    Do you even know what electrolytes are?

  2. "..is heightening worries among scientists.." on Drugs In Our Drinking Water · · Score: 1

    Surely all the benzos in the water will help with that?

  3. Woo!?! on The 'Malware Economy' Evolves · · Score: 1

    ..a txtspk version for the CLI?

  6. Re:Not surprised... on PC Superstore Admits Linux Hinge Repair Mistake · · Score: 1

    i'm amazed that a pc world customer had heard of linux, nevermind installed it.

    Too right! It has to say something about how ready linux is for the ordinary person when someone who buys from PC World can install and run it.

    Unless it was Linspire, of course.
  7. "and even look for employment" on Social Networks At A Crossroads · · Score: 5, Funny

    ..with the amount of employers looking through social network sites for information on employees...surely that should be "and even look for unemployment"?

  8. Any chance of... on iPhone Likely Set to Launch in the UK Next Week · · Score: 1

    ...not having all the hype again? Not that I don't appreciate just about every other article being about something with 'i' in the front of it, mind.

    Ooo..I'm really looking forward to them porting that one

    The video and the talk of replicating made me think of this

    For god's sake, KILL IT!

  11. Re:Aren't we already photographed repeatedly? on Police Given Access to Congestion-Charge Cameras · · Score: 1

    Terrorists are well known to avoid most CCTV cameras, but brazenly flout congestion charge rules.

  12. Re:Not entirely true, but .... on The Future of Closed Source Software and Linux · · Score: 1

    You mean like..say..200+ Wine patches or paying for a bunch of people to work on FOSS code all summer?

    Nah, washing machines, hoovers and kitchen sinks aren't exempt from VAT.

    Well, if it makes it easier to create programs that'll sync between phone and linux OSes then I'd be pleased...

    *Reboots to XP to sync WM5 again*

  15. Re:Quote from a play nobody else has ever seen on Prof Denied Funds Over Evolution Evidence · · Score: 1

    Is IQ, the meaningless and frequently circular measurement that it is, not assumed to be normally distributed then?

  16. Re:The Process on Microsoft Says Recovery From Malware Becoming Impossible · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shirley you mean, 1) Post bad "underpants gnome" style joke on /. 2) ???? 3) Karma! ;)

  17. Re:Google earth?? on Google Windows Apps Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    Read the end of the article - they are rumoured to be porting Talk over.

  18. Re:An interesting thing on Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them" · · Score: 1

    Just because people on Slashdot joke about it does not make it true. There are lots of jokes about Scotsman and sheep, but that does not mean sheep buggery is common and universal in Scotland. Duh.

    Nah, that's the Welsh

    A rat with 5957 Comments in two days - impressive ;)

    Have you noticed that most people have only started posting recently too?

    ..or Oolite as long as you don't use Windows.

    Its quite good!

  21. Worth noting.. on Google Firefox Toolbar Out Of Beta · · Score: 5, Informative

    ..that google suggest is available as a seperate extension (and is quite useful)

  22. Re:Great News for Standards Compliance on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    Percentage of total visits - a n% shift is the same whether thats IE or Konqueror.

  23. Re:Great News for Standards Compliance on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    I agree - from my own site stats, it seems like there are those people who stick with IE and those who use other browsers (its 99% Windows users). When the Opera free licence came out last time (the one-day, birthday offer thingy) I saw more of a change in firefox % than IE. Not that it was a huge drop anyway

    Its good news anyway..more choice and competition and all that.

    Ho Hum

  24. Re:I wish this was a joke on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am sure 'malicious workers' already have rights of access to files of vulnerable children. Putting everything in one database could make it easier to secure and to track who has access to such files (rather than on multiple smaller local authority databases).

  25. Re:Open Office on A Look At MS's MA Talking Points · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its not about openoffice particularly, its about having an open document format so that organisations can choose which office suite they think best suits without being concerned about whether they'll be able to send/receive properly formatted files.
