    make sure you lube those fingers up real good just before you get started

  2. targeted advertising on Facebook Test Will Let You Message Strangers For $1 · · Score: 2

    so basically instead of blocking spam they are just forcing these people to do targeted advertising. With all the information advertisers have on users this should be no problem

    Why microsoft surface could succeed

    it would be essentially the same as cooking it in a pressure cooker

  7. molecular gastronomy on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 1

    it is basically science-lab-meets-kitchen. There was a show on tv called Marcel's Quantum Kitchen and he did all kinds of cool stuff with chicken and steak. I'm sure you could vacuum out all the juices and replace them with some sort of marinade

  8. Open Media is way ahead of you google on Google Warns Against UN Net Conference · · Score: 2

    Pronounce it like "gift" but without the "t"

  13. Standards compliance is not the issue on Microsoft Complains That WebKit Breaks Web Standards · · Score: 1

    the issue is the popularity of webkit on the mobile platform. Both iOS and android both supported it from the start, then blackberry and PS Vita adopted it because they were to lazy to fix there own engines. Now you want IE to do the same?! These extensions were prefixed BECAUSE they are non-standard and now that they are standardized both iOS and android have used the standard syntax for at least the last 4 releases. There is diversity on the desktop which is why these prefixes are ok on the desktop - everyone except for IE uses them and when a prefixed style is popular enough then they work towards standardization which is what helps the web grow. This is why diversity in the browser space is so important. We used to complian about IE on the desktop because of there popularity but we have a good balance of market share on the desktop now between gecko, webkit, and IE (I imagine opera is even seeing better support these days as a side-effect). Microsoft is just complaining because they are now seeing the flip-side of the coin in the mobile market - AND THEY ARE RIGHT! If android shipped with firefox instead of webkit then we wouldn't have this issue since the market would then be divided, somewhat evenly, between iPhone and Android

  14. XP/Vista support on IE 10 Almost Finished For Windows 7 With Final Preview · · Score: 1

    i think their refusal to support old, but still very popular, versions of the windows OS will be there death knell as users of XP and vista will be forced to switch to Firefox or chrome to keep there favourite sites fully working. Similarly with DirectX 10/11

  15. Shut the hell up! on Battery-Powered Transmitter Could Crash A City's 4G Network · · Score: 1

    stop pointing out the weak spots and giving the terrorists ideas!

  16. its not a screw you on Samsung Hits Apple With 20% Price Increase · · Score: 1

    This is all about marketing. Sure samsung is screwing apple over, but in doing so they know apple will need to increase prices from 599.99 (or whatever it is) to 601.99 or swallow the price increase. Psychologically 601.99 seems much higher - anyone with marketing experience can tell you that. As a result fewer ppl will buy iphones and get samsung galaxy S3s

  17. Re:razer synapse on Why Would a Mouse Need To Connect To the Internet? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    why not just add an sdcard to the mouse and store the settings ON the device.

    Web developers need a way to set custom security policies for there website and sandbox it. If the policies are not enforced(properly) then the website should not load.

  20. Re:New protection on Canadian Copyright Reform Takes Effect · · Score: 1

    Well, sort of. In the case of youtube google is the creator or the .flv video using videos provided by users. In the case of megaupload it is still the user

  24. Re:Cyber Reserve? on Department of Homeland Security Wants Nerds For a New "Cyber Reserve'" · · Score: 1

    If you have not already hacked your way into/onto the list you don't deserve to be part of it. At least that's how they SHOULD do it to keep out all the "1337 h@x0rz"
