  1. Re:timing on IBM, Intel Set Up $10m SCO Defense Fund · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm refreshing frenetically, waiting for the /. story regarding SCO's 'evidence'. Ah, what a day to be given mod points. It doesn't get much better than this.

    is there a "-1 drunk" modifier?

  5. Re:X2 is a huge improvement on Xandros version 2 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    "not for power users" - out of the box, no... but I started with xandros 1.0, learned a great deal, tweaked everything to my heart's content, and now have a very nice debian based system that just happens to have once been xandros.

  6. YIKES! on China Releases Cyber Dissident · · Score: 0

    My girlfriend and I are applying to spend 6 months in China, teaching English. This sort of thing gives me the heebie jeebies.

    IIS? *runs and hides*

  11. Re:Mixed-up order? on New Hitchhiker's Guide Radio Series Announced · · Score: 0

    you jest, surely? The magician's nephew quite clearly goes before the lion the witch and the wardrobe.

  12. Re:good... on Killing Cancer With a Virus · · Score: 0

    this is darwinian selection - the prudes and the puritans die off... fantastic!

  13. Re:Stop inviting the government everywhere on Group Asks Gov't to Crack Down on Product Placement · · Score: 0

    The BBC is making a new series of Doctor Who. I rest my case.

  14. Re:Europe To The Moon? on Ion Engine Propels Probe to Moon · · Score: 0

    does anyone have a spare "-1 jingoist nonsense" to apply?

  15. hmmmm on ISPs Experiment With Broadband Download Capping · · Score: 0

    "a subjective limit of 'more than the average user.' "

    ok, so If you download more than average (I'm assuming average == mean) you are capped at the average....

    This then obviously reduces the average.

    This then promotes a whole load of previously 'average' users to above average.

    repeated enough times, this results in the cap being at the usage level of the lightest of users.

  20. Re:Random chance in the gaps on Current Thoughts in String Theory · · Score: 1

    "billions and billions of universes are needed for ours to exist by random chance"

    What utter pish! Take for example, the first draw ever of the national lottery... the person who won that didn't have to buy 13 million (or whatever the figure is) tickets, he/she just won first time.

    Same with rolling a die, there's a 1 in 6 chance of getting a '3', but that can happen the first time you roll it.
