  1. Re:Interesting, however... on Independence Day for Transformers Live Action · · Score: 1

    I don't know, AI was a good movie but the ending just looked like it was tacked on to make everyone feel good. I think it would have been better if he just sat there on the bottom of the ocean forever.

  2. Re:What about Konqueror? on Google Toolbar for Firefox Released · · Score: 1

    I think the main reason there isn't a Google bar for Konquerer is that both of its users aren't fans of toolbars.

  3. Re:The new "vi vs emacs"? on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    No because unlike Emacs both Opera and Firefox can be used for productive work. /ducksandcovers

    Well the alternative is to rip out its insides and stuff the thing. Now you tell me which is the bigger waste.

    Heres a good one:

  9. Re:um... on Designing an OS for Blind/Deaf Users? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better if you set the resolution as high as possible but ramped up the DPI setting? That way you would have well defined charicters and no pixilation, but it would still be as large as a 320x240 display.

    You should've also pointed out that just to the lower right of Parlament House is the headquarters of ASIO, Australias version of the CIA, notice that in an attempt to one up the Americans we have a Hexagon. Lets face it, its like comparing a amp that goes to 10 and an amp that goes to 11, its a whole side better then your shitheap "pentagon".

    Note. I have no idea what the building actually is.

  12. Re:not economically feasible not a surprise on Orlando Cancels Free WiFi Project · · Score: 1

    Currently I think Wifi is lacking some killer apps, once they start appearing we will have a lot more use for it. However at the moment the main benefit of Wifi is the fact that it is there if you need it, and really if you need some net access urgently, or just to look up what the capital of Slovakia is (Bratislava for those of you who don't know) to settle a bet having some Wifi access is a godsend.

  15. Re:Surprising, this is not... on Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    I don't think so, with Dell you end up paying a $400 premium for their lackluster support and warentee.

    Hey speaking of which, I remember a site years ago that would look and behave completely like Mac OS 9 Is that site still around?

  17. Re:fallacy on U.S. Offers Glimpse at Manhattan Project Facility · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know why Americans are always bitching about the French surrendering, I mean towards the start of German occupation thousands upon thousands of frenchmen were dying each day on the front lines. There is a big difference between getting your arse handed to you and then giving up and surrendering for no good reason. Really the French and Japan had exactly the same reasons for surrendering an agressor, had killed hundreds of thousands of their army. So they surrendered and the killing stopped.

  18. Re:Don't forget the other factors on France and Japan Planning New Supersonic Jet · · Score: 1

    Indonesian Airlines are the best, they don't give two hoots about the legal drinking age so they were serving me free vodka on the flight over there when I was all of 12. My parents kept a better watch on me on the way back though.

    Well assume for a second your a chinese citizen going to MSN China and all of a sudden you are arrested for political crimes. It may not happen like that but wouldn't you feel bad for someone if they were arrested because of something you wrote?

    Given that the UK tax payer funds the program I'm reasonably sure it isn't as commercialised as whatever you have in America.

  24. Re:MWHAHAHAHA on India Will Need to Recruit 120,000 Foreigners · · Score: 2, Informative
    American English is actually quite forgiving of foreign accents
    Given that I've seen American TV programs that have Australian and New Zealand accents subtitled I'd have to disagree with that comment.
  25. Re:No good if the seat in front is reclined on Wi-Fi Coming on U.S. Domestic Flights · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've found the best way to deal with someone like this is to order pickled onions/ salami/ anything that gives shocking bad breath and then breath, heavily and slowly as close the the headrest as possible. Fart loudly if you can. Pick your nose and wipe it on their headrest. Occasionally say your name and clap three times. Have a converstation about your most recient bowel movements with the person infront of you, if they don't speak your language all the better, if they do consider making up a language in which to talk to them. No one wants to be near a disgusting smelly nut, much less talk to one.
