  1. Land of the free... on How a Computer Case Is Built · · Score: 1

    "The employees can come and go from the campus when they are not working to shop and explore the local community."

    That's a little to liberal for my liking ;)

    Like David Stellmack (author), I've only ventured overseas once, though it was to Singapore. Same smiling-faces phenomenon. I asked a girl at a school we were visiting why everyone smiled, and she said they'd been told to!

  2. Lexmark good, Lexmark bad... on U.S. Court: Lexmark Can Tie Rebates To Refills · · Score: 2, Funny

    I came from the Inquirer to this /. debate tonight...

    What a nice company Lexmark is!

  3. Re:Don't think so. on Hitchhiker's Guide Movie Greenlighted · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with both of you. Seeing footage of UFOs, hanging in the air rather like bricks don't, is not likely to be quite so funny. Maybe narration is the answer? I guess we might have to say adieu to the funnier bits :(

  4. Re:Its not suprising on Australian Spam Bill Not So Good After All? · · Score: 1

    I think the only entity challenging M$ for the dollar-sign is Gate$ himself...

    The angst against Telstra is probably due to being Australian; though what that has to do with spam, I don't know. Telstra entered New Zealand's newly deregulated market a few years ago, and has proved to be TelecomNZ's only real competition. They have built a superior fibre-optic network in Wellington and Christchurch, and continue to challenge Telecom's monopolistic practices here.

    I'd be interested to know if TelecomNZ's acquisition of AAPT in Australia has resulted in any similar price-relief for Australian Telco-consumers... Telstra offers spam and virus protection to New Zealanders connected to their ISPs, for what that's worth. More importantly they offer much lower phone rental pricing to those lucky enough to live in the cities where Telstra owns a network.

  5. Quentin Tarantino on M$ on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1
    Jules: Come on Yolanda! What's Windows like?

    Yolanda: Unstable?

    Jules: What?! No, what do they CLAIM it is?

    Yolanda: Co..Cool?

    Jules:Correctamundo! And that's what we're gonna be - We're gonna be cool.

    I can't see it...

  6. Re:Yet.. on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1

    M$ - that's not cool :( Thanks for the link! I'm going back to Opera right now!

  7. get it? Word... Word? on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1

    no one? what about you young man? Word... (laugh damn you!)

  8. MS in The Simpsons on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1

    BillG looked pretty fly shooting bodyguards out of his fingers!!

  9. Re:Yet.. on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1

    speaking of which... there's a new critical update for IE6 if you haven't got it yet...

  10. wassup?? on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1, Funny

    they're already cool... Word

  11. Evidently... on Benjamin Franklin, Civic Scientist · · Score: 1

    ... fear was not a factor for Ben ;)
    Out of interest, the venerable man himself premiered on New Zealand television tonight, in the 100th episode of Southpark... coincidence?

  12. Moan all you like!! on How to Kill Spam Without the State · · Score: 0

    I'll be laughing at you all when my money's in the bank, and I can finally afford a big penis!

  13. We can stop it ourselves... on How to Kill Spam Without the State · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here in New Zealand we just post spammers personal details in major newspapers... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_811235.html?m enu= Followed up with threats and obscene phone-calls, this is an effective tactic. There are now up to 100 million less spamails per day.

  14. Lets jump to conclusions!! on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    Before we do though, why were Valve using the preview pane in Outlook - really smart... Who has motive to leak the code? In the absence of leads shouldn't we be making rash assumptions and assigning blame? Obviously nVidia stole the code to give them time to work on their dx9 drivers. This will also make the purchase of ATI's 9800XT with HL2 voucher more of a term deposit graphics solution...
