  1. Perhaps on Alternative to Groove? · · Score: 1

    Funk?

  2. Okay n00b question on Anti-Matter's Potential in Treating Cancer · · Score: 1

    Can someone please explain what Anti-matter actually is? Is it matter just misnamed and slightly different? Is it the absence of matter?

    Could I hold it?

    How do you make it?

  3. Re:"Ever wonder if pocket gophers have lice?" on The Coevolution of Lice & Their Hosts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Further to that...

    What the fuck is a pocket gopher?

  4. Re:When Commodore... on Commodore Returns with New Gaming PCs · · Score: 1

    Commodore didn't create the OS that ran on the C64. Microsoft did.

  5. The only reason I'm not scared.. on The Pentagon Wants a 'TiVo' to Watch You · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The only reason this doesn't scare me is that I'm supremely confident that government red tape, massive budgetary blow outs and vendor selection based purely on campaign contributions will never result in a workable system.

  6. Re:80 complaints ? on Award-Winning Ad Taken Off Air In Australia · · Score: 1

    Actually it only took two to get "Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure" banned in Australia. The situation is pathetic.

  7. What annoys me the most about this... on DoD Warez Leader Faces 10 Years in Jail · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What annoys me the most about this is that Australia has perfectly good laws under which to charge him. Why aren't they good enough?

  8. Re:Welcome on SETI Finally Finds Something · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How do you know the wikipedia entry wasn't copied directly from that comment?

  9. Re:Why would we want OpenID? on AOL Now Supports OpenID · · Score: 1

    Here is a big benefit. A single unified login will obsolete sites like bugmenot.com overnight. And I'm sure the owners of that site would be happy to see it go.

  10. Re:Photos or she ain't real! on Groklaw No Front for IBM · · Score: 1

    Not even that. How do you know that any picture anyone supplies of some random chick no one has ever seen is real? You could just go photograph some random broad and claim that was her.

  11. OH NOS!!! on US Group Wants Canada Blacklisted Over Piracy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't put us on your list! Whatever will we do if you put our countries name on a list? I mean I might fly to another country and the people there could say "Hey! That guys country is on a LIST! Kill him!"

    It could, and probably will, happen.

  12. How about. on Entire Twilight Princess Script Available Online · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I realise there is probably a good technical reason why this isn't possible but wouldn't it be a bit easier to download a rip of the game and extract all the text? I know it wouldn't give context but it would greatly reduce typing.

  13. Hotmails Interface is teh suck on Microsoft Not Dropping Hotmail Name · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I haven't used my Hotmail account in a long while, but the final straw of their ad-laden interface was the stupid "Today" tab. It was the first thing that showed up when you logged in. Why the hell would I be going to Hotmail unless it was to check my email? My Inbox is the first thing I should see, not the crappy "Today" tab that as far as I can tell is just there to get an extra ad impression.

    Now I have gmail and it is all business, I log in and see my emails. No extra clicking and I don't even notice the ads.

  14. Re:Oh, Congress won't pay for it. on ISP Tracking Legislation Hits the House · · Score: 2, Informative

    As much as I hate it, Australian law requires ISP's to keep logs of all their users activities for 7 years. Meaning the records of the first porn site I ever visited should be expiring in about a month. I don't like it, but it is entirely possible to log all web browsing activity.

  15. Re:24 on Aqua Teen Stunt Costs Turner and Agency $2M · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's part of what I call the "24" effect (after the Fox Network program 24).
    He said he was from Australia, not under a rock in a dark cave on mars!
  16. Re:Good news for OOTP movie on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Release Date Announced · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wow what an amazing and fortunate coincidence!

  17. Summary of the story on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Release Date Announced · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. Harry goes to school.
    2. After a few weeks something weird starts to happen.
    3. Ignore it until just before the school year ends.
    4. Find out what was causing whatever was weird to happen.
    5. Defeat it/Showdown with Voldemort.

    But seriously I love the books.

  18. Its a great game. on Linden Labs Sends "Permit-and-Proceed" Letter · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've always said second life is like four times better then half-life.

  19. Re:Vista on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, look in the path bar, if you click on the level above where you are at, then it goes to that directory automatically...don't think Vista has an option to re-enable the "Up" button that is in XP. I could be wrong, though.

  20. Re:Possibly false assertion from the Linux guy?? on OS Comparisons From the BBC · · Score: 1

    Wow, I can't believe people can learn to interpret languages that consist almost entirely of different sized and weighted question marks. Impressive!

  21. Great but... on Scientists Hope To Settle "Hobbit" Debate · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now they will have to find what came between Homo Sapian and Homo Floresiensis. /ducks for cover.

  22. Re:Five years? on Verizon Rejected iPhone Deal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Americans need to get with the program. I don't know how your phone systems work there, but in the rest of the world all you need to do to change phones is to buy the phone and put your sim card in it. What is going on over there?

  23. Re:A dream come true? on Uncle Sam Spoils Dream Trip To Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    when going to trainstations, there's people who might try to beat you off just because you don't give them a cigarett or you look
    too good for their liking or rich.
    Sounds great to me.
  24. Screw Upgrading on Vista Upgrades Require Presence of Old OS · · Score: 4, Funny

    Screw Upgrading, I finally have the hardware to allow my Windows XP install to boot as fast as my Amiga used to.

  25. Re:Which words? on Scientists Unveil Most Dense Memory Circuit Ever Made · · Score: 1

    Isn't it 16bit values?

    Actually now I have a look at the Wikipedia topic I fear I'm opening a can of worms.
