  1. Re:Release date on MS Says Longhorn To Arrive 2005 · · Score: 1

    You don't? All my m8s from when I went to school (read: until last week) have MSN, but not ICQ/AIM/Yahoo!.

  2. Re:Lame on Sudden Death Experience · · Score: 1

    Gah, the Wildcat gave me a headache when I rode it last year (or was it the year before?)... And having ridden the Rattlesnake in Chessington World of Adventures I knew to steer clear of the Wildmouse (they are the same thing) ;).

  3. Re:to be technically correct... on Stallman Meets KDE Team for Tea · · Score: 1

    bash, bison, gzip, automake, autoconf, autotools, GNU tar, gnome, glibc, gimp...and I could go on, but I won't ;).

  4. Re:Lets all thank EFF! on RIAA, MPAA Lose Suit Against Streamcast and Grokster · · Score: 1

    The parent was the one hosting it ;).

  5. Re:My Reaction to Adventure Gaming on Adventure Gaming: Rest In Peace? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I generally quite like IF and adventure games for some odd reason ;)
    I'll take a look...

  6. Re:My Reaction to Adventure Gaming on Adventure Gaming: Rest In Peace? · · Score: 1
    Would be the perfect game to get your 13-15 year old daughter, BTW.

    Way to put me [a 16 year old son] off it ;)
  7. Re:Credit card?! on Second Life Opens Public Beta · · Score: 1

    He's talking about "There"... and damn you for making me post and lose mod ability for this story, I wanted to mod the parent back up :P.

  8. Re:Tux didn't give it away? on The Must-Fix List For 2.6.0 · · Score: 1

    You can't load images on dialup? That's news to me...

  9. Yay on When N2H2 Mistakenly Calls Your Website 'Porn'? · · Score: 1
    Playing around with the URL thingy:

    The Site: www.goatse.cx
    is categorized by N2H2 as:
    Adults Only
    Pornography


    Porn? Are there people out there who get turned on by goatse? o_O
  10. Re:give a simple name on Mozilla Branding Strategy Clarified · · Score: 1

    "Creative"? Like "gnumeric"? ;)

  11. Re:why now? on Mozilla Branding Strategy Clarified · · Score: 1

    "Killustrator" - is that a drawing package for hitmen?

  12. Re:Hrmm on Mozilla Branding Strategy Clarified · · Score: 1

    I think I've seen an X-Leela header once... Probably just my imagination.

  13. Re:flame on on Using a PC as a Remote Control? · · Score: 1

    Well, once I've finished school I almost certainly will change it to Linux...

    Anyway, the lirc site seems to imply that it does support IrDA.

  14. Re:Why? on Using a PC as a Remote Control? · · Score: 1

    Mostly "just because"... but it would be useful when I'm on the bed on my laptop and can't find the remote ;).

  15. Re:IRDA vs IR on Using a PC as a Remote Control? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, it probably is IRDA - but doesn't LIRC support that? It seems to imply that...

  16. Re:web log spam on Online Marketers to Stamp out Spam? · · Score: 1

    I've had this a couple of times - but not that much. My logs are filled with useful referrers ;).

  17. Re:Children Shouldn't Be on the Internet Period on Amazon Calls Children's Privacy Complaint Groundless · · Score: 1

    Yeah... 16 is definitely too late. I've been browsing the web since I was 8 or 9, and "regularly" since I was 11. If I was the OP's son, then I would have been allowed to use the Internet for a whole fscking 10 days. Wow, like, 10 days. That would have seriously fscked my GCSE coursework, having to do it all at school. And I wouldn't have learned PHP/Perl/whatever. And what's wrong with a bit of porn? It never harmed me...

  18. Re:eBay on Amazon Calls Children's Privacy Complaint Groundless · · Score: 1

    Wha??????
    eBay is not targeting young kids - hell I can't buy anything for another 2 years, and I've been buying online from most places for ages!

    Odd...

  19. Re:MicroPayment Model for Minors Now Needed on New Online Music Push by EMI · · Score: 1

    I've been paying for stuff online with a debit card since I was 11 (Solo card via NatWest) - I'd love to use eBay, but can't becauase they lock out people under 18 :/. If they currently lock out under-18s for no reason, I don't really see them opening it up...

  20. Re:Read this. on Debian GNU/Linux to Declare GNU GFDL non-Free? · · Score: 1

    The word you were fumbling for was "disgusting"... ...sorry...

  21. Re:Web related things easier to judge on What Makes an Open Source Project Successful? · · Score: 1

    Cool - bloat must be really successful :-)

  22. Re:Conspiracy Theory on Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved · · Score: 1

    I just M2d one of your moderations as "fair", but I still have to disagree :). You don't have to give the code to Nintendo (at least) if you make something for the Gamecube - see the GC Action Replay. Datel had a bit of a job getting the DVDs mass-produced, but I highly doubt they had the cooperation of anyone at Nintendo.

    Hehehe... University of Phoenix in Opera...

  24. Re:RPM for Redhat 7 does not seem to work on Opera 7.10 Released (First Opera 7.x For Linux) · · Score: 1

    I believe 7.2 comes with Qt 2...

  25. Re:spam is a killer on Spam Research Six Month Report · · Score: 1

    You can't? ;)
    I only get ~4 pieces of spam per day, if that, and it gets filtered by SpamAssassin. And look! My addy is unobfuscated on /. and my site :P
