  1. Re:Percentages...? on IE Not Faring Well In the EU Ballot · · Score: 1

    How can you have over 100% of market share? Is there some untapped market that suddenly wants the product after it's saturated the entire existing market?

  2. Re:The point on Flaw In Emergency Response System May Have Killed Hundreds · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm with you... I am thoroughly confused about the newsworthiness of this aside from that Hugh Pickens submits tons of stories.

  3. Re:PDF much? on Athena's Free Firewall Browser · · Score: 1

    Oh, right, cause most of the people in the world use one of the other viewers that crash all the time.

  4. PDF much? on Athena's Free Firewall Browser · · Score: 1

    For a product that lists Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 (or later) or Firefox 2.0 (or later) or PDF reader for reading HTML/PDF reports in the system requirements, there's a helluva lot of PDFs on that site.

    A security company flogging wares via one of the most exploitable formats...

  5. Re:Internet Glasses on Solar-Powered Augmented Reality Contact Lenses · · Score: 1

    There is nothing about this story that invokes a mandatory reference to anime.

  6. Re:sounds cool but... on Solar-Powered Augmented Reality Contact Lenses · · Score: 1

    Moller is trying as hard as they can.

  7. Re:Contact lenses that I would use on Solar-Powered Augmented Reality Contact Lenses · · Score: 1

    Bummer, I guess mine was super mild.

  8. Re:Contact lenses that I would use on Solar-Powered Augmented Reality Contact Lenses · · Score: 1

    I had mild astigmatism and regular contacts worked fine. I also never poked out my eyes.

  9. Re:Yes I Do Want on Solar-Powered Augmented Reality Contact Lenses · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just wait for the malware on whatever drives the display... You could actually punch the monkey and win!

  10. Re:I can't believe we are still discussing this .. on The Coming Botnet Stock Exchange · · Score: 1

    I'd be up for disconnecting them from the matrix.

  11. Re:Security Failings on Humans Continue To Be "Weak Link" In Data Security · · Score: 1

    I have no idea why that would be the easiest. The pass is nothing personal or memorable. You just happen to like the left side of your keyboard. It's similar to having the password of asda.

  12. Re:Alternative on Why Are Digital Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 2, Funny

    inability to hear things (including his wife)

    That's a feature, not a bug.

  13. Re:Why? on Why Are Digital Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Do a GIS for 'price elasticity'.

    I did, but my geographical information system didn't yield any relevant results. Then I looked at the stock ticker for General Mills, but I don't why a food processing company is involved with hearing aids.

  14. Re:Thanksgiving in USA != Thanksgiving elsewhere on Rock Band 3 Officially Announced For Holiday 2010 · · Score: 1

    I thought everything was twice as long in Canadia.

  15. Re:SaaS will suffer for this on Facebook Founder Accused of Hacking Into Rivals' Email · · Score: 1

    SSL doesn't matter if they are logging bad password attempts. They aren't in the middle, they are the end.

  16. Re:bundle fees have to end on ABC Pulls Channels From Cablevision · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the entire US require naked DSL availability?

  17. Re:bundle fees have to end on ABC Pulls Channels From Cablevision · · Score: 1

    If you think that Discovery Communications isn't one of the most profitable and popular network of cable channels, I have a bridge to sell you.

  18. Re:Pay per time watched on ABC Pulls Channels From Cablevision · · Score: 1

    Not at all. That's what a la carte means in this context (and has never when it comes to discussing cable packages). He means pick and choose your channels and not pay for the channels that you never watch. Not some sort of pay per viewing of a show model.

  19. Re:It's the freeloaders time on Ars Technica Inveighs Against Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    A lot of smaller publishers embed ads in iframes, so for instance if they are calling Google's DFP to serve them they don't slow the load time of the content that you sought. And they are called via JS.

  20. Re:sounds like Xirrus. But I'd recommend... on Best WAP For Dense Crowds? · · Score: 1

    Priced competitively with Cisco? This a community organization, they don't have the money to pay outrageous amounts. Why not lend them some of your kit and gain bragging rights?

  21. Re:Excuse me? on Ubuntu Gets a New Visual Identity · · Score: 1

    Will I still be able to use Ubuntu on Saturdays?

  22. Infoworld's mobile site on Terry Childs's Slow Road To Justice · · Score: 1

    The auto browser detection and print destination URL aside... It's an absolute mess and was a chore even finding the correct story from a mobile browser. Have they ever used it? That's what I get for trying to RTFA.

  23. Re:A slap in the face to all American veterans. on Court Rules Photo of Memorial Violates Copyright · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm not worried but then again I'm not in the US.

    Then what gives you any credibility to comment on how US courts work?

  24. Re:Milliseconds on Schooling Microsoft On Random Browser Selection · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yep

  25. Re:"Curiously"? on Secret Service Runs At "Six Sixes" Availability · · Score: 1

    then that's kind of lame

    No, that's the quality of reporters these days when everyone has a blag, the true folks have forgotten what separated them.
