  2. Re:Year of Linux on the Desktop? on Ubuntu Ports To ARM · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A mere 10 bn processors shipped - yes, only 1e10. Wusses.

    AAAARRRRGH!

  6. Re:Use Laptops on Remote Access Policies · · Score: 1

    Same policy here - only I can install exactly what I want on my work laptop, so in practice it is the *exact same config* as my home one - Ubuntu 8.04. So, I'm allowed to use one but not the other of two identical frickin' laptops. Go figure.

  7. Re:Moving to India? Forget it on As Seas Rise, Maldives Seek To Buy a New Homeland · · Score: 3, Informative

    A plague on both your houses - and on the people who modded up this partisan bullshit. 1. There has been plenty of Hindu on Muslim violence since independence, and 2. not all Muslims are terrorist, for fuck's sake.

  8. like clubbing a staked-out bunny... on OpenOffice Vs. Google Apps · · Score: 1

    ...but not as fun.

  9. Re:Try YouMail... on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    I like to feel I'm worth a little more than 10 cents - you insensitive clod!

  10. Re:Only the first step... next : Wiki! on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 1

    i is in ur budget, fixing ur unsustainable spending polices

  11. M-x shell on (Stupid) Useful Emacs Tricks? · · Score: 1

    gets you into this wicked adventure. I've collected all the good items, but I've yet to defeat the bad guy at the end of the subnet.

  12. Re:What is next ? on (Stupid) Useful Emacs Tricks? · · Score: 1

    to girl on her own at the bar: "Can I buy both of you a drink?"

  13. Re:A crack on The Real Story On WPA's Flaw · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's right to make a fuss of this. It's wrong to suggest the WPA (or, by unsaid extension) WPA2 are "broken". Even if they were, we have no viable alternative just yet, anyway, so you're stuffed. :-)

    Er, they have found a weakness in TKIP in WPA1 which is not present when using WPA2/AES. It covers all this in the Ars Technica article.

  14. Re:How? on Ballmer "Interested" In Open Source Browser Engine · · Score: 1

    Oh, but ActiveX is a very good reason to use Linux.

  15. Re:God damn on UK Outlines Plan For Internet Black Boxes · · Score: 1

    (I'm a liberal at heart, but christ, have you seent the libdems policies?)

    to be honest, I'd vote Monster Raving Loony if they were second place to Labour in my consituency.

  16. publicvpn.com ? on UK Outlines Plan For Internet Black Boxes · · Score: 1

    These guys seem to offer a public VPN service - anyone got any experience, or know of something on a lower latency path from UK? (e.g. VPN servers situated in mainland Europe).

  17. Re:Elections on UK Outlines Plan For Internet Black Boxes · · Score: 1

    Labour: making Tory policies look halfway sensible since ages ago.

    I'll be voting against Labour come the next election and I look forward to telling them why if they come knocking. I would write to my MP, but being a Lib Dem I know he will be opposed to this moronic plan anyway.

  18. Re:Anti-White Racism in the Afro Community on Bill Joy For New National CTO Post? · · Score: 1

    95% of African-Americans voted for Obama.

    The alternative hypothesis is that they're just smarter than you.

    civil partnerships, does that count?

    Might get it confiscated, but won't go any further unless you're selling.

    We in the rest of the world sympathise deeply with the plight of the white minority who are regularly oppressed by the rich, powerful black oligarchs.
