  1. Re:Yes! on Yahoo! Releases Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    No no no, it's GMail. Even Apple would agree, gMail looks pants.

  2. Re:Global Tracking on EU Presses Ahead With Galileo GPS System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is an issue at the moment that GPS is the de-facto standard for both consumers and business, and there isn't really any competition out there. Should the GPS system fail or be temporarily "upgraded" so that "terrorists" suddenly think they're a mile away from where they really are I don't know of an alternative that The Rest of Us (TM) can use.

  3. Re:Pot. Kettle. Black. on Apple Threatens iTunes.co.uk Owner · · Score: 1

    It isn't good on apple's part. Not at all.

    They were caught out: Their trademark was made public after the domain was registered, hence impossible to prove that it was registered with malicious intent. Tough luck, and I hope that this one fails.

  4. Re:They should mention that no firewall was used.. on Clean System to Zombie Bot in Four Minutes · · Score: 2

    Duh. They arn't testing how fast someone can install a firewall. They're testing how prone a typical user is to T3H H4X0RS - the same typical user will turn on and go which is why SP2 is a good thing (tm).

  5. Re:Personal preference question on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux) · · Score: 4, Funny

    *resists urge to mod -1 for showing off about access to secret societies* :-)

  6. Re:Well.... it would depend on the target market. on 7 Megapixel Camera Phone · · Score: 1

    You don't get karma for being modded funny. RTFAQ

  7. Re:Great idea... on UK to Privatize Radio Spectrum? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dang.. that daily commute from India to fix Ms. Johnstone's phone line must be a bitch.

  8. Re:dupe! on New Atomic Clock 1000 Times More Accurate · · Score: 1

    You lose! ;)

  9. dupe! on New Atomic Clock 1000 Times More Accurate · · Score: 1

    not really. what a difference a year and a half makes. someone even mentioned 1 in 30bn in the comments

  10. Re:2.81 the tops on WinAmp's Death Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    So the security issues don't bother you? Winamp 5 when installed without the video/library/flexiskin functions basically is Winamp 2, with similar memory usage to boot. Winamp has always been upfront with me about what files to link to it, too.

  11. Re:I would laugh on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 4, Informative

    It is very possible for any client on the internet to retrieve the list of connected ips from the tracker. After all, it's just a fancy http server.

  12. Re:Google just sucks on Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated] · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Perhaps then they should step up their renewal cycle, at least when indexing new pages into their database. With 20/20 hindsight it's an obvious problem.

  13. Re:19% of ZDNet users? on Firefox Shooting For 10 Percent · · Score: 1

    They arn't claiming that their own figures are reflective of the rest of the internet, hence why they've published the report on the 10% aim.

  14. Re:Crazy Fad or New Social Activity on Geeks Playing Poker? · · Score: 1

    We've been playing that recenty (under the alias Danish) interspersed with games of spoons, cheat and scabby queen. The people around me wouldn't have the patience for poker.

  15. Re:second post? on DSPAM v3.2 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Spamcop and Spamhaus I agree with. SORBS demand payment for removal of clean servers (albeit not to them). That just doesn't chime when people spam through an isp's smtp server and get caught.

  16. Re:Seems an easy tradeoff to me... on FCC Approves BPL Despite Interference Concerns · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not all natural disasters destroy the power distribution network.

  17. healthcare on Bush, Kerry, and Nader Respond to Youth Voter Questions · · Score: 1

    We are fortunate in America to have the best health care system in the world

    While the quality of care may be superb, putting the entitlement of your citizen's in the hands of private for-profit companys seems rather a poor policy. After all, the best insurance policy is an unclaimed policy.

  18. Re:Suggestions for Team Dirac: on BBC Wants Help With Dirac Codec · · Score: 1

    Modification can still occur, for personal use. Forking a video standard is asinine.

  19. Re:Charities?!? on Sun Files For Patent on Software Licensing Method · · Score: 1

    It's them trying to jump on the corporate responsibility bandwagon. Like tobacco firms sponsoring the creation of a new park: Totally unrelated but "kind" acts that can be seen right through.

  20. Re:At least it's only a minor problem . . . on FFXI / ISP Incompatibility Shuts Users Out · · Score: 0

    Yes, they are. Square gets $13 a month off each and every player in their universe.

  21. Re:pre-order tertiary phase on CD from Amazon.co.u on New Hitchhiker's Episodes Available Online · · Score: 1

    Here's a non-broken-up and very clickable link to it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/056351043 9/

  22. Re:Unreal ED on UT2004 Editor's Choice Edition Released · · Score: 1

    ... but still not economically viable. The hours involved ($$$) in the port would still be wasted on a very small market portion.

  23. Re:No Hard Drive on Smaller Networked Sony "PStwo" Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about how much space FFXI needs, but a CF/microdrive slot would probably be able to cope.

  24. Re:Get Rid Of It on Lost Nuclear Bomb Found Off Georgia Coast? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Oh yes, an arab group.

    Why not a neo nazi group, a christian group or a mormon group with a submarine horse drawn cart? Singling out any of the above shows equal understanding of how many groups have a chip against the US Government.

  25. Re:Linux Version on Doom 3 Demo Available · · Score: 1

    Only on an OS with few supporting 3D games (ie: not windows) would one not notice the atrocity that is the GFFX 5200.
