  1. Re:Microsoft's response on Australian ISPs Asked To Cut Off Malware-Infected PCs · · Score: 1

    will those people really decide the internet is not worth it?

    Let's hope so.

  2. What, no link? on "Wiretapping" Charges May Be Oddest Ever Recorded · · Score: 4, Informative

    Link to source?

  3. Re:Finally useful... on Nintendo Releases Wii Browser For Free, Updates Flash · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just use a wireless USB Logitech keyboard I had lying around. No need to buy a specific Wii keyboard.

  4. Re:OK on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Or just use the license anyway, it's not like they'll cancel it and prevent it activating.

  5. Re:I bet you could sell it to someone else for mor on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 1

    Manual activations work fine over the phone in this situation. I've done hundreds of them. You used to have to speak to an MS rep sometimes but in the last 12 months I don't think I've had to. All done through the automated system.

  6. Re:Not in automatic updates, really? on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Released · · Score: 1, Troll

    But did it install automatically? No, you had to do it yourself. Read the words, they're important.

  7. Re:Wii Hardware on Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August · · Score: 1

    Games have to be written specifically for Motion Plus. Older games won't be able to access the new hardware, unless they're rewritten.

  8. Re:I am NOT addicted! on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 5, Funny

    Quitting is easy. I've done it loads of times.

  9. Re:House has nothing better to do? on March 14th Officially Becomes National Pi Day · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they haven't stopped working on all other issues just to focus on this.

  10. But March 14th is already taken! on March 14th Officially Becomes National Pi Day · · Score: 5, Informative

    Steak and Blowjob day has already claimed March 14th.

  11. Re:Water is heavy on Using Lasers and Water Guns To Clean Space Debris · · Score: 1

    You know, I haven't seen an AOL trial CD in the UK in YEARS.

  12. Re:Good sales : on The Age of Steam · · Score: 1

    I did the same 2 days ago, £4.24 off Steam.

    These days, if a games NOT on Steam, I don't buy it.

    Oh yeah, World Of Goo rocks, If any of you don't have it, buy it!

  13. Battletoad on NASA Contest To Name ISS Module · · Score: 2, Funny

    TBH.

  14. Re:It's indeed great on Half-Life Short Film Grabs Attention · · Score: 3, Funny

    Except Gordon Freeman isn't in this video...

  15. So it doesn't run on water at all? on Jet Pack Runs For Hours On Water · · Score: 4, Informative

    It actually runs on whatever powers the engine that drives the pump.

  16. Re:BD+ on BD+ Successfully Resealed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is the welsh language film industry really that active?

  17. Re:same shit, different paint? on Windows 7 Benchmarks Show Little Improvement On Vista · · Score: 1

    Which might be true if Vista wasn't already at SP1.

  18. Hello World already running on DSI on Nintendo DSi Sells Out Quickly, Reviews Coming In · · Score: 3, Informative

    Allegedly someone has already got homebrew running on the DSi, no news on his methods though.

  19. Re:Suggesting nightlies to regular users?! on Minefield Shows the (Really) Fast Future of Firefox · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I dunno. I use the nightlies at work and the stable at home, it's very rare that anything is really broken in the nightlies and it crashes about as much as the stable version.

    I don't use any extensions though.

  20. Re:SDHC support? on Nintendo's Homebrew-Blocking Update Hacked · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Wii still doesn't support SDHC. The homebrew channel does and homebrew apps will be able to.

    This doesn't affect the Wii itself in anyway, so you won't be able to use it to copy save files to etc.

  21. Re:PS3? Of course it runs Linux. on Nintendo Blocks Homebrew Installation · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That's not homebrew though is it? That's a feature built into the console (if you install linux).

  22. Re:Wiimote on Nintendo Blocks Homebrew Installation · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah, cos the homebrew PS3 scene is really rocking at the moment.

  23. Hook your domain up to Google Apps. on Email-only Providers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I run my domain through google apps. Works well. You can have as many accounts as you need, 6gb mailbox, etc etc.

    http://www.google.com/apps/

    Give it a go, it's free!

  24. Re:Windows XP Activation made me a Linux user on What Modern Games Are DRM-Free? · · Score: 1

    I agree, never had any issues with Steam. I generally won't buy a game unless it's available on Steam, purely because it's so convenient.

  25. Re:overtaken by new technologies on High Cost of Converting UK To High-Speed Broadband · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They're talking about digging up streets to lay fibre

    They don't HAVE to though. Check out http://www.fibrecity.eu/fibrecity-england.htm

    They're doing this near me at the moment, unfortunately I'm *just* outside the catchment area. Googles April Fools joke comes true...
