  1. Re:How does this happen? on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    it's bureaucracy mate.. in that sort of climate if you give _anyone_ the chance to officiate themselves they're going to use it regardless of if its needed or not.

    meh.. as long as they keep its just slightly corny.. it might be ok...
    Please oh please don't try to make it dead set serious.

  3. WHO THE HELL??? on Top 50 DVDs · · Score: 1

    Who decided that movies like 5th element should be lower on the list than DAREDEVIL!?!?!

    Sounds like a crock to me.

  4. laptops on PCs For A Workshop Environment? · · Score: 1

    cheap second hand laptop will be perfect.. even better if you can do a cold air induction pipe to the outside world (with small filter)

  5. Re:My question is... on First Peek at Robosapien V2 · · Score: 2, Informative

    because its slow, takes _hours_ to recharge for 30 mins of use and cost friggin millions.

    But yes its exciting to see that honda are leading the world in this tech

  6. wtf?!? on Folksonomies In Del.icio.us and Flickr · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I must need more sleep.. that looked like complete gibberish to me.

  8. To true on Life Interrupted · · Score: 1

    I can definitely say I'm affected by this..
    To the point that sometimes I feel like "tweak" from South Park. (not because of caffeine either.. because I'm off the caffeine )

    Its the only addiction I allow myself.. so don't you DARE take that away from me!

  9. Not far enough. on Bringing Down A Copycat Site · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You should NOT have stopped at the pulling of your gear.
    Send all the emails to the admin at the host.
    Do not give this bastard an even break. He obviously will not give others a break.

  10. error messages on What's Wrong with Unix? · · Score: 1

    We need a layer that sits between the shell and the applications, so that when an error happens it will catch it and attempt to give more information on what happened.

    But not be as clunky on a system as a full time debug.

  11. Re:Hype! Hype! I can't read a graph! on SCO Shares Plunge, Canopy Management Change · · Score: 1

    SCOG not SCO
    SCOG is the SCO Group.

  12. Rumor Has it... on SCO Shares Plunge, Canopy Management Change · · Score: 5, Interesting


    That Mustard is a bit of a hatchet man. (walks into a sinking ship and throws so many people overboard that its starts floating.. then points that barely floating ship back in a direction that will assure the safety of whomever is left)
    Couple that with the CFO's leaving and the REALLY piss poor financials that were released yesterday.. I reckon we're about to see the end of this whole saga.

  13. Re:www.microsoft.com on IT Practice Within Microsoft · · Score: 1

    not its not inaccurate.. Microsoft don't run their own major web servers.. its outsourced to another company.. therefore MS don't run linux..

    But I do remember reading about 4 years ago that they did use Unix in the Dev area of Windows..

  14. Re:Double-take on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the teams and their sponsors are bound by the contract..
    IE ( I don't know the first thing about yankee football but the concept is simple) What is Nike decides that the teams they sponsor should have a console game made by their best friends at SEGA??

    It may not have the "stamp" of the NFL but whom ever "owns" the teams have given the thumbs up...

    would that be binding still?

    I just wanted to share... (unlike EA)

    RTFA.

    From the article: The newly-developed technology uses a water-based solution of sodium borohydride, made from sodium borate, to produce hydrogen gas.

    The downside is that there are only about 300 million tons of sodium borate worldwide, located mostly in Tibet, and that annual global production of sodium borohydride stands at 10,000 tons, it added.

  17. its not that hard.. on Can People Really Program 80+ Hours a Week? · · Score: 1

    Its just 12 hours a day.. this is normal working hours on australian mine sites.. and many other aussie workplaces..

  18. Re:How do you give 110%? on NYT on EA Games · · Score: 1

    In this situation, giving 110% is quite simple, work 10% more hours than your contract says.

  19. I'd support a move like this in Australia on Photo ID Required To Buy/Rent Games In Canada · · Score: 1

    This would be welcomed with open arms in Australia.
    As long as they stopped blaming the games for poor parenting probems.

  25. Re:What the hell is /. doing posting this tripe? on 10 Points About Transgaming's Cedega/WineX · · Score: 1

    I can't remember where I read it but I have read somewhere that the transgaming version of Winelib has been used for compiling linux native games (used in the port process).. The loki stuff I have looked and looked and all I can say is I remember reading one of Transgaming staff saying (might have been Gavriel) that they worked on some stuff with loki. It wasn't much but the intent and work was there.
