  1. If.... on Anti-malware Vendors Stare Down Microsoft Threat · · Score: 1

    If you were an established anti-virus, or anti-spyware company, would you honestly be worried?

    Sure Microsoft have the funds. However, Microsoft don't even have a track record as far as AV goes, and their anti-spyware offering left much to be desired as far as I read. Never used it myself.

  2. Re:It's not a bad thing on iPod Update to Address Volume-Level Concerns · · Score: 1

    My point was, we all know smoking is probably the worst thing you can do for you. We all know smoking kills and so on, but we still do it; people are still taking up the habit every day. If the risk is hearing loss, and not death - then the general population will do that even more carelessly.

  3. Firefox Extension on Ask.Com's New Look Competes Well With Google · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's a Firefox extension that adds preview images to search results.

  4. Re:incredible.... on UK Government Passes ID Card Bill · · Score: 1

    I was very few drunk a years ago.

    The police wanted to talk to me about it, and they put me up for the night. They wanted some details though.

    I think this move mainly covers themselves legally, but you can't say it's a bad feature - so long as you can choose to limit it, only if you want, or are a parent. Sometimes it's good to have your earphones loud! The risks are so much less than smoking, but a lot of us still do that.

  6. incredible.... on UK Government Passes ID Card Bill · · Score: 1

    I can't believe they got it that far. However, it's not going to have any lasting effect, it's just another document to fill in. Life's full of those anyway.

    I won't have to worry about this until after 2015, when my passport runs out. They have my DNA though, so I guess I'm already part of the system.

  7. what does it matter? on Diebold Threatens Wary Voting Clerk · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With such an effective president-deciding method as the 'Good Old Boys' network, who needs Diebold anyway?

  8. It's when on Electrical Noise Causing Physiological Stress? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's when the bill comes in that I get headaches and become depressed.

  9. hmmm on Microsoft Joins OpenDocument Alliance · · Score: 3, Informative

    I really can't see Microsoft ever sharing the 'office' market, using universal formats, with any other company but MS.

    PDF is more standard than .doc, in my business experience, for sharing documents intercompany.
    We're stuck with .xls for the forseeable future with spreadsheets though.

  10. advertising? on Facebook On The Block · · Score: 1

    Most of these type of things are paid for by advertising, is there even that much money spent on the internet though?

  11. Free Stuff is great, but.... on Ask Apache Software Chairman Greg Stein · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Free & Open software is great on the most part, but developers need to pay bills too. If all software was free and open, who'd want to learn to make it?
