  1. Of course... on Britons Unconvinced on Evolution · · Score: 1

    In scotland we peer across the border and are totally convinced we have evolved. Sassenachs. :)

  2. Stream me, stream me on Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? · · Score: 1

    Great, all we *really* need is an ultra slick, ultra fast shiny new OS that allows us to be spoonfed more crap. We don't need reliabilty, a plethora of tools and applications or extensive API. No, no, no if they can stream us more channels then we're really cooking. Complete mince.

  3. FUDisability on Open Source In Public Sector Meeting Opposition · · Score: 1

    Apparently Open Document formats are going to pose a threat to those with disabilities. (See the Massachusetts article...) That's right- Open Source is going to kick you out of your wheelchair!

  4. No, of course they'll contest it... on China Releases 2nd generation MIPS Chip · · Score: 1

    and without doubt China will care. Oh no, wait a minute. HA HA HA HA HA! As if they'll give a ....

  5. Aliens on mobile phones? on SETI Disrupted By Cell Phones in Airplanes? · · Score: 1

    It is a ruse- the Alpha Centaurians are using Nokias to cover up the signals from space. I'm not scared though- I've made a hat from tin foil!!

  6. the Cell processor on Linux For Cell Processor Workstation · · Score: 1

    sounds good, very fast and so on, but I still love the z80a.

  7. with April fools on EU to Ban Macs · · Score: 1

    ...jokes you have to do them prior to 12 (Midday) otherwise it is bad luck.

  8. so on 1994 BSD/Unix Settlement Released On Groklaw · · Score: 1

    why didn't you just, as they say your side of the Atlantic "get a gat and smoke them"?

  9. yuppie shoppers on ZAP Smart Car Approved for Sale in the US · · Score: 1

    it's just a yuppy shopping trolley. Won't solve congestion, it'll just mean more people in smaller cars. Walk. Cycle. Get the bus. Rollerskate.

  10. Not the first on Microgenerators Coming Soon to Electronics Near You · · Score: 1

    university of Birminghmam, England did this previously.

  11. PBX just keeps going on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 1

    I worked as a tester on a leading manufacturers VoIP product a few years back. (2000-2001). At that point, everyone was very much VoIP will kill pbx. However, it became apparent to me that VoIP suffers from 2 things: 1. Traditional comms guys don't trust it all that much. 2. IS/IT/Comms won't trust it because if it is doing a combined job, like some of the SoHo VoIP switches available, if the thing goes down your office is at a standstill. The technology is however, basically good.

  12. Just another FAT example on On Moving Toward Software Rentals · · Score: 1

    of greed- they can't SELL it any more so they'll RENT it. This is reminiscent of CRM and the move to locking down mdeia files to a particular player. GREED. How much cash do the big boys want?

  13. Maybe they should keep this quiet on Man Stalks Ex-girlfriend With GPS · · Score: 1

    Isn't there the risk reporting on this kind of thing that every no-hoper creepy b*****d with some tech savvy will go- "Oh look, now I can be both Cape Fear AND James Bond at the same time." Copy cats will follow.

  14. Re:I hate nazis on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1

    Very good. A) I'm not American so you're reference is meaningless. B) you're a tadger.

  15. I hate nazis on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 2, Insightful

    freedom os speech yes, thought polluting bile no.

  16. blackberries on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    Is it excusively blackberries they want you to pay for, or do they want you to buy raspberries, kumquats, lychees and other fruit as well? If so, tell them to stick it.

  17. Ahem- John Logie Baird? on College Freshman Builds Fusion Reactor · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure John Logie Baird invented the television.

  18. TRIPS on Four Core Processor to Bring Tera Ops · · Score: 1

    Big Blue has gone all Hunter S Thomson then...

  19. You can read old .doc files with Kwrite on Online Document Search Reveals Secrets · · Score: 1

    The ability to read deleted/old info is not new to me. Recently my girflriend was updating her Curriculum Vitae. It had been edited on several versions of Word,on a 3.5 floppy. When we opened it in OpenOffice, we got the last version she had edited. Then she reopened it in Kwrite, and we saw there an entirely different document- in fact, the same CV, but from a whole year prior to the last version. Maybe other people have noticed you can do this?
