  1. Re:Good time to move on. on Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky Leaves Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Except those MacBooks which are gaining more and more market share..

  2. Re:I'd like Win 7 a bit more .. on Windows 7 Is the Next Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Aero Peak isn't the preview windows, it's where all other windows fade out to show just which window is in a taskbar preview you've currently got a pointer over.

  3. Re:Iâ(TM)m horrified. on Microsoft Ignores Usability With All-Caps Menu in Visual Studio · · Score: 1, Troll

    Last nail in the coffin of one of the most used development environments in the world?

  4. That's it on Flying Car Makes Successful Maiden Flight · · Score: 1

    We're officially in the future now.

  5. Re:Well... on Microsoft: No Windows 8 ARM Support For x86 Apps · · Score: 1

    Surely this was the point of the .NET virtual machine, to compile to CLR run on *?

  6. Re:It's gay on Microsoft Wants Your Feedback On Its New Python IDE · · Score: 0

    Can software be homosexual?

  7. Re:False Advertising on To Verizon, "Unlimited" Means 5 GB · · Score: 1

    September 05 I moved to TalkTalks 'unlimited broadband' with a 12 month contract. Within a month they'd blocked all bittorrent and limewire traffic and capped my HTTP download speeds. I remember having a big argument with someone from customer support about the definition of a limit - they kept telling me they impose restrictions instead of limits. At one point I laughed in the guys face.

  8. Oblig. Stargate comment on Another New Tomb in the Valley of the Kings? · · Score: 1

    They might find another ZPM to power Earth's Antartic base.

  9. Re:Oblig SG-1 on Cheyenne Mountain Shutting Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree, everything was nicely rounded off end of season 8. But I guess they'll not stop it until it's no longer profitable.

  10. Re:Examples Please! on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    I'm also interested in how the Sweedish news papers have been reporting this. Would they show it as it truely is, or from some bastardised 'anti-piracy' angle?

  11. Re:All of the Web on a laptop? on Startup Webaroo to put the 'Web on a Hard Drive'? · · Score: 1

    and, of course, one of the floppies will corrupt leaving you with the rest being useless.

  12. Re:Dlink on Interest in Embedded Linux Remains Low · · Score: 1

    It's a sharp zaurus - Linux born and bred ;P

  13. Dlink on Interest in Embedded Linux Remains Low · · Score: 2, Informative

    My D-Link DSL604t is Linux based too, and so is my PDA..

  14. Tunebite on iTunes, One Billion Suckers Served? · · Score: 1

    Tunebite is an application for windows which makes a virtual digital sound card, then uses iTunes/WMP to play DRMed music at x2 or x4 the normal speed, then uses the digital sound card to record a perfect, lossless ogg/mp3/unencrypted wma. Works well, I've heard of some people use it on Napster (can napster WMAs play in WMP?)

  15. What about Zeta Reticuli on Shortlist of Possible ET Addresses · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Encryption isn't the solution we need, or want. on BitTorrent and End to End Encryption · · Score: 5, Interesting

    No.. No they're not. My ISP, TalkTalk, lied about the service they were providing me - even after I enquiered about p2p (GNUtella, Bittorrent) which they assured were totally unrestricted, they were quite happy to sign me up to a 12 month contract and totally restrict all traffic from the p2p clients. Don't worry, I've complained about a month ago and I'm intending to get out with out paying theur £70 cancellation fee. This is for users like me, who have been screwed over by greedy ISPs. And I welcome our new encripted overlords.

  17. wow on Hacking Santa · · Score: 0

    Hahaha, I just got sent out of the library for laughing so hard.

    That ought to be placed out side a shop.

  18. Re:So.... on Ignore Vista Until 2008 · · Score: 2, Funny

    (Ignore above post, meddling kids!)

    "It's been years since I used a 2 dimentional control interface, how ever did we manage?" - Julian Bashire from an imperfect DS9 future

  19. Re:So.... on Ignore Vista Until 2008 · · Score: 1

    A 2 dimentional display? How ever did we manage?

  20. Re:Athlon XP on Which CPU Is Tops in Price/Performance? · · Score: 1

    If they only supported SSE2 they'd be one hell of a chip.

  21. Isn't it best to keeps kids away from MacDonalds? on Nintendo & McDonalds Providing WiFi · · Score: 1

    Hm, not too sure if any of the Nintendo fan boys will agree with me saying this, but doesn't Nintendo target kids (mostly) with their game consoles/hand helds? This will just add to the amount of kids eating fast food and increasing the problem with is childhood obesity.

  22. Re:anybody remember the chant: SOH CAH TOA on Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines · · Score: 1

    My maths teacher used to tell us this: SOH - Silly Old Harry CAH - Caught a Herring TOA - Traveling off America Stupid, I know, but I've never fogot it.

  23. explaination on Evidence of 6 Dimensions or More? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I watched a stream yesterday which explained how dimensions can be interweaved into our own, and how the laws of gravity and Quantum physics can be combined with string theory,

  24. last planet? on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 1

    Uh, surly Pluto (even if you want to class it as a planet) isn't the last planet at all? What about the 10th planet (Xena, havn't they called it?)

  25. interest gone? on Novell To Open Source SUSE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I help out occasionally on a Linux help IRC channel, and looking through the logs I've seen that the amount of people using SuSE has dropped considerably while the amount of people using Ubuntu has risen exponentially.

    Maybe they're opening it up to compete with Ubuntu?
