    Whta colour is "dutch"?? LOL!

    Why, it is ALL COLOURS!

    And as I recall, they have a pretty good scouring cleanser too.
    So just be careful with your comments!

    But after viewing the little girl on the above website who "wants to grow up to be a princess..", alas I fear, she will grow to wear a bhurka, given the Dutch rate of reproduction.

    BS.

    Films and television shows are ALWAYS being made about these kooks.
    For the last half-century.

    Of late I haven't heard of any crazed Baptists sawing off heads of Canadian or European film crews.
    Or American film producers either.
    Try and a do an Ismlamic version of "Inherit the Wind" in the middle east.
    Or better yet, LOL! - get Scorcese to re-do "The Last Temptation of Muhammed"

    if a film incites violence against ex-adherents of Islam, (apostates) and people who publish evil Danish Cartoons then a ban (and prosecution of those responsible) is the right move. And hopefully, some head-lopping.

  7. All this is meaningless to me! on Canadian Regulator CRTC Saves Independent ISPs · · Score: 1

    All this shit is meaningless to me.

    Last mile of copper? HA!
    The last 4 miles of copper is mostly buried underground on a rotting wire.
    The last HALF-MILE is above ground (if you can call it that) ever since a large tree brought down the hydro wires and the bell wire two years ago.

    Within 2 hours the Hydro-Quebec guy came by, took a look and said the truck would be by in the morning to fix it. They did exactly that.
    The Bell min-wage outsourcing company? They came by 3 days later, after I had gone out into the woods and repaired the damn copper wire myself. AND I actually used a phone in the woods to call 611 repair service. TWO YEARS AGO!
    They never did any repairs. Two years later, the phone line is still lying on the ground, partly under water in a swamp, and with my electricians tape still on it. Somehow, I still manage to pull 35Kbs - a bit slower than I did TEN YEARS AGO!

    Fuck Bell.

  16. Why not use HYDROGEN? on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 1

    Why not just siphon out some of that HYDROGEN from your car's gas tank and use it to power a small portable fuel-cell to power your lamp.

    Forget this silly LED stuff. Lots of power from groovy new HYDROGEN!
    Heck we'll all be using these HYDROGEN vehicles in the next five years!
    But be careful- don't burn your lips when you suck the wonderful clean HYDROGEN out of the gas tank!

    If you buy a machine with Ubuntu pre-installed, then presumably the wireless should 'just work' on that too.

    Yes, but if I installed a fresh Vista on a blank machine, I bet Vista wouldn't have any problems recognizing the device and configuring itself to work quickly.
    In all fairness, I know these wireless (and other) device manufacturers provide their drivers to work with Windows- that's where their bread&butter is.
    It would be nice for Atheros and others to provide at least SOME support for Linux users!
    But who knows... perhaps Gates&co. peridically twist their arm, or more likely, provide $incentive$...
