  1. better safe than sorry on Scientists Threatened For "Climate Denial" · · Score: 1

    So, it seems that some people think that sea-level and temperature rising is not that bad? It's the economy we should worry about? Life without SUV's and 50" plasma TV's isn't worth living.

    If the sea-level would by some miracle (not because of the pollution, ofcourse, why would it have anything to do with this purely random event) happen to rise. So what? The tundras would be now fertile and habitable.

    Well, I just wonder, what might THAT do to the economy, if we had to rebuild our coastal cities and agriculture few hundred mails to the north. Wonder if the priorities would be building more SUV's (which actually might come handy then) and plasma-screens or trying to evacuate the people and rebuilding cities.

    While the doomsayers might be wrong, I doubt it would hurt us to be more safe than sorry. Pollution, even if it didn't cause this global warming, hardly does any good? And I even think that life might be worth living without all these lovely toys we have. And we can't never build enough toys for everyone. And spending resources to get more toys, will take those resources from somebody else.

  2. Malware on Software Deletes Files to Defend Against Piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Well, this was a great advertising campaign for his software, Display Eater, and any piece of malware he plans to code in the future.

    Now he claims that this was only a 'scare campaign' and the program doesn't actually delete anything. What ever might be the truth, I still wouldn't trust this person.

    I wouldn't dare to install anything from this guy, since there would be no way to know what kind of tantrum he was having when he was coding and what nasty suprises might come bundled with his software. Hiring this person would also be pretty risky. If he don't get high enough salary, he will plant a bomb in your companys software.

    I doubt that this guy can blame piracy for the lack of money he gets from his software. I think that if you actually write good enough application you will also get paid. And if nobody buys your program, I think you should first look into mirror and at your product. Is it good enough, how many people would actually need this kind of program?

    Or are there zillions of pirated copies of Display Eater around and this guy would be a millionaire if it wasn't for those nasty pirates?

    Well, after this publicity, there won't be any kind of Display Eaters around. Hopefully. And perhaps this developer should be introduced with the law, just to make sure that he won't be coding any more malware in the future. We have enough of that allready.

    Even if Microsoft and RIAA can get away with 'scare campaigns', you might not.

    I will remember this name, Reza and keep far away from your 'products'.

  3. Re:Front End? Hardly on Firefox 3 In Alpha · · Score: 1

    Actually, I noticed that mouse moving issue when closing down tabs. But then also found that I was doing it wrong :) You are still trying to do it from right to left, while you should just put your mouse pointer on the leftmost tab you want to close, and do the fast 'click-click-click' you wanted.
