  1. Dodgy computer guy... on 486 Turns 15 Years Old · · Score: 3, Funny

    15 years old eh? I remember buying my first computer in '92. I was told that it was the state-of-the-arts, brand new, top of the range, 386 system. And now to be told that 486 was around since '89... I knew that I should have trusted my 2nd hand car salesman over that computer guy.

  2. Unfortunate souls... on Providing Access to Info in Developing Countries · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It is difficult for some of us lucky people to comprehend life without the internet as we know it.

    Considering the difficulty of updating the dumped pages (eg: possibility of bad links, etc) and the high costs of hard-drives and shipping costs, I would have thought that it would be more practical to HAVE a satellite connection at the eGranery and have a LARGE proxy-cache (eg: 1TB?).

    Because, by deploying internet to those unfortunate fews using data-dump methods would mean that services that we take for granted (such as email and /.) won't function properly without real-time synchronisation.

    That's my 2-cents worth for the day.

  3. Open Source on McDonald's Germany Moves to SuSE Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    It also makes one wonder, if they are going to move their burger ingredients to "open source" by revealing the contents of the foods...
