  3. Firefox/Linux on Safari/MacBook First To Fall At Pwn2Own 2011 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Firefox and Linux are under represented in pwn2own as usual.
    I'm not complacent, just saying it's nice.

    Your universe is only free for 10^1000 years. After that you're going to have to pay royalties.

    I'm so unpredictable, nobody can anticipate my location and momentum at the same time.

    I keep my utensils perfectly aligned in a vacuum chamber, using super conducting magnets you insensitive clod!

    You just need to learn to say no. This works 100%:

    Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Free PC repair"?
    You know WHY you didn't see that sign?
    'Cause it ain't there, 'cause repairing dead PCs ain't my fucking business, that's why!

    Those who can, do.
    Those who can't, work in human resources.

  9. Re:This is gonna be very rant like on Is Software Driving a Falling Demand For Brains? · · Score: 1

    Your saying we need a major war to waste ridiculous amounts of money on, and there might be some incidental invention going on.
    I'd rather IP laws were updated for the information age, and back to their roots of encouraging innovation.

    As for your 3 day working week, forcing that by law would make your whole nation uncompetitive, and it won't happen any other way because it appears to be in equilibrium. That is most people are willing to work 5+ per week.

  10. Re:They get it at least. on UK Gov't Says Open Standards Must Be Royalty Free · · Score: 0

    'Open' was hijacked long ago. Every freedom stomping evil corporation jumped on that bandwagon.

    Ah, what's the point. People are just going to give their passwords away when asked anyway.

    Or simply that you don't have any of those types of account?

  13. Re:Why need the password on Employer Facebook Password Requests Suspended · · Score: 1

    That's true. Might as well make it wikifacebook, edit your friends wall, upload embarrassing photo, revert status.
    Would this really be any less secure or private than facebook?

    First world countries? You don't travel much do you.
    Phones conquered the entire planet years ago.

  15. Re:Just because the "best days" are in the past.. on Are Google's Best Days In the Past? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Google is clearly lacking in some key areas, most obviously social.

    Google is still untouched in search. A core internet technology.
    The glorified RSS feeds that are facebook and twitter have no relevance to that market.

  16. Not good on Financial Malware Hijacks Online Banking Sessions · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://www.computing.net/answers/security/rapport-security-software-avoid-using-it/28295.html

    This product is to be avoided at all costs...if anyone is still having problems, I have managed to switch it off and uninstall it, altho' the Rapport/Trusteer team clearly did not want to help, and many believe it's not intended to be uninstalled.

  17. Re:How many warnings do we need? on Solar Flare Interferes With Radio, But No Big Auroras · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I recently watched an optical fibre being made. I already knew how they were made, but is was amazing how manual and labour intensive the process was.
    I just assumed the process of pulling the preform would be far more automated. This looked more like a lab experiment than manufacturing.

  18. Re:How can you be a freeloader? on Are Flickr Images Abused By Foreign Businesses? · · Score: 1

    Information wants to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

  21. Re:Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7 To Get Multi-Tasking, IE9, Xbox Integration · · Score: 1

    It probably will, but there are reasons it won't be quite so bad.
    IE9 styles arbitrary HTML elements, and "does" xml.
    IE6 - IE8 seem to have been maliciously designed to block all forward compatibility.

    I hate IE as much as the next guy. But credit were it's due.

  22. Re:Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7 To Get Multi-Tasking, IE9, Xbox Integration · · Score: 1

    IE9 isn't so ridiculously far behind the other browsers, for this to be funny any more.
    If Joe-six-pack must use a browser at all, let it be IE9. (And not IE8)

  24. Wooooooosh... on Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 9 RC · · Score: 1

    The point is, not everyone will upgrade to firefox 4 over night, even when it does get released.
    You'll have this lingering tail of late adopters, with misbehaving browsers.

  25. Re:Does it support... on Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 9 RC · · Score: 2

    I should add, the browser is fishing for X-Content-Duration headers.
    If you don't serve them, you'll get an orbital bombardment of '206 partial content' requests, as it attempts auto-discovery on every single track.
