  1. Re:Shootings, shortages, and selling on The PlayStation 3 Launches In the U.S. · · Score: 0, Troll

    surely its "Nintendo Poo"? kinda offputting but if people will pay for Wii, then theres no real limit to the crap they will accept.

  2. Re:Hmm on Microsoft One Step From World's Greenest Company · · Score: 1

    what about those not running "legit" versions of windows? surely the stats show that they are windows users and can join in and save power, however if they cant get the update ...

  3. Productivity on Death of the Cell Phone Keypad As We Know It? · · Score: 1

    Use Dvorak at work on a slow day (enable dvorak and switch over default is left shift + alt when you want to type qwerty), it makes you look like your working as your jabbing away at keys, but your productivity is a lot slower until you get up to speed so your stretching out the work to make it last ;) i have to agree that dvorak isnt any better for sysadmin stuff, since the letter combos arent usually regular, but this also holds true for qwerty so that kinda balances that one out!

  4. Re:Make people think to figure out your e-mail on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 0

    if your getting 1000 spams a day i think this proves a bot can click a button better than a person! (unless you also get over 1000 enquiries through the same form)

  5. Interesting ideas on Google Envisions Free Cell Phones For All · · Score: 1, Interesting

    but if you read the article they are looking further into the future than just giving you the latest nokia on a std contract and making you watch a few ads or get a few texts and mms's. the article would be more orientated at a society where the phone replaces the computer, and also states "Schmidt says consumers would get the device without cost - provided they accepy targeted advertising." (SIC) and "Schmidt acknowledged that mobile phones may never become totally free to the consumer" so the article title is a little misleading, which one is it? then they talk about storing consumer data ... very little about free mobiles is mentioned, so really its a pointless article unless you want to discuss possibilities of the way the internet and computer/mobile phones will work in the future.

  6. Re:I would rather pay a fixed amount... on Google Envisions Free Cell Phones For All · · Score: 0

    I have purchased everything I own after seeing other people with the item(s) in their lives maybe google needs to start sponsoring your friends then?

  7. Re:Boy scouts on Bar Performer Arrested For Copyright Violations · · Score: 0

    yeah but he'll never see the badges

  8. sounds nuts on Bar Performer Arrested For Copyright Violations · · Score: 0

    but i guess to be playing in his establishment he would have to have some form of entertainment license?

    if your not paying then you really shouldnt be playing music to patrons, sucks to be a street busker then, think of all those people you are entertaining, the donations probably dont outweigh the royalties! expect mugging to go up as all the buskers look for alternative ways of getting your change.

  9. Re:I don't get it... on Conducting an International Job Search? · · Score: 0

    despite all of the americans that go online or into the media and shout "hey i didnt vote for him", more voted for bush than the other guy.

    but lets face it, the rest of the world is only mildly interested in who is in power in america, lets face it whoever it is will probably make the same mistakes as the guy that all those apologetic people voted for.

    i dont get it, why do americans expect the outside world to treat their elections with the same gravity they do? we really, really dont care.

  10. Re:Captain Obvious Strikes Again on Flickr Patenting "Interestingness" · · Score: 0

    well if apple can try and patent "pod" despite there being a pretty long history of the word being used, Yahoo! have to jump on the bandwagon also and try and patent something stupid just for the media attention. maybe someone should tag this "interestingness" and we can all say we have been using it for ages.

  11. Re:"What are you in for" on BitTorrent Site Admin Sent To Prison · · Score: 0

    who cares? as long as he records it and puts it online ... at least thats copywright free

  14. Learning on Chimpanzees Beat out Children in Reasoning Test · · Score: 1

    Who told the chimps to do EXACTLY as they were told? Thats how/what we teach our children. Maybe they could have "taught" the chimps before hand, and whupped the chimps about the head with a chalk board rubber if they failed a step, this would even up the results.

  15. Re:Quality of Articles on Mandriva Linux 2006 Review Continued · · Score: 1

    how much is it to live in france? telewest just upgraded me to 10mb [from 2] for free and i thought that was good! damn, ignorance was bliss.

  16. not quite right on OMG Girlz Don't Exist On Teh Intarweb! · · Score: 2, Funny

    its not that we dont believe there are women on the internet, its that we dont believe the people who claim to be women, women are like deer, you see them from your car window when your driving through the countryside, or sometimes - once in a while - you hit one head on and it smashes your car up.

  17. Why on Yahoo Map Engineers Prank Google · · Score: 1

    so why link to http://www.stanford.edu/ and http://google.com/ on the links page? and post a gmail account [or should it be googlemail.co.uk over here ...]

    no, rats are filthy beasties, we should put more rats to work in the workplace, that way we can all be supervisors and read slashdot all day.
