  1. Only old people in Korea use Facebook on Facebook Blocks KDE Photo App, Deletes Users' Pics · · Score: 1

    Did I get it right? Is that meme too old now?

  2. Re:"Your US driver's license" on Driver's License to be the Next Debit Card · · Score: 1

    comments on slashdot rarely make me laugh these days. Nice one.

  3. Re:Not Really New on Parking Attendant 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing these type of garages in Osaka in 2001 or 2002, if I'm not mistaken

  4. Re:Eh? on Security Software Conflicts with AJAX? · · Score: 1

    I don't use ajax, but I'm guessing the logic goes somewhat along the lines of this: A page refresh to update a single control might require 5 database queries in order to completely populate the page's controls, whilst an ajax request to update a single control requires 1.

  5. Rebuilding New Orleans With Science? on Rebuilding New Orleans With Science · · Score: 1

    No way! This is America. We rebuild with Christianity!

  6. Re:Meanwhile in real life on Japanese Develop 'Female' Android · · Score: 1

    People in rural Japan look at me like I'm from Mars. I kind of enjoy it.

  7. Re:As always... on Rundown on SSH Brute Force Attacks · · Score: 1

    I've noticed that all the attacks on my boxes come from Korea also.

  8. M*A*S*H on Star Wars Props Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that thinks it would be cooler to own the "around the world" mileage sign post used throughout the M*A*S*H television series than any of the Star Wars stuff? Oh. I'm that uncool?

  9. Re:Archive versus Backup: Know the difference! on Best Way to Back Up Photos and Video? · · Score: 1

    Where can I find some reliable information on what brands of DVDs are actually good? What ones would you recommend?

  10. Re:You are expendable pawns. on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 1

    I call bullshit on you!. I have heard of no such survey where 94% of Iraqis feel they are better off now than under Saddam. In fact, I heard on NPR recently that dissatisfaction with the current situation is rife in many parts of Iraq. Can you tell me where I can see the results of this survey?

  11. Re:Neat! on Visual DDoS Representation and Its Ramifications · · Score: 1

    Thanks to you we can all watch it happen all over again!

  12. Re:DVDs? I hope not. on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1
    This poses a problem. Where will all that data go? It has to go somewhere.

    It goes up. And out. It goes up and out.

  13. Re:Go see it in theaters on 'Sith' Already Found Online · · Score: 1

    I just did - it was great. There were laser pointers on the screen the whole way through and the last person to use my seat had kindly left a whole bunch of chocolate there that proceded to melt under my arse undetected. I came out of the theatre looking like I'd shat myself. Sorry, but that's the last straw for me.

  14. Re:As Australians, let's vote to up the price... on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 1

  16. Tourism? on Star Wars Sickout · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "It will result in increased spending on movie tickets and refreshments, increased foreign and domestic tourism, and increased business in shops near the theaters,"

    What's the justification for an increase in tourism?

    it's not wierd, it's a meta tag with http-equiv="refresh". it's, erm, pretty normal. see here: http://vancouver-webpages.com/META/metatags.detail .html

  20. Re:*Cough* *cough* *splutter* *splutter* on Fair Use Review in Australia · · Score: 2, Funny

    As an Australian, let me explain my thoughts about the FTA and it's IP scariness into language you Americans might understand: "You can have my iPod when you pry it from my cold dead hands."

  21. Re:Typecast?!??!?!? on David Tennant Cast as New Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    Every time I see Tom Baker on that Scottish show or hear his voice I think Dr Who. For a guy who hasn't been Dr Who in 30 years, I think he's typecast.

  22. Re:Not sure I get this one. on Media Organizations Join Forces to Fight Canadian Ruling · · Score: 1

    To the contrary, U.S. courts are quite happy to enforce valid foreign judgments, and in fact do so by the dozens each day.

    Only when it suits them. BTW what's up with this Bobby Fischer shit?

  23. I nominate fed.gov.au for the first fine on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    Many a time I have felt like committing suicide when looking in vain for information on the federal government's website.

  24. Re:Got a pipe wrench? on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Here in Australia there is a shortage of tradespeople. It's apparently easy to earn >$100k as a plumber (or so an abc news radio report I heard said).

  25. Re:BE CAREFUL on DVHS on a Budget · · Score: 1

    Did anybody else cut holes in the side of their 5 1/4 inch floppies for their 1541 drive to make them double-sided? It was amazing. From memory it turned 170 Kb of storage into a massive 340 KB OF STORAGE!!!
