  1. one of the most energy inefficient "PC's"... on How to Turn a PlayStation 3 Into a Linux PC · · Score: 3, Interesting
  2. that rocks! on New Browser-Based MMO Teaches Mandarin Chinese · · Score: 1

    What a brilliant idea.. I'm very much looking forward to using this...

  3. 25 years?!? on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    aww man.. does that mean I have to wait 25+ years for a decent update to the reiserFS ?!?
    Where is the justice in that?

  4. Re:It's only class 3 and 4 lasers on Laser Pointers Classed as Weapons in Australia · · Score: 3, Informative

    No offense mate, but that is such a classic American response... wouldn't be a yank you ya?

    You need a lic for anything larger than an air rifle over here... and you can't just carry one of them around either...

    We like it that way.

  5. oooh I like this line of thought... on If IP Is Property, Where Is the Property Tax? · · Score: 1

    Tax profit making licenses hard enough and they'll stop trying to license the damn things. :-P

  6. Re:Q9 P.O.S with WM6, also no push e-mail? on First Sight of Google Android · · Score: 1

    IMAP/IMAPS/POP/POPS/ExchangeIMAP none of which are PUSH MAIL.

    True push mail doesn't require the remote unit to call the server if there is a new mail.

    Yeah big deal I can POP3 from a mobile device, what I want is for when my mail server receives an update it finds and update my handset.
    Immediately.

    Do your research,oh glass house living stone thrower of great ignorance.

  7. Re:YAY! on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    AARRRGGHH!

    Agreed that would drive me nuts.

    I suspect it'd make a nice exploit as well...

  8. Q9 P.O.S with WM6, also no push e-mail? on First Sight of Google Android · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can testify that the Q9 is a piece of crap with Windows Mobile 6. very sluggish and clumsy feeling after coming from the slick responsive world of a Blackberry 8800.

    Also I notice there isn't any "e-mail" icon on any of the screenshots...
    Does this mean it's going to be another iPhone (can only get push mail from Yahoo) type device..

    that would really suck if true. I _really_ hope that they're thinking of the enterprise with these things.. having to accept either RIM or MS devices only sucks balls when I know that Linux based OS's would be so much better.

  9. 3cm?!?! on Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB · · Score: 1

    3 cm from where?
    From where the module is located on the laptop? So to use my Wireless USB drive I have to have it sitting under my laptop??

    For crying out loud, what the hell is wrong with Sony??

  10. ouch, reject fees? on FTC Says Payment Processor Took Millions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not sure about in America but here in Australia if someone tried to debit money from your account and it fails YOU the account holder get slugged a fee.
    I wonder if this was the case for all the failed unauthorized attempts...?

  11. Re:size of a football field ... on Football Field-Sized Kite Powers Latest Freighter · · Score: 1

    Quote :
    And when it docks in Australia, it will run about 165 meters long by 135 meters wide (and while it will be hard to figure out how it works or what it's doing, it will be brutally violent).

    Just what are you trying to say about Australian football?!?! :-P

  12. Even scarier still... on Paranormal Investigations and Belief in Ghosts · · Score: 1

    is that surveys show that 60% of Americans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies%2C_damned_lies%2C_and_statisticsbelieve surveys fill out by Americans.

  13. Re:nothing mysterious here on VMware May Violate Linux Copyrights · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Freemware is now called Plex86, and is alive and well :-)
    http://www.plex86.org/

  14. I was here for that on Microsoft Says "War on Terror" is Overblown · · Score: 1

    Steve's an interesting guy to listen to.
    Worth the time to sit and listen to him.

  15. Plasma? on KDE 4.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I thought KDE4 was meant to include "Plasma" effects... what happened to that?!

  16. pffft My friday on Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    My friday was spent from 8am right through till midnight trying to do a Dynamics AX 4.0 upgrade and recompile.
    It failed.
    I'm about to head back in at 7:30 am sat morning.

  17. "The Evil Colour" on Homeland Security Funds LED Light That Blinds, Disorients · · Score: 1

    "There's one wavelength that gets everybody," Lieberman said, according to the newsletter. "Vlad calls it the evil color."

    There is also a back audio weapon they're working on, apparently it don't incapacitate the offender it just really takes the fight out of them

    Apparently it emits a tone that gets "everyone", Vlad calls this one "The Brown note" :-P

  18. What could go wrong? on Microsoft Security Makes "Worst Jobs" List · · Score: 1

    "'Whale feces or working at Microsoft? I would probably be the whale feces researcher,' he said. 'Salt air and whale flatulence; what could go wrong?'""

    Quite a lot if your standing near a naked flame when one of them big boys "Breach" 0.o

  19. Re:Copyright Law on Big Ten Schools Recommit to Google Books Project · · Score: 3, Informative

    The books have to purchased first.. then you can read them from that physical location for "free" (for a variable definition of free)
    The bloody marvelous venture from Google changes that.

  20. Re:Gentoo 2007.0 Review from Daniel Robbins on New Gentoo 2007.0 Release Gets Mixed Review · · Score: 1

    too many hard edges and not enough simple definition.
    It takes too long to look at it and untangle what it's meant to say.

  21. Re:retail on Better Communication with Non-Technical People? · · Score: 1

    phew, you really are a low life piece of crap aren't you? ;-)

  22. Re:Wow, what are the odds? on Reiser Murder Case Gets Stranger · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Probably fairly high, she's likely to be predisposed to be attracted to a particular personality type...

  23. Re:The Perfect Slashdot Poll on Jack Thompson's Past Legal Failures Resurrected · · Score: 1

    The only logical conclusion here is that the next job for Jack Thompson that would best fit him perfectly is President of The United States of America.

  24. Re:And dont tell me about Notes, please. on Novell Dumps the Hula Project · · Score: 1

    You haven't lived until you take over an account with a Notes server with 500 users in the Notesdata directory, and 400 of the id files are named "user.id".
    hahahahahahaha. Been there done that mate :-)

  25. Re:Why does anyone pay attention to idiots? on Thai IT Minister Slams Open Source · · Score: 1

    because hiding the embarrassment does nothing to fixing it.
    Highlighting it and acknowledging it DOES.
