    I guess its for people who cant make a poker face then. :)

  2. Re:Market Hold Consolidation? on Standard Web Fonts 'Updated' In Vista · · Score: 1

    I'd say a *touch* better. They are more consistent than anything else.

    Worth upgrading every computer for? Hell no.

  3. Re:This just in: ActiveX STILL a bad idea... on RealPlayer Zero-Day Flaw Under Attack · · Score: 1

    With ActiveX anyone can make something automatically execute.

    With Firefox's plugin search there is a predefined list.

  4. Re:typo on Evolution and the 'Wisdom of Crowds' · · Score: 1

    Comparing the percentages between other countries and the USA shows the truth.

    USA: Protestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10%
    Australia: Catholic 26.4%, Anglican 20.5%, other Christian 20.5%, Buddhist 1.9%, Muslim 1.5%, other 1.2%, unspecified 12.7%, none 15.3%
    UK: Christian (Anglican, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist) 71.6%, Muslim 2.7%, Hindu 1%, other 1.6%, unspecified or none 23.1%

    It seems that the USA is significantly more brainwashed^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H religious than the rest of the world.

  5. Re:Religion vs Darwin vs Technology vs Society on Evolution and the 'Wisdom of Crowds' · · Score: 1

    I'm also a Aussie and I also followed similar reasoning.

    One extra thing which I thought about was why the bloody hell would a God create us?
    There is no point at all in doing so.

    There is of course the point of if God created us, and all things need to be created, then who created god?
    The 'omnipresent' stuff makes no sense what so ever.

  6. Re:Lesson in MS Counting on First Details of Windows 7 Emerge · · Score: 1

    I think Windows 7 will break that theory. :P

    Also you seem to have lumped 2k and XP together.

    They used a beta of Excel 2009 to figure out the numbers.

  8. Re:Can I get a little insight, please? on First Details of Windows 7 Emerge · · Score: 1

    Your standard Linux kernel only uses a meg or two at most.
    Its completely insignificant.

    On embedded devices it goes down even more.

  9. Re:computer? on Computer Software to Predict the Unpredictable · · Score: 1, Funny

    Predicting especially the US Army isnt terribly difficult.
    You could do it with a switch:

    switch (case)
    {
        default:
            fireAtWill();
    }

  10. Re:Alternate headline on Geek and Gadgets Set Cross-US Speed Record · · Score: 1

    As opposed to your regular drunk idiot speeding.

    I'd rather be on the road with the guy who knows *exactly* what he's doing personally.

  11. Re:What is fast flux DNS? on Storm Worm Botnet Partitions May Be Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    Domains are detached from the computers they point to.

    Do something illegal on a computer which a domain points to and the domain registrar cannot shut you down, only the host of the computer can.

    Infringe someone's trademark with a domain however can be grounds for domain deletion.

    You mean SP7 right?

    It'll be another NT but worse.

  13. Re:Waiting for... on Hitachi Promises 4-TB Hard Drives By 2011 · · Score: 1

    Yeah I've got a identical setup.

    Hard drives cannot keep up with space demands these days.
    RAID 5 is the only way to go if you want a lot of cheap redundant space.

  14. Re:This smacks of bullshit... on Web Accessibility Gets a Boost In California Court · · Score: 1

    As someone who will eventually go blind (genetic disorder), I disagree with you.
    This lawsuit is pretty good. It might actually make the web a better place.

    While voting with your wallet works to a certain extent, 99.9% of companies would never willingly cater to disabled people especially blind people.
    Is it really that difficult to make a website which works properly?

  15. Re:One Nuke on Profile of the Russian Business Network · · Score: 1

    Great idea! Nuking Microsoft would also solve the world's obesity, oil and political problems all in one go.

    I'm surprised I didnt think of that myself.

    Um...Yes.

    Australia on the other hand is relatively clean. :)

    But with this feature it makes it significantly easier. No screwdriver required.

    If someone leaves their laptop for a drink, you can easily grab significant amounts of data before they get back.

    There are far cooler security devices you can put in to plastic money compared to paper money.

    As a Aussie (the guys who first started using plastic money), I have to say paper money is rather stupid. :)
