I've always thought it was to do with compromises. The government leaks a 'Tax On Computers' memo and all of us have that knee-jerk reaction. The media get its week's worth of stories. The media campaign to stop the new tax. They rally all the readers and tell them how they should think about the new tax. The government then leaks a compromise 'Tax On Calculators' tax memo and everyone is once again happy.
I thought that 4 years ago when mine was 6 months.
10 minutes ago I sent her to bed as a punishment for be naughty. The battle was going nowhere. Her constant reply of "NO!" was getting nowhere. We needed to chill...
So she went to bed and I read Slashdot. Maybe I should have gone to bed and sat her in front of Slashdot - there's an idea.
Yes, there are highlights but there are also times when I want to throttle her. 6 months old is a great time but it only get worse:)

There was an error in downloading the iWon Prize Machine...
The download failed because you are not using Internet Explorer as your Web browser. Only IE is compatible with the iWon Prize Machine.
Man that sucks big time. Guess which nice browser I'm using?:)
I'll say it then because no one seems to have the bottle around here.
SuprNova was nothing special. It was not the best thing since sliced bread. It was a below-par site.
There, said it.
SuprNova was the Kazaa of websites. It was full of broken trackers, passworded files, membership only trackers and your crappy re-encodes. People from other sites used it to advertise their own trackers; stick a few torrents up for a week and watch the traffic flow to your site. SuprNova was a site that was too busy and only served the average masses who wanted The Incredibles in Real video format.
Javascript Lemmings always impresses everyone who sees it. (Pacman in Microsoft Excel always impressed me no end too.)
You should have been modded higher. Javascript and HTML is really simple. Some of the suggestions for complex OO languages are not good with the limited time available.
BitTorrent was a task solving application. It reduced normal HTTP server load by distributing the upload bandwidth through peers. It does its task well. Why bother to introduce a serverless option? Why make it like Gnutella and all the other P2P clients?
The bottom line is that you can only download the same amount that is being uploaded into the network. There is no magic upload bandwidth fairy. There are many tricks that make users believe their client is the fastest but in the long run the bottom line stays the same.
Please, give it a rest. You cannot change the bottom line. Spend your time writing better GUIs and promoting a 'standard'.
Yes, I read the article. Kademlia sounds very good but adding it to BT is a little silly.
True true. When I worked for a small company "BMW" and "BMW Rover" we used nothing but Unix and Solaris.
What is this obscure program "autocad" they are on about too? Design a car, checking fixtures and production tools on autocad? I think not. Maybe houses, nuts and bolts but not for anything major.
Do you know who we have to thank for the fact the every DVD player sold in the UK is multi-region?
Tescos, Asda Walmart and Sainsburys.
The supermarkets have reputations to keep. If the average shopper cannot play every disk under the sun then he returns the DVD player with no questions asked. He also grumbles about the supermarket to all his friends in the traditional British way.
Tescos want everyone to be happy with their purchases. They want everyone to be happy with their cheap 30 pound player. Everyone is happy, including me.
I have experience nothing but improvements. OK, there were a few days last month that were a bit heavy on the spam misses but I put that down to gmail testing something. It sorted itself out soon enough.
When gmail started putting the spam count in brackets I was getting 6500 spam emails every 30 days.
For the last month or so it has been around 3500 for 30 days.
Gmail misses 10 a day and gives me a few false positives a month. The false positives would definitely be spam to most people. I wish they would improve the Netski bounces though.
I forward 2 email old accounts here. One of them is 7 years old. I was glad to get it back as it was basically useless for day to day emailing.
Spam is no longer a problem. Email is once again fun to use.
Now I don't go to sites with millions of alerts but I do use alerts to debug sometimes. One mistake by me and some loops go on forever. Some way out of the loop without crashing Firefox would be good.
Come off it dude. It is uncommon not to have a telephone in the UK.
There have been telephones in all the bedsits and student accommodation I've lived in over the last fifteen years. Telephones with slots for coinage, but still telephones all the same.
Maybe it was 'not uncommon' twenty years ago but not now.
Hi! Remember me? Remember when we robbed the local 24hr garage? I still think about the blood pouring from that blind old aged pensioner in the wheelchair. I thought her head was going to pop when you stamped on it for the third time!
Did you ever get away with the drug smuggling operation you were running? I told the police that you were the lowest on the ladder - I think they bought it. I didn't read any newspaper stories so I'm guessing you're OK..?
Who would have thought that, after all these years, I'd find you through Google.
In my place the high paid engineers do all the stealing of laptops. The rest of us don't have access to them...
They take them home to do work in the evenings. They dial into the network for free internet. Their kids download Britney. Their begged CD burner is constantly burning audio CDs - they have to beg because there is no real reason for laptops having burners...
...they find out that they are unable to install latest_spyware_infested_program. They wipe the hard drive, install their own software (disabling dial-in in the process) and the laptop never sees the office again. They know they'll have a lot of explaining to do if the laptop ever needs rebuilding.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, pogs.
I'm betting the top chip is worth $500 and has a picture of Steve Allen on it.
The police [in the UK] can enter your house with a warrant card and they all carry them. Trust me on this. They don't even need a valid reason.
Don't believe everything you see on the TV.
Interesting way of looking at it.

The kids around here smash the coins out with a screwdriver and a huge hammer. It doesn't look hard. There, I just saved you a pound.
You should test that really. The person on the other end actually says "What service do you require?". 999 or 911 it makes no difference here.
88 assrapes? You'd never eat Chicken Kiev again, that's for sure.
Looks good.
I'm wondering how much of the picture will be displayed on the ceiling after it's passed through the glass? That would not look good.
I see no problem. :)

Please don't look at me like that.
Yet another Peer-to-Peer Application... that doesn't bring anything new to the table.
We've done swarming, we've reduced chunk sizes, we've done centralised, we've done serverless, we've done clickable hyperlinks, we've done error checking hashes. It's all old, proven technology - give it rest.

I believe the software is still there for sale. Or have I missed something?
The weekend.
When does the weekend start? It starts late on a Friday.
The week ends on Friday.
The week starts on Saturday.
You don't need religion to back this up. It's simple logic.

I suggest using William Hill and their compatible website for all your gambling needs. The odds on winning a million are way better too.
