    Apparently, the future is now just 14 days away!


    Well yes, but the future is tomorrow. ;-)
  2. Re:This is on the front page of slashdot why? on Demo Virus For Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1
    Subscribers get to see the article 10-20 before it goes "live".


    That's still a lot to write in 20s? ;-)

    What about other countries who support terrorism, for instance.


    Where did the IRA get a lot of their funding from?

    Which is, of course, most of WA.
  7. Re:Is Telstra not one of the biggest? on New Windows Attack Can Disable Firewall · · Score: 1

    What used to really annoy me, was people with USB and ethernet on their modem who had (kindly) been set-up using the USB port by a mate (who knows about computers!).

    and had your parents not asked you what would they have got?

  9. Re:Not that big a deal, but still. on New Windows Attack Can Disable Firewall · · Score: 1

    It was useful on Windows 98 when so many people were limited to using modems for internet access
    ...and once again the US assumes everyone else in the world has DSL and 4 port modems.

    Hello, a lot of people still use 56K modems to connect to the net. The biggest ISP's in Australia supply a USB only DSL modem when you sign up. These people rely on ICS.
  10. Re:That was the key question? on Gotuit Online Player Now Available for Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There must be a click counter somewhere in there.

    The site is pure flash so I guess Linux users couldn't see it before, now then can, but why they'd want to is beyond me! :-(

  11. Re:Well on The Largest Digital Photo · · Score: 1
    And it's spelt kyrie, which is Greek for "Lord".

    I will email Miss Minogue right now! ;-)
  12. Well on The Largest Digital Photo · · Score: 1

    The pictures are kind of okay in a geeky way, but the sound is crap!

    How about a picture (and sound) of Kylie or something?

  13. Prices on Will Red Hat Survive? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Red Hat have been over-charging for a long time. If Novell had done something decent this would not be happening now.

    Oracle will give them some healthy competition, may the best distro win. :-)

  14. Says it all really on Slashdot's Vastu · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://validator.w3.org/check says Result: Failed validation

    Oh man, are you going to be busy round here. Just try not to loose sight of the discussion! ;-)
  18. Re:Microsoft Powertoys on Virtual Desktops on Windows? · · Score: 1

    The MS Powertoy doesn't really cut it for me

    I think that means the MS powetoys are more toys and less power?

  19. Re:Sigh on Water-cooled Radeon X1950 XTX Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Yep, I am viewing a web site, show me an HTML page please. If they wrote the press release in word it has a "save as HTML" option, use it.

  20. Sigh on Water-cooled Radeon X1950 XTX Benchmarks · · Score: 1, Troll

    Their full press release is a word document.

    While I know Openoffice can open it, can't these people use something more friendly?

    Major League Gaming shows he's not even the best! :-(

  24. Re:google seems to inspire... on Google Code Search Reveals Dark Corners · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think their success comes from the simple interface, that despite varied functions retains sufficient uniformity to facilitate usefulness.

    Jeez, I must have swallowed a dictionary!
