  1. Passport.NET on Kaspersky CEO Wants End To Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Remember that? Nagware on every fresh XP install telling you to hand over your details to Microsoft so they can target the ads embedded in their IM client.

    This is no different. Windows Shitware Deleter Company here only want to spam you more accurately.

  2. Re:No, that's not it on Most Mac Owners Also Own a Windows PC, But Not Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    WYSIWYG output. The GUI is based on Postscript, the horrible blurry fonts that I personally don't like are actually close to how they'd come out on paper. I think Mac OS has had >24bpp colour support since before OS X too.

  3. Re:Can we do it in Aus. Perhaps cut down swearing? on Maldives Government Holds Undersea Cabinet Meeting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least your politicians have the balls to say what they think of each other instead of saccharine-coating everything with fake political correctness.

  4. Re:No sympathy here... on Maldives Government Holds Undersea Cabinet Meeting · · Score: 1

    That's some awesome selective reading right there.

  5. Re:Is this FUCKING JOKE? on Lockheed Snags $31 Million To Reinvent the Internet, Microsoft To Help · · Score: 1

    Considering his sig, I'd say the GP's English isn't bad at all

  6. Re:Obligatory on Scientists Discover How DNA Is Folded Within the Nucleus · · Score: 1

    I wonder how you'd demonstrate prior art for that in court...

    Actually no, I don't want to imagine it.

  7. Re:Balance Sheet on Michael Dell Says Windows 7 Will Make You Love PCs · · Score: 1

    Except you won't be running Photoshop, Crysis or a whole slew of popular software.

    People who bought a Wii won't be running Crysis either. What was your point again?

  8. Re:Yeah, right. on Michael Dell Says Windows 7 Will Make You Love PCs · · Score: 1

    Vista SP1 SP1

    The next service pack will be SP1 SP1 SP1, which will be shortened to SP1^3 to indicate its proportionally larger usefulness

  9. Re:Sounds cool, but... on 12M Digit Prime Number Sets Record, Nets $100,000 · · Score: 1

    I bet sshing in with that RSA key would take a while

  10. Re:Not as bad as it sounds! on Doubts Raised About Legal Soundness of GPL2 · · Score: 1

    what makes your code so special that you feel you can restrict the conditions under which I install and run it?

    Copyright law.

  11. Re:Wireless devices with Master Mode Support on Wi-Fi Direct Overlaps Bluetooth Territory For Connecting Devices · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they've just took a bunch of already existing additions to Wi-fi and trademarked it. Presumably so they can charge royalties for it.

  12. Re:DNS on Tim Berners-Lee Is Sorry About the Slashes · · Score: 1

    It turned out the shorthand "//www.example.com/foo/bar/baz" is rarely used

    view-source on this page.

  13. Re:What about the banks? on Washington Post Says Use Linux To Avoid Bank Fraud · · Score: 1

    To make it secure they should store the details of the transaction, then SMS that back to the user along with a verification code to enter if it's correct. A MITM would then have to break into your phone or the cell network to get at your money without you noticing, as opposed to just passing through two magic numbers instead of one.

  14. Re:Who requests on Google To Send Detailed Info About Hacked Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Hi Mr. Murdoch!

  15. Re:The C64 is back! on Eee Keyboard Details Released · · Score: 1

    Easy - just convince some company that isn't married to Microsoft like Asus is to build one that's compatible with any OS suitable for teaching kids with.

  16. Re:Do the optimizations work for anything else? on Intel Caught Cheating In 3DMark Benchmark · · Score: 1

    Maybe the GP is using one of these

  17. Re:They all cheat on Intel Caught Cheating In 3DMark Benchmark · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't forget 3DMark itself has also cheated to give Intel a higher score.

  18. Re:Security implications on An Electron Microscope For Your Home? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's possibly the best example of security through obscurity falling flat on its face I've ever seen.

  19. Re:Mr. Rupert: on Rupert Murdoch Says Google Is Stealing His Content · · Score: 1

    Maybe his robots.txt file has a "Disallow: /" line, though.

  20. Re:"they should have used ZFS or btrfs" on Server Failure Destroys Sidekick Users' Backup Data · · Score: 1

    If I was using a service like this and found out they were moronic ricers running btrfs, an unfinished filesystem where the disk format hasn't even been finalised, I'd pull my data out immediately.

  21. Re:Lynx on Why Microsoft's EU Ballot Screen Doesn't Measure Up · · Score: 1

    Maybe he doesn't know about ^L yet.

  22. Re:Why AT+T should stop whining like a spoilt brat on Why AT&T Should Dump the iPhone's Unlimited Data Plan · · Score: 1

    Oh great, /. doesn't know how to count so now my subject line sounds perverted.

  23. Why AT&T should stop whining like a spoilt bra on Why AT&T Should Dump the iPhone's Unlimited Data Plan · · Score: 1

    Would this bandwidth disaster have happened if they hadn't simply embezzled those billions of tax dollars of government handouts they were given to prevent this happening in the first place?

    I hope these scum go bankrupt after their network crashes and the iPhone cash cows jump ship. Same for every other ISP and telco in on the scam.

    Those are good points and I take that comment back.
