  1. Running on Windows on Mozilla .6 Released · · Score: 3

    I know no-one here admits to running Windows...

    I've just installed this on my NT machine - it installed first time without problems, and seems to work pretty good on the whole. Not had time to do much real testing, but i'm impressed so far. It copes with /., Blink, Microsoft.com and MSN.com (just to add it to their logs ;).

    Quicker than i'd been lead to expect too - i can't say as i can tell much difference in speed from IE 5.5.

    (-1: Admitting to running Windows)

  2. Re:Support Wisdom on The "Glory" Of Tech Support · · Score: 1

    I guess that must be a worldwide problem. We get exactly the same with BT over here.

  3. Selective info on WHO Bid To Regulate Health Sites · · Score: 1

    Would this be the same World Health Organisation that was accused by New Scientist of supressin g information on cannabis?

  4. Re:and in related news, pirate detector vans on Can the BSA Investigate Your office for Piracy? · · Score: 1

    The man didn't have the right van.

  5. To paraphrase Bill Hicks... on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 2

    A Fundamentalist Christian, who beleives that the Bible is the exact word of God - including that wacky fire-and-brimstone Revelations ending - has his finger on the fucking button.

  6. Re:Am I the only one... on Dinosaurs Never Held Heads High · · Score: 1

    But these dinosaurs were willing to stick their necks out.

  7. Re:Bizarre contests. on Sending Pumpkins Where No Gourd Has Gone Before · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you're accusing me of being American. I'm afraid i'm English.

    The closest we get to that is rugby - 500 pound guys singing pile on top of each other for ten seconds, get in a circle touching each other's buttocks, then urinate in the showers.

  8. Re:Bizarre contests. on Sending Pumpkins Where No Gourd Has Gone Before · · Score: 1

    It's also the main reason that the Earth has been shunned by the rest of the universe.

  9. Re:Abuse the Lusers on TypoSquating == CyberSquating · · Score: 1

    You're not a grey fox. You're a small white Dogbert.

    Cricket.

  11. Re:So... on Reports Of Google's Demise Exaggerated · · Score: 2

    In fact, if we keep on mentioning Liv Tyler nude, this page should then rank higher than the 'scams' for the search "Liv Tyler nude". Perhaps with some real effort here we could make Slashdot.org the top ranking hit on Google for Liv Tyler nude, so that anyone looking for Liv Tyler nude would come here instead of a site that claims to feature Liv Tyler nude?

  12. Re:Corel? Corel?? on Mozilla-KDE Integration · · Score: 2

    I know how they can do that. I had an email about it the other day. All they need to do is send $20 to this bloke, and he'll send them these 'business reports' that they can then sell themselves for as much as they like to loads of people. They can make $$$! Earn $100,000 a month or more!

    It's not illegal, either, the bloke said, and it's not one of these pyramid schemes.

    Then exabyte, i think.

    A webcam in your pants! Live sweaty genitals!

    Ur. Perhaps not.

  15. Re:First! on SGI Releases Open Inventor As Open Source · · Score: 2

    Keep an eye on the older stuff page - the stuff that doesn't make it to the front page sometimes has no comments for several seconds!

  16. Get a full transfusion on Blood Type: NULL · · Score: 2

    Get a full transfusion, then when you get a cut, you'll bleed milky white, and everyone'll think you're a robot!

  17. Could have saved them a lot of time on Techno Jacket · · Score: 2

    Three years of intensive research? All they needed was a Gore-Tex jacket, a Nokia phone, a Palm Pilot, a Diamond Rio, and a roll of gaffa tape.

  18. An Anorak's Anorak! on Techno Jacket · · Score: 2

    Damn. Blew my one-liner in the subject field. Nothing left to say.

  19. Dangerous on Techno Jacket · · Score: 4

    There's some areas people are mugged for their old trainers.

    I think i'd worry about walking round in a jacket that everyone knows has £600 worth of electronic stuff sewn into it.

  20. Check C|Net Tomorrow on IBM Develops Quantum Computer · · Score: 2

    What's the betting that there'll be a story on C|Net tomorrow where some IBM research guy claims that they're considering porting Linux to this thing "just to see how small it can scale down"?

  21. Re:The Answer is Easy on Physics Problems For The New Age · · Score: 5

    'Can we quantitatively understand quark and gluon confinement in quantum chromodynamics and the existence of a mass gap?'

    Where can I buy clothing from Gap?

    er, not quite what i had in mind, thanks, Jeeves.

    I think i'd sack my butler if he was making money on the side selling crappy products whilst working for me.

    The chameleon has got itself a sledgehammer? Is this the violent chameleon from the Bud ads?

    No, wait, that's a Compaq Armada...

  24. Lego Languages on Lego + Linux HOWTO · · Score: 3

    C: The bricks fit together quickly, as long as you put them in place carefully, but push too hard in the wrong direction and the whole structure will spring apart.

    Perl: You have over 43,000 different bricks, though most of them seem to do the same thing. The model is built quickly, but seems to have used a lot more bricks than you expected.

    Java: The bricks can also be used with Duplo and Meccano. However, they operate so slowly that you go for a coffee instead.

    Come on, someone who actually knows what they're talking about continue/correct me...

  25. Predictions on IBM Develops Quantum Computer · · Score: 5

    PigPog's Law: The number of atoms in a quantum computer will double every 18 months.

    PigPig Gates says: We'll never need more than 640 protons.

    PigPog's Uncertainty Principle: We may know where the computer is or which direction it just blew off the table, but never both at the same time.
