  1. Re:But when the "editor" that posts it says on Police Using YouTube to Catch Killers · · Score: 1

    So if it's not in the U.S. it doesn't concern us?

  2. Re:Fanboism and the Amiga's death on CEO of Amiga, Inc. Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Did this comment slip out of a wormhole from a 1990 PC-vs-Amiga flamewar?

    LOL Sorry, but that's just the perfect response!

  3. Re:kms = kilo*meter*second on Low Cost Panoramic Views From 112,000 feet · · Score: 1

    You mean the balloon was doing 36 km/s?

  4. Re:Sad, but biased on WGA — Too Many False Positives · · Score: 1

    No you're wrong.

    Most decent people will go back if someone has helped them. If they just read a web page FAQ then no, but a forum question and answer I would expect to see a high "fixed" respone.

  5. Re:W2K FTW on Looking Back on Five Years of Windows XP · · Score: 1

    I agree, I thought XP would send users to Linux (Mandrake was the flavour of the time) in droves.

    It never happened, and I doubt it will. People but a machine and jump through hoops getting Windows to work but it came with it so "it must be free".

  6. Re:firefox on cPanel Exploit Used to Circulate IE Exploit · · Score: 3, Informative

    Also cPanel has an Admin module for the server owner and that installs user cPanels as they create the user accounts. It IS simple, that's why it's so widely used.

  7. Re:How's this better than Putty? on Linux Powers Lilliputian PCs · · Score: 1

    I don't think this is really any better than Putty. ...and your windows would fall out.

  8. Re:Big Red Plenty Pack? on Linux Powers Lilliputian PCs · · Score: 1

    A spelling Nazi complaining the Beatles were not German?

    I'm going back to bed :-(

  9. Re:why do I need something more than my five-year- on Intel's Quad Core CPU Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I think the idea was comparing a new system against a system bought new five years ago. If you bought that spec five years ago they must have seen you coming!

  10. Mandriva on Mandriva 2007 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    By the time their final release is ready we will have Ulteo to play with. http://www.ulteo.com/main/

  11. Re:Cities redesigned on The Segway, Five Years Later · · Score: 1

    Make up or compile?

    Oh, you were right. :-)

  13. Re:Aww, he loves me. Not. on DebConf6, Hot and Spicy · · Score: 1
    This is childish. What is the point of such a comment?


    You must be very new here! ;-)
  14. Re:Sick of Lawsuits? on Symantec Sues Microsoft, May Delay Vista · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Am I the only person sick to death of all the lawsuits and patents?


    No, but in this case it soounds like Symantec are doing the right thing. They've had discussions and they've failed. The license doesn't allow Microsoft to do what they're doing.
  15. Seconds on Japan's JT-60 Tokamak Sets New Plasma Record · · Score: 1, Funny

    Dude, you gotta change that pentium. ;-)

  16. Re:Good use for tags on Miniature Tags Track Dragonflies · · Score: 1

    Or like attach to the spinal chord?
  17. Re:What?? on MIT Media Lab Fashions · · Score: 1
    I know what you meant, but there is no overtime in baseball. It would be extra innings.


    And what do you suppose the Hotdog sellers claim if there is an extra innings? ;-)
  18. Re:Cooporation is the way of the future. on Japan Solicits NASA's Help on Supersonic Jet · · Score: 1

    I can't believe this was modded troll.

    I guess you can't state your opinion of Bush if you don't like him.

    Noted for further reference.

  19. Re:And more power to them! on Kevin Carmony Responds to Criticism · · Score: 1
    At times like these, I don't really care about politics or philosophy. I'm just trying to get the computer working, and if I get stuck because of OSS, I'll just abandon the project.


    Then maybe you should look at OSX or Windows. Linux and Open Source is, guess what, about open source. If your video card manufacturer didn't release the specs or better yet write an open source driver that's not the fault of Linux.

    Without wishing to pick on you personally this is the attitude we need to fight. If something doesn't work whose fault is it, honestly? In this case it's the video card manufacturer. If you can't print to a windows printer or use a winmodem? It's down to hardware.

    If more people complained to the right people more would get done, as it is complaining to friends/newsgroups/blogs gets nowhere.
  20. Re:Cooporation is the way of the future. on Japan Solicits NASA's Help on Supersonic Jet · · Score: -1, Troll
    I guess we'll all have to learn to get along first

    I can't see that happening when all that matters to Bush & Co is oil.

    It would be nice to see a joint effort, but really, is it likely?
  21. No popups on Growing Diamonds for Better Information Security · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's the actual University of Melbourne article from four days ago.

  22. Re:Invest the time on Teaching Engineers to Write? · · Score: 1

    When reading something I'd written aloud, I'd correct the mistakes as I went.

  24. Squash on Babybot Learns Like You Did · · Score: 1

    LOL When "babybot" goes to grap the ball watch how fast he gets his hand out of the way!

    Obviously babybot doesn't know it's own strength! LOL

  25. May? on Babybot Learns Like You Did · · Score: 5, Funny

    may mean that such machines can never become as intelligent as us

    They don't know and they're playing with it. Have they even seen the Matrix??
