  1. Scientific Linux! on Most Useful OS For High-School Science Education? · · Score: 1
  2. Bigger hard drives... on Australia Air Travelers' Laptops To Be Searched For Porn · · Score: 1

    How exactly do they plan to search through, laptop has like 500 GiB hard drives, and I'd constantly be upgrading to the biggest 2.5" I can get in my machine.

  3. pr0n on Haptic Gaming Vest Simulates Punches, Shots, Stabbing · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This "feature" is going to be (ab)used by adult game developers...

    XD

  4. New and shiny on Tax-Free IT Repairs Proposed For the UK · · Score: 1

    Ultimately though it is just hard to resist to buy new hardware when you can afford it.

  5. Choice. on Ubuntu Will Switch To Base-10 File Size Units In Future Release · · Score: 1

    I don't care as long as I can choose *iB or whatever label they use for base 2, rather than Apple's way of Kilo = 1000 and we are not giving you the option to use Kibi = 1024 even though they are both technically correct.

  6. Usability. on Ars Technica Inveighs Against Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    I don't use ad blockers, but I don't usually have javascript turned on and flash is not installed. If your ad doesn't work without scripting or flash, then your ad has usability problem, it is your ad that is inaccessible rather than me trying to cut your revenue.

  7. Oh no! on Apple Removes Wi-Fi Finders From App Store · · Score: 1

    Oh no! Can they actually hack into my phone and remove that app since they have removed it from the app store?

  8. BULLSHIT on Aussie Film Industry Appeals ISP Copyright Case · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That's BULLSHIT. If anything it is the AFACT (a fag) who is destroying the Australian digital economy such shameless people!

  9. So how do I remove it? on Mozilla Debates Whether To Trust Chinese CA · · Score: 1

    I try to find CNNIC in FireFox I saw verisign thawte and whole heap of others but not CNNIC does that mean I don't have it?

  10. Windows 7 _IS_ mean and lean. on 86% of Windows 7 PCs Maxing Out Memory · · Score: 1

    What? Windows 7 _IS_ indeed the mean and lean version of Vista. It is is just still not as fast and feature rich as other modern operating systems, you can cut the fat of a pile of crap all you want, but in the end crap are still crap.

  11. Someone doesn't like second hand market? on Sony Joins the Offensive Against Pre-Owned Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doesn't look like a smart move to me after all the bad press with the sony DRM and rootkit.

  12. Thank you! on Google Rejects Australian Censorship Proposal · · Score: 1

    Thank you Google!! For what you did in China and Australia (2 place that I live in the most) I will be switching back to use google's search engine!!

  13. Re:1.3 on The Final Release of Apache HTTP Server 1.3 · · Score: 1

    I would have been in the same boat if I didn't want to use SNI with Apache 2.

    Or does Apache 1.3 actually support SNI now?

  14. Why include such term in the first place? on Danish FreeBSD Dev. Sues Lenovo Over "Microsoft Tax" · · Score: 1

    I always have wondered, why MS have included such term in their EULA in the first place? What good does it do to them? I don't think any other OS or software have anything like this.

  15. Re:Why another filesystem?! on Linux Kernel 2.6.30 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes love it is called VFS.

  16. GNU/Linux!!!??? on Harsh Words From Google On Linux Development · · Score: 1

    Don't call it GNU/Linux, you got to give credit to all!!

    It is GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv.

    Man that looked like a pair of boobs... sigh...

  18. Re:Not very good blocking software on Australian Censorship Bypassed Before Live Trials · · Score: 1

    It depends on what web browser are doing.

    FireFox for example uses the local DNS server by default even when set up to use a SSH SOCK server.

    You can configure FireFox use tunnel DNS through SOCKS if you want, there is an option in about:config, however I am not sure if that really really works, it should...

    Anyway my solution is to use FoxyProxy, which has an option in a tick box to tunnel DNS through thr proxy, it does work, I have tested it, by sniffing my own outgoing packets.

  19. Re:Not very good blocking software on Australian Censorship Bypassed Before Live Trials · · Score: 1

    Yup, and they just switch to a white list instead, only allowing SSL connections to a limited number of preselected IP addresses.

    Stupid, I know, but that's exactly what they'll do.

    Then you need stegography, which I am not sure how one can block that...

  20. The jggimi OpenBSD LiveCD / LiveDVD on BSDanywhere Announces First Release · · Score: 1

    jggimi's OpenBSD is quite good as well, you can choose between Gnome KFD Xfce or FluxBox; and they come up usually one week after the official release rather than waiting for months. http://jggimi.homeip.net/livecd/downloads.html

  21. Re:Uptime... on Microsoft Considers "Instant On" Windows · · Score: 1

    Any vendor who still work on the assumption that a majority of their laptop customers to still turn off their machine everyday is doomed to fail.

  22. Re: IOW... on Apple Attempts to Patent Pre-Existing Display Software Idea · · Score: 1

    But you know what? Expose is also obvious, and no one did it until Apple...

    Oh really

    http://vizzzion.org/images/kde-4.0-post-rc1/kwin-expose.jpg

    And you can't search for the window in OS X's Exposé, you must manually look at all the windows to search for the one you are looking for...

    On Linux you just type the name and it search for you... now that is innovative to me.

  23. Re:In a word... on Psystar Will Countersue Apple · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you've bought an OEM copy of Windows and installed it on an existing computer or a VM, then you've probably violated the EULA and should have paid 3x over the odds for a "full retail" copy. No incentive to cheat the system?

    Hmm... when you create a VM, wouldn't that effectively a new machine? It may be virtualised, but as far as Windows goes, it is just a computer.

  24. Re:all Linux distros allow this on Local Web Server For Web Development? · · Score: 1

    You don't "install" the OS when you get a Mac. You plug it in, your power it on, it works.

    Actually, you power it on, watch the Welcome movie (compulsory), fill out some forms, THEN it works.

    Going to the shops, buy a Mac, then come back doing the above, is going to take more money and time then just insert a Linux/BSD CD and startup apache.
