation can ignore the global community because their army is so strong they dont have to care , accuse nations of perfidity but provide no proof, launch premptive military strikes as a means of achieving political agenda, subjugate nations by force under the guise of liberty?

    I'm sure we all feel so much safer with the USA up there pulling the string than those nasty evil Chinese.

  13. Re:it isn't that uncommon on Teleworking in the UK? · · Score: 1

    Well thats news to me. Obviously your case is more the exception than the rule. Few employers will tolerate employees off site for 4 days a week. I sometimes wrangle a day at home to get some peace and quiet but normally I gotta be there to keep the boss, customers, operations, and the dev team happy

  14. Re:loneliness on Teleworking in the UK? · · Score: 2, Funny

    you have to do things to keep yourself from going crazy

    Care to elaborate on the 'things' you have to do ? Do the voices in your head make you do them ?

  15. Re:Could it be?!?! on LOTR The Musical! · · Score: 1

    Whats wrong with making a musical of it. The books are generally regarded as classic so why not bring the concept to as wide an audience as possible through different media. I enjoyed the books, loved the movies and see no reason why a musical of the story would not be entertaining enough for a night out.

  16. Re:Star Wars Opera? on LOTR The Musical! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Several plans have been mooted but it is felt that creating some of the proper environments for a space based show (ie a vacuum) may be detrimental to the health of the audience. Promoters were concerned that killing the audience may harm ticket sales and impact mechandising and so are unlike ly to proceed.

  17. Strange idea on LOTR The Musical! · · Score: -1, Troll

    Oh well, I'm sure that everyone will just reply by saying how stupid I am and that they are so much smarter and more insightful that I am. So whatever.

    Dont want you to be disappointed so

    You are stupid and I am so much smarter and more insightful than you are.

  19. Re:NOOOOOOO!!!!! on Running a Research Lab on Free Software? · · Score: 3, Informative

    To almost any programming question VB is NOT the answer.

    In fact to many programming questions VB is the perfect solution. Why do you think there are so many VB programmers and VB apps out there? Its so easy a complete novice can learn how to build reasonable applications quickly. As applications start getting more complex then by all means use Java, C# or C++, with more experienced developers to do it properly. In a lot of cases VB is perfect for quick simple solutions. Some of the stuff I have seen talented coders produce in VB is not half bad either.

  20. Re:My problem with .NET on San Mehat On Web Services & .Net · · Score: 3, Informative

    Java has had the worst collection of IDEs EVER

    No it doesnt. I'm on a C# project at the moment but I'm gagging to get back to Java and IDEA. IntelliJ is an absolute pleasure to code with.

  21. Re:My problem with .NET on San Mehat On Web Services & .Net · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Thats not been my experience. Its far more stable than its predecessor for me with C++ and C#, esp as the workspace gets bigger.

    no its probably the bit after that

    up to large blocks of code that have been inappropriately copied into Linux in violation of our source-code licensing contract.

    thats bothering them. Its a waste of time speculating about this anyway. Lets see what they produce as 'proof' next month.
