  1. 3G on Is 3G Irrelevant? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    3G put huge debt every uk telecoms provider who signed up for it. Mobiles had stopped bringing in much *new* money, so new services seemed the next big step. As such, they acutely overpaid.

  2. Re:IDG mirrored below on .ZIP Standard to Fragment? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    it isnt a troll. it is funny.

  3. i read this as a plum on RIAA Grabs Student's Life's Savings · · Score: 2, Interesting

    and actually felt a bit sick [read: really disgusted angry feeling inside me]. i've recovered now.

  4. am i reading this wrong on Force Field. No, Really · · Score: 3, Funny

    bahahahahahhahaha i'm just so evil. i wrote a note about it in my journal DFX. *looks about innocently*

    and ya know what, its down again

  8. Re:prearranged award ? on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And you think acceptance speeches from half way around the world, with the award being conveniantly there for the winner, are live?

  9. Re:i know its karma whoring (torrent link) on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 1

    I think this case was unique because it is a custom tracker coded in php/mySQL (the official one is in python), and rather than overloading the CPU mySQL gave php the middle finger to save its self. With 470 clients querying info about the other 469, I don't blame it. Either way its running again so all is happy.

  10. Re:i know its karma whoring (torrent link) on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 1

    if the tracker cannt cope then downloading the torrent from another site won't help. the achilles heel of BT is the tracker :(

    I'm glad to know when I mail daddypants it doesnt go to some man in a long jacket!

  12. i know its karma whoring (torrent link) on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 5, Informative

    and i know i dont need the karma, but could everyone who already has the vid seed the torrent. Everyone else can start now :D

  13. Re:80 lines... on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 4, Funny

    They prefer to call it an easter egg.

  14. hotmail on Spammers Exploiting Hotmail Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On the spamcop newsgroup this has come up several times, increasing frequently. After tens of complainst to hotmail, still the canned 'measures you can do to prevent spam' email returns. Nice to know they care about their soon to be blacklisting.

  15. Re:cheap? on Corel to be bought by Vector Capitol · · Score: 1

    i'd call 24mill cheap

  16. Re:Torrent files on Gentoo Offers PPC LiveCDs · · Score: 1

    yup. my second time of complaining could have been because i didnt do a refresh on the page so my cache caught it

  19. Re:Why would I want to use exim? on The Exim SMTP Mail Server · · Score: 1

    Blueyonder have recently introduced several exim servers to their mail service, too.

  20. Commercial uses on Interview Responses From BitTorrent's Bram Cohen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A commercial branch of BT could be packaged up nicely as a spyware free alternative to things like kontiki which companys like gamespot.com use to send large files to non paying users but avoiding the bandwidth costs.

  21. Re:My experience ..... on Major Tablet PC Running Into Problems? · · Score: 1

    Also the guy who draws for penny arcade bought one has found it incredibly useful as a mobile sketchbook for rough drawings that he can bring about to events, and then he does the pictures are done up on a proper pc and photoshop.

  22. ahem? on IE6 SP1 Will Be Last Standalone Version · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is this the same microsoft that was told it couldnt bundle the browser with its OS?

  23. Re:Two stroke? on Aqwon, the First Hydrogen Scooter · · Score: 1

    Though in the hindenburg it was used to help the craft float and not to drive it, or am I mistaken?

  24. insert subject here on AOL Pulls Nullsoft's WASTE · · Score: 0

    I am slightly disturbed that AOL have posted that message posing as nullsoft, and it is clear that it is AOL's words because they don't understand the GPL (and as such cannt pull the software). The message also sounds like it has been written by lawyers (the "Evil").

  25. Taking security for granted on Microsoft to Clean Up Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would never want to take my security for granted, in any product. Not windows, not open source, not even goddamn openbsd that proclaims proudly 'only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 7 years' on its front page. Only one hole that has been found. The chances are that, somewhere, there is an obscure security hole that nobody has discovered. It would become the second.
