  1. Re:Go BBC! on BBC Begins Open-Source Streaming Challenge · · Score: 1

    Pity that no boradcasters in the UK even offer HDTV. Still, this may even be a sneaky covert tactic to muscle in on the broadband crowd, with a media streming format setting them up for a HDTV service, and allowing them an excuse to offer cheap (and profitable for them), fast broadband. The clever bastards!

  2. Good or bad? on DoubleClick Hit by DDoS Attack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm not sure whether the encouragement of DDOS-ing even 'evil' companies should be encouraged.

  3. Re:Slashdotting worse than from Slashdot? on Water-Cooled Half-Life 2 Case Mod · · Score: 2, Funny
    >>What hit him so hard on 12th?

    He evaded the slashdot effect by sending his server back in time!

  4. Money on Best Results From Bartering Computer Services? · · Score: 1

    For the simplest things. 50 for re-booting a file server. 20 for re-installing a set of drivers. 10 for removing the netsky worm (after norton got stuck in a loop eating up all the processor time and memory. 2000 instances of netsky on one machine). I think once I was payed in sausages...

  5. Technical feasibiltiy on Jet-powered Nausicaa Glider Project · · Score: 1

    I am NOT an aeronautical engineer, but several members of my family ARE. They ALL agree that this is feasible from a technical and practical standpoint, but ONLY with a fully trained and competant pilot. i.e. someone who is well versed in both the fields of aerodynamics, and is fell informed, prefferably first hand, of the idiosyncrasies of the airframe. The main problem I can see with this from a marketing point of view is the actual advantage of this over a private jet. It would probably use les fuel, and be priced lower, but would also have a reduced range, and would be uncomfortable in adverse weather conditions. That said, I would buy one if I had the money! (which is what it all boils down to isn't it?)
