  1. Not on Linux it isn't on YouTube Introduces 60fps Video Support · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu 14.04 still only plays at 10 FPS in full screen mode. Bastards. Every streaming video site *except* YouTube plays flawlessly in full screen mode.

  2. Re:AOL are still going? on AOL To Buy Huffington Post · · Score: 1

    Rooting your phone is free, as are several tethering apps in the Android market. If you are already paying for data on your phone, why not use it.

  3. Re:Journalism on The Push For Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" Rally · · Score: 1

    But Bill O'Reilly awarded himself the Peabody a few years ago; that's a very prestigious journalism award. I think that counts as positioning yourself as a journalist.

  4. Free Geek the stuff on What To Do With Old 802.11b Equipment? · · Score: 1

    Please don't bin the stuff, it's horribly contaminant to the environment. Recycle it through your local electronics recycler, in Portland we have a non-profit called Free Geek that will even work to give it a second life before it gets tossed. - www.freegeek.org

  5. On the Sabbath? on Potato-Powered Batteries Debut · · Score: 1

    Does this mean they can now recharge their iPhones on the Sabbath? They just can't use their iPhones.

  6. Hope Zuk's feeling rich on USPTO Lets Amazon Patent the "Social Networking System" · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Amazon has a "1-Click Ordering" system in place for patent licensing fees.

  7. It does work on Is the 4th Yellow Pixel of Sharp Quattron Hype? · · Score: 2, Informative

    First - if it's working correctly you shouldn't even notice it. Second, Sanyo has been doing this for a few years in their projectors. The yellow panel helps warm up the color range and keep your tv's backlight from getting too far in the blue range. Read Sanyo's whitepaper: http://us.sanyo.com/shared/docs/QuaDrive_SANYO_WhitePaper08.pdf Alternatively try searching for Sanyo Quadrive

  8. Re:What the fuck is a HTPC? on How Neuros Built Their Nearly Silent HTPC · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's a nickname that's going to take off...

  9. More likely a Linux client on Steam UI Update Beta Drops IE Rendering For WebKit · · Score: 1

    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=steam_confirmation&num=1 It's old, but talk of Steam coming to Linux has been going around in a number of places.

  10. Mimo USB Monitor on Running Old Desktops Headless? · · Score: 1

    http://www.mimomonitors.com/ 7" LCD, 800x480, USB monitor Pretty sure there's a Linux driver for it somewhere, too lazy to look. I'm also too lazy to see if someone else already mentioned this idea.

  11. Re:Stealth Technology is Too Dangerous on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 1

    I would never presume to give up our nuclear submarines! I was inferring that Stealth Technology is is too dangerous! We need all the nukes we can get to fend off the enemy. However, if we hide all of our nukes, how will the enemy even know we have them? I say show them off!! By the way, the entire idea of my post was intended with the utmost sarcasm. Don't turn me into a troll!

  12. Re:Stealth Technology is Too Dangerous on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 1

    The idea has merit...

  13. Stealth Technology is Too Dangerous on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe if they weren't in super stealth mode they would have seen each other and the accident could have been avoided. This technology is too dangerous and needs to be outlawed through international treaty. The up side is that we know that stealth works!!

  14. It's a show about nothing. on Seinfeld-Windows TV Ad Anything But 'Delicious' · · Score: 1

    "one of the most pointless ads in history" seems appropriate from the guy who starred in the self admittedly "Show about nothing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjDnGBrhhaQ

  15. Cliffsky is a pirate too! on Game Developer's Response To Pirates · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Isn't it ironic... I went to the "response" page listed and what did I see? Two screencaps from Priates of the Carribean. That is porperty owned by Disney, did Cliffsky get copyright approval to post those images on his "response to piracy" page? Is he no better than the very pirates he is trying to appease?

  16. The XKCD Map of the Internet IPV4 (2006) on Computer Art For a CS Dept Office? · · Score: 1

    http://xkcd.com/195/ A must have for any CS department

  17. I sense a crowd-source solution finder on Fermilab Calls For Code Crackers · · Score: 1

    Seems more like a crowdsourced solution finder to me. Fermilab probably couldn't figure out some super-secret sequence of genes or something. They posted an analogous problem publicly and watch what people come up with, then apply it to the real problem secretly. Good time and labor saver, that is!

  18. Re:Ubuntu Gutsy already updated... on Debian Bug Leaves Private SSL/SSH Keys Guessable · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're sending it upstream? Or Canonical is worried that their distro's popularity over Debian (no insult intended) means that they should take matters into their own hands and they don't feel that they have the time to wait for something to come downstream. Or the patch is readily available/accessible and they could update their packages to reflect what will be coming from Debian.

  19. Re:Ubuntu Gutsy already updated... on Debian Bug Leaves Private SSL/SSH Keys Guessable · · Score: 1

    No, but replacing bad keys with good ones is now an option...

  20. Ubuntu Gutsy already updated... on Debian Bug Leaves Private SSL/SSH Keys Guessable · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Got up this morning, booted the machine and got a software update first thing: OpenSSH (et al) updates for my Ubuntu Gutsy install. Then I show up over here and see why. Presumably Feisty and Hardy got them as well - they are listed on the Ubuntu announcement.
