  1. Sealand on Vint Cerf on Internet Governance and Beyond · · Score: 1

    Just basing the servers in principalities such as this will cover most of the ground most users want. Anonymity and privacy...

  2. Re:Large caches on Latest SCSI Drive Reviewed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A mother board with an ATA chipset that could plug in older dirt cheap SRAM or even newer DDR or better. Imagine a 4 gig cache of SRAM attached to your harddrives. A machine left on for a while would start to smoke.

    ...and in the event of power failure/child plug socket scenario/accidental powerbutton press/fuse blow/failing psu/nuclear war your install is completely fscked!

  3. VectorLin**no carrier** on VectorLinux 4.3 - Rocket Fueled Slackware · · Score: 1

    VectorLinux, petrol fueled servers. Bleh.

  4. Hooray for AMD! on Intel Scraps Plan For 4 Ghz P4 Chip · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is a pro-competition, anti-monopoly post btw... Micro$oft Monkey Boy sit down and take notes - it's spelled C, O, M, P, E... oh dammit I forgot my spell checker. Better load up Word, or maybe OpenOffice. God competition is confusing....

  5. Re:Quality of write? on Super-Fast Dual-Layer DVD Writing · · Score: 3, Informative

    Using tools such as DVD Decrypter which can verify the disc after burning will help there, I've been using it with much success for the past 9 months...

  6. Do It The Dinosaur Way on Microsoft To Share Office Source Code · · Score: 1

    Microsoft should give it that fat bloke out of Jurassic Park because apparently he can debug a million lines of code while pigging out on coke and shaving cream...

    There may be sarcasm involved in this post

  7. ...and when Win2K is finally dumped by Microsoft.. on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    ...I'll be using Linux permanently - but not before, Win2K r0xx0r5 for me. Hopefully Linux will mature over the next few years enough for people like my mum to be able to use it too. Cheers M$ nice knowing you!

  8. It's A Miracle! on Robot Walks on Water · · Score: 5, Funny

    When it can turn tap water into wine/beer/rum I'll buy one...

  9. Meltdown on World's First Practical Plastic Magnet · · Score: 2, Funny

    One of the most likely applications is in the magnetic coating of computer hard discs, which could lead to a new generation of high-capacity discs The way my disk gets hammered the bloody thing would melt in a minute :o)

  10. Winamp 2.xx..... on Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ...is not affected and us sensible users browse with Mozilla/Opera/NotIE as the default so whats the big deal? Who the fuck uses the crappy bloated recourse hog that is 5.x anyway.... ah Internet Explorer users. Bless their cotton socks.... MORE TOOLBARS AND GATOR APPZ AND SKINZ PLEEZE. Makes life worth living watching an Internet Explorer user suffer!

    Unreal Tournament 1 kicks it's ass *and* it runs on a K6-300 with a Voodoo2 :O)

    -1 Troll :O)

  15. Education is needed on 4 New "Extremely Critical" IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I build boxes for people when I can be bothered and one of the first things I so is to install Mozilla, provide shortcuts on the desktop and Start Menu and tell them "Use Internet Explorer and I won't provide support"... my girlfriends cousin started using IE because he found Iexplore.exe. I mean what the hell, when us techies are confronted by these kind of morons who *hunt* for the damn program what chance do we have? Suffice to say even with ZoneAlarm installed (he said yes to every connection in and outbound) he had a multitude of virii and a billion and a half spyware and toolbars... oh I also installed AVG and AdAware too. Sheesh.

  16. Hope FC3 restores some faith... on Fedora Core 3 Test 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I might just dual boot with Win2K again if Fedora Core 3 proves to be less of a pain in the arse (see FC2 dualboot feature) to install. I was seriously considering FC2 before that bug was discovered, glad I stayed my hand and let others do the testing ;O)

  17. Buford T Justice n family on Mozilla Gains on Internet Explorer · · Score: -1, Troll

  20. Re:Did anyone else notice... on Daleks Exterminated From New Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    Actually the gay daleks were the brainchild of Victor Lewis-Smith who wrote the British TV satire "TV Offal". Information about this brilliant program can be found here, and here

  21. This is the only iTunes manual I need... on iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual, 2nd Edition · · Score: -1, Offtopic
  22. SexBot on A Piece-By-Piece Guide to the Most Advanced Bots · · Score: 1

    Gimme a robot that swallows instead of spits and I'll be happy =O)

  23. Banner Nostalgia on End Run Around Pop-up Blockers · · Score: 1

    Kind of makes you *want* banner ad's doesn't it? Popup and Popunder ad's are the most intrusive and pain-in-the-arse type of advertising ever devised. If the advertising industry needs an alternative then I suggest they revert back to banner and side-bar advertising, as a former webmaster I didn't much care for advertising but knew it was a necessery evil for bandwidth cost's sake...

  24. I think current Linux users... on Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today · · Score: 1

    ...are more than capable of laughing off pro-M$ adverts. Infact I think M$ would be suitably peeved that a pro-Linux site is being funded by Microsoft!
