  1. Jaiku? on Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality? · · Score: 1

    Isn't this more or less Jaiku? Except Jaiku has been in closed beta since forever, and has been more or less untouched since Google bought it.

  2. Re:The only thing I want to know... on Review of Das Keyboard · · Score: 1

    More importantly IMO, it gives you a new, almost unused set of shortcut keys.
    It's hard to find a Ctrl+[key] that isn't in use by some program, but you can easily find an unused Win+[key] for use with a background app.
    The ones I use the most are Win+up/down for maximizing/minimizing a window (an autohotkey script), win+numpad[1-9] for switching desktops (with virtuaWin), and win+z for play/pause in foobar2000.

  3. Re:Then STOP releasing the product! on Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the design flaw has become a "feature" over the years, and removing the flaw would break a lot of software. And if people are starting from scratch, they could just as well go linux or mac

  4. Re:Ahem on Google Begat the End of the Scientific Method? · · Score: 1

    Well, my conclusion is they preferred at man with a goatee instead of him

    Oops, I didn't see the GP, he was modded down. Nevermind what I said

  6. Re:Here's a thought on Compressed VoIP Calls Vulnerable To Bugging · · Score: 1

    But how about compressing the data before encryption?

  7. Re:Based on the quotes in the article header, on Nokia Urges Linux Developers To Be Cool With DRM · · Score: 1

    I can't really remember how the new IP-laws can hurt the FOSS-orgs. Can you please remind me?

  8. Re:I Disagree on Cell Phone Tracking Reveals Users' Habits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, you haven't tracked them to their home. You have tracked them to their cell tower, which covers a lot of space (my nearest cell tower here in suburbia has a radius of about 1700m according to Google maps mobile).

  9. Re:Too late on Hiding Packets in VoIP Chat · · Score: 4, Funny

    And since when is referring to previous relevant /. articles being a troll? Probably just someone trying to post a steganographic message using the /. mod-system.
  10. Re:Get on board or get left behind on What Web 2.0 Means for Hardware and the Datacenter · · Score: 4, Funny

    nah, I always order the -17dB milk

  11. Re:RTFA... on What Web 2.0 Means for Hardware and the Datacenter · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is no direct link to the story because there's no direct link between Web 2.0 and redundant hardware setups.

  12. Re:No it's not, and quit the stupid analogies on French Judge Orders Refund For Pre-Installed XP · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem is: is the OS a part of the computer? Car analogy: You can't buy a new car without a steering wheel. Should the car salesman be forced to give you money back for your steering wheel if you choose to install another?

  13. Re:I see that the French term for OS is... on French Judge Orders Refund For Pre-Installed XP · · Score: 1

    Free as in beer or free as in love?

    Phishing?

    Damn, are there really teasers like that?(serious question)
    If just the news anchors were as informative as you

  16. Re:Hmm on SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble · · Score: 1

    Wow, that's a lot! In Denmark it's about 2p from most operators. I can't really see how that can be justified, the population density of UK is about 2 times that of DK, and gdp/capita is within 1% of each other.
    Just goes to show that prices and cost has very little to do with each other in this market.

  17. Re:Pioneer and Voyager Comps Receive Uplink Update on What Is the Oldest Code Written Still Running? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Please don't. I for one am fed up of our modern PC climate where everyone is afraid to exercise their right of free speech in case someone isn't mature enough to deal with different views. Are you saying he should apologize for that remark? :)
  18. Long live the Code on The 25-Year-Old BSD Bug · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Am I the only one who thinks it's quite impressive to have 25 year old code still being used and employed on new systems?

  19. Re:why waste their time and money? on First Caller-ID Spoofers Punished · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I didn't say everybody on the list were pushovers. Anyway, that's the only explanation I can come up with.

  20. Re:why waste their time and money? on First Caller-ID Spoofers Punished · · Score: 1

    Maybe some people register on DNC-lists because they know they're pushovers?

  21. Re:How it's used? on Who Owns Software? · · Score: 1

    I call BS.
    Any culture made today could be made under a system of state sponsoring. You are not taking any profit away from the system.
    Instead, you are making extra culture that wouldn't be made otherwise because the target audience is too narrow.

    Yeah, I mean, why don't we all just start programming in brainf*ck or lolcode or something?

  23. Re:Are MAC addresses globally unique? on FBI and Next-Gen P2P Monitoring · · Score: 1

    I think you are correct. I've heard that some manufacturers reuse MAC addresses instead of getting more of them from whoever issues them, but I can't quote any sources

  24. Re:gotta love the FBI on FBI and Next-Gen P2P Monitoring · · Score: 1

    But how are you going to get that MAC? His computer only holds its own MAC, and the MACs of equipment directly connected to it (ie his router).

    That's what you get for not previewing. it's supposed to be Google Gears
