  1. well... on IBM Offers to Help Sun Open Up Java · · Score: 1

    It would just allow Micro$oft to know how to (better?) write windows code that makes Java buggier.

  2. I think on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: 1

    "XP Relinquished" is more apt.

  3. Re:Why ? on IBM Wants to Port Office to Linux · · Score: 1

    Actually, not so. Access can be networked across a small user base, with security, priveleges, the lot. It's quite handy in a small user environment of up to 15 users, but that's it, scalable it is not. It does however require MS Access be installed on each node.

  4. my opinion on Trivial Barriers to Personal Linux Use? · · Score: 1

    If Micro$oft Office was ported to Linux things would change dramatically in favour of Linux on the desktop. Like it or not.

  5. Re:Browser support in 2004 on Designing Websites - What Browser to Code For? · · Score: 1

    Should schmood.

  6. Re:simple on Designing Websites - What Browser to Code For? · · Score: 1

    If the script kiddies werent so masturbatingly loving of stupid web tricks and totally ignorant of w3c standards, then a single implementation of a cross-browser design would be no problemo.

  7. simple on Designing Websites - What Browser to Code For? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ever thought about about designing to them all? No brainer really.

  8. Your honour! on Energy Company Refutes Windows TCO Claims · · Score: 1

    Objection! Leading the witness.

    I bet the bird were glad the Romans came along.

  10. oy on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: -1, Redundant

    the friggin download link dosent work. whats the story?

  11. Re:Beginning of a frightening trend? on Australia To Adopt U.S.-Style Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    A case in point being the Patriot Act. Australia followed swiftly with its own arcane laws to fight terrorism. Not that we needed much help on the bad neighbour front, our government(s) rarely fails to present us as a bunch of Bush cronies. (no longer a bush culture but a Bush culture). The tide against your president in the upcoming elections will be mirrored here in Australia also, and will be interesting to see if both the current governments are ousted by more liberal oposition. (In a cruel irony, the current Aust conservative govt is in fact the Liberal party). But Im sure the Labor party will be just as adept at fucking up our relationship with the developing world.

  12. simple on How are System Requirements Determined? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ocham's razor: The simplest explanation is probably correct. (ie yes, they are trying to flog more hardware).

  13. Why not on Mars Race Heats up Further · · Score: 5, Funny

    Might India or China take a stab at it as well?

    Maybe they can out-source the labour to the West!

  14. Re:ok then on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 1

    So out of the millions of Linux hackers, you think they are all above reproach and unlikely? What a perfect community.

  15. ok then on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So we all believe the MyDoom virus attacking SCO was a coincidence? Yeah, right. Face the facts kids, it had disgruntled Linux geek written all over it.

  16. Re:The REAL reason I wear an analog watch on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    And your point is?

  17. me? on Which Instant Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Java. Of course.

  18. great on Gosling Returns To The Java Fold · · Score: 1

    Whats good for the gosling is good for the gander.

  19. Excuse my ignorance on Tickets For The World's Biggest Computer Party · · Score: 1

    but can someone please explain wtf "The Gathering" is..... The link in the intro points to a blog, is there an official site or is this some kind of mass secrecy geek "you either know or you don't know" weener trip or what?

  20. Take me home on Amazon To Comply With Kansas Sales Tax Law · · Score: 1

    Maybe Amazon thought if they just clicked their heals it would all go away.

  21. Re:HEY! on Author signs MyDoom virus · · Score: 1

    You would think a guy (or gurl) who was about to launch the most widespread computer virus in history (aside form Windoze, which is really just a big virus itself) would come up with something a bit more interesting. Surely, Andy, you must have something more important to say. Otherwise, what's the point? What is your problem Andy? Just email me and we'll work it out old son!

  22. Re:J all over the world on Another Review on Sun's Java Desktop · · Score: 1

    A lot of thought should go into a program's name, but one of the things that matters the least is trying to reflect in the name the language or GUI kit used to develop it.


    That's only true if there is no benefit in leveraging said language. With Java there is, especially because it means different things to different people.

  23. Re:Escrow on Microsoft, Yahoo Investigate Spam Solution · · Score: 1

    I don't think the parent's point was that it's not actually technically possible, more that it is ridiculous that a sender pays for emailing someone who has chosen they should pay.

  24. Re:Cha ching? on Microsoft, Yahoo Investigate Spam Solution · · Score: 1

    Spam filtering is NEVER going to work. Charging mail stamps is not such a bad idea, however such a system would have to be for bulk mailings only and incorporate applying for exemptions, such as universities, .org, non-profit mailing lists etc. It would have to be thought out. This would require mailers to be transparent. Instead of the slimy sucks who hide in their dirty spam caves as they are now.

  25. Omission on Linux Going Mainstream · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think a glaring omission of this article, one that most reporters seem to miss, is that a business need only buy one copy of a vendor's version of Linux (none if they download it), and it can then be installed on any number of machines. Absolutely no extra costs per seat. Why this point is being driven home I don't know.
