  1. Re:great on David Tennant Cast as New Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    So what? He was good in Cassanova and I'm sure he'll make a good Doctor Who. I can't think of any Doctors who were especially famous before being timelords!

  2. Nevermind it not being a new feature on Google Search By Number · · Score: 1

    It's not so bad that its not a new feature but its certainly not even a new stroy. I guess people really do just monitor the google blog XML feed and just submit a story everytime there is a new post. The same could also be said about The Register as well.

  3. Re:Overpriced on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would like to know where you can get a $20 router with:
    1. Up to 108Mbps* 802.11g Wireless Connectivity.
    2. 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports.
    Yes, it is overpriced but have you even read TFA?

  4. Link to reviews & a competition on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 4, Informative
  5. Yahoo isn't that far behind! on Yahoo! Search Providing Support to Wikipedia · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yahoo's Q4 2004 profits: $373,000,000
    Google's Q4 2004 profits: $399,000,000
    Hardly a vast difference, the thing that people forget is that while google may perhaps be technologically superior its profits aren't that much greater.

  6. More coverage at el Reg: on Sony Patents Matrix-Like Game Technology · · Score: 1
  7. Screenshot of April Fools on Google Ride Finder Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here is a link to a screenshot: http://www.joefarish.co.uk/images/gmail.jpg

  8. Graffiticasting on Grafedia Elevates Graffiti To Art · · Score: 1

    At least they didn't call it graffiticasting :)

  9. Tinyurl on Grafedia Elevates Graffiti To Art · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is stupid - have people not heard of Tiny URL?

    It even supports mailto: as well as standard http links. I think using tinyurl to directly link to your content is better than having to send an email to some crappy site and then get a link to the content.

  10. Heard of Google Cache? on A History of Icons · · Score: 1
  11. PHP + MySQL + n00bs = security nightmare on Teaching Programming to Non-Developers · · Score: 1

    If you start teaching them how to write PHP code then teach them how to write secure code from day one! Warn them of the dangers of Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and MySQL injection etc. See here for more security related issues.

  12. Sony's fortunes don't need turning round on PSPCasting · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sony's console sales have actually been pretty healthy - its the other parts of their business that are shakey. They have sold 100 million PlayStations and 75 million Playsation 2s. The PS2 sales have dipped recently but thats to be expected. When the PS3 comes out it they will be the market leader again. But I don't think PSP casting will change the fortunes of Sony.

  13. URL Blockin on Planning For Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    In Internet Explorer you can block certain "dodgy" URLs - but you can't do this in Firefox!

  14. Well I won't be buying it.... on Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta · · Score: 1

    because it doesn't have Ogg support!!!!!!!

  15. What! on Top 50 DVDs · · Score: 1

    No Paris Hilton?

  16. Re:Ever wondered.. on AMD Plants Turion Line of Mobile Chips · · Score: 1

    It can easily crush AMD with just marketing.

    If Intel can easily crush AMD why hasn't it done so allready?

  17. If you don't know what RSA is... on Banks Begin To Use RSA Keys · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Check out this Wikpedia article.

  18. In that case I'm moving to... on Introducing Asteroid 2004 MN4 · · Score: 1

    China, where asteroids are always positive

  19. Thats all very well but... on The Media in 2014 · · Score: 0

    In China, the future is always positive.

    WTF?

  20. replacement for Soviet and Korean joke? on Bad Science Awards · · Score: -1

    From the article "in China the radiation effect is always positive"

    In China, (current subject) is always positive!

  21. How is this 'typical' Microsoft? on Microsoft Acquires Spyware Removal Company · · Score: 1

    How long has their 'security first' initative been going on? They must not be getting anywhere, because they now have to aquire their security apps.

    First of all SP2 has introduced a lot of new security features such as the Windows security centre. This includes a built in firewall which is turned on by default.

    I also think its a good thing that Microsoft has aquired this company and it says to me that Microsoft is really serious about security. Perhaps this is part of a long term strategy to introduce auto spyware removal into the Windows security centre? - now that really would be progress.

  22. Thats all very well but..... on Lego Logic Gates · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can it play .Ogg files?

  23. Some useful links on New Advances Bring Fusion Closer to Reality · · Score: 2, Informative

    IANANP (I am not a nuclear physicist) but a lot of people don't seem to know much about fusion so here are some links which explain a bit more about it:

  24. Original Press Release on RIP Pentium II, 1997 - 2006 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The original Press Release is still on the Intel website. Its hard to believe that this was cutting edge back in 1997.

  25. I disagree on President Bush's Money For Space Cometh · · Score: 1

    And while I do support the Iraq war I don't believe the US should have put up the bulk of the resources to do it.

    If you go to war with out the support of the international community you can't expect them to pick up the bill. Its as simple as that.
