  1. Biology Joke + IT Joke on So You Think Physics is Funny? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A man walks into a bar and asks for a pint of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, and the barman says: That'll be 80p (ATP).

    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that know binary, and those that don't.

  2. Re:I wonder... on Using the Real ntfs.sys Driver Under Linux · · Score: 1

    It's likely to be released before Longhorn, it's might just be stable before Longhorn is stable. But I doubt it is fully stable before Longhorn is released.

    Some of us would count that as unlucky :)

  7. Re:Question on BT's Predictions for the Future · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because when we've been filmed all day long, and then we get stopped in the street, the police still can't work out who we are because we have no ID.

    Actually I think the entire ID argument is a little more complicated. We /do/ have ID. We have birth certificates, natinal insurance cards/numbers, passports, drivers licenses (without photos til recently), death certificates even. But what we don't have is a law telling us to carry them. It is not a crime to not have ID on your person. It is not a crime to not have any form of ID. Indeed, why shold it be a crime, why shold law abiding citizens be forced to carry proof that they are law abiding and not a terrorist, etc etc :)

    We aren't even obliged to carry our driving licenses with us when we drive.

    Oh, and according to the magna carta we can't be forced to build bridges over rivers unless we have an ancient obligation to do so.

    I bet Per Abrahamsen is just flaming himself to try and get sympathy mods.. as surely no sane person could have really meant the above?

    Historically the european defence policy has been 'invade your neighbours', one I am very proud of - am from UK.. so helps that successes outnumber failures.

  11. Re:Immediate full disclosure is best security prac on New IE Holes Discovered · · Score: 2, Funny

    MS Windows and IE are insecure and full of bugs. They will compromise your security. I suggest you stop using them now. ;)

    Awww.. cute... he/she/it almost seems to believe what he/she/it is saying.

  13. Could be worse on Ways to Beat the Telecommuting Blues? · · Score: 1

    Could be /much/ worse. I spent 2 and a half years living where I worked (a boarding school). Plus it was in the middle of nowhere so the only place in reaosnable visiting distance was the pub. We all turned into alcoholics. It was very depressing having the same environment 24/7, the only benefit was friends also living on campus, so it wasn't all lonely.

  14. Re:Better than... on Could Google Be SCO's Next Big Target? · · Score: 1

    Apple are using a bsd core for OS X, not linux. Thus they are safe.

    Keep on giving me your $.02 ... eventually I'll be able to afford one of these faster dvd burners.

  21. Re:Branding, PHP, ASP on The Riches of Open Source · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's because there are a million people employed to do php, and the very few employers who want ASP can't find anyone.
