  1. Re:No Australian spammers! on Real-time Spam Map · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well I see there is one now.

  2. Re:Any Chinese Speakers Here? on Google Losing Ground in China? · · Score: 1

    Google was named after Googol, that's pretty far from "one time" as you suggest. Maybe both the chinese and american naming comes from the number of matches you can get, or the goel for the number of indexed pages ? but then again hundreds is pretty lame.

  3. Re:Diamonds =/= Diamonds? on New Material Harder Than Diamond · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yes this article is redundant, diamonds are still the hardest.

  5. Delete ? on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated? · · Score: 1

    I save my all cookies for later reference. I love them. Sometimes I just browse through them for fun. My cookiesfolder is now 3,5GB and dates back to early 1994.

    PS. I have a backup as well.

    So you need to go by a rubber stamp to write to them... I am giving up.

    But how do they distinguish the copies from the original ?

  9. Re:That attitude is pretty stupid on Can Cell Phones Damage Our Eyes? · · Score: 1

    I'll wait until the study is actually done myself. Lets see if they can find any evidence, not just an answer like "there might be a correlation"

    Or if two different researchs come up with opposite results. Personally I think this will take just as long to find out as it takes the effects (if there are any) to show any way. Also as it is so much forward and back with the dangers people don't care that much for the different reports anymore.

  10. Re:That attitude is pretty stupid on Can Cell Phones Damage Our Eyes? · · Score: 1

    I did read it and noted the statement about "tubular long bones" but I just mean that everything concerning this whole radiation from cellphones is so unsure that hey why can't you get Osteosarcoma as well. I am no doctor either but I just guessed there are some connective tissue around the skull somewhere aswell.

  11. Re:Surely he was misquoted? On both? ;-) on Google Maps Creator Takes Browsers To The Limit · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what started the downfall of browsers in the first place?

    I thought it was unbridled enthusiasm that led to browsers downfall.

    You see garcia, Bill was a simple country boy. You might say a cockeyed optimist who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.

    Heard about Osteosarcoma ?

  13. Re:I miss KDE 1.0 on Preview of KDE 3.5 · · Score: 1

    Miss ? I suppose you can still use it if you want. It's not like it was erased from the universe when the next version was released.

  14. CheckMate on Can a Bayesian Spam Filter Play Chess? · · Score: 1

    Suddenly you will get a spam like:

  23. Re:The question every firefox user is asking on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 1

    you can install a tiny little plugin
    Numerous plugins block...
    "paranoia" plugin adds a button
    Numerous plugins let you...
    Numerous plugins save...
    I could go on all day...

    About Numerous plugins perhaps ? That's why I don't like firefox. I just want the things I need to be there. And if you don't need them don't use them. And my grandpa would definitely not want to look for plugins... just the word plugin is as foreign to him as some medical terms used in brain surgery. The opera way of including lot's of functionality also better guarantees the quality of the code as it comes from the same provider. Of course I can see that the plugins can be useful, but I don't have the energy for that.
