  1. The solution! on Verizon's Aggressive New Spam Filter Causing Problems · · Score: 1

    All you need do is send the mail to:

    user@verizononline.net

    that bypasses the spam check, and user still gets the mail. The version users just need to adjust the 'reply to' address to this foramt for all mails to work.

  2. Vista will be GREAT... on How Vista Disappoints · · Score: 1

    ... for increasing the service packs and 'hotfixes(c)' file size.

    Does vista include a Bittorrent client?

  3. Re:one-man army on Torvalds Creates Patch for Cross-Platform Virus · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not only the 'one' person, but a clean code base that makes a small fix. I expect the others would need a few hundred MB patch and lots of breakage/bundled/undocumented updates to fix it (as normal).

  4. I suppose... on Microsoft 'URL Tracer' Hunts Typosquatters · · Score: 0

    ...when this all goes tits up (as most MS stuff does) we will have BSOG - Blue Screen Of Google.

  5. Re:Port 25? on Microsoft Launches Linux Labs Website · · Score: 1

    Not anymore - you will have to config Linux to use all the MSN clones on port 25 now (stops the spam too)- innovation!

    "Although they will be starting only 280 meters below the summit"

    Might as well find the nearest hill where they live and save all the expense.

  8. Why on earth... on Microsoft Providing Virtual Server Free · · Score: 1

    ...anyway would people want to run GNU/Linux on a MS VS???

  9. Re:More FUD from MS on Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux · · Score: 1

    "If companies are incorporating patented MS technology into their Linux distros, then why should he rule out going after them? "

    Ummm. Name one technology that MS has introduced that is 'copied' into Linux? Name just one? Ummm, errr, ummmm. I can't think of any.

    What he is saying is MS have registered IP (patents) whether they invented them or not. We all know what is wrong with patents.

    So this is pure FUD.

  10. Name change? on SpaceX's Falcon 1 Destroyed During Maiden Voyage · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps they should have called it 'Vista'.

  11. Re:Cancelling = Bad. Delaying = Not so much. on New Budget NASA Space Science Missions · · Score: 1

    Science marches on development. No tests/learning curves/experiment it stagnates. Instead, more money is reserved for wars and such destruction. Space is the only resolve man has left to do something good and keeps technology and improvement working.

  12. Ummm. Bush again. on New Budget NASA Space Science Missions · · Score: 1

    He is scared we will find intelligent life.

  13. Re:KDE? on A Look at GNOME 2.14 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well seeing as the site is Gnone, KDE 3.5.1 still works here...

  14. Not the Roman Empire... on Has World Oil Production Passed Its Peak? · · Score: 1

    "... one of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs." -- Robert Firth

  15. Obvious reason on 20th Century Warmest In 1200 Years · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Its all the big fat 'Murricans farting.

  16. Interesting... on Time Management for System Administrators · · Score: 1

    Apart from the 'nethack and browsing the web', the article sums me up to a tee - I get real 'snappy' with users as I walking somewhere to do fix something with my head about to explode and I get the famous "Ah, Nick! Just a quick problem..."; PUT IT ON THE BLOODY HELPDESK...

    On Monday I am going to get work to buy me this book.

    Thanks!

  17. Re:And since when on Search Engine Privacy Explained · · Score: 1

    Then if that is the complaint, block access from outside USA like Bush did to his site did during the election if you don't want anybody to read it and pass judgment.

  18. And since when on Search Engine Privacy Explained · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "and what Congress is doing with regards to the issue." does Congress have to do with other countries/law?

    This is a international issue, not some John Wayne film.

    Bloody yanks.

  19. Obvious... on Blackworm Dud Highlights Virus Naming Mess · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Why not just call them all 'Microsoft'. Then every week on a Tuesday all the AV people need to do is issue a 'Microsoft' warning - UPDATE now to stop Microsoft.

    Then harry homeowner would do it faultlessly [OK].

  20. Re:"sexual" content on Microsoft Changes Blog Censoring Policies · · Score: 1

    Why would MS promote pedophilia 'spreadable' cheese?

    Unless you misspelt it and meant Cheddar?

  21. Key words on Microsoft Changes Blog Censoring Policies · · Score: 0, Troll

    "complained after a Chinese blogger hosted by Microsoft was censored. "

    I thought the Chinese was damn clever (damn clever these Chinese)? 'Hosted by MS'? doesn't seem clever to me. I mean, the guy is open to all sorts of worms and trojans and Sony root kits.

  23. Humanitarian missionaire like Gates? on Who is Your Hero, Gates or Jobs? · · Score: 1

    OK, lets really _see_ what Gates does for humanity.

    Suppose there are 200,000 computers in the UK health trusts (under estimate). Suppose half of them run MSOffice. Suppose they have deal with the 'pally pally' Bliar & Brown Government and get the licenses for £100.00 a throw (half-price).

    That is £10,000,000 BEFORE anybody gets the money spent on health care (and is paid for by the British people via tax).

    Now lets expand that to worldwide health - how many computers? 20 million? 30 million? Lets say 10 million, at an average of £150.00 a licence.

    £1,500,000,000 paid for BY THE PEOPLE via taxes, health insurance etc. has to be found from the budgets of hospitals etc. before ANY health care is catered for.

    Then he donates 3% of that back (to make himself feel good?) to charities run by Companies his parents have fingers in.

    Yes, great bloke Gates is and MS really do care.
