  1. Re:Its Nepotism, Stupid on BBC's iPlayer's Prospects Looking Bleak · · Score: 1

    Hmm, does that satellite carry their radio stations as well as the TV ones? I've never been able to get a usable signal for either, and I'm more or less right in the middle of the UK.

  2. Re:Mass inserts into mysql... on Building a Fast Wikipedia Offline Reader · · Score: 1

    Neither is SQLite, but that doesn't mean nobody should use it ever.

  3. Re:It doesn't take days on Building a Fast Wikipedia Offline Reader · · Score: 1

    Please not that you need a properly configured MySQL server in order to efficiently run a local copy of Wikipedia, which must have at least 8GB of ram. In other words, your post is a complete waste of space given that he said in TFS that this is for a laptop.
  4. Re:he was meant to say on Crowther's Original Adventure Source Code Found · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know, I'd rather have other people see me as a nerd than as someone gratuitously illiterate and idiotic.

  5. Re:It's interesting that on A Three-Way AMD Opteron Server · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that there's no comparisons to the X360's 3 core design.

  6. Eh? on Open Source Community's Double Standard · · Score: 1

    Where's this alleged huge crowd of people whining about Redhat and MySQL?

  7. Re:When some Novell MBA realizes suing Linux distr on SCO Loses · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't worry. Novell are distributing that source code under GPL.

  8. Re:And all of a sudden.... on SCO Loses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you wanna complain about Microsoft then talk to me about things like Desqview, or FoxBase, or Magellan or New Wave. How about the Halloween Documents?
  9. Re:Secure wget! on Hardening Linux · · Score: 1

    It'd be safer to just have an execute-permission whitelist for the httpd user.

  10. Re:There's always the Intel drivers. on ATI Driver Flaw Exposes Vista Kernel to Attackers · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen, even nVidia are making an effort to improve their 2D driver. ATi don't even bother having someone respond to the mailing lists.

  11. Re:Solution to the H2 problem on NASA Tests Hydrogen-Fueled BMW · · Score: 1

    H2 + O2 = 2 H2O

    So we all either drown or asphyxiate! Yay!

  12. Re:Fueling Stations & Price of Fuel on NASA Tests Hydrogen-Fueled BMW · · Score: 1

    $5 a gallon?

    Where I live it's already that much and still rising. H2 at equivalent prices would be a massive success.

  13. Re:That's a lot to read on OpenGL SuperBible · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it sounds nice until you try to make GTK and SDL co-operate.

  14. Re:Firefox to the rescue on The Java Popup you Can't Stop · · Score: 1

    And unlike just about every other browser including IE, Firefox/Mozilla _still_ doesn't have per-site white/blacklists for Java/Plugins/Javascript after a decade. I shouldn't have to constantly go into the options to flip a big on/off switch before I click a link to another site and then remember to toggle it again before I leave.

  15. Re:tho? on Bank Run in Second Life · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wow, I can't believe that got modded offtopic. Some people can't even read the fucking summary these days.

  16. Re:End of SPARC near? on Sun Moves Into Commodity Silicon · · Score: 1

    It won't be the end of SPARC. SGI and Acorn may be dead, but that hasn't stopped the PSP and DS from existing.

  17. Re:LED grow lights on Homeland Security Commissions LED-Based Puke-Saber · · Score: 1

    I get the same with the LED spotlights on my desk... only they run off a 2W power brick and aren't equivalent to 40W, let alone 400. Good for keeping unwanted visitors out though.

  18. Re:What about other options? on Nukes Against Earth-Impacting Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I'd rather they just whack it out of solar orbit and into the sun. Problem solved.

  19. Re:Mozilla Corporation becoming truly corporate? on 10-Day Patch Guarantee Not Mozilla's Policy · · Score: 1

    You mean like SCO?

  20. Re:What?! on Netcraft Says IIS Gaining on Apache · · Score: 1

    I stopped using it because lighttpd does everything I was using apache for. Less features = less stuff that can possibly break.

  21. Re:All you need to read is this sentence... on Procedural Programming- The Secret Behind Spore · · Score: 1

    The same thing that went wrong with Digg, except the Slashdot Editing was also kept.

  22. Re:Oh please. on MSN Censors Your IM · · Score: 1

    You know, you can minimise that window just the same as you minimise the IM client's buddy list full of idle users. There's nothing forcing you to stare at it all day.

  23. Re:Aren't they being lazy? on id and Valve May Be Violating GPL · · Score: 1

    They're already using GPLed code so why not skip the DOSBox part altogether and use one of the community ports? It's not like they have cross-platform compatibility as an excuse.

  24. Re:They should sell advertising... on Microsoft Cuts Vista Price To $66 In China · · Score: 1

    $10 version that forces you to watch ads or $1 Vista Ultimate.

    Yeah... I can see them flocking to it already.

  25. Re:Why not? on New Theory Explains Periodic Mass Extinctions · · Score: 1

    Look at Chernobyl or the Savannah river plant...Both shut down, both radioactive, both experiencing a resurgence of pretty healthy wildlife across the board. And both lasted how many minutes?
