  1. Re:How different is Linux from Windows? on Meet Microsoft's Linux Lab Head Bill Hilf · · Score: 1

    Different enough I hope.
    Thats a bad road to go down.

    You'll have M$ following in SCO's footsteps claiming there is M$ code in the Linux kernel.

    Should keep the legal profession in a job for many years to come.

  2. Mail control on Snails Edge Out ADSL · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean I've got to learn how to write "shell" scripts to run my mail now? And what a boon to tracking spammers. Just follow that slime back to source.

    I hope this invention's got more bandwidth than it's website, else there's goner be some pretty shady buildings. The usual - /.ed again

  4. Re:It looks like it's running through vmware on Solaris 10 Installation and Desktop Walkthrough · · Score: 1

    I bet they didn't get VMWare-tools working though, there's no solaris.iso available yet.

  8. Re:Maintenance Notice on LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    13KB/s and falling - bit like the air pressure on my Karamba weather report. Should finish in time for lunch tomorrow....or maybe the day after.

    Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt
    "Oops another satelite ,best turn down the volts when its just the boss..."

  10. Classify this one! on Huge Star Quake Rocks Milky Way · · Score: 1

    20km across. Is this a star, a planet or an asteroid?

  11. Tesco Region on HP to Region-code Cartridges · · Score: 1

    I beat them to it. My HP region has already changed to Tesco's own brand.

  12. Re:OSS calendaring, finally! on Novell to port Evolution to Windows · · Score: 1

    And they've brought back the weather in the latest Evolution! Something I really missed from 1.4.
    http://codeblogs.ximian.com/blogs/evolution/

    If they get this Windows port right, it might be the "Killer app" we've (as in most but maybe not all) been waiting for.

  13. Re:Any pics yet? on Huygens Probe Lands on Titan · · Score: 1

    Closely followed by a farmer shouting

    Count me in on this one. Works perfectly for vast majority of things. What ad? :)

  16. Get this on Breakthrough In JPEG Compression · · Score: 2, Funny

    So now I get the picture, only smaller!

  17. Re:common logical fallacy on A Working, Quantum-Encrypted Intranet · · Score: 1

    Just how many computers get hacked by physical means, rather than software that justify spending huge amounts on quantum thingies(non-tech!)?
