Go

Surely the point is..

that wine is a serious geek-out for developers.

I know codeweavers and others have made a business out of it but surely it is just the pinnacle of geekdom to work on this (apart from the kernel of course!!)

Knowing how flippin complicated this is I'm always surprised when an app works under wine.

Ubuntu One ...

this has been one big fail for me.

Didn't sync files properly and when I tried to buy some tunes threw up a 500 internal server error....and i got charged!!

If this is to go mainstream then these things must be fixed.

Still dropbox and Amazon for me until they can top the ease of use of these apps.

Microsoft - please, please, please, please, please

just sod off!

No-one likes you, no-one is interested in you and increasingly we're forgetting all about you so please take yourself off somewhere nice and quiet and blow your chuffing head off. We'll even supply your weapon of choice.

Up yours

Signed

Everyone else

Surely there should have been more prostitutes in the car with George W

Labour are really good at pimping pr0n and terrorist sites. Keep it up guys...I know what i'll be doing later

Just a waste of time

Until someone puts together a viable alternative for moving away from Windows then this kind of antic aint gonna work.

RedHat have sussed it and i think Mark Shuttleworth's approach is more positive.

I hope the paper it was written on is long and thoroughly absorbent as that's all it will be used for!

And..

this is the same problem as phorm

As a previous post said, if we opted in to these sodding scams....oops schemes, then that would be acceptable - although nobody would do it of course.

Please, please, please just join Phorm and foxtrot oscar

Gates Horns

They had it right

Surely it makes no SENSE to go to that waste of time, heap of shit known as bing.

Please, Microsoft, just STOP.

bass daddy

To me ... to you

How can you be awarded something if you still have to prove you are capable of performing the task?

Sounds like another job for 'Bodgeit and Scarper'

bass daddy

It's time to put on music

Well with Judge Kermit there, how much more of a media circus can there be?!!

Perhaps animal could be a witness on behalf of the music RIAA

Well......

if you're using Symantec products then you've already noobed out and deserve what you get.

Simply change.

Surely...

it all comes down to openness.

If you are more open about vulnerabilities then you gonna be at the top of these lists.

But there again, Microsoft wouldn't hide problems with IE now would they?

But this question should be asked

When was it ever a good idea to allow any government to censor what people read?

I don't know about you but I'm an adult and am involved enough with my kids to stop them accessing anything dodgy. I don't need our dear politicians holding my hand when it comes to that.

And please do your research about ID cards and terrorists.

Paris Hilton

Hmmm

If you point a camera at someone because of their weight and then use this in a documentary about fat people then OF COURSE this is an invasion of privacy if you don't gain permission first. How else can it not be? End of!!

Paris? Because she's got a mighty fine booty that should be filmed and included in any documentary about anything at anytime everywhere. Nuff said

Sooo

I think we're missing the point here.

The point is how darn fit Sarah Palin is....mmmmmmm

luvly jubblies

It had better be open source!!!

Yet again they are attacking the wrong people. The real criminals with the real evil stuff will not leave it on their laptop for the world to see, with the minor exception of a certain Mr Glitter maybe.

Graphical woes

shame acceleration for my fekkin ati card doesn't work....can't play openarena....boo hoo

bass daddy
Linux

I think not chaps

"Piracy rates for Windows XP are much higher than for Vista, which Microsoft credits to Vista's anti-piracy technology rather than its popularity"

Hmmmmm according to a friend (honest Gov) the latest cracks even allow you to brand your pirated copy of Vista, download the latest service pack and merrily carry on using your machine.

Back to drawing board,eh guys?!!
