  1. Different version for Australia? on Vista Won't Play With Old DVD Drives · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't regional code locked devices illegal in Australia..? Does this mean that they'll have to sell a modified version here?

  2. Really should take some time off.. on Peter Quinn Resigns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    He should just take some leave, then come back recharged and ready to weather the bulls!th from the media. He's not really doing himself a favour in resigning.

  3. kick arse vpn on Security Focus Interviews Damien Miller · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anyone seen this before?:
    http://www.hamachi.cc/

    Loos like a better way of doing VPN.. though ssh with in built vpn is going to be nice...

  4. What are they talking about?? on Blog Services Outgrow Their Data Centers · · Score: 1

    I don't see any problem with my immensely popular Blog :-P 09:11:22 up 29 days, 1:04, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00

  5. Science Meets Style on Science Meets Style In This Cathode Tube Watch · · Score: 3, Informative

    Science Meets Style... and Style walks away with a bloody nose.

    Seriously people.. this does not look cool, neat, retro, funky or any thing other than an ugly lump on the end of an appendage.

  6. Australian schools could use the $100.00 laptops.. on Slashback: Quinn, iBackups, Wikipedia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Although a 1st world country our education system is very third world in some area's.
    If you offered this to our schools and their parents I believe you would see a MASSIVE uptake in the devices.

  7. Pity... on Mice Created With Human Brain Cells · · Score: 0, Troll

    'You will never ever have a little human trapped inside a mouse or monkey's body.

    What a pity... we could do with a decent contender for the positions currently held by Bush/Blair/Howard.

  8. Re:75 billion? who cares, it isn't going to happen on IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion? · · Score: 1

    My coffee pot isn't on the internet, and if it needed to be, I'd use NAT, or invent some new multiplexor protocol that sits on IPv4. Don't you people realize this?? I'll issue my usual challenge to the IPv6-fans: If you love IPv6 so much, cut yourself off from IPv4 completely. Don't use an IPv4 address. Don't access IPv4 sites. That's what has to happen for IPv6 to be a reality. If you're running IPv6 on top of or alongside IPv4, you haven't "switched over" yet.
    no problem.. I'll just ring all the guys that manage the web sites you need and like to visit and get _them_ to convert completely to IPv6.
    Let's see how useless IPv6 is then...

  9. hur hur hur on Kansas Anti-Creationism Professor Resigns · · Score: 2, Funny
    The article goes on to explain that Mirecki evidently sent poorly worded email with anti-Christian sentiments around to people interested in the class, and was subsequently beaten for his troubles.

    bloody bible bashers :-P

  10. Re:I don't understand on Slashback: Cancer, Cats, ICANN · · Score: 1

    makes zero sense to me as well.. perhaps the guys on groklaw could explain?

  11. why? on Pocket Linux Server Showdown · · Score: 0, Troll

    Can someone tell my why a web server of this size and capability is useful?

  12. Valve can suck my elbow. on Valve Looks Beyond The FPS · · Score: 1

    If Valve hadn't treated me like a career criminal and releases that truly fcked up piece of software "Steam", then things might be different.
    But I will go out of my way to make sure I _never_ buy another valve game again.

    asshats. :-|

  13. No surprise there... on Security's Shaky State · · Score: 1

    But then again, you could accuratly say the same thing about any other I.T. Dept.
    I.T. is a cost center of _any_ business, not a profit center..

  14. My fav quote from Groklaw... on A Look at the US Patent System · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Somewhat off topic.. but still kinda relevant and very funny :-)

    I will write on a huge cement block "By accepting this brick through your window, you accept it as it is and agree to my disclaimer of all warranties, express or implied, as well as disclaimers of all liability, direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental, that may arise from the installation of this brick into your building." - PJ
    Grok law

  15. No mention of Ubuntu? on Talking With Debian's Branden Robinson · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder if that's now a clause in his interview contracts:
    I will not talk about Ubuntu.
    Do not ask me about Ubuntu.
    If you force me to listen to a question about Ubuntu I will stick my fingers in my ears like this and go "LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa!" :-P

  16. What they aren't showing you... on The Letter That Won US Internet Control · · Score: 1

    Is the big fat check that when with every copy of this letter send :-P

  17. Meaning of Liff words.. on Merriam-Webster Launches Open Dictionary · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long before the meaning of Liff words are entered into it? :-)
    I'd love to see stuff like:
    DITHERINGTON (n)
    Sudden access to panic experienced by one who realises that he is being drawn inexorably into a clabby (q.v.) conversation, i.e. one he has no hope of enjoying, benefiting from or understanding.

    and

    NAD (n.)
    Measure defined as the distance between a driver's outstretched fingertips and the ticket machine in an automatic car-park. 1 nad = 18.4 cm.

    ohh and without a doubt..

    SCRAPTOFT (n.)
    The absurd flap of hair a vain and balding man grows long above one ear to comb it to the other ear. :-)

  18. It's just a ploy from MS to make Linux crash... on Free60 Project Aims for Linux on Xbox 360 · · Score: 4, Funny

    You see.. they're taking a $129 loss on every x360 sold.. the reason is that they KNOW we're going to put Linux on it.. and the moment we do you KNOW some well meaning twit will port Gentoo to it.
    Now if these buggers over heat and die regularly what do you think GENTOO is going to do to it with all that compiling?!?!

    It's going to set fire to houses and KILL PEOPLE!!
    Then MS can sit back and let the marketing dogs of war loose, and Linux will be branded as the child killing OS for ever and a day.

    so.. which of you genius Judas will be nailing Tux to a dead tree first??

  19. Re:The name on Free60 Project Aims for Linux on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

  21. wash away on Condensing Your Life on to a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've had 4 of my 512 mb usb mem key's go through the wash dozens of times.. :-) no problems there at all :-)

  22. Re:Should I Worry? on ESA Selects Targets for Asteroid Deflection Test · · Score: 1

    nope, cause there isn't a single thing you can do about it if there is.
    Live life to it's fullest.. you got no say in the matter of when your day will come.

  23. so a crank is asking /. about science.. on Controlling Hurricanes? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seems kind of ironic don't you think? :-P

    Seriously though.. I think I remember reading somewhere about "sowing" clouds for rain.. and that it had unpredictable results, I imagine that Toying with events as large as a Hurricane would be like taming a pit-bull with a cattle prod...

  24. Re:Works in Canada on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 1

    uh.. isn't Canada an annexed state of America anyway?

    (just kidding :-P )

  25. cell laptops.. on IBM-Sony-Toshiba Reveal New Cell Processor Details · · Score: 0, Troll

    I reckon a Cell Laptop version would rock the mobile world... for starters it would take MS 3-4 years to catch up and develop a usable OS for it.. or they'd do what they normally do.. steal/buy someone else's..
