  2. Re:!evil on IE 8 Passes Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    And all of the pages I'm looking at go away when that one browser crashes. Nice. What browser have you been using? Internet Explorer?

    You act as if I'm doing some work; its the computer doing what it does best, running another application. This sentence makes no sense. The computer is good at performing calculations, in fact the best performance comes from running one application at 100% but the performance is only good for that application. Running another application and another and another just splits the available resources to each program, and thus decreases the available performance each application can produce. You can't run 10 copies of Internet Explorer open and have them all have the same performance, they will all be worse than if you ran one.

    Which is why I never open 300 browser windows; or 300 windows of anything, for that matter. I close what i don't need. I don't need 300 web pages all at once, I can only read one at a time. 300 was an exaggeration, there is no need to take it at face value. If you close what you don't need, then you can just close the tab when you're done. You don't need 300 web pages all at once and you can only read one at a time, that is true. All tabs do is move the selection of windows from the task bar where it can be occupied by many other applications. Right now I have 6 windows in my task bar and 7 tabs open. Instead of having 13 windows in one selection bar, I have 6 and 7 in two. This helps with organization; What if you open up windows like winamp and then open up a new window? Now Winamp is in the middle of your two copies. With tabs it's just web pages. Also, a function of the tab is so that if you are reading along a page with a few hyperlinks, you can open them up in the background (middle mouse click) and while they load you continue reading to read them afterward. In conclusion, you fail.

    I get the feeling that you haven't the slightest idea what you're saying about bits.

    With ASCII passwords using only lowercase letters [...] adding uppercase, numbers and symbols gives you an extra bit or two of randomness per character What? ASCII is the standard for which characters are converted to numbers and then converted into binary to be transmitted. ASCII covers all the letters a-Z with a jump between upper and lower case. Please explain what you are saying here.
  5. Misleading on Microsoft Launches OSS Site, Submits License For Approval · · Score: 1

    Title is misleading. Microsoft is a domain whore, all they do is add domains under C:\whereverthefucktheyputIISdirectories\. I wanted to view microsoftopensource.com, not microsoft.com/opensource/. Fucking domain whores. They only have two! (Xbox.com and Microsoft.com).

  10. You know what, Rockstar? on 360 Limiting GTA IV In Some Ways · · Score: 1

    Shut up, Rockstar. Just shut up. Are you seriously telling me you can't fit an entire game on a 9.1 GB DVD? Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion only used 5.01GB on the disk, and over 40% of that is dialog. I'm sure they did something stupid like textured every single little rendered newspaper on the ground, or put dialog for pedestrians or something outlandish that is taking up so much space. I mean, Oblivion does it so nice and only uses half the disk! 200+ hours of gameplay, and you can't even finish the game without going "oops Low Disk Space warning guys?" Come on. Compress your audio!
