  1. Re:Applies to all outside software on Security Expert Says Java Vulnerability Could Take Years To Fix, Despite Patch · · Score: 1

    http://pingtest.net/

    Tests for packet loss, requires java for that feature.

  2. Re:Java and Flash on Oracle Ships Java 7 Update 11 With Vulnerability Fixes · · Score: 1, Informative

    You have to manually install it or a piece of software you run needs it and installs it. No modern browser needs it nowadays.

    If there is USB support this should work for around $6. Probably crap range though

  4. Re:Just switched to Firefox 17 ESR on Firefox 18 Launches With Faster IonMonkey-Enabled JavaScript, Built-In PDF Viewe · · Score: 1

    08 January 2013: This addon is not compatible with Firefox 18 (yet). Mozilla removed a key method in their API that this addon was using to retrieve entries from the cache. Implementing the new method for getting cache entries will not be a trivial matter. I will release an update as soon as I can, but it could be a while.

    ESR versions are yearly if you care so much about fast releases.

    Mayan Calendar was right, it is the end of the world..

  9. Re:C'mon, idiots. on No More "Asperger's Syndrome" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Fact of life: if there are never any problems, and your task is keeping a service up, you may be fired because some bean counter will think you are a waste of money.

  10. Re:Speaking of long standing bugs... on Firefox 20 Will Finally Fix Private Browsing Mode · · Score: 1

    So... which browser has this "bug" fixed? Because none of them I've found work as intended.

  11. Re:It only took 4 years? on Firefox 20 Will Finally Fix Private Browsing Mode · · Score: 1

    Except I just tried it in the latest Chrome, Opera, and Firefox, and they all have the same bug. The fault is Adobe's, it should pass the keypress to the browser.

  12. Re:Shame there still aren't alternatives. on The Empire In Decline? · · Score: 2

    try using Arandr, it does the hard work for multimonitors for you.

  13. Re:Hey if China is whining about building them.... on Foxconn Thinks the iPhone 5 Is a Pain · · Score: 2

    Where are you pulling your numbers from? I would like to know how you came to your price figures if they actually did that.

    I don't care if you were sarcastic, I'm serious. I would like to know what the cost difference would be if the iPhone 5 was made in the USA versus China.

  14. Re:Nah on Should Developers Be Sued For Security Holes? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Simply requiring encryption when handling something sensitive like credit card info is a start. See: Sony and the PSN disaster.

  15. Re:The questions developers ask on The Rebirth of PC Gaming? Bring On the Modders! · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So why is TF2 the most valuable game to Valve, when it allows modding, and also puts them on sale?

  16. Re:Missing the point... on The Mathematics of 'Legitimate Rape' and Pregnancy · · Score: 2

    The difference between a cult and religion is mostly just semantics and tax exemption

    Concealed guns work just fine in Texas. And Connecticut has no drug problems due to legalized marijuana.

  18. Re:Handcuffs... on Hackers Hack Handcuffs at H.O.P.E. (Video) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You do know the amount of people that were for the American revolution was very small, and organized and worked pretty much the same way right? The only issue that's truly different is a lot of Occupy want to remove the large amount of student debt versus the large amount of British taxation.

    PS: Look at the date on that. August, 2010.
