  1. Re:Wirth's law on Consumers Buy Less Tech Stuff, Keep It Longer · · Score: 1

    My MBP's HDD has lasted 4 years and counting.

  2. Re:A BIT expensive?! on New Apple MacBook Pro Reviewed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Are you comparing a laptop from 1994 to laptops from 2011? Hardly seems fair.

  3. Re:P.S. The photo on Police Raid PS3 Hacker's House, Hacker Releases PS3 'Hypervisor Bible' · · Score: 1

    Hurr. It makes "shocking television" to see a dawn raid on the morning news.

  4. Re:P.S. The photo on Police Raid PS3 Hacker's House, Hacker Releases PS3 'Hypervisor Bible' · · Score: 1

    If police are doing a raid they often do get a photographer from a newspaper to photograph it, usually for when they do anti-drug raids to discourage people from committing those crimes, lest their houses get raided too.

  5. Re:What is the big deal? on Wikileaks Opens Official Online Store · · Score: 1

    I wish I had the mod points to mod this up. Sick of people going nuts calling Assange a media whore. Like he enjoys being called a rapist in newspapers around the world.

  6. Re:Only buy PDF, ePUB or another open standard on E-Book Lending Stands Up To Corporate Mongering · · Score: 1

    Well I didn't elect them, I'm English, we don't have DMCA.

  7. Re:Only buy PDF, ePUB or another open standard on E-Book Lending Stands Up To Corporate Mongering · · Score: 2

    Who cares if it is illegal? You bought it, you do what you want with it. It's not immoral in my opinion to do so.
      The police are hardly likely to break down my door if i'm stripping DRM for my own devices, so it's under the same category as ripping a CD in effect.

  8. Re:Bread not working? on Kilogram Gets Controversial; Why Not Split the Difference? · · Score: 2

    Bread price in the UK can vary by shop you insensitive clod!

  9. Re:Don't forget the WebOS on MicroHP — the New IT Giant? · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it. and then they stop supporting your scanner for no reason at all!

    Do yourself a favour. Uninstall the software and get a copy of Vuescan

    I know I sound like a shill to others, but you know how much HP's Mac software sucks.

  10. Re:Security Questions Security Risk on Man Mines Facebook For Security Questions, Nabs Nude Photos From Email · · Score: 1

    Well that's just one method I know of, there may be others.

  11. Re:Security Questions Security Risk on Man Mines Facebook For Security Questions, Nabs Nude Photos From Email · · Score: 2

    You can contact valve and scan a couple of CD keys to prove it's your account I think.

  12. Re:Status Bar??? on Firefox 4 Beta 9 Out, Now With IndexedDB and Tabs On Titlebar · · Score: 2

    Handily you can also do cmd+/ to toggle it.

  13. Re:It's for his own protection... on Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes · · Score: 1

    Because nobody got shot as a result of it?

    Also the map in 2004 used archery or dartboard style targets, not rifle crosshairs.

  14. Re:Competition on For Mac Developers, Armageddon Comes Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    That's interesting because Apple might not let OpenOffice or NeoOffice into the store. Does oo.org still have Java components to it?

    I don't know about WoW but Apple are putting their iWork suite up there day 1.

  16. Re:What games? on Seller of Counterfeit Video Games Gets 30 Months · · Score: 1

    Console games.

  17. $10 on Examining Indie Game Pricing · · Score: 1

    Seriously, that's the price. So many indie games try to push for $15 or $20 and there's just something in my mind that refuses to even consider it, or considers it far too steep.

    Even though rationally I can say "well it's just $5 difference" for some reason I baulk at the price.

  18. Re:Releases. on Minecraft Reaches Beta Status, Price Goes Up · · Score: 2

    Surely the darkness is intentional? Make torches to light up dark areas.

  19. Re:not surprised on Yahoo! To Close Delicious · · Score: 1

    Digg is collapsing.

  20. I used to donate. on Should Wikipedia Just Accept Ads Already? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Every year I used to donate what I could, £5, £10, or £15 but I got so pissed off with the deletionist attitude of the last year or two I just won't give anymore. I'm sick of remembering articles, going to check them and they're gone and yet stupid shit like "List of Catgirls" manages to stay.

    The most annoying thing with deletionist attitudes is that it doesn't even make sense. The less popular an article is the less resources i.e. bandwith it uses

  21. Re:Some people do not even watch TV on Internet Usage Catches Up With Television In US · · Score: 1

    Glad to hear you're ok area man!

  22. Re:Sounds good to me on OpenLeaks — 'A New WikiLeaks' · · Score: 1

    Is this some American cable news narrative about Assange that i'm not aware of? Every time I read comments regarding wikileaks on American sites someone mentions his ego.

    What makes you think he is such a narcissist?

  23. It was pneumonia sadly... on Actor Leslie Nielsen Dies at 84 · · Score: 5, Funny

    the doctors said it was 50/50, but there was only a 10% chance of that.

  24. Re:attacked by whom? on WikiLeaks Under Denial of Service Attack · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bloody 7 digit UID members are getting uppity.

  25. Re:Usefulness of Light Peak? on New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology · · Score: 1

    Because it means the size of the laptop can be greatly reduced as the chassis no longer has to account for a hard drive bay.
