  1. Creative energy on The Unstoppable 'Tech Support' Scam · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Its funny how much creativity goes into these scams - they're more elaborate than any morally acceptable way of making money! I'm sure that creative energy could be used in a more positive way. However its probably the case that these scams feel easier than positive work.

  2. Not a major problem! on Ireland May Be Next To Censor the Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm Irish, and at the rate this country is falling apart, they'll be nobody left here to access the internet in a few years. This is typical of the current Irish government, faffing about with silly non-existant problems, while failing to tackle the major problems like the economy, the collapse of the banking sector, the arse falling out of the property market, the child abuse scandal involving the catholic church, the alcoholism of the country, the violent crime thats becoming more prevalent etc. We're €81,000,000,000 in the red due to the cronyism of the banking and construction sector and this is what we waste our time with!

  9. Re:Amazing that! on Army Sets Up Videogame Studio · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not that amazing - this company are able to make this product product without any known manufacturing facilities!

  10. Nothing to do with Java! on Sun To Upgrade Java Desktop System · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sun's "Java" desktop has as much to do with Java as this "security" site has to do with security

  18. Studing the internet as a social network on Detecting Patterns in Complex Social Networks · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think if the internet was studied as a social network, on might find that someone like Janet Jackson was the core of society :-)

  19. try and locate the magic bullet.. on WineConf 2004 Wrapup · · Score: 2, Informative

    to make Wine better and faser?? I Run word 97 on my linux box and its 100 times better and faster! I think they're not looking for a bullet but a WMD :-)

    Seriously though, Wine is one of the most impressive feats of software engineering I've seen, the ability to emulate a closed source platform is a real achievement.

  20. Good for Linux on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think this is very good for Linux, Any manufacturers who are looking to develop any new handheld technology,but do not want to be tied to any corporation like MS and Nokia will opt for linux - and even though they have a large market share, Nokia aren't completly dominant in the Phone/Handheld market.

  21. Spinal Tap like moment ... on Two Blanks Against the Trend · · Score: 1

    "Ok Guys we need some gimmick to sell these CD'S"
    Maybe we could use all this publicity this RIAA Thing is generating?

    But seriously, I think this is a very good statement by a band, and hopefully it will make people realise that its not the artists who are causing all the trouble, its the record companies with their insane mark-up on album prices.

    Stoned Developer 1 :"Hamsters man, just think about it dude.."
    Stoned Developer 2 :"crazeeee man"

  23. Curse of the Black Pearl on Return of the King Leads Oscar Nominations · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who would have thought a Jerry Bruckheimer produced Film based on a Disney Ride would have produced a nomination for best actor - but it was a brilliant Keith Richards-esque performance by Depp - well deserved - However I think Bill Murray will win the Oscar he sould have got for Rushmore

  24. Could Make Exams more interesting :-) on Polymer Vision Produces 5" Rollable Displays · · Score: 4, Funny
