  1. London! on London Nuke Plant Loses 30 Kilos of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    Guys, its not in London, its not anywhere near London, that Nuke Plant is located in the north west of England, practically in Scotland, we are talking hundreds of miles away.

  2. Re:Funny... on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 1

    strnage, why when the 20th Anniversary was very recent would they base the 20th Anniversay Mac on a 604e? talk about slow. now 10th Anniversary, now THAT i could buy with that product. far be it from me to critise a website, i cant remember the 20th Anniversary mac being launched. and that site your pointing to really looks like the 10th anniversay mac they produced in a small number

  3. me too on Carpal Tunnel- Laptops Better than Ergo Keyboards? · · Score: 1
    actually i've kinda noticed it the other way, i switched to a laptop after having no problems and i find normal keyboards awefull, i cant touch type, speed drops off to nothing and i start developing pain after about 30 mins. keep using your laptop mate!

    actually the only thing i find is ok is one of them mini happy hacker keyboards

  4. anyone else notice the 1984 film on Apple Introduces Logic Pro 6 and Logic Express · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    apple have put a copy of there amazing 1984 short film for the macintosh on their site. but has anyone noticed that they've digitally altered the main charecter so that she is WEARING AN IPOD!!!!

  5. personally.... on Best 35mm SLR Camera for Beginners? · · Score: 1

    personally i've got an olympus OM10, the OM series is amazing, mine is 20 years old and still going strong, it gives you as much control as you want and is a solit yet quite compact SLR

  6. privacy? on Shopping Carts Go Wi-Fi · · Score: 2, Insightful

    there is nothing different about shopping with this new system then shopping without it. they already can see what you buy (unless you decide not to use the checkout and make a run for it, actually then they'd definatly know what it was you took) , and as for tracking around the store, ever hear of CCTV?

  7. Re:America's lovely legal system on Webcams Watching The Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    "the hero kids break federal law to get their own guns and stop the killers" i'm sorry, are you actually being serious? are you suggesting that kids should carry guns so that if by some random chance one of their class mates goes postal and tries to kill everyone, they can stop it????? thats the craziest idea i've EVER heard, surely the solution is to make sure kids have no access at all to guns, instead you seem to think that kids should be given guns!!! your insane!

  8. Re:I too am a hardcore gamer on Profile of a Hard-Core Gamer · · Score: 1

    i agree! if that collection of pages is what he thinks passes for some kind of resume then christ i'm not supriced that no one wants to have him work for them. idiot is possibly the only word i can come up with to describe him

  9. space station: not a chance on Inspection Microsat Tested In Orbit · · Score: 1

    they weren't in the right orbit to make it to the space station. colombia couldnt go to the space station, because its heavier then the later space shuttles it was deemed that comumbia couldnt and shouldnt go, it'd probably damage it or something, and i think also becuase it was never supposed to go there is no way of connecting to ISS but i could be wrong there. sorry but columbia was f%cked, and there is nothing a mini satilite could have done to stop it now is not the time for what if, it happend, 7 excellent human beings lost there lives in the shit scariest job going. hats off to them

  10. i think the whole e thing came from electronic on Long Computer Sessions Could Cause Blood Clots · · Score: 1

    like e-mail originally was electronic mail, probably for ease of use it was shorted, e-tail probably derived from electronic retail. nowerdays i think it just sounds snappy

  11. this question has already been answered on Is Windows Ready For Joe Longneck? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    for 'joe public' windows IS the desktop. its not a desktop without windows in some form or another. of course its ready, for the average person windows invented the desktop (yeah i knows its not actually the case but try telling your mother that)

  12. this is scary on IBM Trials TCPA Chip Under Linux · · Score: 1

    yes i know it'll bring benifits in terms of security etc, but as i'm probably misquoting alan cox here: its not your computer if you cannot dictate what you can and cannot run on it, it becomes someone elses. does this mean the end of 'free' technology? i think, the only alternative left might be apple, god i hope they dont go the DRM route

  13. i thought that this coulndt happen on Judge Rules that Kazaa can be Sued · · Score: 1

    i thought kazaa was a "true" p2p. and because it lacked a central point, couldnt be sued. oh well, one will emerge someday that is law proof, then they will write a law so they can get it, and probalby subsequently in the proccess illegalise email

  14. whats wrong with first person shooters? on Linux Port of Disciples 2 Announced · · Score: 1

    they're fun, as long as you dont take them seriously, or believe that they will teach you how to clean and reload a weapon........

  15. Re:Da Vinci the programmer on Da Vinci's Purposeful Mistakes · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe not a programmer, but definatly a UNIX or Linux guru, his beard is better then stallman's and Alan Cox's put together!

  16. Re:Brits Seize Humour Glands! on British To Release UFO Files · · Score: 1

    right, thats strange, i've been called a prommie, yet i'm british?????technically i'm a gog coming from north wales but that is something completly differnent

  17. Re:Brits Seize Humour Glands! on British To Release UFO Files · · Score: 1

    whats a pommie?

  18. Re:This will never go through on British To Release UFO Files · · Score: 5, Interesting

    sorry to break this to you, but as a british citizen, until the recent human rights act, i didnt have ANY rights, at all. and not only that, i have no constitution either.

    in britain, the queen owns my ass. though in practice because of our civil war (yes we had one, and guess what its was before yours too!) she cant actually do very much with it.

    brain wave modifiers? hello?

  19. there is a simple comand for times like this on Securing Your Internal Network from Windows? · · Score: 0, Troll

    format c: it works everytime! garenteed to protect your macs from the pc's and it does wunders for the pc's uptime as well

  20. Re:asside from the sarcasm on The Be Lives! · · Score: 1

    thanks, getting it off the german mirror, much faster

  21. asside from the sarcasm on The Be Lives! · · Score: 1

    i'm actually quite interested by this release, though the speed i'm experiancing in getting it downloaded seems to imply it'd be faster to get a plane ticket and fly to the sourceforge server as a faster means. oh well so much for a 155Mbitpersecond mega link. i never got to use BeOS, and now maybe i have a chance to experiance a well and truely object oriented OS. and it's free!!

  22. wait for it on OpenBSD Acquires IP Load Balancing · · Score: 2, Funny

    hang on, where's the obligitory " BSD is dead" post?, if its dead, how come stuff like this is getting released, it looks like bsd is focusing on its niche market, servers, i'd say load balancing is quite important there..

  23. Re:amiga? on Genesi Introduces Dedicated MorphOS PCs · · Score: 1

    i was wonderign about that, but figured that maybe they were coming up with a whole new concept, you've seen case mods with coffee machines, well maybe this just takes it one step further?

    or then again maybe not

  24. amiga? on Genesi Introduces Dedicated MorphOS PCs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    this looks aweful similar to the thing that amiga, are doing, seems like they are settgin themselves up for comepetition. i hope this wont go the same way the BeBox went

  25. its good to see multi function missions on ESA Gives Green Light To Rosetta · · Score: 1

    its great to see mission packing a hell of a lot more science, used to be the case where that would have required about 4 completly seperate vehicals etc to do this much science. or they're trying to economise
