  1. Re:Spelling Error... on Fox News Considered Suing Fox's "The Simpsons" · · Score: 1

    Hold on..
    So we are now forbidden to write anything thats ever been used before?

    Thats really going to screw up a lot of society.

  2. Re:Just In Time inventory on Software Error Causes Crisis in Mississippi · · Score: 1

    What next, crack supply problems lead to "crisis".

    Boo hoo if these drug peddlars go out of business, lives are ruined and ended by addiction to alcohol.

  3. Re:Not Entirely True on Verisign Plans to Revive SiteFinder Advertising 'Service' · · Score: 1

    I use it for windows update too.

    Very occasionally for badly behaved websites though now I tend to just ignore them as "broken" which is what they are.

    I used to fall back on IE but more and more I discovered if the site doesnt work then its probably fucked in other browsers too.

    I would like to hunt some of these "web designers" for sport.

  4. Re:It has to be asked... (ESC key) on Three New Releases (And Other News) From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    I miss that too.
    It should stop any playing flash animations too :-)

    Not that my (0.6x)FB can play flash, apparently some bug but it has its plus points too :-D

  5. Re:Firebird Themes (or lack of...) on Three New Releases (And Other News) From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Yes the theme format changed recently. I wasn't happy either since I also use luna blue.
    Apparently it was going to be fixed for the 0.7 release so any day now hopefully.

    qute sux :-(

  6. Re:Linux and spaceships on China Sends First Taikonaut To Space · · Score: 1

    So....
    I don't get your point. Because they are Evil(tm) we should pretend their space programme sucks?

    The current US regime sucks but I rather like slashdot and am not afraid to say... Go Slashdot!

  7. Re:See Jane run, run Jane run. on Mars Sundials - True Colors, Ambiguous Hours · · Score: 1
    In reading I also found that unlike the slashdot description claims it only says "two worlds, one sun" in english.

    Each sundial is inscribed with the words "Two Worlds, One Sun" and bears the name "Mars" in 17 languages, including Bengali, Inuktituk, Lingala and Malay-Indonesian, as well as ancient Sumerian and Mayan.


    So its only got "mars" in 17 languages.

    they look cute but...
    If anyone really thinks some martians or aliens in general might read it surely they could have put more useful information on it than some sickly sweet rambling and childrens pictures.

    Something like a rosetta stone....

  9. Re:Nitpick on Do Not Call Site Has AT&T Stats Tracker? · · Score: 1

    I used lynx yesterday and I am a full on graphical browser guy.
    I normally use links when I am in a console window but it wasnt installed.

  10. Re:Dissidents? on Fracturing P2P Networks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Your example is flawed, many of the people in Guantanemo where taken there after fighting a war in their own country.

    In your example that would be like Germany entering France, taking some of the resistance and executing them. They were the bad guys remember.

    But I suppose you didn't want to draw that parallel eh.

    p.s
    Britain is not your ally, Tony Blair is:-)

  11. Re:I will be the first, but certainly not last to on Dual Layer DVD+R Developed · · Score: 1

    Its a good idea to sometimes quote the AC you are replying too, or you will look totally crazy to anyone surfing with a threshold of 1+ :-)

  12. Re:Well gee on Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If that's the killer niche app for the opteron, I feel sorry for AMD!...

    A game about killing people from the US army, if that isn't a killer app I don't know what is ;-)

    interesting comment, thanks.
    I dont get mod points anymore so this will have to do :-)

  15. Re:X server architecture on Proxy Servers Lighten Up X · · Score: 1

    Thankyou for taking the time to explain all that to me, I found it interesting and informative.

  16. Re:Basic economics on Computers, Unemployment and Wealth Creation · · Score: 1

    Even after the "famine is practically unheard of in capitalist countries?" bollocks?
    Or is she (he?) a troll hero?

    The bubbles annoy me, NineNine for example you have one green capsule and one green/red capsule. Yeah thats really helpful..

    Awesome web designer?
    Sorry I looked at her portfolio and she is not awesome.

    I almost wonder if she designed some of them as parodies of terrible web sites.

    Did you say LOL out loud when you heard that? ;)

  19. Re:I hope so! on Sobig Worm Attacking RBL Lists? · · Score: 1

    When theyve got rid of the RBLs, they will come after your bayesian filters next.
    Viruses that target mail clients with antispam features for example.

  20. Re:people aren't taking this too seriously on Major Problems with Cingular Network · · Score: 1

    My settings give a -5 to funny posts.
    I do miss the odd gem i'm sad to say but 99% are "in soviet russia" or whatever the latest meme is that sheep think will be funny to repeat.

  21. Re:Their Network on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Trillian is hardly independant, it relies totally on the networks it is allowed to use them.
    Without them what would be left - an IRC app?

  22. Re:Their Network on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Not in England. The roads are open to all, as long as you follow the highway code. There's no nonsense about people using "unofficial cars".

    So what is road tax... you cant even legally park your car in your own street without it... and the congestion charging zone in london?
    Sorry but you are really wrong, either you are not from England or you really didn't think your examples through.
  23. Re:Their Network on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Search google for jabber, its not p2p but its more decentralised (it works quite like email).

  24. Re:Their Network on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1

    True, my sister in law insisted we start using yahoo because its "better" (not sure why, maybe the webcam support). Ironically we were allready using MSN messenger - again because thats what she used.

    I'd switch to jabber but it doesnt have sound, video(*) and account registration is more complex than other IM networks.

    (*) I know there are other apps that do this but for the average user they prefer one app to do it all.
