  1. Been there, done that on Exchange Rates Spell High Prices for Windows 7 In the EU · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pretty much the entire rest of the world got fucked over with Vista pricing too.. Here's how Gates weasel'd out of it @1:08: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmd93lWbOsw

  2. Re:Conversion for Americans on 3.5 Terabyte NAS Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I believe you're refering to Sterling Silver, but it's been some time since you could buy a pound of silver for 1GBP :P

  3. Re:At this point... on Microsoft Hoping for Vista in January · · Score: 1

    The Debian schedule is perfectly reliable. A new version is released when one of the developers watches Toy Story and finds yet another ridiculous release codename!

  4. Re:How about a "Reader Discretion Advised" warning on Futurama Star Billy West Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What sort of little kid reads Slashdot...?

  5. Dupe...? on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 1

    What's interesting is my Religious Education Book already states this, and it was published some 5 years ago...

  6. Re:Good news but... on Firefox Achieves 10% Global Market Share · · Score: 1

    There seems to be a huge amount of variation in UK stats. For example at the Spreadfirefox website statistics regulary show UK uptake near/higher than the US, at around 12/15%, and many countries with 25% plus (in the EU, for those who mentioned it). It seems overall the market share is about correct, but the values for specific countries is a little to be desired (how for example, are they determining the users country, by useragent? ;))

  7. Re:Why the US needs cheap gas. on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 1

    Did anyone care to notice that there is such a thing as public transport? It seems some Americans have cars with such large engines, they use their car to carry one person while a similar engine could carry 30+ people on a small bus... $3/gallon? Start noticing how lucky you are.

  8. Re:50,000 years?? on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 1

    There is a project of the ESA doign a similar thing (not going to pluto, but following a similar orbit) which will return to earth in 50,000 years. You can write a message up to 4 pages long to go with it - I can't remember what the project is called, but i've wrote my little piece, and if you want to Google is your friend!
