  1. Re:To OS or not to OS on Is the Dell/Microsoft Alliance Fracturing? · · Score: 0

    The answer is Ubuntu! Free OS, and for those that need it paid technical support it available!

  2. Why doesn't he.. on Jack Thompson Buys Stock in GTA Parent Company · · Score: 1, Funny

    ..just gun down all the share holders... that's what I'd do.

  3. Re:Rogers in Canada Does It on BellSouth Wants to Rig the Internet · · Score: 0

    That sounds like the sort of crap I would say to get an annoying customer off the phone :)

  4. You stole my face! on First Face Transplant · · Score: 0

    The donor has to be alive! How long till someone wakes up in a bath of ice with no face?

    I'm still waiting for my hoary CDs.. hang on am I supposed to re-order for each release?

  6. Re:Can someone explain this to me? on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 0

    OK, the telephone was a Scottish (or Canadian depending on your point of view) invention... do you think Scotland should be in charge of all phone numbers?

  7. Re:It's No Less True on Novell's Releases Linux Usability Testing Videos · · Score: 0

    Of course, there's always multimedia playback, right? The install I liked best so far, Unbuntu, couldn't play anything out of the box. I know it should have been able to, but for whatever reason my install was futzed no matter how many times I reinstalled it. I never could figure out how to make it play videos.

    Ubuntu is 100% FOSS... it doesn't ship with win32 codecs and so won't play much out of the box.

  8. Uh oh... on Yahoo! Mail Superior to Gmail ? · · Score: 0

    .. Yahoo! Mail beta is better than Gmail beta.... time to hit back with Gmail Alpha!

  9. Some people! on The Company Everyone Loves To Hate · · Score: 0

    Comment from TFA Microsoft has changed the world. At this point, the fact that they have such a large percentage of the market is a good thing. It has also guaranteed that English will be the language of the world for many generations to come. Steph, Decatur, Georgia USA Does this dumb feck realise Windows comes in languages other than English?

  10. Why can't they have some fun with the names? on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 0

    Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy

  11. Re:American citizens must use windows... on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 0

    It's not just American government sites. Looking for employment on the UK government site also requires internet explorer! http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/

  12. Re:Downloading isn't evil at all. on Challenging Music Downloading Myths · · Score: 0

    Interesting. If it wasn't for downloading music illegally I may have actually ended up at a Michael Buble show. Close call! Hoorah for p2p!

  13. Re:The US still beats China in the # of total user on China to Top U.S. in Broadband Subscribers · · Score: 0

    Iceland has 186,600 users.. not bad from a population of 279,000!

  14. Who's behind this.. on Thin Client With OSS for Developing Nations · · Score: 1, Funny

    I wonder if Mark Shuttleworth has anything to do with this? What with the Ndiyo being another african word...

  15. Re:Torrent Available on LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    That may be true, but it seems like the original file for the torrent was bad. I just downloaded and got an invalid ISO message, and I'm not the only one!

  16. Re:ISO link on LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Why all this indignation? on Was the Lokitorrent Suit a Hoax? · · Score: 1

    I think music and movies born out of passion and love of making beautiful art are much more appealing than those made for profit.

  18. Re:For any Americans who are reading... on London Nuke Plant Loses 30 Kilos of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    Surely Scotland would be the most logical place.
