  1. That thing would attract me to break in... on House-Sitting Robot Hits Store Shelves in Japan · · Score: 1

    Just so I cool steal their cool robot!! :-)

  2. Behold! the LAPPYVATOR! on The Floating PowerBook · · Score: 5, Interesting

    One of our local "LUGgers" made this a while back:

  3. Re:wtf mate? on T-Engine Enables Ubiquitous Computing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah imagine the protein shake it could make driving through a school zone :-P

  4. So what OS will these suckers run? on A Working Quantum Computer in 3 Years? · · Score: 1

    It's not like Windows is a viable option, and would Linux "scale" to one of these things?

  5. It's not that bad really.. on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 1

    Because the tapes were encrypted wern't they... er... Wern't they?

    0.o

  6. Re:Performance of Skype over Sat? on Really Remote Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Nah, I got it thanks..
    hmm.. It would have to be pretty bad to be worse than sat phone.. those things REALLY suck sometimes plus the cost of them is huge!

  7. Performance of Skype over Sat? on Really Remote Internet Access · · Score: 1

    How well does this work?
    I have two sites in the Pilbera (North Western Australia) that could make good use of this.

  8. Irresponsible article! on Software Glitches Stall Toyota Prius · · Score: 1, Interesting

    13 unconfirmed reports from essentially anonymous forum postings.

    Bloody ridiculous.
    I have one of these cars and it performs flawlessly, as does most other peoples.
    There are very VERY few issue's with this exceptional car.

  9. Re:what are those idiots in the schools smoking? on Roadblocks to Linux in Education · · Score: 2, Funny

    Unfortunatly it's ingrained in our culture. Australians have a lack of faith in our own abilities and power. The result is we allow ourselves to be bullied like this because we are afraid to make a mistake.
    Your 100% right you know.
    Also much of the educational software is written for windows, not much point having a crap load of PC's with no ability to use the tools the teachers KNOW.

  10. Re:Services over Goods? on IBM Says its Future is in Services, Not Goods · · Score: 1

    no "goods" would be a Thia sex slave chained to the end of your bed.

  11. Eaten by Gnomes.. on Slashback: Electioneering, Blimps, Shuffling · · Score: 2, Funny

    Slashback is back after a long absence being devoured by gnomes.
    Lucky you don't use KDE.. Otherwise it'd be Dragons... 0.o

  12. I've just bought one of these cars.. on Modified Prius gets up to 180 Miles Per Gallon · · Score: 1

    And I have to say they're fucking brilliant!
    I'm VERY happy with the 22km per ltr (4.4 ltrs per 100km) that I'm currently getting.

  13. Re:You know on Revamped Linux Kernel Numbering Concluded · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll agree with that.. I've watched a few of the lkml threads and his skill at herding cats in scary...

  14. Re:What about a Google Boxed up Linux Distro? on Microsoft Loses Key Engineer to Google · · Score: 1

    It would be simple for Google to do a "Novell" and just buy another distro thats profitable (like say Mandrake) and to continue on with all business no changes for a while except for some prompt rebadging....

    It's a very real possability.. and if they do it righ then their momemtum will crush other giants like MS

  15. Nethack, liquid wars etc on Gaming With a Headmouse? · · Score: 1

    I have no idea how the "headmouse" works.. but I imagine games like nethack and liquidwars should work fine..

    Depending on how the mouse works then games like neverwinternights that are realtime/with the option to pause and issue commands should be playable as well...

  16. Re:screw the code.. open the KB up! on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 1

    Trust me in this, there _IS_ a way to do it..
    I don't have the kb article anymore.. but it works a treat.. and to top it off its about 30 sec worth of work as well.

  17. screw the code.. open the KB up! on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 1

    They really need to open up their internal support knowledge base..
    I've had a peak at it through a friend that did support for them.. and the thing is a support officers wet dream.. answers to every MS question you might ever have..

    hell It even told me how to change a dynamic disk with data on it in one quick config change without any hitch.. utterly impressive.

  18. Stict SOE then Outsource support. on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Sorry dude, but that really DOES work.

  19. The answer is not what you want to hear... on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    Most "professional" admins I've been seeing these days are nothing but paper certs.. and the answer to your question is "Not Linux".
    But to give you an answer you want to hear..
    Novell SLES 9 is pretty sweet..

  20. Re:So what does this do for OpenOffice? on Microsoft Opening Office XML Formats · · Score: 1

    Yes (or better yet, no conversion needed), and probably..

  21. The end is Nigh! on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 1

    Great, that means that more PC's will be less protected.

    Now watch as the internet get scummier and slower as all the Fnuts out there that continue to use thier ileagal copies of substandard software and no longer are able to download major patches and updates manually to fix the security issues left by open windows.

  22. Re:For all you using this to bash Gates... on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    who started it?
    I'm mean, that parting comment was the first stone (apart from being pure flame).
    Remember the "How much is the kernel worth in $$'s" story, well I believe the estimation was in the _Billions_, and that is already in the hands of those that need it.
    Its contrabution alone makes this 750 mill look pitiful.

    Not that I wish to belittle what he's done, 750 million is fantastic, great work.
    But it's nothing compared to what OSS has done/is doing and will do for the world, when it comes to charity.

  23. Oh please do no evil... on Firefox Lead Now Working For Google · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If this isn't a conflict of interest I don't know what is..

    I REALLY hope they stick to the "Do no Evil", because with this sort of move, they have the oppertunity to be either very very _good_ or just as easily be very very _evil_.

    Then again.. its Open Sourced... so if google try anything even slightly askew, the code will be forked or better yet just plain rejected.

  24. hmmm on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    in theory these "AI"'s will update their "opinions" on whats hot by checking out the top 50 songs every now and again.. eventually they'll corrupt their own pool of choices..

    It'll be inbreading for music *shudder*

  25. Re:Campouts are fucking stupid on One Last Campout for Star Wars Fans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not that I agree with his dumb behaviour, but lines are no longer for tickets.. they're for getting the best seats..

    I _hate_ having to sit too close to the screen when there is an action movie.. you can't see what going on when your too close..
