  1. Re:Sweet on More Massive Layoffs at AOL · · Score: 1

    Even if it doesn, that September won't end now :-/

  2. Re:Vista makes it worse, actually... on Spanish Region Goes Entirely Open Source · · Score: 1

    I don't know what is meant by computer curriculum but I have been very impressed by extremadura using Squeak in their schools. There's a video about it on google groups.

  3. can someone tell me on Knock Some Commands Into Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    What was the original intention of this accelerometer sensor gizmo?

  4. Re:Come on guys.. on Lead PHP Developer Quits · · Score: 1

    It's called a figure of speech you dumbass.

  5. Re:The Challenge For OSS On Windows on OSS on Windows the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why an average user would need anything more than abiword and perhaps gnumeric.

  6. What's bad about it? on Army to Require Trusted Platform Module in PCs · · Score: 1

    Can someone explain to me what's bad about this Trusted Platform thing? Is it a windows thing only or would it be in linux too? Does it relate to Microsoft's trustworthy computing? Thanks.

  7. Allow me to say on President Bush Blocks NSA Wireless Tapping Probe · · Score: 0, Troll

    The US: the new banana republic. Generalissimo El Busho indeed and his legal enabler Gonzales. Congrats; Europe and Canada no longer consider you civil enough. How could bullshit like this fly with your voters? It only flies because you're not a civil enough nation. Not when most of your population take their voting fatwas regardless from the likes of Falwell and poverty is believed to be evidence of divine disapproval. What self-aggrandising fucks; "I drive an SUV because I deserve it!". Thank goodness I live in godless old Europe.

  8. Re:"Favorites button" on Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9 · · Score: 1

    You can customise the toolbar in firefox to put a bookmarks button that opens up a whole sidebar for them.

  9. p2p on Netflix Users Experience Paradox of Abundance · · Score: 1

    I had exactly the same issue with p2p. I stopped watching movies, keeping up with music, or reading ebooks. Too much stuff on there, too much downloaded, so little motivation to do anything but just do something else altogether.

  10. Can download it for free? on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Is there a catch?

  11. On topic book on Virtual Reality Gaming System Tests for Telepathy · · Score: 1

    This book seems to be on topic http://tinyurl.com/jjb4g

  12. i do i do on 'Bad' Protein Linked to Numerous Health Problems · · Score: 0, Redundant

    i think i have that bad protein.

  13. Re:Limited Use on 'Roll Your Own News' DVDs Now Shipping · · Score: 1

    Yes. Researchers are just about the only segment I can think who'd use this service. Also, the "did you see me on TV?" crowd too.

  14. Re:"Test Alerts" My Ass on DHS to Send Widespread Alerts · · Score: 1

    Political campaigns these days run into hundreds of millions or even into the billions. Perhaps Warren Buffet has that much money to throw away but I don't think he'd want to be trashtalked.

  15. Re:Space college? on Inflatable Private Space Station Launched · · Score: 1

    College is about more than just beer bongs.

  16. Re:Female/Female Reproduction on Mice Produced Using Artificial Sperm · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't. Most females prefer cock.

  17. The most important question about a 'droid' on DARPA Developing 'Droid' Satellites · · Score: 1

    Is it paranoid? You see...

    I once had a droid
    that was paranoid
    as much as i tried
    tried hard to avoid
    upsetting my droid
    it shook, screeched and buzzed
    and stared into the void
    i told him "hey, chill!"
    my pretty boy and droid
    I crooned, shook and danced
    and I played him pretty tunes
    from andrew weber loyd
    oh i got that name wrong
    but whatever heck nevermind
    oh i'm so very annoyed
    where is his warranty card
    he got me, too, paranoid
    let's take his ass to shop
    before he had deployed
    newfangled nasty tech
    alarms, weapons and toyed
    with my skin, flesh and bones
    he's no longer employed
    in my service and joy
    i had not at all enjoyed
    no way hey fucking way heck no
    this paranoid damn fucking droid

  18. Beta candidate? on Firefox 2.0 'Beta Candidate 1' Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    As if alpha, beta, and RC weren't enough?

  19. Does anyone know? on Tsunami Warning System Up and Running · · Score: 1

    Wast the boxing day tsunami the deadliest day in human history? Has there ever been a day in which more people died? which day was that? Any idea?

  20. Re:SLES/SLED on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a Closer Look · · Score: 1

    Who modded you insightful?! Go to osvids and have a look at SLED videos. It's not the same as opensuse. The 10.1 you have is an opensuse.

  21. Simple on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1

    The way it has survived previous resource scarcity;.... War.

  22. Re:Linux having more manpower devoted to it than M on WinFS' Demise Not a Bang Or a Whimper · · Score: 1

    That's not a reasonable comparison. Anyone can install linux from a free download or even a free CD. That's not the case for OSX.

  23. Re:What does this mean? on Gangs on the Internet · · Score: 1

    I think it's about police departments, gangs, and websites.

  24. What about India on Does It Matter Where Open Source is Based? · · Score: 1

    This map makes me wonder about India. I have the impression that India is a big, big open source consumer, yet it seems there's not much OSS coming out of it, eventhough it has millions of programmers. Why?

  25. Re:Please on UK Gives Go-Ahead to Gary McKinnon Extradition · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What punishment do you think would fit the crime of someone walking into your unlocked front door wanting to get a look at your collection of potato chips? would you be justified if you wanted him hung, drawn and quartered to make an exmaple of him? It seems that the essence of the case against him for extradition is the doutful claim that he caused criminal damages estimated at $700,000 (that's $5,000 per PC), and for that he faces 60 to 70 years in an American prison. This all the while the Enron guys caused billions upon billions of real, indisputable damage to poor folks and were dealt not even a fraction of the imprisonment per dollar he's facing. In the UK this oddball would almost certainly face some counselling or cummunity service, whereas in the US he... fuck it, I don't even consider the US a civilised nation after Gitmo and "extraordinary rendition". You guys had that shitface Ashcroft and now you have that shitface Gonzalez.
