  1. Re:Potential for Netbooks on Web-based IDEs Edge Closer To the Mainstream · · Score: 1

    I've tried it - it's horribly slow. How about VNC or NX - I use NX, love it! Apart from a bit of compression, it's easy to forget I'm NOT on my home system

  2. Re:Silly. on PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    It's because they're crypto-carnivores. No more, no less. The need to take soy protein and make it look like a bloody sausage is just ridiculous. That's enculturation for you. I'd be interested to hear from someone who grew up in an environment where meat WASN'T pushed upon them.

  3. Re:The obvious downside... on The Downide of Your ISP Turning to Gmail · · Score: 1

    Funny, maybe it's just my eyes, but I'm sure I can see a big NineMSN logo above the APC one. Do you really think the editors are given that much leash? The linux cover discs are just to distract you from their real agenda. For example, of all the PC mags in OZ, APC sure did bleat the loudest and longest about VISTA!

  4. 800Mb - On a 3GB ram system on How Much Virtual Memory is Enough? · · Score: 1

    Windows just wouldn't stop swapping out shit that I had been using two minutes ago - so I gave it bugger all to run with. I figure 3.8GB of address space is enogh for now. Screw giving it more. I would turn it off, but PS bitches about lack of a swap file.

  5. The grateful dead. on RIAA Wants to Depose Dead Defendant's Children · · Score: 1

    Lawyers all need to be chemically castrated. Save the children, etc.

  6. How about... on Affordable Laser Printers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... 1000 monkeys. Taking dictation from pirates. Who are working for ninjas.

  7. I thought I was on Digg for a second.. on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 1

    Are the submitters just trawling digg now? Seems the home pages are getting pretty FUCKING similar - with digg running about 6 hours ahead?

  8. EV Nova on Games That Keep You Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    I know - Mac niche game, however - I've been playing this sucker for AGES.

  9. Wiki-style Open Dictionaries? on A Spell-Checker for Scientific Terms? · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a good case for a site with user contributions added to genre specific dictionaries - eg: Biology, medical, IT - pretty much any field with a very specific syntax could benefit...

  10. Re:Funding.... on When Think Tanks Attack · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    RTFA! Hah - didn't even finish reading the story, idiot!

  11. Funding.... on When Think Tanks Attack · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They have to get their funding from somewhere... and I think that the large majority of it isn't coming from Open Source. That kind of lobbying costs money you know!

  12. Yeah, but... on Mobile Phone for the Blind · · Score: 1

    Will it sound like Stephen Hawkings?
    "Hey, how did my phone figure out how to escape an event horizon?"
