  1. Re:What a CROCK OF CRAP (you're off)... on Linux Foundation, Linux.com Sites Down To Fix Security Breach · · Score: 0

    I'm new to Linux, and have become quite worried with Linux security.

    Looking at your post, I went to the links you provided.
    http://secunia.com/advisories/product/6436/?task=statistics_2011

    Scrolling down reveals this:
    "PLEASE NOTE: The statistics provided should NOT be used to compare the overall security of products against one another. It is IMPORTANT to understand what the below comments mean when using the statistics, especially when using the statistics to compare the vulnerability aspects of different products."

    If you continue reading it goes goes into further detail.

    Then I look at these pages
    http://secunia.com/advisories/product/27467/
    http://secunia.com/advisories/product/2719/?task=advisories

    This supports your comment.

    Can you explain this?

  2. Re:Value on Massive Diamond Found Orbiting Pulsar · · Score: 0

    I'd say make it a mini-Death Star. We can scorch the universe.

  3. Re:Complain to your application's maintainer on Windows XP PCs Breed Rootkit Infections · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately there are some people who NEVER reboot.

  4. Re:Stop me if I'm wrong but... on Getting the Latest Rover To Mars · · Score: 0

    A chute and big bouncy can cause many problems. Especially depending on the order in which they fire.

  5. Re:I'd miss the Firefox addons on Shuttleworth: Chrome Nearly Replaced FF In Ubuntu · · Score: 0

    I use Chromium's built-in javascript blocker.
    It also has a
    flash video downloader
    and flashgot extensions (plugins).
    Works fine for me.

  6. Re:What goes around... on Samsung Wants To See iPhone 5 and iPad 3 · · Score: 0

    Well said. I'm also asked that each time I whip out my Dell Streak.

  7. Re:And all for what? on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 0

    Go to the link, it's 1 option out of 4.

  8. Re:Don't know why - but I like it on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 0

    This topic should be burned with fire.

    As a side note; your explanation of the metric equivalent just means that it is simpler, not more natural.

    I believe people think that the imperial system is more natural because you can use yourself as the tool. For example a foot, I can estimate them by using my foot (give or take an inch) [or you can say it's 12 inches]. An inch is about the length from my fingertips to the joint closest to it.

    {Where they originated from is up in the air, but you can use those right now at your desk}

  9. Re:I have the Motorolla Atrix 4G on AT&T and . on How AT&T Totally Flubbed 4G · · Score: 0

    Funny thing about all of this that is that I get better speeds than AT&T 4G phones.

    Speedtest 2Mb down and 1.7Mb up on ATT 3G

  10. Dell? on An Open Letter To PC Makers: Ditch Bloatware, Now! · · Score: 0

    I've setup a lot of Dell PCs, and there isn't that much bloatware on them. Moreover not that many programs starting up upon logon. Usually you have to disable the Dell dock that's it.

    HP on the other hand...

  11. Re:The Companion on First Impressions of the 11th Doctor Who · · Score: 0

    I disagree with that mainly because, for a woman with her looks I'd say all three are on average perfectly viable.

  12. Re:Okay, I know this is off-topic... on Plasma Device Kills Bacteria On Skin In Seconds · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Anonymous posting.. . failed.

    Embarassment not thwarted.

    It took server br4nd0nh3at approximately 59 seconds to write this post.

  13. Imagine this on Console Makers Worry Over Apple's Growing Competition · · Score: 0

    And check this out; with Windows Mobile 7 coming out with phones with a 1 Ghz processor (and snapdragon or tegra whatever it's called) I'm sure gaming on phones will get even better. I think Apple will definitely start focusing "hardcore" on an Apple Game Store.

  14. An Educated Answer? on Attractive Women Make Men Temporarily Stupid · · Score: 0

    Kill all beautiful women! Oh wait does that count?

  15. Re:Hmmm on Nokia Leaks Phone With Full GNU/Linux Distribution · · Score: 0

    Sounds like an advertisement for the Death Star.

  16. The difference on UK's FSA Finds No Health Benefits To Organic Food · · Score: 0

    There is one difference, the price.

  17. Re:Is it just me or... on NASA's LRO Captures High-Res Pics of Apollo Landing Sites · · Score: 0

    no that is just what photoshop does sometimes, oh wait I mean......

  18. Deer Repeller on For Airplane Safety, Trying To Keep Birds From Planes · · Score: 0

    Anyone know if those Deer warning things on cars work for birds? Put those on a plane.

  19. Talk to a real pilot on Computers Key To Air France Crash · · Score: 0

    I must agree with the original post. Though it does sound a tad Pro-American. (what's the harm in that?) It's funny because I was talking to a 767 pilot Sunday about this and he said the same thing about the Airbus.

  20. Why? on Japanese ESRB Bans Rape Depiction In Games · · Score: 0

    Sometimes I really hate human beings. Whether the game helps or not is not the question, rape is detestable.

  21. Re:F-22 on Predator C Avenger Makes First Flights · · Score: 0

    Plus you can switch out pilots rather easily.

  22. What will Happen? on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 0

    I'm wondering if they are accepting donations for the fines they have received? Also concerning the verdict, it says the court took into account that they used the site for commercial use. Finally regarding torrents in general. People do not just torrent music. What about tv shows for personal viewing? (We can tape on VHS or dvd so we can also download) What about foreign ones? Those are perfectly legit and in many cases torrenting it is the only way to get some shows. Torrents are not evil. [I have no opinion yet on download albums though, but then again I dont do much]

  23. In Agreement on Violent Video Games Can Improve Vision · · Score: 0

    I must agree with this. I have eye strain and playing fps helps exercise my eyes. They don't get strained as much as long as I play regularly.

  24. Privacy? on Google's Chrome Declining In Popularity · · Score: 0

    I know I may be a little left behind but I'm still scared of that Google agreement.

  25. I'm Speaking to You.... on Mathematicians Solve the Mystery of Traffic Jams · · Score: 0

    It's funny how in every article I look at someone has to make it a national stupidity or intelligence case, what about an equation for that?
