    DMA?

  2. Re:No free acclerated drivers yet but don't give u on Why Aren't More Linux Users Gamers? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now, look! No one is to stone
    anyone until I blow this whistle!

  3. Re:who thinks up these things? on GO3 Electronic Entertainment Expo To Replace E3? · · Score: 1

    Perth is the state capital (of Western Australia)

  4. Re:Motto on Google Opens Sydney Office, Internship Program · · Score: 1

    Um, yes it was. The British were desperate to relieve the pressure on their overcrowded jails. With the loss of the American colonies they needed somewhere else to dump the rubbish.

  5. Re:Mandriva 2006 at home on What Can Mandriva Linux 2006 Mean for Home Users? · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot you insensitive clod. Stop talking sense!

  6. Re:The newspaper is called on Google Faces Wall Street Revolt · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This error crops up again and again in the media. There is no such newspaper as the "Times of London". It's simply "The Times"

  7. Re:Parent's sig on Nokia 770 Internet Tablet Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, over at Kelsey Grammer School...

  8. Re:Salt & Vinegar iPod on Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod · · Score: 1

    No, chips are French fries!

  9. Re:a new movie.. on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Dr Strangelove was a space movie?!

  10. Re:a new movie.. on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Apart from Alien and 2001 shot at Pinewood. The Empire Strikes Back shot at Elstree. All in the UK. Possibly others. Stop talking shite.

  11. Re:Awesome! on Microsoft Virtually Duplicates Your Wireless Card · · Score: 0

    Mmmmmm...Spit roast!

  12. Re:nothing new on Microsoft Virtually Duplicates Your Wireless Card · · Score: 1

    Grow up dude. It's something I've never seen before I found it interesting.

  13. Re:Current time? on Successful Supersonic Jet Launch · · Score: 1

    Concorde also flew at mach 2 so how is this twice as fast? (or are they talking non-stop)?

  14. Re:Caveats on TCP/IP Speakers · · Score: 1

    The person listening to a recording will want to minimize the distortion introduced by his own equipment and hear the music with the best fidelity to the original he can acheive?


    At last, somebody not talking bollox. Well done.
  15. Re:Range? on MasterCard To Distribute RFID Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    No need for any kind of physical button. Just an area on the card that must be touched by a finger (i.e. grip the card between thumb and forefinger at point 'X').

    The sensor would be capacitive, a la Ipod controls. Nothing to wear out. No transaction takes place without the card being held properly.

  16. Re:Upgrading? on Gallery 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I have a Gallery 1 setup, and am trying to upgrade.

    When I choose "Import Gallery 1", it finds my old albums, tells me what it is going to import and then when I click go it says "Importing Photos" with the name of the first album. Nothing happens after that.

    Bugger

  17. Re:bofh! on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 1

    You really should get out more.

  18. Re:Right On on Five Reasons Not to Use Linux · · Score: 1

    Dude, are you foaming at the mouth?!

    I use Xp and Linux all day at work, and also at home. Both are equally stable. No BSODS (in fact, haven't had a BSOD in over 2 years, and that was due to a poorly written wireless USB driver).

    Sure, you get "illegal operations" in XP, but you do realise these are application errors don't you? Nothing to do with the Kernel.

  19. Re:Torrents can be bogus too. on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ummm, yes there is. For instance, VLC media player will play partly downloaded videos.

  20. Re:3... 2... 1... on New PSP Firmware with Built-In Web Browser · · Score: 1

    >>I would gladly run it on my farm, but lack the skills to create it. I really can't see how giving some cows and chickens PC access is going to help us.

  21. Re:Why is the version number apt? on Inkscape 0.42: The Ultimate Answer · · Score: 1

    Maybe they decided on the release number using Bistromathics.

  22. Re:Yes, I am going to hell for this... on Star Trek's Scotty Dies at 85 · · Score: 1

    Pity Google let you down then, it's "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony"

  23. Re:Yes, I am going to hell for this... on Star Trek's Scotty Dies at 85 · · Score: 1

    Is this the five minute argument or the full half hour?

  24. Re:Consumer laptop on New iBooks 'Any Day Now' · · Score: 1

    You have multiple logic board failures?!?!

  25. Re:1999 on yellowTAB's Zeta 1.0 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    2008 called. He was amazed because he just read Slashdot and people were still posting this tired old joke.
