Re: Pascal ? Really ?

wow a whole 5 years.

but they used the https port, LOL

Kind of like sending your mail in an acetate envelope and marking it with Private and Confidential.

Re: today we are going to learn about IT

Next week the lesson is on open standards

I need you to prepare by downloading openstandards.doc onto your Zunes

Re: Implanted inside the skull or worn on the skin?

They're going to invent a device that can cheaply and quickly implant it into the brain. The device will possibly take the form of some kind of addon for the Police baton.

Re: @Truth4u

I don't have any interests beyond the basics; mainly consuming several pounds of biological matter a day and blowing it out my ass 12 hours later. Aside from that I spend a lot of time on Youtube watching nerdy videos and writing "witty" comments.

You say it's not important to impress women, but I think women are looking for someone a little "better" than me.

Re: Good news!

What apparatus do you have to measure this? I tried drawing lines on the side of the bath but they were too close together

Re: To be less coy about it...

as suspected

a nice fast linux machine with open source browser is like god mode for the internet. I hope linux doesn't win on the desktop because frankly the general public don't deserve an ops system that powerful. They can stick with their windows/xbox streaming/toy computers. Bonus points if they store all their files on someone else's file server. (lol).

Re: In support of "illegal" downloads.

maybe op has pentium 3 and 80gb pata drive LOL

"Cars get better every generation"

Not really. All the engines are made by the same company anyway, they just change the cheap plastic bodywork each year to match trends and ensure it will damage easily.

If they didn't have to meet EU standards for emissions and efficiency then they wouldn't and we would have the same crappy cars as China does.

Re: Adobe Flash exploits... still?

When the HTML5 player for youtube works properly in browsers other than Chrome who is going to need Flash? Not me.

Re: Typical households need 10Mbps

well yeah, all of those things.

Its like the difference between having a card-op leccy meter and a real one. Sure you can live like that, but its not exactly an aspirational standard for the whole country is it?

Re: Don't Worry About That

Do you think Al Gore turns off the lights in his 27 room mansion before he flies to his 30 room mansion?

Or (more likely) is his 30 room mansion lit all year round to save his butler the effort of turning on the lights for the 3 days a year Al Gore deems it necessary to actually stay there?

Once you've made the switch to a flat screen, watching a CRT is like staring at a strobe light

Re: finally

Even more annoying in the supermarket when said pie is in a box, so you can't tell until you get home that you just bought an expensive ramekin with some sandwich meat in it.

"This is a nice weighty pie", I thought foolishly.

Re: Lame

Do I want to use the Microsoft encryption with the NSA master key that allows FBI et al to unlock all your "encrypted" files whenever you're accused of the heinous crime of copyright infringement? Or would I rather use open source mathematically correct encryption where only I hold the keys. Again it's such a hard choice. Tell you what Microsoft, why don't you take several hundred of my dollars and decide for me, because I'm obviously far too stupid to decide for myself.

And what's the point of encryption if they give the keys to a bunch of corrupt government agencies in a foreign country where I have no vote? Doesn't sound very much like freedom to me.

Re: Latin, softwre and misunderstanding

Thinking in the abstract is the worst offense in schools.

Ask a teacher an abstract question and they'll tell you to shut up and stop wasting everyone's time. At least that was my experience.
