  1. Re:AI problem? on Choosing Better-Quality JPEG Images With Software? · · Score: 1

    yes, that was my first thought as well, compare filesize, dimensions and EXIF (if available). Filesize and dimensions alone should give you a factor that could be used well although there might be edge-cases where files are mislabeled as JPEG when they are in fact bmp or whatever. You should verify them by probing the file header as well

  2. viral browser market cleaning on Alarm Raised For "Clickjacking" Browser Exploit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ok - i read TFA, scanned all the links blogs, their trackbacks and comments and from what i've seen there is no real info on what this is. Thinking about it for 2 minutes I had this idea that this will be best chance ever to get rid of IE6. My hope is that all the browser vendors (including MS) have conspired that maybe 3 weeks of making scary "clickjacking" news and pushing them to the main media outlets will eventually raise awareness to let go of that horrible thing that's keeping the web from really evolving. finally a good excuse to disable your content for outdated browsers that aren't patched any more because the user might accidently the whole clickjack. But in the end - if the download links don't get clickjacked that is - MS will propably release some stupid patch that prevents IE6 from clickjacking alltogether and it will be 3 more years before IE6 leaves for good....

  3. Re:Programming patterns = very good "cookbooks" on Wicked Cool PHP · · Score: 1

    sorry man but you fail! joomla is one the worst examples of how not to write any code. As much as i love open source software i have to say that joomla really is done badly. I am really looking forward to the next major typo3 release

  4. Re:Game and Slashdot on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    the slashdot bug exists because you have adblocked google site statistic and/or advertising scripts.

  5. Re:Nameless Firefox Bookmarks on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    when a site i want to have in my bookmarks bar does not have an favicon (fx: my pizza-service does not have one) i just search another site with a nice favicon, bookmark it, edit the name to "", click it once to make the favicon appear, edit again and put in the desired URL. This also works for sites that have an favicon but an ugly one and you want another sites' for the bookmark.

  6. Re:Easy way to detect a bugged phone on How To Tell If Your Cell Phone Is Bugged · · Score: 1

    this also may happen when your phone is switching providers or something. my german o2 phone also gives me access to t-mobile's network and sometimes for no reason it will switch, while i am not moving.. then those bzzz-brrr-bzzz sound also appear

  7. "unknown country" on Deconstructing a Pump-and-Dump Spam Botnet · · Score: 1, Interesting

    i guess many of those from "unknown" are actually german since germanys largest ISP cannot get its head out of his arse and finally change hostnames to something.DE.. instead it is .net all the time for most germans. This also always causes great disconcert when you have to explain logs to a customer and the damn script does not base location on IP but on host..
