  1. Re:I predict a new business coming on UK's MI5 Wants Oyster Card Travel Data · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So you are the scum who speed whenever you can get away with it? Yeah, i see you all the time, you never notice bikes on the road, almost run down pedestrians daily. You are always cutting corners, crossing over the road to overtake.

    You do not drive as well as you think you do. Driving is not just about you getting where you want to get as quickly as you can. It is about doing the best on the road for everybody, not charging around like a fool, but driving with respect to other drivers.

    I like to thank my monitor for what comes through the tubes. And every now and again I give my mouse a grateful squeeze.

    Simple. If the machine can tell the difference between a question and a joke, then it has attained intelligence. This is what we should be aiming for.

    Surely this has been patented at sometime? This just seems to obvious for it not to be.

    I think you are confusing peoples inability to communicte effectively rather than peoples ignorance of available OS.

  6. Re:Set in their ways on Late Adopters Prefer the Tried and True · · Score: 1

    Wow, lets all be glad someone from tech support is here to set us straight. Here is some news for you, there are a lot of stupid people out there, and a lot of them work in tech support. Tech support have this amazing ability to not understand that most people don't know the same things that they do. Which makes me laugh, since tech support people generally know VERY LITTLE about IT.

    So if someone doesn't want to own a computer, how can you say that they have a need for it? And what are they doing talking to you in the first place.

  7. Re:WTF... on Facebook Interviewer Heckled at Web Conference · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is exactly the right reason to throw insults at her. Maybe you enjoy having to deal with incompetent people all day long, but it gets to some of us after a while. So every now and again we feel the need to respond. From all accounts, Sarah sounded liked an incompetent buffoon.

  8. Re:WTF. on British Airport Will Require Fingerprints From Domestic Passengers · · Score: 1

    No, you are completely wrong. It was done 30 year ago, because we didn't have the technology 30 years ago. Now we have the technology to digitally record all sorts of information very easily. Certain people have wanted to do this for a long time, but have been held back. Be assured, if this technology was available back in the day, we would be having this same discussion, just at the pub rather than on slashdot.

    Just so you know, you can still download any photos you want, and visit any website you want.

  10. Re:Short answer on Bank That Suppressed WikiLeaks Gives It Up · · Score: 1

    Surely there is the right answer, and it shouldn't need precedence to come up with it. If all judges don't come up with the right answer everytime, then how can we trust precedence anyway? Why is the first judge to come up with the case going to automatically make the right decision?

    The legal system is a joke, to anyone outside it.

    Just as it was the fault of that lighthouse getting in the way of that battleship.

    Sure ideal, until you come between a Koala and a gumtree, then we will see how ideal it is to have your guts spread out over the outback.

  13. Re:Math Forfront on Mathematician Solves a Big One After 140 Years · · Score: 1

    Mathematics is clearly a human endeavor.

    Are you suggesting that, in the case that there is other life out there, that they won't come up with the same mathematical system that we have? Of course not.

    That Microsoft would drop price?
    That Microsoft would drop the price on non-oem Vista?

    That Microsoft would drop the price of non-oem Vista by $70 in Febuary?
    That Microsoft would drop the price of non-oem Vista by $70 on Febuary 28th?

    Yes, because that is all it takes for technological innovation to happen, consumer disatisfaction. Like when people were so pissed of that the Sun was rotating around the Earth, that they innovated it to stop, and go the other way round. Genius!

  19. Re:From the fucking comments on Mac OS X Secretly Cripples Non-Apple Software · · Score: 1

    Why not?

    Apple want people to use Safari over any other browser. Firefox has a lot of momentum. This is something for them to use to their advantage. It is not illegal, or even, in some sense, immoral.

    It is the equivalent of using internal mail rather than Royal Mail to send some of your documents.

    Clustered computers are still, and probably always will be, more cost effective than Mainframes. However some applications are more suited towards mainframes, HPC stuff, rather than cluster, HTC stuff.
