    Why is he suing only Apple? Cause he wanted to make the /. homepage, silly.

  2. Re:I know what to use those for on The Optimus Mini Keyboard · · Score: 1

    yea but there are only three keys :) besides, 2 is cheating, the lil' low(vaue) scumbag, unlike 2^30402457-1 (cant get that to display properly) which is a little bit bigger.

  3. Re:MS flip flop on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta · · Score: 1

    I'd scream at my computer (more) if I couldnt browse with tabs. I have my shift and tab keys worn down to shiny smoothness.

  4. I know what to use those for on The Optimus Mini Keyboard · · Score: 5, Funny

    The 3,5 and 7 keys, making this my optimus prime keyboard.


    I'm so sad.

  5. Re:Chavs today, punks yesterday. on Loss of Applied IQ Among UK Youth? · · Score: 1

    There is nothing redeeming to be said about chavs as they're not defined by where they live, who their parents are, the colour of their skin or their sexual orientation. It's what they do (i.e nothing) that makes them Chavs.

  6. Re:Wired article a few years back on Scientific Brain Linked to Autism · · Score: 1

    I remember the article, though I think it was more like last year, not 2002. Sorry I don't have a link.

  7. Re:Question: on Phones And Skype Get Together · · Score: 1

    Yea but the cost of the infrastructure is slashed severely by this method, therefore the cost to the customer might be an extra 2-3 on their broadband connection bill because the ISPs have increased, (but not drastically increased )loads on their networks.

    Definition

    vermin
    plural noun
    1 small animals and insects that can be harmful and which are difficult to control when they appear in large numbers:

    2 OFFENSIVE DISAPPROVING people who are unpleasant and harmful to society:
    He thought all terrorists were vermin and that prison was too good for them.

    If you ask me, there are few better words to describe chavs.

  9. Re:Right is not Right on Bill Gates Defends Google's Censorship In China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course, in his role as a human rights activist, Gates *only* gave Six Hundred Million dollars to help eradicate TB, that's all.

  10. Ah FFS on Sony Kills off Aibo, Qrio, Qualia · · Score: 1

    Damnit I was hoping to eventually have enough spare cash around to eventually buy an Aibo and start programming the lil' bugger and stuff (basically as a cool as hell toy), but this kinda puts a dampener on things.

    How much money (proportionally) could Sony really have been spending on this thing? Sony's electronics division looks as though it may be about to make a killing on in the HD DV cam market (I'm buying one :o) ) and so on, so why tighten the belt?

    Profit mongers.

    And also why the Irish economy is kicking the British economy's ass. Britain is in decline, while Ireland and much of europe is in the ascendency.

    Yea, Steve Jobs doesn't get out of bed for less than $3.5 million. Unless he's got mail.

  14. Re:Plan for Profit! on Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse · · Score: 1

    Duh, it was sold for $7.4 BILLION dollars- seve jobs only put in a couple of hundred million back in the day so it makes him about a 1000 percent profit. Read the fuckin' article.

    Heh, I think there are a few mechanisms that you guys can think of.

  16. Windows fans? on IE7 Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    "some Windows fans took matters into their own hands when"

    Windows having fans? I believe the term is microsoft employees and fanboys

    Huh, depsite being set up , my hotmail spam filter has never, ever caught a single piece of the 5-6 spams I get a day.

    In contrast, gmail has a 100% hit rate on identifying my spam and not junking my real messages.

    You missed one point, it should also have been done years ago, is the way of the future. Hope the RIAA are listeining, the tossers.

  21. As a final question, just for fun really on Ask Microsoft's Security VP · · Score: 1

    As a final question, not just for fun really as we are on the subject of security - this might make a fun closing question..

    What's the worst security breach or virus infection that's ever happened to one of your machines at home or at work, and how long did it take you to resolve the problem? Did you lose any work, and did you need any help resolving the problem?

  22. Re:Yes but........ on Ideazon ZBoard Customizable Gaming Keyboard Review · · Score: 1

    At the same time I do like & actually use the extra media player buttons and the calculator and media & mail buttons.

    I think I might sometime get the newest one which actually remembers the F-lock state between boots, then put a weapons-launch-button-style flip cover over the button, plus some yellow and black striping :o)

    Aha thanks for letting me know about that feature; I've been after that keyboard since I saw it (wonder if I can get it in white) and am glad to hear that I'll never have to repeatedly punch the f-lockkey and then prntscrn again :D I've got the MS Wireless Natural Keyboard. It's nice for typing but a pain in the ass otherwise

    Also, can any computer science/hardware dudes here give credence to/piss all over the claim from gamer that there is lag with wirelss peripherals?

    Thanks!
