  1. When will people learn? on Sun Refuses LGPL for OpenOffice; Novell forks · · Score: 1, Troll

    When will people learn that bickering like this is completely pointless and is in no one's best interests?

  2. Re:Rock on on Carnegie Mellon CAPTCHA Digitization Project Now Underway · · Score: 1

    The article doesnt say. However go ahead and try it.

    I did it about 10 times putting garbage in the left. Every time I got it correct.

  3. Re:Rock on on Carnegie Mellon CAPTCHA Digitization Project Now Underway · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I've found a flaw.

    It gives you two words to enter in but you only have to get the right one correct in order to get through.

    Spammers could fill the left word with nonsense and OCR the right one and the system would crumble.
    Who cares if the OCR isnt 100% accurate. It'll be good enough to get a lot of spam through.

  4. Re:What will happen to English? on The World's Languages Are Fast Becoming Extinct · · Score: 4, Funny

    I blame the Americans.

    Australia seems to be doing rather well when it comes to using correct English.

  5. Re:Success Stories? on Novell Makes Linux Driver Project a Reality · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sorry, The NDA has forbidden the release of manufacturer names. :)

  6. Re:Obligitory on Review of Amazon's DRM-Less Music Download Store · · Score: 1

    Check their emails some time. :)
    They talk about it.

  7. Re:Is this really different from the RIAA or MPAA? on GPL Lawsuit May Not Settle · · Score: 1

    Its not a liability if you play by the rules.

    If you want to violate someone's copyright, you've got to deal with the consequences.

  8. Re:Expenses on GPL Lawsuit May Not Settle · · Score: 1

    GPL == Public Domain? ROFL. Get a clue please.

  9. Re:Bad move? on AMD Releases Register Specs For R5xx And R6xx · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Which is why releasing the specs is a great thing.

    Hardware makers do their thing and then they should pass the necessary info to the community so we can write the drivers.

  10. Re:Bit speculative on New Version of Gmail Being Tested · · Score: 1

    Actually those exotic ones have been there since the beginning.

    I bet Google staff did them in their free time.

  11. Re:shag carpet on Happiness Is A Warm Electrode · · Score: 1

    Who cares? Just tell me when they locate the pleasure centers of the brain so I can electrocute mine. :D

  12. Re:evesdropping requirements on Google Planning New Undersea Cable Across Pacific? · · Score: 1

    You would never get a stable signal. This is a multi-terrabit fiber connection remember.
    Getting that amount of data out intact without splicing is rather difficult.

  13. Re:CC gets out easy. on Texas Family 'Sues Creative Commons' · · Score: 1

    IMHO Virgin would be in the clear. They didnt break any law.
    They obeyed the licence.

  14. Re:Hmm on GPhone Still In the Works At Google · · Score: 1

    I wouldnt mind a ad supported phone made by Google actually.
    Good way to wipe out the competition as well.

  15. Re:Just because I have to on Massive Canadian Class-Action Cellphone Suit Is Approved · · Score: 1

    Americans cutting down on oil? Heh, unlikely.
    They'd pay through the nose just to have a bigger SUV than their neighbors.

  16. Re:OpenOffice has a long way to go on OpenOffice 2.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Hopefully the extensions will close the gap.

    From what I see, you can do rather nifty things with them.

  17. Re:Of course. on Google Pleased With ISO OOXML Decision · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah but Google provides all their stuff for free with ads.
    Microsoft charges for the same thing.

    Its a completely different business model.
    Google doesnt have to screw over customers to make money.

    IMHO they wont venture to the dark side of the force.

  18. Re:They still don't give the exact byte downloadli on Comcast Slightly Clarifies High Speed Extreme Use Policy · · Score: 1

    I'm with TPG 512k (true) unlimited here in Aus.
    They also have a 150gig plan for ADSL 2+ but its not in my area.

    TPG has very fair prices/quota. :)

  19. Re:haha oh wow on Researchers Suggest P2P As Solution To Video Domination of The Internet · · Score: 1

    For stuff like patches that doesnt matter.
    It would simply use a Bittorrent like system where the chunks can come from anywhere in the file.

  20. Re:So Windows Update Has Problems on Stealthy Windows Update Raises Serious Concerns · · Score: 1

    Now is the best time to learn you know.

    And Wine is often faster than Windows.
    Where Microsoft screws up, the wine guys do it properly.

    Move over gradually. You'll learn to love it.

  21. Re:I must have missed something HUGE on Jeremy Allison On Microsoft, OOXML and Standards · · Score: 1

    Yeah its fubar.

    Windows servers need larger clusters so if one BSOD's then it will have minimal impact. ;)

  22. Re:Not ready for prime time? on Google Quietly Closes AdSense API to Small Sites · · Score: 3, Informative

    Its not Adsense. Its a special form of adsense which would probably only be useful for larger sites anyway.

    Basically its revenue sharing where you can share a % of your profit with your users.
    Thats all they have limited.

  23. Re:Vista drivers??? on HP's Inkjet Technology Used to Administer Drugs · · Score: 1

    Whoops thats the old url.

    http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ is the new drivers.

    Probably not but feel free to admire their open source Linux drivers while you wait. :)
    http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/

    Yes they are made by HP and are fully featured including scanning and network support.

  25. Re:Article is very misleading - JS benchmark only on Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 As Fastest Browser · · Score: 1

    I've noticed its far faster for various complex javascript stuff.

    Drag dropping specifically is blazing fast compared to FF.
    Its very fluid.
