  1. Re:More important than homebrew potential on Wii Uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography For Saves · · Score: 1

    I think it means encryption for virtual console games etc.

  2. Re:So I guess... on Apple Cuts Off Linux iPod Users · · Score: 3, Informative

    Install rockbox on an iPod, as that supports vorbis.

  3. Re:It could be server software on Valve Looking to Port Games to Linux? · · Score: 1
    It specifically says:

    Port Windows-based games to the Linux platform. Not server software, GAMES. Besides they already have perfectly good server software on Linux.
  4. Best news all day on Valve Looking to Port Games to Linux? · · Score: 1

    That's the best news I've heard all day. Especially seeing as if they port Source and Steam, we probably won't be paying twice.

  5. Re:This should end well on Vista Pirates To Get "Black Screen of Darkness" · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Wii-Mote blows for FPS... on Wii Zapper To Have Zelda Pack-In Title · · Score: 1

    What?
    That's a load of nonsense. Due to my noobiness I was unable to finish the original version of Resident Evil 4, on the Wii version I finished easily, to the excellent controls. I think all you've been playing is Red Steel. I can't wait for Metroid Prime 3 to come out in the UK.

  7. Re:If broadcasts are so critical, how come.... on Broadcasters Oppose Wireless Net Service · · Score: 1

    He was being sarcastic, I think.
    <br>The moral of this tale is to use <sarcasm> tags.

  8. Wii on Bulletproof Tool For Golden Age Browsing? · · Score: 1

    Use a Wii, thats got all the features you asked for.

  9. Re:No problem on UK Police Cracking Down on Broadband Theft · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find that most of the "unlimited" offers have lower limits than those which openly display them.

  10. Re:people who call Google evil on Google's Continued Growing Pains · · Score: 1

    Agreed.

  11. Re:Bogus question. on Federal Agents Raid Homes for Modchips · · Score: 1

    In the UK some EULAs are illegal. For example, copyright law gives me the right to reverse engineer something in order for it to work with something else. Any EULA that attempts to prevent me from doing that is illegal.

  12. Misleading Title on Broken Patent System? Google, Apple Disagree · · Score: 2, Informative

    That title is extremely misleading. The way its written it looks like its saying that Google and Apple disagree with the fact that the patent system is broken.

  13. Re:question.... on NASA Hacker Wins Right to Extradition Hearing · · Score: 1

    The currency of the United kingdom is pounds sterling (£) not Euros (). £1 is over $2

  14. Re:optical mice have their own issues. on Mouse or Trackball? · · Score: 1

    I find that the brown envelope, in which lay my GCSE certificates, works brilliantly with optical mice.

  15. Re:Transparency on Wikipedia Infiltrated by Intelligence Agents? · · Score: 1

    Hooray, someone used the Keynes quote (well almost, its supposed to be "In the long run, we are all dead."). You're comment is quite right, its a pity I have no mod points.

  16. Re:Oh, the irony.... on Change Google's Background Color To Save Energy? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yeah you're right, light grey on dark grey is good too: http://support.steampowered.com/ is a good example

  17. Who? on EU Google Competitor Project Gets Aid Worth $166 Million · · Score: 1

    Which muppet decided to tag this socialist?

  18. Re:All's well.. on Police Given Access to Congestion-Charge Cameras · · Score: 1

    Don't need to: conspiracy to commit an act of terror is a crime(like conspiracy to murder).

  19. Re: United Kingdom , Tony Blair, George Bush on Police Given Access to Congestion-Charge Cameras · · Score: 1

    I personally would have used this wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Brown_(rugby_p layer)

  20. Re:References? on Politically Incorrect Observations About Human Nature · · Score: 1

    Liberal minority? Which country would this be in, Saddam's Iraq, the USSR or Hitler's Germany? Almost everyone is liberal. I assume you are talking about the US. Funny, its constitution seems to mention the word "Liberty" an awful lot.

  21. Re:It may be even better than that. on Safari for Windows Downloaded Over 1 Million Times · · Score: 1

    Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3) is perfectly standard compliant, passes the ACID test and everything. Its also incredibly stable: 3a5 hasn't crashed on me once yet, and doesn't do the stupid Apple text blurring.

  22. Re:Or maybe on DRAM Makers Suffer Due to Lackluster Vista Adoption · · Score: 1

    What, everyone else joins in badmouthing Apple?
    Hooray, I'd join in but its all been said before. Somebody already made the vertical monopoly point.

  23. RFID tags on Pimping Out a New House · · Score: 1

    RFID tag your entire DVD collection, get sensors and be able to find any DVD quickly! Much better use than for making passports insecure. While you're at it tag your keys and any other easy to lose items.

  24. Re:Networking? Cat-5e on Pimping Out a New House · · Score: 1

    Cat-5 for the network, but have fiber optic lights!

  25. Re:Evolution? on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Of course we teach evolution in Britain. We also have separate lessons ABOUT religions.
