  1. Hand crank something else instead! on Lessons To Learn From The OLPC Project · · Score: 1

    The obvious choice is ... well ... obvious, and I'm sure it would bring the sales pitch to a 'grinding' halt if you did start cranking ;)

  2. Nothing new. KB555615. on Microsoft 'Stealth Update' Proving Problematic · · Score: 1

    Nothing new here.

    KB555615 documented this in May 06.

    Come to think of it, 16 months is about the usual time lag for a /. story nowdays ;)

  3. Re:use Dial-A-Fix on Microsoft 'Stealth Update' Proving Problematic · · Score: 1

    I've been seeing this problem for years and been using Dial-A-Fix to fix it up.

    This problem with repair reinstalls isn't new.

  4. Re:On the contrary on Valve's Orange Box For PS3 Delayed, Not Console Related · · Score: 1

    So basically Carmack & Newell agree but one is non-technical, biased and quite ill informed and the other isn't.

    Hmmm ;)

  5. Story this time? on Wachowski Brothers and the Speed Racer Movie · · Score: 1

    Lets hope they remember to include a real story this time, and don't just use the words to link the special effects scenes like the last two Matrix movies.

  6. Re: overused on MS Responds To Vista's Network / Audio Problems · · Score: 1

    Every article about MS get tagged with this so it is completely meaningless now as a tag.

  7. Corroboration ... on Worm Threat Forces Apple To Disable Software? · · Score: 1

    ... on a slashdot article?

    You must be new here ;)

  8. Re:... they have found one ... on 2008 - Year of Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    ... Geeks!

    Unfortunately they are in short supply and difficult to breed ;)

  9. Decaf ! on Top Linux Developers Losing the Will To Code? · · Score: 3, Funny
  10. I must be a sad, old geek ... on Performance Evaluation of Xen Vs. OpenVZ · · Score: 1

    ... because I actually got that joke.

    Oh dear!

  11. Re:Do no evil Make more money. on Google Shareholders Reject Censorship Proposal · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, interesting.

    The subject should have been

    "Do no evil {less than symbol} Make more money."

    but /. took the {less than symbol} out of the title (and this the text) ..... grrrr.

  12. Do no evil Make more money. on Google Shareholders Reject Censorship Proposal · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Another champion shown to be false.

    Nothing else need be said .... sadly :(

  13. Re:Still Around .. and still using ICQ 2001b :) on Thousands of ICQ Numbers Deleted · · Score: 1

    I that was the the last version I tried that didn't have too much eye candy, ads, flashes etc :)

  14. Re:and in a related story... on VBootkit Bypasses Vista's Code Signing · · Score: 1

    Why is this a story?
    It's anti-MS ..... you must be new here ;)
  15. Re:April Fools on 48% of Americans Reject Evolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    God, I hope so .... oops! ;)

  16. How widespread? on Prescription Meds For Vista Sleep Disorder · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd be interested to know how widespread these sleeping disorders are.

    Our next generation of software is being tested under Vista and we have a number of dedicated test machines and dual boot development machines of different vintages. None of them have any problems at all with suspend or hibernate.

    Just because there is a cure it doesn't mean that the problem affects everybody ... although I have had hypochondriac computers in the past ;)

  17. So P2P now means planet-2-planet ;) on Building the Interplanetary Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    Forget Sealand, build a torrent server on Mars and see what the MPAA does :)

  18. Dell and others recommend 2GB... on 4 GB May Be Vista's RAM Sweet Spot · · Score: 1

    ... of course they do, they make a profit from hardware sales!

  19. Slashdotted .... quick, sue them! on Nvidia Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Vista Drivers · · Score: 1

    Well it makes about as much sense doesn't it ;)

  20. EU gets Vista-N, no media player = no DRM on UK Greens Declare Vista Bad For Environment · · Score: 3, Funny

    Since good Europeans would be buying the -N editions without media player, they can't play DRM content anyway!

    So why would they need to upgrade their monitor? ;)

  21. It's the Hudson droid from Red Dwarf ! on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 1

    ... well it is ;)

  22. Another hare brained scheme on Giant Rabbits To Feed North Korea · · Score: 1

    Sorry, couldn't resist it ;)

  23. Curry, no. Cheaper & field upgradable, yes. on The Problem With Driver-Loaded Firmware · · Score: 1

    The bottom line is ... well the bottom line in dollars.

    Programming embedded CPUs and DSPs can do the same tasks cheaper than larger silicon when there is a large number of units produced, bugs can be fixed without recalls, and new features can be added.

    It's better for everybody ... if you can get the firmware running.

  24. Re:What happened to the FUD tag? on Vista and the Music Industry · · Score: 1

    ... it's back again.

    Cue the Twilight Zone music ;)

  25. What happened to the FUD tag? on Vista and the Music Industry · · Score: 1

    It was there earlier?

    Is this the /. editors invoking their DRM capabilities ;)
