  1. Huh? on Ultrawideband May Stall Before It Starts · · Score: 1

    GPS is broadcast from space

    Mobile phones use GSM (mostly)

  2. Not to mention... on Debian Leaders: We Need to Release More Often · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not to mention Gentoo.

    But I'll wisely keep quiet so not to incur the wrath of Slashdot...

  3. I second that on Gmail Goes Public · · Score: 1

    Ive had plusnet for 18 months now and theyre excellent. The customer service really sells them, as those BT monkeys have put diggers and all sorts through our line and plus has kicked them into action :)

  4. Absolutely Correct on VoIP to Fuel Plague of 'Dialing for Dollars'/Spam · · Score: 1

    Couldnt agree more :D

  5. Re:Nope. The Welsh spelling is: on P2P (More) Legal in France · · Score: 1

    Haha jokes on me, im at a welsh uni!

  6. Well... on Intel Flaunts Mac mini Knock-off · · Score: 1

    Well good for them. Most people are too stupid to make use of one computer, let alone a house full. So when some fool says - "Hey I have one computer more than you", you can say "Yes but im not a complete f*cking moron" :D

  7. Re:it's an empty case on Intel Flaunts Mac mini Knock-off · · Score: 1

    Visual Studios great, if you want to shell out for all that. Try open source.

  8. Open Source.... on New Vulnerabilities Discovered in Firefox 1.0 · · Score: 1

    is so good the bugs are fixed before theyre found! :D

  9. Re:Really? on Sony Ericsson Announces First Walkman Phone · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Full of idiots mostly

  10. Groan on Bill Gates to Receive Honorary UK Knighthood · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not more pomp and tradition. You Americans might love it, but im sick of all the crap that goes on in this country. Why do we have such rubbish traditions here in the UK??

    Look at Europe - yes Europe, any European hating beer drinking louts (hopefully they cant use a keyboard let alone a PC). Simple formal parliaments, not morons in an old fashioned ornate horrible old building who yell at each other like children instead of agreeing when things are a good idea, and constructively working towards a sollution to things which need solving.

    Why does the prime minister have to follow silly old traditions where he goes and talks to the queen and all that crap? Hello there was a civil war, parliament won, and at that point we should have formed a secular, truly democratic state like france attempted at that point. But no... instead we have some horrible mess of inefficiency.

    Dont get me started on how if the royal familly has all their money and businesses, that MY taxes that I pay for working hard, are paid to those morons who do NOTHING for me!!!

    Knighthood indeed, he can have it. Outdated tacky traditional crap.

  11. What... on Ask mc chris · · Score: 0, Troll

    the hell is this crap doing on slashdot

  12. Your popups will never touch... on Yahoo, Apache, Ebay, Amazon, Netscape Celebrate 10 Year Anniversaries · · Score: 1

    links! :D

  13. Its because... on Mozilla 1.8b1 Released, Firefox Growth Slowing · · Score: 4, Funny

    Its because some people dont like to think their stupid and dont know what theyre doing, and the more you point out to them that you know vastly more - the more theyll stick their heads in the sand. Let them be sypwared and laugh from your open source throne.

  14. Re:What about Linux killing itself... on LinuxWorld Response to 'How to Kill Linux' · · Score: 1

    In case its any help for you, i bought a cedega subscription a week ago after using the cvs for a while. Its really matured, and with hl2 playing merilly on my gentoo install, im gone!

  15. And more to the point.... on Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT · · Score: 1

    when will people stop applying meaningless statistics to things and realise that people have a will of thier own, and if they dont want to do something they wont. What is the benfit of having a 50% (or truly proportional) split of male to female workers in every industry. What is the benefit of splitting every industry perfectly as a ratio of race or hair colour or some other feature. People do what they want, and these statistics arent worth the money people/the government pays for them - i know i wouldnt employ the people making them!

  16. IT is not a catchall industry! on Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ive got to say I agree.

    Far too much people are pushed towards the IT industry. Thats one thing that didnt go away with the dot com.

    When will people learn that the IT industry does not collect all the people youd rather sweep under the rug or cant find an industry they want to work in?

  17. Try this.. on Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT · · Score: 1

    Choose a field that interests you and startup your own company :)

    Thats one of the plans floating around my head for when I graduate

  18. TCO Calculations on Microsoft Will Pay If Its Bugs Damage Your Data · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but when they do their TCO calulations, they can multiply $5 by all the bugs they have....

    WHATS THAT? Windows Server pays you to run it? :D

  19. This guy is an ARSE! on ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers · · Score: 1

    He sounds like a spoilt kid that doesnt like the fact that he doesnt understand the internet, so hes lashing out at those who embrace is.

  20. BAH PATENTY NONSENSE! on Microsoft's 'IsNot' Patent Continued... · · Score: 2

    I refuse to acknowledge all these silly software patents, and will continue to program whatever the hell I want.

  21. But... on American View On Korean Broadband Leadership · · Score: 1

    Look at the UK.

    Here I pay £30 a month, which according to yahoo finance would be around $60. I have a 1024/256k line and thats a normal price to pay. A LOT of people here have 512/256k or lower internet connections, and there appear to be no plans to increase speed about 2048/256k, which I will be upgrading to soon (for around $80 a month).

  22. l33t h4x0rs? on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    You mean they bundle WinRAR with AOL???

  23. ARJ! x4 on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    The compression format of legends. If I remember correctly though, you had to use some annoying ARJ decompressing software cos nothing else would read it!

  24. Gimme a sec... on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    Yep, I'll open that freep0rn.jpg.exe.runme using wine and then... omg i got a virus :D

  25. ..kapow! on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 0

    Then they deserve everything they get. I couldnt care less if some idiot messes up their pc, or a company that didnt pay to get the right staff to police their network gets a virius. Simple as that.
