  1. Re:Bill Gates declares EU "Axis of Evil" on Microsoft turns to U.S. for EU Antitrust Help · · Score: -1

    You obviously put the anal in analogy. Maybe you think they shouldn't use Windows in the Typhoon. No wait...

  2. Re:Leadership on Unusual Open Source · · Score: -1

    Surely the person with the most time on their hands, and determination to covey a specific message wins.

  3. Re:Drupal? on Taking the Sting Out of PHP 5 Programming · · Score: -1

    But does it work with PostgreSQL?

  4. Re:Finally! on WINE Still Vulnerable to WMF Exploit · · Score: -1

    That's rather like saying that humans are on par with maggots because they can contract MRSA. Or my hoover caught a STD from the toaster because the both work off the mains.
      -1 Troll please. Thanks.

    It's a perspective and linguistic thing. If you're a communist, capitalism is a political affair. You possibly have a language interpetation error.

    Too bad about the flamebait abomination, it made me laugh. More power to your dissapearing karma.

    Insightful? FFS are all mods still pre pubescent? I'll come back in another 6 months.

  8. Why bother? on Performance of 64-bit vs. 32-bit Windows Dual Core · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My experience, though obviously limited to business applications; is that RedHat
    runs straight out of the box. Everything, the whole kaboodle: printers,
    scanners, cameras, flash sticks. Why even consider Windows, it has missed the proverbial boat.

  9. Re:Unfortunately... on Another Round of HP Layoffs · · Score: 0

    who are willing to give up Linux and Mac compatibility just to lower prices even further

    I've never had any problems with Epson printers on Linux, am I missing out on something?

    I make that 4 undefined subroutines, he's obviously an expert. There's a passage in the bible about planks and eyeballs he should read.

  11. Re:Microsoft Scared of Open Source? on Microsoft Sues EU · · Score: 0

    I wonder what the real underlying reason to all of this legal wrangling is

    Being a European, I've never been able to get my head around the whole lawyer vs. lawyer nonsense, who gains, the lawyers. Who loses, the taxpayers that have pick up the lawyers bills. Just fuck off and die quietly Microsoft the EU no longer needs your shit.

  12. Re:Another question on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 0

    I bet awk and a flat ascii file would have got the same results in 2 minutes. This kind of fantasy scenario result is easy to cook up, but not really using the databases for what they are intended.

    Not really sure what my point is, really,
     
    Usefull comparison. Current exchange rates make these figures a little missleading though, pound is highly overvalued against the dollar.

    Prey tell, how an expert before a programmer? That's like using the toilet before you know where your arse is.

    If you haven't been following the development of XForms, E4X, SVG and XAML then this is a great way to catch up

    You and I differ sir, that just sounds like a whole steaming pile of tax return forms. Putting an X in stuff doesn't make it exciting for me anymore, that's just so 1977.

    That'll be pretty.

  19. Re:Sources anyone? on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 0

    That page does not mention Javascript at all. Some of the mentioned links do but in the same context as tables as being difficult to interpret for the visually impaired. And as you state: many other, non-EU countries are included in this too. So yes, really it is bollocks my friend, jingoistic anti EU bollocks.
