    Those damn IT people and their correct usage of HTML tags on a tech website, always holding BBCode tags hostage for ransom...

    I'm glad you followed up with more information, but none of those two things were mentioned in your original linked TFA, usajobs especially...

    Sure you can, just get a developer license.

  6. Re:Count me... on Is Flash Really On 99% of Net Devices? · · Score: 1

    WTF is a marque tag? Please point me to the HTML spec that describes brands. If you meant marquee, it was never part of a W3C spec.

    Yeah, I guess I misread that part...

    Do you mean horizontally stretch?

  9. Re:Not ready for prime time on Netflix To Offer Streaming-Only Service Plans · · Score: 1

    I'd prefer more content cheaper than higher quality content. Ooooh, only two channel sound. So?

    I'd say that you are definitely in the /. minority on that one, how's that AM radio treating you?

  10. bad summary on Uncle Sam's Travel Site Grounded By Breach · · Score: 4, Informative

    The first line of the summary doesn't even match TFA. A few agencies, FAA & DoT are mentioned explicitly, started blocking the website on their networks to prevent the download of malware/viruses.

    TFA specifically says that user information was not compromised, the submitter's car reservation confirmation number from last month is safe. The site was not shut down and loads fine for me.

    What I don't get is the reasoning behind hosting 3 servers containing information on US government employees in Taiwan, what the hell?

  11. Re:bitch, bitch, bitch. You wanted Java, right? on Sun Slips Firefox Extension Into Java Update · · Score: 1

    There is no real reason anyone needs Java, every applet I have seen can be accomplished in a better way.

    That's a risk that you take when you split evenly. Salad man knew what he was doing.

  14. Re:He means something different then you think on Ballmer Pleads For Openness To Compete With Apple · · Score: 1

    The iPhone has 2 generations so far... Original had 3 hard drive capacities and the current one has 2. How is this one model?

    It's also relatively easy to flash the a WinMo device to remove carrier restrictions and add features. I was running cooked roms on WinMo devices for quite awhile before I switched to an iPhone.

  16. Re:Google.com?! on Microsoft.com Makes IE8 Incompatibility List · · Score: 1

    I love them, but building online properties in order to sell advertising is Google's core business, not searching data (unless you meant mining your data to target ads at you).

  17. legit modems? on Accused Rogue Admin Terry Childs Makes His Case · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This article gives better reasons for those modems being on the network than previous stories. Doesn't seem so rogue now, does it?

  18. Re:Apple has nothing to be ashamed of here on Handset Vendors Plug Micro-USB Charge Ports · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Kenwood (maybe Pioneer) the first aftermarket stereo to support iPod? You really think either company didn't work with Apple?

    How long have youtube videos been "news" and not idle crap for us to ignore?

    I don't see how it could be a prank when the Streetview guys were in on it.

    Mine does lose its setup, but I generally have to power cycle it once a week to regain a signal that has suddenly cut out, so I don't really see it as an additional burden.

    It's Comcastic!

  25. happy with it on OpenDNS To Block and Monitor Conficker Worm · · Score: 1

    I'll probably get "OMG what are you doing?" comments for this, but my internal DNS forwarders look to OpenDNS for my small business network and I'm very satisfied.

    Typo correction (yahoo.cmo) and shortcuts are very handy. I only use the categories try and block some malware/phishing and while it's definitely not the solution, every little bit of protection helps.

    My machines that actually need to know whether a domain is valid or not simply use other DNS, redirects are not a big deal and don't many cable companies do this too?
