  1. While behind enemy lines, on Sniping Could Be the Next Killer iPod App · · Score: 1

    please remember to put your iPhone on silent. Thank you.

    Just let Steve and his wife get on with it.

    Solaris does.

  4. Aaaa on Interpol Pushing World Facial Recognition Database · · Score: 1

    aaaargh.

    Fuck it. I'm moving to Lovely.

  5. Idiots on Passport Required To Buy Mobile Phones In the UK · · Score: 1

    Do Jacqui Smith and the rest of the fucktards (I've just added 'fucktard' to my Firefox dictionary - I have a feeling I'll be using it more in the coming months) at the Home Office not understand anything?
    Can they not see how easily these measures will be circumvented? Have they not learned anything from the data-loss scandals? Are they actually that naive?
    When the ex-head of MI5 says we're over-reacting to the terrorist threat, I'm inclined to think we're over-reacting.

    With any luck the Lords will take a quick scan over the legislation, wipe their asses with it, and throw it straight back in Jacquie Smith's stupid face.

  6. It'll never get through. on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 1

    We all saw how much joy Jacqui had with her last foray into anti-terror legislation. This bill will similarly be shat upon from a great height by the House of Lords. That's assuming it even makes it through the Commons.

    Jacqui Smith can fucking suck on it. Jack Straw was a twat as well - must be a requirement for the Home Secretary position.

  7. Re:KID SPA 2008? on Sex Offender E-Mail Registry Signed Into Law · · Score: 1

    It's a continuation of CAN SPAM.

  9. Re:My clients are fat? on New York Times Says Thin Clients Are Making a Comeback · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're working in America.

  10. Re:conversion help on Blizzard Awarded $6M Damages From MMOGlider · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's about 4 quid.

  11. Re:a survey on 88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off · · Score: 1

    And this is why layoffs are actioned on a friday night. Accounts are locked and badges disabled so the recently deprived of work can't get into the building or access machines.

    Any company laying off root-access people and not utilising the element of surprise deserves what they get.

  12. Halon on Cost-Effective Server Room Air Conditioning? · · Score: 1

    Just hit the halon dump switch when you need to cool the room. Makes a hell of a noise, but cools the place down pretty nicely.

    That's what I did at my last job, anyway. And the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before that...

  13. Re:Once had life, but no more on Mars Orbiter Finds Evidence For Ancient Rivers, Lakes · · Score: 1

    Finally, a use for the hard drive magnets we've all been collecting.

    I've got a copy of War and Peace stuck to the freezer with one of those bad boys.

  14. Re:ha! on EU Calls For Use of Open Standards · · Score: 5, Funny

    Never mind - that perl script he gave you looks quite useful.

  15. Re:No on Boy Scouts Ask Open Source Community For Help · · Score: 1

    Good point, and well made.

    However, Freedom 5 anyone?

  16. An Anonymous reader on UK Prosecutors Say 'Cult' Acceptable · · Score: 4, Funny

    How appropriate.

  17. Re:YoddaByte? on A Yottabyte of Storage Per Year by 2013 · · Score: 1

    Yes.

  18. Re:tell the difference? on $90 Asus Sound Card Whips Creative's Best · · Score: 1

    Thank you indeed, slashdotters. Your suggestions lead me, in a roundabout way, to this:

    DIP switches on the back to select the sample rate. How cool is that?

  19. Re:tell the difference? on $90 Asus Sound Card Whips Creative's Best · · Score: 1

    Maybe one of you fine slashdotters will know...

    Are there any USB cards out there that work with Linux, that don't resample 44.1K up to 48K, and have SPDIF I/O ? I have been seeking this holy grail for many years now.

  20. Re:Spamming on New Botnet Dwarfs Storm · · Score: 1

    Infected Exchange server?

  21. Re:Better headline on MacBook Air First To Be Compromised In Hacking Contest · · Score: 5, Funny

    There's a 'yo mama' joke in there somewhere.

  22. Re:Good way to turn a positive thing negative on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 1

    Opera Mini and MidpSSH are great.
    As are PacMan and Tetris.

    Desktop Java software usually sucks, though.

  23. Hmmm. on Multitasking Makes You Stupid and Slow · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the test subjects just ran out of physical memory and started thrashing - swapping-out to a note pad under load is an expensive operation.
    There's a joke in there somewhere about page faults, but I'm too drunk to find it.

  24. Re:When is it going to happen on Amazon MP3 Store to Go Global in 2008 · · Score: 1

    http://www.7digital.com/

    70% of their catalogue is MP3, and they've even got FLACs of the last Radiohead album.
    Unfortunately, some of their catalogue is protected WMA only.

    Depends what chair I'm sitting on, and whether the armrests hit the desk on the way round.
