  1. Re:Surprising, this is not... on Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X · · Score: 1
    you'll be using worse quality parts than Dell does

    Cheaper isn't necessarily worse, although price is certainly a good guide. It depends what you want. If you already have a keyboard and mouse, there's a saving straight away....

    and won't have the software you get with the Dell

    This is Slashdot. Our software is Free :-)

  2. Re:record company executives on Extending Pop Music Copyrights · · Score: 1

    And, frothing with vast swathes of irony, your link points to a site which is illegally publishing the entirety of a copyrighted work.

    Bravo sir, bravo!

  3. Re:I don't get... on Monty Python's SPAMalot Wins 5, no 3 Tony Awards · · Score: 1

    I said it was a recurring joke. And gave one example. Yours is another.

  4. Re:I don't get... on Monty Python's SPAMalot Wins 5, no 3 Tony Awards · · Score: 1

    Actually it's a recurring joke from the original movie of The Holy Grail.

  5. Re:The main issue on MPAA Cracking Down on TV Torrent Sites · · Score: 1

    London is not the UK. Try going out into the countryside down the road from my house and even getting a signal on your mobile phone...

  6. Re:The main issue on MPAA Cracking Down on TV Torrent Sites · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So how about the new series of Doctor Who, aired on the BBC (so no advertisements)?

    Can I, as a license paying Brit, download episodes which have already been broadcast without fear of legal action?

  7. Re:the reason on Goblet of Fire Teaser Trailer Released · · Score: 3, Informative
    there's been a new director for every film so far

    Not true.

    Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were both directed by Chris Columbus (this one, not that one).

  8. Locales on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unfortunately there's no British English version of 1.0.4 yet.

    It'll appear in the list of locales here when it's ready, but it looks like we limeys are stuck with 1.0.3 (or speaking American English) until then.

  9. Re:Server? on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 0

    Sadly it's actually running AIX, according to TFA.

  10. iTunes on Organizing MP3s and Other File Collections? · · Score: 0

    iTunes.

    Next?

  11. Re:you're missing the obvious answer... on Work Samples and the Non-Disclosure Agreement? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't recommend this.

    If you show them code that you wrote under NDA, and they can see that you're wilfully ignoring the contract with your former employer, then why wouldn't they assume you'd be just as prepared to ignore any parts of their contract?

    It shows you to be an untrustworthy employee, with scant regard for contracts. Whether this is true or not, you don't want to advertise it in your interview.

  12. No thanks on U.S. to Require Passport To Re-Enter Country · · Score: 1
    The tougher new rules still allow Canadians to cross without being fingerprinted, but every person from any other country will be required to submit to fingerprinting.

    This Brit will find somewhere else to take his tourist money then.

    Honestly, the US economy is dying on its arse as it is - I'm surprised they're even bothering to invent new ways of stopping people bringing dollars to America...

  13. Re:free goodies! on Paris Hilton Recruited to Publicize Linux · · Score: 1
    I also heard that the next Debian installs will include Paris' latest video and her hacked TMobile phonebook by default.
    And it'll be released sometime in 2015!
  14. Re:Um...WTFN? on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Your standards-compliant code should work fine in NS4.

    That is, it should degrade gracefully, with the content still accessible to all. If it doesn't look so pretty, then so be it. Content is king.
