    I always thought K denoted degrees Kelvin.

  2. Re:Buy it on Experience with Fighting Domain Farming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, make it worth their time to continue clogging up the internet?

  3. Don't you mean... on US Slips Again In Freedom of the Press Ranking · · Score: 5, Funny

    This post has definately not been censored by anyone, especially anyone in government.

    P.S. I love America.

  4. Re:A 160-kilometer link? on New Data Transmission Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Point is - it's fairly obvious that 2.56 Tb/s = 2,560,000,000,000 b/s thanks to the wonders of the metric system.

  5. A 160-kilometer link? on New Data Transmission Speed Record · · Score: 3, Funny

    Equivalent to 160,000 metres and 160,000,000 millimetres!

  6. Re:WORST POST! on Newly Formed Solar System · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    EVER! (?)

  7. The other 25%... on Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    are just ripping their own CDs, simple.

  8. Re:Netscape 4 to IE 5 on History of Netscape and Mozilla · · Score: 5, Funny

    Once Foxfire became stable and usable I switched to it, and some time later it became Firefox. Oh yeah? Well I'm such a hardcore, ultra to the maxx, mozilla fan that I was using Firefox back when it was called Oxireff!

  9. One (perhaps four) Word(s) (Plus some others) on Four GPU Motherboard · · Score: 1

    OMFG. I fear the day when we see the return of VooDoo 6000 (http://home.tiscali.be/silvio/voodoo/images/V5-60 00.jpeg) style graphics cards.

  10. Re:GST = on eBay sellers Told to Include GST · · Score: 1

    which is a tax on all "nonessential" items. Including tampons and textbooks.

  11. I'm not sure which is more amusing... on Wave Powered Generator to Power Homes · · Score: 1

    The parent, or the fact that parent was modded informative.

  12. Just a question... on Open Document Format Approved · · Score: 1

    What's the difference between this new format and the one the OpenOffice.Org uses? Isn't it open? Or these two the same, and I'm just not comprehending?

  13. Re:Not That Bad on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: 1

    Haymarket didn't do anything to develop the community. AJB Publishing (the original owners) were bought out a few months ago and there's been nothing but bother since. Just to clarify.

  14. Re:Tor on Azureus Decentralizes Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm sure the RIAA isn't going to be suing any major infrastructure providers in the near future, but one would wonder if Tor falls under the same category. Willingful ignorance isn't a very strong legal defence.

  15. Yeah, but where's the Spyware on Azureus Decentralizes Bittorrent · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't think Exeem has anything to worry about.

  16. State Governments Still Lagging Behind on .gov.au Guide to Open Source Software · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Particularly in the education sector. As a student at a Queensland State School, I have no other choice than to use Windows boxes, with Word and Internet Explorer. Not because it's easier for the admin to set up (and let's face it, most school admins are a bit dim), but because Education Queensland has a contract with Microsoft to teach me about Microsoft products. We get advertisements about special deals on Office, frequent assignments (in the junior school) centred around PowerPoint and our ANZAC day ceremony was nothing more than two "Presentations" and a trumpeteer. Why is it that the Liberal (not actual liberals) government is buying into Open Source, while Labor is siding with Microsoft?

  17. About bloody time Australia on .gov.au Guide to Open Source Software · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally we don't look like a bunch of flaming drongos.

  18. Well, on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: 1

    As a long time user of atomic, it's quite easy to see when things started to go pear shaped. A few months ago, the previously Australian owned magazine was bought out by a British company (Haymarket). The immediate effect was more advertising on the forums, and a drop in the mag's quality. Now, they've left 35000 users waiting for the next version of the site, only to be severly let down by this. It wouldn't be such a problem, but the site has been significantly rooted.
