  1. Re:The problem of nerve impulse conduction on An Alternate Human · · Score: 1

    Next time I am really cold I'll just do some maths problems to warm up then...

  2. Re:I really like the Swedish constitution on When Free Speech and Foreign IP Law Collide · · Score: 1

    I think its a good thing they sealed the documents, he turned them over only because he knew doing so would require the Swedish goverment to make them accessable, ruining the church's copyright. IMHO They should be ready to stop abuses of what seems like a very good law.

  3. Re:in other news on MySpace Makes it to Top 10 Internet Sites · · Score: 1

    Firefox added 200mb memory and pagefile, but loaded that in like a second. One huge grey square.

  4. I like it on How to Avoid Mobile Phone Interference w/ Speakers · · Score: 4, Informative

    90% of the time it happens just before I get a call/text, so I quite like the early warning.

  5. Re:Couldn't they filter on D-Link Firmware Abuses Open NTP Servers · · Score: 1

    Windows checks with time.windows.com

  6. Re:What I'm looking for is... on What Do You Look For In Screenshots? · · Score: 1

    Because that depends on the reviewers choice? All programs made with current windows APIs should use the theme the user chooses....

  7. Re:Just how pointless this is... on On Apple vs Apple · · Score: 1

    I load up iTunes (to get to the music store) and theres a nice apple logo right at the top in the center, under the iTunes title. Click on the music store and it gets replaced with the 'loading music store' bar, then comes back when its loaded.

  8. Hmm on Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal · · Score: 1

    I dont wanna read all 300+ comments to check, but I for one, welcome our new pink overlords. Just in case you know, it aint been done, anyway time to pass out cause I am drunk and its 2:30 in morning.

  9. Re:Riiiight.. on Google Pages Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Just upload your html and put a link on the 'home' google page, thats the best you are gonna get, because even with an index.html it still goes to your home page when you request the directory.

  10. Re:Still no web standards... on Preview Google's New Search Results Page · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IIRC they do this to save bandwidth, all those "'s add up.

  11. Re:To be honest... on Preview Google's New Search Results Page · · Score: 1

    I think its ugly, they need some padding on the body element....

  12. Re:The Parliament Act. on UK Parliament to be Made Redundant? · · Score: 1

    Because unelected bodies can get on with govening responsibily without worring about the next election, e.g. their continued oppisition to the id card bill TB keeps getting his cronies in the elected body to approve.

  13. Re:Ajax is a flash in the pan on Microsoft Releases Atlas · · Score: 1

    So I took a look and indeed all it appears to do is request a file /mt with the ilocation in the query string, google then returns an image/png. No XML there.

    Here take a lookie at a single image

    Maps image

    So no its not AJAX, just AJAPNG maybe, but whos gonna argue?

  14. Re:Cheap phones are better than $100 laptops on How Great Cheap Phones Never Get to the U.S. · · Score: 1

    I really wish my mobile phone lasted 2 weeks on a single charge, let alone while using it to access librarys of infomation. You are gonna be cranking a phone much more to download a library than cranking a laptop to get it off a CD-ROM.

  15. Re:Well DUH on Analysis of .NET Use in Longhorn and Vista · · Score: 1

    I like notepad, you can use it to write text in, paste text you want to keep from other apps and edit html in a pinch. If you are feeling really fancy you can edit config files or view apache logs. -Ralph

  16. Re:TortoiceCVS on Graphical File Revision Control for Non-Techies? · · Score: 1

    It did.. But that was some kinda drawing tool? and this is a cvs client...

  17. Re:Why you let the citizens arm on Bill Could Restrict Freedom of the Press · · Score: 4, Informative

    Theres a whole bunch of numbers just waiting to be looked up that says a whole lot more innocent Americans get shot than in similar countries that have much tighter firearm laws. Start here http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/TUTORIAL/GU NS/GUNSTAT.html I meanwhile will continue enjoying the tight firearm legislation around here. /me kisses kama goodbye

  18. Cool on Opera 9.0 Fully Passes ACID2 Test · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Cool, but you know I'm happy with Firefox..

  19. Doom! on Adult Gamers and Their Ulterior Motives for Gaming · · Score: 1

    I wonder what they would think of me playing cooperative doom with dad when I was 9?..

  20. Re:Is the lack of drivers... on Breaking Down Barriers to Linux Desktop Adoption · · Score: 1

    One with a totally illogical name I cant remember (totem?). Then I got an error saying it didnt have the right codex, so I rebooted into win XP and left ubuntu gathering dust.

  21. Re:A free solution on Top 10 Strangest MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    So far trying some of the examples that came with that program has given me a headache and little else..

  22. Re:They don't realise language changes. on Literacy Limps Into the Kill Zone · · Score: 1

    Please, its the Queen's English at the moment. In the due course of time when we have a king, then we can call it the King's English.

  23. Re:My pet peeve! on Firefox Memory Leak is a Feature · · Score: 2, Informative

    Firefox 1.5.0.1 under windoze, middle clicking the back button brings up the page in a new tab, and I dont have any tab related extensions installed.

  24. Re:perhaps you should read the news on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 1

    Like the millions of Danish who think all muslims are terrorists just because a silly few are, it works both ways.

  25. Re:it's like this already on Pay-to Play and the Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    "The difference between these "tiers" is transfer quantity. With a "copper tier" account, I could download 250 MB per month, and then they'd ask for more money. With a "silver tier" account, 500MB/month. With a "gold tier", 1GB/month. Price would vary accordingly." Most DSL ISP's do this in the UK (you get charged extra per mb after you exceed the limit). If you RTFA its about restricting your download based on what it is, so 250Mb of p0rn off a P2P network will come alot slower than a 250Mb download from a site that has paid your ISP to give its traffic a higher priority. This is BAD(tm).
