  1. Re:Net neutrality never had a chance on Congressmen Send Letters, Hope For Net Neutrality Fades · · Score: 1

    I pay my bandwidth bills, Google pays theirs. Why should both me and Google pay even more to stop our connections being artificially slowed down?

    How on earth is this a leftist or GPL issue?

    You are indeed correct. I have no idea where I picked it up incorrectly. Probably Slashdot *shudder*.

    Except it wouldn't because they shutdown mobile base stations, telephone lines, electricity and water in the protest areas in Thailand.

    I think the GP means that you can't use apt-get directly because apt-get is built upon aptitude. What you said doesn't make much sense unless aptitude was built on top of apt-get.

    I'm using Chrome 5.0.375.55 beta and I still have http:/// in the address bar...

    Nice list there. It's good to see that everything not supported such as chrome, opera and friends are listed as N/A on non windows platforms.

    Better to pretend they don't exist then actually have support for them...

    You realise that actionscript in flash is ECMAscript right?

  8. Re:This is hilarious on Adobe Founders On Flash and Internet Standards · · Score: 1

    Nothing is stopping any user who wants to from writing a complete and total flash "language" from scratch. If you want to complain about flash then fix the problem and make your own, or else shut up because no one cares.

    Have thanks. It's called html+javascript.

    - It runs on more machines.
    - Supports blind people's screen readers
    - Scales the aspect ratio to fit the viewers screen
    - Doesn't require a pre-loader
    - Isn't limited to a subset of video codecs.
    - Still gives the user the ability to navigate a site even though JavaScript is disabled.

    Thanks but no thanks. The only things flash can do better at this time is webcams and microphones.

    There are only two types of people that think flash has a place anymore. Adobe employees and people who are employed to make flash objects. Like people who refused to learn proper web standards and css you will too soon become redundant finding yourself unemployable.

    So you're one of those fuckers that makes IE only apps... You're not a programmer, you're not a web designer. Just go do something else with your life as you're a failure at doing web.

    Shoulda used chrome.

    Thanks for that. Your remarks/insults have completely convinced me that Java is superior and should be used for everything. Oh wait, no, no you have not.

    How can you spend $6K usd on android sets? At around $500 a phone that's 12 phones. I don't think there are even 12 different types of android phones on the market?

    Screen sizes are not a problem because on the android it's best practice to do drawing by percentage, not exact pixels.

    As I understand it. The original is destroyed when transported otherwise it doesn't work. So your wife would be destroyed and be rebuilt in a different location.

    The question then becomes, are you still you or do you then become someone else with the exact same memories before being disintegrated.

    GCC and Visual Studio are only used at compile time, not when deployed to end users during execution.

    Not exactly. Profiling which is what I was talking about is when the program is analysed at execution time.

    You compile your code, run it, profile it and then compile again with the profiler optimisations. Sure, it's not as elegant as java JIT done on the user machine however it also doesn't bog down a user's machine doing something the developer should have done on their own machines before release.

    Profiling does that exact same thing and is already in GCC and visual studio. Sure it's not as elegent as java and JIT but it's still there and doesn't hog memory.

    Check out my post futher up about OLSR. It already does this by connecting to a mesh network. Also take a look at MANETs which is what OLSR is.

    The problem isn't the protocols. The software already runs on android! The problem is that not enough people are using it on their routers.

    I doubt that going to change unless someone goes out and installs routers all around town or a manet protocol is installed by default on router firmware.

    It's already happening, check out OLSR being ported to the android. With this your android can connect to an OLSR mesh network.

    I think what killed news groups was the pirates. All those smug people talking about how the just pay monthly to download directly rather then torrent ruined it for everyone.

  25. Re:browser bar privacy issue on Chrome Private Mode Not Quite Private · · Score: 1

    It's because chrome retrieves a list of popular web addresses matching your search. The same thing happens on the google main page with auto complete.
