    They probably use exchange, so for about half the day she can't get emails, the other half it wont send them out.

    Yes, I would be much happier if I could solve all the problems in the my life time? Oh, no, no I wouldn't. How shit would that be? How boring a Universe would that leave us in.

    Might as well be religous.

    You are a dickhead. There is no reason this video couldn't just play if it had a problem contacting base. Sure I can't read slashdot when it is down, but it doesn't freeze my whole computer. Sure, i can't go to the ATM when it is down, but it doesn't force me to stay there until it is back up.

    Light a fire for a troll, and he will be warm for the night, but set a troll on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

    Well, maybe the submitter should be given the first comment automatically, rather than having to wait for the story to be accepted and hit the front page.

    Steve jobs did actually die, years ago. We are on th 4th incarnation of Steve Jobs. This new one promises to be sleeker and curvier than the last, plus smarterer. I can't wait.

  15. Re:Andriod is no threat on Apple Censors App Store Rejection Notices · · Score: 1

    Clearly, no one gives a shit about this stuff. But people do care about watching movies, listening to music. You can argue about this all you want, but just look at the market. You can even pretend it is about other issues like the reality distortion field, if that makes you feel better.

  16. Re:irrational... on Apple Censors App Store Rejection Notices · · Score: 1

    It comes down to one word: Marketing.

    No it doesn't just come down to that, since as far as I know, all car companies Market their products.

    It comes down to price, customer loyalty, friends, location, loads and loads of factors, with marketing being just one of these, and possible not the biggest.

    Yes, exactly. I mean my daughter can draw a picture of mars using crayons, so shouldn't we be able to land a man on mars?

    How are the two even related?

    Also, I don't know how good this study is, I certainly am less concerned when using university computers to when I use my own.

    Maybe when you are concentrating, then you will notice the difference (not I say maybe). But when you are engrossed on the the actual story of the film, it has to be something pretty major for you to notice again.

    maybe you just had a really bad dvd player/tv.

  23. Re:Crack vs. Foss on How Asus Recovery Disks Ended Up Carrying Software Cracks · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have had problems using 7-zip on new winzip created zip files. I am not the only one to have this problem in my company. We wish we could get rid of Winzip, but we can't since out clients use it (not from bittorrent, wanker!) uses it. You do know that zip has different compression algorithms within it (not 7z, arj, just zip!). This is the problem, 7-zip doesn't handle the latest ones.

    All I want from 7-zip is as I said, for it to work, and it not to waste 30 minutes figuring out it can't handle a file.

    In my personal experience, it keeps failing. What more can I say. Not all the time, but a couple of times a day.

  24. Re:Crack vs. Foss on How Asus Recovery Disks Ended Up Carrying Software Cracks · · Score: 1

    Because 7-zip if shit and doesn't handle a lot of zip formats. I wish it was better, but we would always have it falling over, where it gets stuck for 30 minutes while it figures out that it can't understand that file.
