  1. Inflation must be bad in Russia... on A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant? · · Score: 1
  2. Re:The weakest link on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 1

    But on this system, you get 1Gb/sec upload, which means torrenting can function much better between the clients - reducing the issue of poor server bandwidth.

    With most people on ADSL, the 448k upload speed is quite a cap when everyone can potentially download at 8Mb/sec (here in the UK at least)

  3. What good is an 'online' music player... on Songbird Source Released · · Score: 1

    ...if it doesn't support a proxy server?

    At least, version 0.1 didn't, and it certainly wasn't copying my IE or FF settings properly, if at all.

    Let's hope they fix it this time round.

  4. Re:National Lambda Rail? on Internet2 Gets a New Backbone · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find you go ON A rail to launch said satellite. ;)

  5. Re:GAH!!! on The Cure for Information Overload · · Score: 1

    It seems to get to here, then starts looping.

    There's ten minutes I'll never get back.

  6. Re:ACID 2.0 Test on Internet Explorer Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    I think the parent was joking. Why else sign as Firefox Fan?

  7. WOW! on Intel's Conroe Previewed and Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    " hey, their stock financed the car i am driving right now "

    You post on slashdot while driving? Whoa!

  8. But where would you use it? on Apple Publishes Ruby On Rails Tutorial · · Score: 1

    How many web hosts offer Ruby? In fact, how many web hosts run OSX? I can see this working on your own computer, for things like their example in the tutorial, and maybe for an app within a corporation but on the web there doesn't seem to be a feasible application for it. There's more truth than you think in ObsessiveMathsFreak's funny post. ch424

  9. Don't be silly... on The Ultimate Dual-Hand Touchscreen · · Score: 1

    nobody wants to buy your appendix. ;)

  10. Re:Formula For Success? on Apple Surpasses Dell's Market Value · · Score: 2, Informative

    FYI just tried this in England, with same core specs (CPU, RAM, HDD, DVDRW, wifi, bt) Dell having 17", much higher res screen, and 7800 Graphics, free printer. The Dell was £1555 and the Apple was £1779.

    So Dell does still have the value edge. Of course this doesn't take weight, thickness into account.

  11. Re:Ok all you web designers out there .... on Windows Guru Calls For IE7 Boycott · · Score: 1

    People who do this are fucking morons whose content probably isn't worth viewing: at school we can only use IE and I'm sure its much the same for millions of bussiness users. It's not funny at all when you can't view a page because the dick who made it ensured it didn't render. Also, there are the people who claim their code doesn't work with IE: that not because IE is backward is any way; it's because they're lazy dolts who can't be bothered to make their site work. People should boycott boycott sites, not IE7.

  12. Re: Of Course -- People could get used to... on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 2, Funny

    using Linux by learning to setup a Cron job to start Openoffice an hour before they get to work, so that it's just about ready when they arrive!

  13. Re:The best part... on Rise of the Professional Blogger · · Score: 1

    It works fine for me here, using firefox 1.0.2 (hmmm, I need to update!) and ubuntu 5.04.

  14. Re:First Virus to take advantage of this... on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    Only if Microsoft decide to make their software render itself as a video!

  15. Why switch if on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    the G5 is so clearly more powerful than its rivals?

    Oh, maybe because it's only more powerful if you test rival systems with different software.

  16. "the beginning of the end".... on Microsoft Ends Era Of Closed File Formats · · Score: 1

    it could mean the beginning of the end of Microsoft's proprietary file formats

    I look forward to seeing the xml version of wmv!
