  1. HAHAHAAHAHAH on MPAA Giving Up on Broadcast Flag... For Now? · · Score: 0

    Sorry I've got to pick myself up off the floor from laughing. They won't give up, they'll just slap it on the end of an Iraq war funding bill by paying the right people off.

  2. I'm a geek damn it! on Email Addiction Runs Rampant · · Score: 0

    WTF do they expect from us? Most of us spend several (see about 12) hours a day at a PC. If we have internet access we'd obviously use it to check our e-mail.

    Maybe we should stop changing channels when we're bored just incase we become addicted to finding something better and entertaining.

  3. but on Zalman Showcase Massive P4 Heatsink · · Score: 0

    But it doesn't seem to have saved your from the slashdotting. Maybe we need a small moon sized heat sink to stop the servers bursting into flames?

  4. so name.. on Coming Soon, The Google Translator · · Score: 1

    Googlefish or babelgoogle? Maybe we shouldjust change "internet?" to google and every site much have google involved.

    Googlesoft.com
    Googlenix.com

    g ooglejournal.com

  5. nice.. on Poor Man's Kinesis Keyboard: The K'nexis Keyboard · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Nice to see the editors check what they link to. The wiki article has "well damn nigga" at the end of it... nice to see we keep racist bullshit off the site.

  6. erm on Poor Man's Kinesis Keyboard: The K'nexis Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I can press all three keys with 1 hand, so why do I need some device to do it?

  7. When on No IE7 For 2k, Now In Extended Service · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When games I want to play stop working in Windows 98 then I'll buy a new OS. Untill then going "oh no, you need the new IE you must upgrade" isn'tgoing to get my money.

  8. Well on Terrorist Link to Copyright Piracy Alleged · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is that a shock? Terrorism is the new buzz word, slap it onto anything you don't like and it's instantly evil.

    Hell lets just call Nazis terrorists now. They are pretty much interchangable if you ignore the "short" gap between the end of the second world war and today

  9. Re:fuck off on HP Announces National Id System Built on .NET · · Score: 1

    Should note I'm English and it takes alot for us to take a stand.. Infact I'm going to write a letter to the "powers that be" later.

  10. fuck off on HP Announces National Id System Built on .NET · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Simplely put, the government can fuck off. I will downright refuse to use ANYTHING built on microsoft technology which is this important. If all my personal data is being kept on it then I DEMAND security above and beyond anything MS has ever done.

    I don't care if I get arrested 100 times over for refusing to carry an ID card, it'll be worth it.

  11. Re:It's funny on Browser Wars 2: Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    Because in 2005 you're "the best" or you're nothing.

    Look at the amount of people with iPods thinking they MUST have one, when any cheaper MP3 player would be just as effective.

  12. Anyone else on Browser Wars 2: Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    Anyone else think this was Anti firefox? They say "IE has some security holes" then go on and list 5-6 "problems" (Which I've never exprienced) with Firefox... WTF comes to mind..

    If you're going to write a pro-IE article don't show it off like it's a "browser war" article.

  13. But what about consoles on Intel Adds DRM to New Chips · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Maybe this will be in the next gen consoles as well? It seems about the right time to reveal technology going in them and "forget" to mention this. Could outright kill mod chipping and pirated games.

  14. Fix windows on Microsoft Offers Tools to Spamming ISPs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fix windows and we will have less spam zombies. It's a bit late to close the barn door once the horse has bolted.

  15. Re:Evil Mozilla ! on Netscape 8 Breaks IE XML · · Score: 1

    Phoenix as in what firefox was called when I started using it? ;D

  16. Re:Comparison in slightly bad taste... on CIA's Info Ops Team Hosts 3-Day Cyber Wargame · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the world. If you have a clue you must hide on the Internet or get shunned by some idiot who sits and watchs TV all day because you told him he's wrong.

    The media wants people as dumb and as boxed in as possible so they can brainwash, when you get smarter then that they no longer intrest you and you become an out sider in society.

  17. Read the ToS on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 5, Informative

    Seems they are covering a few legal holes.. but will it stand against RIAA/MPAA's pack of lawyers?

    Really? I have top karma possible (aka it hasn't been below excellent since the day it hit excellent a year ago or so probably now).

    whats the code like exactly?

  19. Ms's new slogan on Linux and OpenOffice save Microsoft Presentation · · Score: 1

    "It just doesn't work" seems more accurate now.

    You still die.. your knowledge lives on but you still die. So your family may "still have you" but you still goto the great beyond..

    I thought it was Wogan but theres so many of them people (Bob monk house etc.) they all seem to merge and I didn't want to get it wrong.

    But yea we're getting owned but that just proves Europe hated the war no?

  22. Lalah on Physicists Uncover TV Show Biases · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Watch the UK broadcast of it if you can get hold of it. The "host" has been doing it for years, he always comments on it and points it out every time people vote for "friends". It's been that way for years and always will be.

    Hell it's the best reason to watch for us in the UK. The back handed comments rock.

  23. So.. on VX30 Ad-Stats Code Online · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So when is it okay to use GPL code? I mean it seems alot of companies use it n beta "to test stuff" or "to use untill we code our own for the full version". When does this start becoming "well, it's easier"?

    I mean unless you read every single bit of OSS code and every single bit of closed source code you'd never going to catch all these things.

    How long is it untill people start to use GPL code in closed source software and sue anyone who reversse engineers it?

  24. Re:On-demand is the future, today. on Television Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Simple, put an advert before the TV show starts, maybe even two if you're a money whore. Most people wouldn't mind a 10 seconds advert before a TV show.

  25. Let it die on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why can't it just die. Simpsons, family guy and futurama are all pretty much the same show with different coloured characters and situations. all the jokes are pretty much identical so does it matter if one dies?
