  1. Re:After a few... on Winemaker Drinks To Linux · · Score: 1

    After the sixth glass, you'll re-experience glasses six through one, and will experience a very productive Perl coding session in the process.

    Infinite loop? We'll be coding Perl until death...

  2. What it REALLY means... on Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time · · Score: 1

    Is 0.64% of users switched to Opera.

  3. Re:easy! on Modded Hybrid Cars Get Up to 250 MPG · · Score: 1

    Not if the engine is off.

  4. Re:easy! on Modded Hybrid Cars Get Up to 250 MPG · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Your car uses a gallon when in neutral?

  5. One question though on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 0

    Where's the any key?

  6. "Australia Says No To Spyware" on Australia Says No To Spyware · · Score: 0

    You mean some countries say yes to spyware?

  7. Re:.xxx is potentially bad news. on ICANN Officially Approves .jobs and .travel TLD's · · Score: 0

    I think this is a great idea.

    However if some form of illegalisation of non .xxx domains for porn takes place, I'd specifically make it for sites that are near-purely for adult porn content, and I'd make it for domains registered past a certain point (i.e. other people get to wait until theirs expire). I know that's opinionated, but I'm sure people are smart enough to tell the difference between a message board and one picture of a topless woman, and a porn site with "Free tour" in big point-72 letters.

  8. Re:Maybe Not Forever on How Long Do You Want Digital Media To Last? · · Score: 0

    You have pr0n of your grandma!? I'd delete that NOW let alone wait for your kids to see it.

  9. Not only do we have a delay.. on UK Leads in TV Show Downloading · · Score: 0

    Sometimes we get cut down version of the shows, even on DVDs. The "Friends" DVDs sold in the UK are not uncut, are terrible quality and somehow have telecine artifacts (not visible on TVs for obvious reasons). I know that is just one, dead sitcom but this is just an example.

  10. Question is... on Nokia To Use Microsoft Digital Music Software · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Does it play files made with pirated Soundforge?

  11. Re:How many others are screwed? on Court Docs Reveal Kazaa Logging User Downloads · · Score: 1

    Depends on the ISP. The ISP COULD keep logs of which IP belongs to who at what time, when someone aquires an IP, when someone loses an IP etc. Of course this could mean that people on some ISPs are completely safe for either a) not keeping logs or b) not giving the RIAA the logs. Also an ISP may have changed which range of IPs it uses, and thus it'd be untracable as to which ISP the person was on.
