  1. Spoiler Alert! on Final Fantasy vs. Oblivion · · Score: 1
    Didn't even get as far as Aeris dying.
    Yeah, thanks for the spoiler alert mate.
  2. Re:Studies like this are always a problem on Swedish Study Finds Cell Phone Cancer Risk · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The british study is automatically suspect. I don't think the country that gave us Mad Cow Disease can be trusted with anything scientific. Ever. Would be like asking a german about human rights.

    Isn't that a bit like saying
    The American study is automatically suspect. I don't think the country that gave us Intelligent Design can be trusted with anything scientific. Ever.

    I'm not even going to touch the German/Human Rights issue. Europe doesn't have its own PATRIOT act or Guantanamo yet, you know.

  3. That's nothing - Gamecube available for 25 quid on Xbox 360 Launches In Europe · · Score: 1

    I saw a Currys advert in the Saturday Mirror. They're offering the Gamecube for a bargain 25 quid. 25 quid! Should fill the gap nicely until [improved 360|PS3|Revolution] arrives!

  4. Re:Placement on Google Upgrades AdSense · · Score: 2, Informative
    How long have they been doing this?
    Since at least 2002 - at first advertisers needed to spend at least US$5000 a month to get up there. Nowadays normal Adwords can get to that position - provided the ads are fairly popular (i.e. they get clicked on a lot.)
  5. Re:Another indictment of MySql on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 1
    This is the problem with open-source in general, if someone is just doing it for fun they aren't going to spend any time on the stuff they don't care about personally.

    Anti-Open Source FUD - doubly so, since MySQL is produced by a commercial company. MySQL's limitations are nothing to do with it being open source, although its popularity certainly is.
