  1. Re:let's side with caution for now on Possible Hole in Black Holes · · Score: 1

    No that's incorrect, we have witnessed gravtational lensing. Therefore any "invisible" object with an appropriate mass could cause this. Also I get the shits at the posters earlier on (not you) that say matter is gone forever in a blackhole lots of it is converted to energy, most of it being released in X-Ray transmisions (hypothetically).

    P.S. I'm really drunk (it's 8:30pm on a friday here) CHEEERS.

  2. Re:Joke on The Life and Death of Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    The mod's are clearly anal, this is a 5 comment and perhaps we need to invent a new +6 comment. Cheers dude your alright.

  3. Slackware user on Slackware 11 is Coming · · Score: 1

    I've always been a fan of slackware, its probably one of the most stable distros out there. It doesn't try to be bleeding edge and thats why hosting/developing on it is a real pleasure. I do wonder though why the 2.6 series kernel sat in testing for so long, then again maybe thats a stupid question, 2.6 isn't really a production kernel HA. I don't really like the way the LAMP stack is setup from the get go, I always ended up recompiling that stuff from source myself but I've done that with most of the distros I've used lately - maybe its just the wierd shit I do. Anyway good to see Pat is back at it giving us a rock solid and fairly politics free distro!

  4. Re:Clever on Day of the Robotic Tentacle · · Score: 1

    Nature has had 4 billion years to perfect its structual designs, I dont see why we should reinvent the wheel. I'm sure there is plenty of room for improvement but I'm a big fan of the "beg, steal, borrow" school of thought.

  5. Forced Upgrades on Nokia's New All-In-One Phone · · Score: 1

    Some times it seems like mobile phones break every 12 months to force people to upgrade, I certainly don't want to be spending $600+ on a device that is designed to break.
