  2. Re:Not really a record or something.... on Secondary Exam Results In India Mean An SMS Flood · · Score: 1

    Did somebody of you guys ever bothered to think of the ammount of traffic that passes through an IRC network of 80K+ users?
    That's for sure orders above the SMS traffic.

    So why is this so interesting?

  3. Re:obligatory space balls quote on SETI@home Turns Five Today · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just to mention that the number of users involved is 5 000 000.

    Strange coincidence in the number five.

  5. Medecine instructions and side effects: on Silly Product Instructions? · · Score: 0

    Once I bought a medecine _against pain_. The name was "Spidifen". The VERY long list of side effects contained: Gastro-intestinal pain, hemoragie (internal bleeding) and HEADACHE!! Actually the side effects list was so long, I never took a single pill.

  9. Re:Wow on Leaked Memo Says Microsoft Raised $86 million for SCO · · Score: 0, Troll

    Russia didn't attack western Europe, they pushed Hitler to do this and came as the "liberators" in Berlin..

    This is all wel known trick, people with narrow view tend not to pay attention to.

  10. how about linux? on EU Rejects Microsoft Settlement Proposal · · Score: 1

    Microsoft could bundle linux on their CD's too.
    This way nobody would ever suit them again.

  11. Re:Writing better? on Kids Improve Writing Online · · Score: 1
    Well, the most frustrating error is to write "there" instead of "their".

    How do you call it? Grammar or phonetic error? It might certainly be due to what they hear or think of having heard.

    English is my fifth languare and still I speak it better than some native speakers hohoho.

  12. Re:One thing you may try... on Throttle Apache Bandwidth Based on IP Address? · · Score: 1

    There are ISP's who give a single user an access to up to 255 ip addresses at a time. Every new connection initiated by the client goes through a different ip (kind of Round Robin).

    This is of course the direct impact of the lack of ip's and the inteligence of the ISP's admins. Let's hope ipv6 comes soon.

  13. All your base ... on DNS Root Servers Outside US Surpass Those Inside · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... are resolved to us.

  14. it does have problems on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft · · Score: 1

    I use Debian for one year already. It is so easy to use it.. I will never change it. However, there are several 'stability' problems. The stable KDE is 2.2.2, so if you want to use a newer version of kde, you should make combinations between stable and unstable. This implies installing new libraries, that are rather untested and make problems. For instance I have lots of problems with libc6, because I have managed to combine stable and unstable.

    You always have to choose between stability and 'features'. This is why debian is much stable for server applications which may be a bit more older, but definitely more reliable.

  15. software and not hardware.. on Bill Gates Forecasts Victory Over Spam · · Score: 1, Insightful
    "In a world of "seamless computing" everything would be digital, flexible and personalised, and driven by software not hardware."

    That is why Microsoft is only PC and Mac compatible.
    Who should we be laughing at in a decade?

  16. SCO software on Spirit Sends Debug Information to Earth · · Score: 0

    They sure have SCO software aboard.

  17. Copyright vs. Intelectual Property on The Tyranny of Copyright? · · Score: 0

    There is a sharp difference between Copyright and Intelectual Property people should learn to know about.

  20. thoughts privacy / spyware on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 1
    What if I have an accident, I go to a hospital and they implant this thing in my head without my knowlende? They would be able to know important things I wouldn't want to share with somebody.

    What if we start implanting those chips into the heads of accused murderers? Will we be able to get the truth?

    It could be quite a spyware in my opinion.
