  1. I actually did it on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 1
  2. its been done... on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 1

    check out www.ColdCallComedy.com Some of them are hilarious

  3. Re:great.... on Listening Robot Senses Snipers · · Score: 1

    But only if you don't drive a Hummer

  4. Asking for it for sure. on Listening Robot Senses Snipers · · Score: 2, Funny

    iRobot? These guys are likely to get sued by both Will Smith _and_ Apple.

  5. Re:Nothing inconvenient about the results on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    Having just spent a weekend with Al Gore in Australia as part of a training to deliver the slide show I can tell you that he is far more interesting than he comes across in the movie or in the media.

    In fact his depth and breadth of knowledge on this issue and others is quite astounding...he knows his shir.

    Also once he relaxes a bit he has a great sense of humour...he is quick witted and bloody funny.

  6. but... on Blue Crab Nanosensor to Fight Terrorism · · Score: 3, Funny

    they wouldn't be allowed in airports with those sharp claws would they?

  7. Re:Stupid study on Standby Electronics a Waste? · · Score: 1

    Yes, You are right. Having reread it, instead I have this to say: instead of being patronising and treating her like a victim you can use your brains and understand (as most people here would) that there are times when people need such things as stand-by and remotes...sigh...

  9. Just switch it off on Standby Electronics a Waste? · · Score: 1

    "Sleep mode" is said to make up something like 10% of power bills.

    Or you can do what I do and switch things off.

    My PC, Monitor, powered USB hubs, speakers etc etc etc all run off a power board with an extension switch on the inner side of my desk. When I have shut down the computer I turn off the swutch leaving only the DSL router and answering maching powered up.

    TV and DVD player the same...they get turned off at the power point when not in use.

    An added bonus of all this may come into play when there is a lightning induced power spike.

  10. what next? on Robot Lawyers Solve Problems · · Score: 1

    robot leeches?

  11. turned to dark side? on Linux Trademark Protection In Australia · · Score: 1

    How sad. Is this the same Jeremy Malcom who helped out Joe McNicol when he was being sued by notorious Perth spammer Wayne Mansfield? What happened?

  12. nothing new on ChoicePoint Data Stolen By Imposters · · Score: -1, Troll

    A story where creit info hasn't been stolen...now THAT would be news

  13. Re:It was a dark and stormy night on SF Writers Sting Supposedly Traditional Publisher · · Score: 2, Funny

    shouldn't that be "and the rain fell in bit-torrents..."

  14. You have to read... on SF Writers Sting Supposedly Traditional Publisher · · Score: 1
    chapter 34. Written by software it is beyond insane.

    Apparently William Shatner has already put it to music

  15. Re:Just wait till the apostrophe nazis come on SF Writers Sting Supposedly Traditional Publisher · · Score: 1

    You obviously missed the joke :P

  16. it was always unlikely on U.S. Congress Poised To Vote On Internet Tax Ban · · Score: 3, Funny

    it was obvious, think about it and the possiblility of the US taxing me in Australia is pretty remote - unless they get the RIAA to track me down.

  17. think about it for a moment... on Gates 'World's Most-Spammed Man' · · Score: 1

    How many people really think Bill uses (or even monitors) billgates@microsoft.com or any of the variants e.g. bgates, bill.gates etc. My guess is that would have several email addresses that are given to different people based on how "important" they are. Steve Balmer is probably the only one who knows about billgates@hotmail.com ... DOH!

  18. resistance is futile on Supermarket Loyalty Cards Vs National ID Cards · · Score: 3, Funny

    If anyone thinks that just by not having a supermarket loyalty card they have more privacy, they are kidding themselves. If someone wants to know that on Friday I buy women's underwear and what size I prefer they are welcome to the information....as long as I get a free iPod

  19. if you are opposed to the idea... on Internet Hunting · · Score: 1

    find the URL of the actual website and post it here. /.ing it should save a couple of days worth of animals.

  20. Photo Story 3 is bloody good on Microsoft Just Wants a Little Look · · Score: 1

    I have a legit copy of WinXP - it was given to me by MS after I made a suggestion on how to improve hotmail - the irony is, I now use Gmail and firefox. The point is, having snooped the packet that is sent, I am satisified they aren't poking around in my computer. So I grabbed Photo Story 3, only yesterday. As it happened I was at a pissup last night and with minimal effort made a photo thingy that has resulted in heaps of "shit, that was good, how did you do it". I don't think MS are the good guys, but since I am not suffering from paranoid delusions, I don't think that I have anything to fear from them.

  21. brown nosing on Warez Suspect To Be Extradited, After All · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You can be sure that the current Australian government will do anything the current US government wants.

    Arse lickers

  22. Re:Bad idea. on The Future of Free Weather Data on the Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    How much worse can weather get than when it is raining error 404s?

  23. Re:So..... on Researchers To Climb Ararat To Seek Noah's Ark · · Score: 1

    I think you are confused between Noah's Ark (a boat) and the Ark of the Covenent (a box). Or perhaps they mean Noah's arc welder.

  24. an alternative on Train Your Own Replacement · · Score: 1

    Of course, you could train them badly so they will fuck up all the good work you have done...that is training isn't it?

  25. Re:Forget the spammers... it's the stalkers! on ICANN Cracks Down on Invalid WHOIS Data · · Score: 1

    I'm sure as hell not going to spend the money on that when I'm getting zero benefit on it
    Survival is hardly zero benefit.
