  1. Re:should read "Alternatives to..." on Redmondmag on Dumping IE · · Score: 1

    There is a simple trick to this problem.

    Visit page
    if (mis-rendered) {
    GoBack();
    GoForward();
    }
    Read(this->Page);

    I've yet to have the trick fail on Firefox 1.0PR/Win32

    You would have a valid point if this was a release candidate, but its not its a BETA, its not even claiming to be of release quality.

    Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is ethical.

  7. Re:Fantasy vs SF on Is Science Fiction About The Future Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Overall, I think SF has run out of ideas.

    Quick everyone we just found Rick Berman's first post to slashdot!

  8. Re:Environmentally friendly? on Batteries For Your Pen And Paper? · · Score: 1

    This is a solution to please all the tree hugging hippies who are too stoned to actually know what really goes on in the world.

    It is quite clear that we are in a throw away society if something breaks we throw it out and get something newer and more sparkley.

    Which takes me to my tree hugger mode and I have to ask, which is easier to recycle, small pieces of paper and biros, or all this tech?
    At the end of the day which is the more eco-friendly solution? The paper or the tech?

    I'm not a tree hugger or eco minded so I'll leave it to the reader to go and find out.

  12. Re:How long... on UK ISPs to Shut Down Spamvertised Websites · · Score: 1

    I've had one of my e-mail addresses joe job'd before now, its not fun or pleasent.
    Aside from the torrent of spam it caught, it was now getting undeliverable errors and abusive messages from people I'd never heard of.

    None of this happened before tiscali assimilated my previous isp however ...

    On the plus side, I now have a pop3 mail box with ~100 spams a day, since everyone who knows me knows not to use the address anymore, so my filters get trained on pure spam.
    Its the only reason I keep the address around really.

  13. Re:Can I get these in "Beer Goggles" mode? on Need A New Retina? Look No Further · · Score: 1

    Indeed, I, for one, would much prefer the anti-beer goggles mod so that no matter how drunk I am, people still look the same, in focus and haven't spontaniously developed a clone.

    Now if only I could get a hearing aid which stopped boring people from being interesting while drunk too...

    It would appear from TFA that 3G is also being included in the statistics, which would explain the increase in usage. After all if you could get the footie and pr0n in fully colour on your mobile you would.

    What confuses me about the new dvla system is just that. Its new. Did they only just computerise the tax^H^H^HVehical Duty system or did it take them 20 years to develop the sql statement "SELECT * FROM CARS WHERE VED_PAID = 0"

    What still narks me about VED is i still have to pay it if my car was made in the UK.
    Maybe i'll take a day to Abertae and burn some buildings.

    Yes I know this rules out the Itanic users but I don't believe any of the above (aside from NetBSD) runs on Itanics either.

  22. Re:Compete with Celeron? on AMD Releases Sempron Earlier Than Expected · · Score: 1

    Yes, but apart from the newer durons, most (all?) Durons ran at a FSB of 100Mhz, with the later running at 133.
    The Sempron moves away from that old slow FSB and allows easier integration with DDR and newer motherboards.

    In short, AMD isn't just phasing out the Duron, they are phasing out SDRAM and sub 333FSB requirements for motherboards.

    How you act on those thoughts, feelings and memories. If a sufficently advanced AI could look at them and decide what it would do given past outcomes it doesn't mean it would take the same action as ourselves, the AI may be able to better judge the situation than ourselves. We've all had those 'What if' moments ... what if I didn't drop out of uni/college, what if i didn't have that last pint before getting into the car, what if i checked the post anonymously box .. etc Well what if our AI personality thought '$DIETY i was a tw@, I'll not do that again.', where as we would take the chance again because it was fun last time. Our experiences don't make us who we are, what we do with them does.
