  1. Re:Quite crappy headline on .NET Programmers In Demand, Despite MS Moves To Metro · · Score: 1

    its probably similar to Isolated Storage in that you can access your data, but cant get details about how the file system is storing the file it just returned to you.

  2. Re:...the dock. on Microsoft Killed the Start Menu Because No One Uses It · · Score: 1

    Organized by publisher makes sense because when search fails its usually because of a badly named executable. In that case the most helpful hint is the name of the publisher which will usually be correct.

  3. Re:The problem with the "I'm an asshole" boss on Judge Rules Boss's "Firing Contest" Created a Hostile Work Environment · · Score: 1

    what exactly are you disagreeing with? that what I described is brainwashing or that it is the point of BCT?

  4. Re:Not a bad idea. on Help Liberate the Debian Administrator's Handbook · · Score: 1

    http://www.kickstarter.com/ is the website you are looking for.

  5. Re:TLS 1.1 or 1.2? on Google Prepares Fix To Stop SSL/TLS Attacks · · Score: 1

    unless the attacker sends a reset when they observe the client claiming to support TLS 1.1/1.2

  6. Re:"The criticism died down"... oh really? on Ballmer Hints At 'Metro-ization' of Office · · Score: 1

    Linux if I'm forced to use it, but I somehow doubt we will be.

  7. Re:Yeah, so I don't understand the decision here on Defunct Satellite To Fall From the Sky · · Score: 1

    In that case wouldn't it make more sense to use part of the fuel to put it into a decaying orbit and then use the last of it to do a controlled deorbit once gravity and friction had done most of the work?

  8. Re:Chance on Defunct Satellite To Fall From the Sky · · Score: 1

    Hide out in a cave til its over.

  9. Re:Methinks the public doesn't appreciate odds on Defunct Satellite To Fall From the Sky · · Score: 1

    shouldn't that be 1-((1 - 1/21T)^7Billion)?

  10. Re:No thanks on PS3 Enjoys Retail-Wide Sales Spike After Price Cut · · Score: 1

    You do realize you can get PSN without giving them your credit card info since it is free, right? Heck, even if you want to buy something you don't have to give them your CC info, just need to buy PSN cards at the store.

    I didn't actually know that. Thanks for the info.

  11. No thanks on PS3 Enjoys Retail-Wide Sales Spike After Price Cut · · Score: -1, Troll

    Who the would trust Sony with their CC Info at this point and why would I want a PS3 without PSN?

  12. Re:Bruce Schneier's take on New Research Cracks AES Keys 3-5x Faster · · Score: 2

    one time pad

  13. Re:But ... on Can Google Fix the Cable Box? · · Score: 1

    the reasons this isn't happening already are not technical and adding Google to the mix will not be a good thing for cable companies.

  14. This is a horrible idea on Mozilla To Remove User-Facing Firefox Version Numbers · · Score: 2

    Sure it works in a world where no change ever causes a regression its fine. In the real world not so much.

  15. Re:Hmmm on 8 Grams of Thorium Could Replace Gasoline In Cars · · Score: 1

    however gas stations would be dead so if you did run out you could be in serious trouble.

  16. weak on UK Police Arrest 12 Over Facebook Use Inciting Riots · · Score: 1

    Arrested for "encouraging disorder" sounds pretty weak? Anyone know what the actual content posted was?

  17. Re:That's nice. on Human Brain Is Sensitive To Light In Ears · · Score: 4, Funny

    Common sense?

  18. Re:Pretty cool on Iron Man-like Exoskeleton Nears Production · · Score: 1

    "in theater" has nothing to do with cinema.

  19. Re:November 5 on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    yeah... July 14th would seem appropriate on multiple levels.

  20. Re:Um... on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    V for Vendetta leaves out the whole jihad aspect.

  21. The printing press on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 1

    Really this is nothing more then the 21st century equivalent of the printing press. People are going to use it to communicate both good and bad things more efficiently then they were before.. this is both obvious and meaningless. I'm sure that both the automobile and public transport both factored into the riots and the only reason there aren't stories about that is that old people understand those technologies.

  22. Re:How were electric cars EVER supposed to work? on Smart Power Grid Could Wreak Havoc On Itself · · Score: 1

    Instead of millions of little ones we are just going to have thousands of big ones. Its a step towards a solution but not a solution in and of its self.

  23. Re:But I said all that years ago on Was .NET All a Mistake? · · Score: 1

    Do you realize how broken previous Mac OSes were? Microsoft made an equivalent switch in 1995.

  24. Re:Barriers To Entry on Was .NET All a Mistake? · · Score: 1

    The developers don't even bother to name them.

    Then your problem is that your developers suck. There are no "random errors" only bugs that need to be fixed.

  25. Re:Was this article all a mistake? on Was .NET All a Mistake? · · Score: 1

    You can't do that across the major consumer computing operating systems anyway.

    actually... with silverlight OOB you can. At least for windows and Mac. Moonlight might support OOB as well, but I can't comment on how well it works.
