  1. Experts? on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A lot of experts have also pointed to the attack being "typical of Al Qaeda".

    Typical of a government wishing to force a change onto an unwilling populous (read ID Cards). History just repeats itself.

  2. Quick! Where can I get my copy?!? on Windows AntiSpyware Downgrades Claria Detections · · Score: 1

    I'm sure everyone *CANT WAIT* to get it on their systems!

  3. ob: In Thailand.... on Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand · · Score: 1

    the catfish eat YOU!

  4. Not necessarily the same architecture on Next-Gen Console CPUs Not Up to Hype · · Score: 1

    I'd say more like the same compiler.

  5. Re:Right on Norwegian Minister: No More Proprietary Formats · · Score: 1

    I think Bush said it best, or tried to: "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"
    The feckless twit couldn't even get that right! Here's the proof!

  6. Re:Microsoft.co.uk on 10 Percent of UK Sites Incompatible with Firefox · · Score: 1

    No he was thinking of Ronnie Corbet.

  7. Re:Home workers on Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail · · Score: 1

    You forgot the word "breaking" in that last sentance.

  8. Wishlist on Broadcast Flag Sneak Not Attempted · · Score: 1

    1. EFF take over American foreign policy
    2. Linux on the desktop
    3. ???
    4. Profit!

  9. Plain Stupid on Microsoft Cuts Anti-Virus Support For Unix / Linux · · Score: 1

    We have linux mail servers here and XP on most desktops. I was on the lookout for new A/V software and my requirements are simple:

    1. Works on XP
    2. Allows me to d/l my updates via ftp or http
    3. Works on Linux

    There's a suprising amount of vendors who support this and there's a suprising amount of people using linux for mail servers. Microsoft need to understand that in a market they don't monopolise, cutting off potential customers is not the way to do business.

  10. Re:The trouble with this analysis... on Linus On The Future Of Microsoft · · Score: 1
    ...is that what happened in the past does not necessarily mean the same thing will happen in the future.

    History *does* repeat itself! I'm getting quite tired of re-iterating it!

  11. My transition from consumer/coder to criminal on Major Blow to Opponents of Software Patents in EU · · Score: 1

    ..is almost complete. And I haven't even done a sodding thing.

  12. Win the war? It's impossible... on Major Blow to Opponents of Software Patents in EU · · Score: 1

    ... when the opposition make up the rules.

  13. The Butterfly Effect on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    So, is this now obselete? I don't think so...! If I were to punch someone in the street, I'm likely to get into a fight, which will lead to injury, which meanstomorrow I'll be worse off. That's why I won't do it. If I drop a banana skin, chances are someone will slip on it and have a worse day than they would have ifI hadn't done that. Truth is, every action has a consequence. Which is why I think this "theory" is rubbish. You cannot go back in time and have no impact on the present. Just being there will attract someone's attention onto you. I'll prove it. Now you've read this, your brain has altered it's state in some small way. So what difference is there if I wrote this in the present or in my past? None. I have still made a change in your brain. *When* I wrote it is irrelevant.

  14. Does it come with.... on PC Case Made Completely of Fans · · Score: 1

    ...a volume control?

  15. Editors: on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 1

    It's Mice, not mouses.

  16. Irony on Microsoft's Slap at Samba · · Score: 1

    The whole point of them being in the feckin dock in the first place is because of anti-competitive practices, with open source being highlighted as a victim of this. Now Microsoft are suggesting this? If the courts say "Yes ok" to thid then the whole thing is about kickbacks. Plain and simple.

  17. Re:Slap on the wrist on EU satisfied With Microsoft's Antitrust Plan · · Score: 1

    DAMN! I read that as "Slit on the wrist"!

  18. They dropped the "My" because..... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    ...in reality, you don't "own" anything on a windows box. The "my" normally refers to the person who pwn3ds you!

  19. Re:Learn some f***ing geography on The Horror Of British Telecom · · Score: 1

    Ah! Fwy o cymro ar /.! :)

  20. Learn some f***ing geography on The Horror Of British Telecom · · Score: 4, Funny
    British Telecom is a UK company. UK != England
    England is a subset of UK
    UK = Wales, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland
    Each country has it's own race. Calling the UK "England" is both offensive and ignorant.

    Please learn some geography and manners.
    Thank you.

  21. Re:Well, as an educational software developer. . . on UK Schools Told to Dump Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I'm a network manager for a 5 campus FE college. I have to develop stuff all the time. Do you have a website or something with your projects on that I may contribute to?
