  2. Re:Sure... on AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks · · Score: 0

    So these laptops aren't about to get hacked any time soon then!

  3. Re:Reminds me on Australian ISPs Asked To Cut Off Malware-Infected PCs · · Score: 0

    Hey I've already got software to do this. Personnal Antivirus - blocks any page saying "Infected site". I can even pay $57 to get it to remove the problem. No worries;-))

  4. Re:Or is it due to time and money? on China Dominates In NSA-Backed Coding Contest · · Score: 0

    ...too busy fighting off hoards of Chinese, Russian and Eastern European hackers and their "products" perhaps.

  5. How to say this? on Europe Funds Secure Operating System Research · · Score: 0

    Is MINIX pronounced my-nix, min-ix or me-nix? Hey thats more choice than Linux already!

  6. The Great Wall of China on Chinese Hackers Targeting NYPD Computers · · Score: 0

    If the Chinese wish to completely refute their involvement at Government level perhaps they could use their "Great Wall" to filter out this traffic. It would appear to be good at stopping users inside China from accessing "un-patriotic" content from elsewhere, so let them show willing here and stop criminal activity from coming out. Until then all Asian (& Eastern European) access to my sites is banned >/dev/null and beyond! Would be 2c worth but the GBP ain't so good after the budget!!!

  7. Days of the Week on Web Browsers Under Siege From Organized Crime · · Score: 0

    Just a little observation having read part of the article - Is a Microsoft Tuesday more vulnerable for having the vulnerabilities announced or maybe because more are introduced?

  8. Re:all the same on Dan Geer's Monoculture Bomb Goes Off · · Score: 0

    No matter how I try to explain that to the missus, she still threatens me with a cheesewire if I think about diversifying

    A new marketing process!

    I must need one of those, where can I get one now................

  10. Re:north = ? on Ship Logs Suggest Upcoming Polar Reversal · · Score: 1, Funny
    The Earth will then have several sets of weak magnetic poles, at various places around the Earth.

    One of which caused Winny the Pooh and his chum Christopher Robin to set out on an expotition to The North Pole......

  11. Crossing the t's and dotting the i's on U.S. to Gain Access to EU Retained Data · · Score: 0
    ......it now looks like the US government will get full access to the data.

    Doesn't this just mean the US Government will just be now getting "official" access to EU data?
    I would guess that a lot of what is now available to them they already have and probably already have data on the data plus more besides.

    Time to get darning the foil hat again. Probes ruining perm.

  12. Need handsfree anyway on Legal Restrictions on Cellphone Use Gain Traction · · Score: 0

    How the hell can these people cope without handsfree anyway. I need both hands free, one for shaving on the way to work, another for my breakfast, another for the mug of coffee, another, sometimes two for sex and several for giving various hand signals to all these idiots on the phone whilst they're driving.

  13. On the up on Google's New Calendar CL2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Google - It just gets Beta and Beta

  14. Re:Great on Spielberg Bitten by DVD Encryption · · Score: 1

    Dangerous game this film stuff.
    Spielberg bitten by DVD. Film industry biting their own hands off.

    Don't they feed these people. A good diet would soon put an end to this.
    And, I'd soon wake up if I was bitten by anyone, including me!

  15. Re:For those who don't want to RTFA, the top 10: on Top 10 Web Fads · · Score: 1

    Then what about Llamas with the odd duck thrown in for good measure? Sods - I'll be humming the damn tune all the way thro' to bedtime now. Steenking badgers alright.

  16. Re:Makes me proud to pay my TV licence on BBC Open Source launched · · Score: 1

    It's almost like I own a bit of this, hey hang on I do.
    But I'll let you borrow it anyhows, 'cos this is licence money well invested for once.

  17. Re:VMware on Google Earth Launching For Free · · Score: 1

    Works fine on mine.
    VMWare 5 on Suse 9.3 with XP Pro as guest.
    Just make sure you choose the OpenGL graphics option.

    Didn't know my house was so blurred when viewed from above.
    Must get the council to see to that!

  18. Re:No Registration! on NY Times On Spam Zombies · · Score: 1

    Who needs registration, we're Slashdotters, just hack your way in. Oops cover blown!

  19. Re:I can't see it either on First Controllable Solar Sail Launched Today · · Score: 2, Funny

    Closest mirror I believe is Hubble Space Telescope, but I may be wrong.

  20. Speak Up on Jamie Zawinski Switches to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    You guys really must speak up when I've got the music blaring out of my Linux box.
    Can't hear a word you're saying!

  21. Re:How are they going to dry those pages? on World's Fastest Inkjet Printer? · · Score: 1

    Easy, with the amount of heat produced by a machine working at that speed the ink wont just be dry, it'll be nice and toasted. Low speed=high quality=lightly done. high speed=draft=charcoal. Farenheit 451 comes to mind here.

  22. Prediction #4 on Apple/Intel Speculation Running Rampant · · Score: 1

    If this comes to pass, M$ are about to one of the biggest kicks to the nuts in history.
    The threat from Linux will be but a pimple compared with Apple venturing into Intel territory.
    Just think, big name, good apps, reliable, secure and geek free pre-packaged "PCs" with Apple inside will make a big dent in M$s revenues.
    Then there's maybe Apple selling the OS to all for a little touch of world domination ;)

  23. Re:Great Technology - badly implemented on BBC Launches Linux Powered Weather Format · · Score: 1

    The BBC has done a terrible job of it- they have made Britain a dull brown colour, (its is quite a green and pleasant land outside London!)

    That wasn't the Beeb it was was a leak from John Prescotts department and eventually the whole country WILL be this colour!

  24. Re:Fight spammers on Hormel Back on The Spam Offensive · · Score: 1

    It was the Vikings who started it. Sue them.

  25. Re:Some Camera on Mars Orbiter Photographs another Mars Orbiter · · Score: 1

    Works beautifully, taking highly detailed pictures of dark things on a matching dark background.

    Not a sign of red eye.
