  1. Re:Dual P4 = Back to the old days? on Preview of Intel's Dual-Core Extreme Edition · · Score: 1

    Won't one core handle the operating system and the other core handle the game? So there would be a speed-up.

  2. Re:another embrace and extend on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Uhm, the HTML standard says that you can define your own rel= types

  3. Re:Not seeing this... on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    it depends on what you search for. Google only offer this if they're reasonably sure that the first result is the one you want. Try searching for stanford.

  4. Re:Future viability in question? on Gnome 2.10 Released · · Score: 1

    Not quite, FF and epiphany both use gecko as the back end. Epiphany however requires (well on 2.8) mozilla to be installed too. Epiphany just felt 'lesser' than firefox to me for some reason. Thankfully Ubuntu replaces it with FF

  5. Re:Reprivatisation? on British Rail Moving Forward with Sat-Nav/GPS · · Score: 1

    that should obviously read renationalisation. whoops.

  6. Reprivatisation? on British Rail Moving Forward with Sat-Nav/GPS · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    When did this happen? Back to socialist railway \o/ All of a sudden i'm looking forward to travelling next weekend.

  7. Re:It's got potential on Build Your Own MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I just setup my devices directional buttons for skip, back, play/pause and volume. It's still a PITA to use, but it's far easier than the stylus.

  8. Re:oh god, the language! on Google Suggest Dissected · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I agree, using apostrophes in inappropriate places are my bug bear - like people who write "get's" (get is), it makes it really annoying to read.

  9. Italy's press on Press freedom · · Score: 1

    Italys rating is probably because half the media in the country is owned by their Prime Minister.

  10. Competitors on Yahoo Shuts Down Their PayPal Competitor · · Score: 3, Informative

    Worldpay is not really a competitor to the main paypal market, since iirc it costs GBP100ish (USD 180) a significant amount (to an average part time ebay seller) to set up, plus an annual yearly fee, plus they take so much per transaction. Nochex is a competitor, but it was limited to UK customers only last time I checked it out.

  11. Re:Don't you love corporate thinking? on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 1

    uhm, i'd suggest that they understand the public better than you...johnny Q Consumer see's 1gig email storage vs 2 gig and which is he more likely to go for?

    it's like some kind of dick measuring contest.....who has the biggest mail quota.

  12. Re:Stupid comparison on The "Return" of Java Discussed · · Score: 1

    obviously that doesn't take into account microsoft branding everything as .net

  13. Re:About the soundtrack... on GTA San Andreas Dripfeeds More Info To Eager Public · · Score: 1

    trust me..nwa's lyrics will fit right in with gta gameplay

  14. Re:Forward to Steve on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    i think maybe the xda 2 does what you want......and if not then the new ipaq does. I'm not sure on the specifics of connecting to .mac though, they can sync with your computer and access the net...

  15. Re:cover all yer bases on What Do You Think of Online Vigilantes? · · Score: 1

    so "he's" just screwing with us? sat up there on a little crowd laughing his tits off?

  16. Re:Combat shmombat on Star Wars Galaxies Users Restless Over Rebalancing · · Score: 1

    works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.6.1+ StumbleUpon/1.81

  17. Re:Combat shmombat on Star Wars Galaxies Users Restless Over Rebalancing · · Score: 1

    both it and the base dns works for me..

  18. Re:Skewed much? on EC Approves Unconditionally Sony-BMG Merger · · Score: 1

    no, you can't guarantee that at all. your entire post is just conjecture.

  19. Re:Skewed much? on EC Approves Unconditionally Sony-BMG Merger · · Score: 1

    something to do with the difference between 95%ish market share and 46% ?

  20. Re:Combat shmombat on Star Wars Galaxies Users Restless Over Rebalancing · · Score: 1

    well yeah, but instead of spending your time running around pointlessly shooting womp rats et al, there's more fun (to me anyway), ways to play.. e.g. on the 'chimera' server, there's the Mos Entha RolePlaying Community

  21. Re:Open and shut, IMO on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: 1
    You can also lose the right to protect your trademark if you allow a company to use your trademark without suing (unless of course they are licensed to use it. For example, if Kleenex allowed Scott to call their tissues Scott Brand Kleenex they could not sue Puffs if they starting using it

    yeah..that's the same as the uk, except it doesn't have to be another company afaik.

  22. Re:Open and shut, IMO on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: 2, Informative

    in the UKK, if your trademark falls into common usage, then it's no longer yours.

  23. Re:The numbers don't add up on Forget the PDA, Here Comes the TDA · · Score: 1

    it has less of a need for a backlight due to the touch screen layer being thinner...

  24. Re:This is great because it's Google on New Google Groups in Beta · · Score: 1

    write whatever comes to mind... it'll probably get moaned at for being rubbish and clogging up internet search anyway

  25. Re:This stuff is useful, look for yourself! on RIAA Dumps Unsold Inventory to Settle Anti-Trust Case · · Score: 1

    hmm i think ghost and raekwon are far better personally. out of meths' league. course nothing beats 36 chambers
