  1. Re:Impossible? on Tracking Social Networking In Shakespeare Plays · · Score: 1

    yeah ...

    Antony & cleopatra revolves around ....?
    Hamlet revolves around ....?
    Richard 3 revolves around ....?

    Its a geek thing really. Why do something the easy way when you can spend hours and hours creating something else to do it for you.

  2. Re:Car stereos on The Psychology Behind Headphones · · Score: 1

    Sticks and stones :-P

    Just send me your address and I'll ask him to park there instead.

  3. Shane on SCO - EV1, Licensees, Groklaw, Armed Guards · · Score: 4, Funny

    In Darls mind he's Jack Wilson (Jack Palance) saying to the Linux world "Pick up the gun!"

    Where as in reality he's the Iraqi Information Minister saying that the allies are being routed whilst the tanks roll up behind him.

  4. Re:Considering how people flail and pound on butto on Hand-Powered Hardware? · · Score: 1

    Peizo electrics do the convert pressure into current (not very much) thing. :-)

  5. Re:Liv Tyler on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 1

    I'm keeping a screenshot cos no-one will believe it!

  6. Car stereos on The Psychology Behind Headphones · · Score: 1, Funny

    Now if only we could force all in car stereo systems to be headphone only.

    No more will I be woken at 6am by jonny patel parking his Ford Escort outside my house playing bangra at volume 11.

    btw www.advancedmp3players.co.uk has some extremely sexy personal space management kit.

  7. Re:First, there was the Special Edition... on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 1

    OMFG a film of The Silmarillion!

    The very thought fills me with unspeakable horror.

  8. Liv Tyler on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently the special extended edition will contain footage from a camera secreted in Liv Tylers dressing room.

    A full extra disk's worth in fact! :-D

  9. Better than Life on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 0, Troll

    The total immersion viseo game that makes all your fantasy's come true.

    The US win wars (proper ones against proper enemies)
    GWB gets a third term
    What global warming
    Tony Blair is popular
    and everyones a lottery winner every week!

  10. Irony on Freenet Project More Stable, In Need · · Score: 1

    Don't you find it ironic that folks use a platform for free speech and opinions (slashdot) to anonymously criticise another platform for allowing anonymous free speech and opinions.

    Freenet isn't great and it isn't going to be the solution but it's a step in the right direction.

    The demand for anonymous data sharing is growing daily given the best efforts of the RIAA and its international counterparts.

  11. Frank Poole on Space Burial · · Score: 1

    In 3001 they'll go around picking up dead folks in space and reviving them.

  12. Re:That rocks .... on Solaris 10 to be Released Late in 2004 · · Score: 1

    Slow Loris

    Apologies :-D

  13. Further reading on Comic Book Physics · · Score: 1

    Not comic book related but in the same vein.

    The Science of Discworld

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0091865 15 8/026-5266350-7084459

  14. Derivative works on SCOoby Snacks · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think that this snippet from SCO's original purchase agreement with Novell is superb.

    "(b) Buyer shall not, and shall not have the authority to, amend, modify or waive any right under or assign any SVRX License without the prior written consent of Seller. In addition, at Seller's sole discretion and direction, Buyer shall amend, supplement, modify or waive any rights under, or shall assign any rights to, any SVRX License to the extent so directed in any manner or respect by Seller. In the event that Buyer shall fail to take any such action concerning the SVRX Licenses as required herein, Seller shall be authorized, and hereby is granted, the rights to take any action on Buyer's own behalf."

    Basically the original contract says "SCO all your base are belong to us! signed Novell."

    Novell can instruct SCO to amend or invalidate any of their license agreements on demand and if SCO refuses then Novell can go ahead and amend them anyway.

    "Well that just about wraps it up for SCO." -- Gag Halfrunt.

  15. Re:Beavis & Butthead on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 1

    A full musical version of the Simpsons .... mmmm

    You've got me thinking now! :-D

  16. Teehouse of Horror on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The only way it'd work is to do an extended Treehouse of Horror with 10-15 minute vingettes.

    If they tried an extended episode then it'd be soooo full of padding and rehashing that you'd be better off at home with the dvd collection.

  17. The Register on Blackout Cause: Buggy Code · · Score: 1

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/35511.html

    Reported on this hours ago.

    Come on people ... stop slacking! :-)

  18. Re:PCI-X on Own a Piece of An Apple-Based Supercomputer · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can do some good high speed networking using firewire.

    It's available in Mac OS and Linux.

    http://www.homenethelp.com/network/firewire.asp

    400mbps isn't to be sneezed at. With repeaters it'd probably make a decent fail-over network in case the main gigabit link failed.

  19. quality picture of lunokhod on Russian Rovers on the Moon · · Score: 2, Informative

  20. Schumaker on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    Does a Fararri laptop need a Fararri driver to obtain ultimate performance while surfing?

    Is it's battery life comparible fith a fararris fuel consumption?

    Can I just have the Fararri laptop bag? ... Please ...? Pretty Please???? :-D

  21. Battery Life on Integrated Pocket PC, GPS and Laser Range Finder · · Score: 2, Funny

    MMM I wonder how far it is to that rock

    points range finder

    Pocket pc is shutting down ....

    D'Oh!

  22. But will it work in the UK on Curse Your Way to Live Support · · Score: 1

    Presuambly *Transfer me to a human being you wanker of a machine!* won't work.

  23. Re:When did the US turn into such pussies? on Nasa Says 'no' to Hubble Reprieve · · Score: 1

    The extremes of litigation and blame culture.

    Brought to you by the country where fat people sue fast food firms for making them overweight!

    Not really the peoples fault - blame the lawyers.

    Infact pile all the lawyers into the last two shuttles and fire them one-way into space. Then we can get on with free will, personal acceptance of risk and the exploration of the great unknown.

    Not a flame or troll - just an opinion (and I hope I haven't plagarised Bill Hicks too much) :-)

  24. Marketing .... on It's Official -- Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    Nothing like trying to bump up the public awareness of a project in it's gap year.

    I enjoyed the originals (and the updates) and will probably buy this, but the timing is really shameless.

    Phantom Menace and AOTC really sucked big fat hairy balls and IMVHO this is just a marketing ploy to get the Star Wars brand back in the forefront of the publics mind before the release of Episode 3.

  25. Re:Sometimes the truth is astonishingly obvious on Energy Company Refutes Windows TCO Claims · · Score: 1

    It not so much as break backwards compatibility but the slight changes of *features* that don't affect older versions of MSOffice but have undesirable effects in OO or KOffice.

    A nice standard document format exists in rtf. Surely standardised presentation formats or spreadsheet formats are available. (Not an office user so I can't be sure)
