  1. Re:AMD SUcks on AMD Introduces New Opterons · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points. This is the funniest thing I've read on here in a while. It's goes above and beyond trolling.

  2. Re:you mean GNU and Android on Dual-Booting PengPod Tablet Can Run Linux/Android · · Score: 2

    I think the point is really that the summary makes it sound like Android is not Linux. It is Linux, but it has a different userland from what people normally think of as Linux (GNU/Linux).

    It's important to make the distinction because people have a tendency to forget that Android is Linux. As soon as it became popular many people accused it of not being "linuxy" enough.

  3. Re:Hilarious excuses on A Proposal To Fix the Full-Screen X11 Window Mess · · Score: 2

    Agreed. Why can't the plasma widgets just save their positions and change back when the resolution changes back?

  4. Re:jargon decoding on CyanogenMod Drops ROM Manager In Favor of OTA Updates · · Score: 1

    I thought I might mention, Sony does particularly nicely with bootloader unlocking. They have a website with instructions and everything.

    The only downside (for people who get their phones from carriers) is that they allow the carriers to prevent their instructions from working.

  5. Re:Chrome and IE on Firefox, Opera Allow Phishing By Data URI Claims New Paper · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm sorry, but that's downright untrue. See for yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Uri#Web_browser_support

    Microsoft has limited its support to certain "non-navigable" content for security reasons, including concerns that JavaScript embedded in a data URI may not be interpretable by script filters such as those used by web-based email clients. Data URIs must be smaller than 32 KiB in Version 8.

    Version 9 does not have the 32 KiB limit.

    Its a fucking owneasy it was to bypass this.

    What on earth does that mean?

  7. Re:The Downside .... on Canadians To Get Unbundled Cable TV Channels · · Score: 1

    I will miss channels. It was nice being able to turn on the TV and then completely shut off my brain. The ability to decide what to watch and when comes (for me) with the annoyance of having to decide what to watch and when.

  8. Re:I know this won't be a popular sentiment, but.. on Intellectual Property Rights: The Quiet Killer of Rio+20 · · Score: 1

    2013 won't be the "Year of Linux"

    I know that you're kidding an all that. But I should point out that 2013 doesn't need to be the year of Linux because 2011 was. Linux dominates the mobile space around the world now.

  9. Cloud computing? on First Steps With the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Make your own secure file repository, joining the cloud computing revolution?

    Last I checked, that's called a file server. Not the "cloud computing revolution."

  10. Re:Where's the one on Apple? on Windows RT Browser Restrictions Draw Antitrust Attention · · Score: 1

    I don't think I'm the only one who would much rather use Office for Mac than iTunes for Windows...

  11. Re:So... No $ = No Campaign? on Ron Paul Effectively Ending Presidential Campaign · · Score: 1

    the novelist Ayn Rand was not the inspiration for Paul's first name; he went by "Randy" while growing up

  12. Re:Comcast is an icon of the "new" Corporate Ameri on Netflix CEO Accuses Comcast of Not Practicing Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    There isn't one truly free market person in Congress on in Corporate America.

    What about Ron Paul? I'm under the impression that he's for the free market whether it hurts corporations or helps them.

  13. Proffitt? on Why Open APIs Fall Far Short of Open Source · · Score: 1

    1. Read an article about open APIs.

  14. Unreliable on Browser History Sniffing Is Back · · Score: 3, Informative

    This tool seems unreliable (at least in Chrome). I've been on YouTube five times in the past 48 hours and it still showed up grey on the sniffer.

  15. First (I think) on Feds Seize Korean Movie Download Portals · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Honestly this is getting kind of ridiculous, though. Doesn't the US government have more pressing issues on its hands right now?

  16. 350 Years of Silence? on 350 Years of Science Online · · Score: 0

    When I first saw the headline, I wondered how somebody could stay silent on the internet for that long.

  17. Re:So will verizon FIOS now open port 25? on FCC Finalizes US Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    Give it a rest. They give you literally every port except 25. The recommended port for smtp is 587, now anyway. You can't blame them for trying to prevent botnets from using zombies to send out spam.
    You have internet access at the advertised speed and unblocked port 80 (which most ISPs don't give). And all of this for a price that most people can only dream of. You should really consider yourself lucky.

  18. Re:So will verizon FIOS now open port 25? on FCC Finalizes US Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    That's weird, since it works for me. It's a non-issue, though because of the blacklist issue. If it were only a port 25 issue, you could just use a different port for sending mail...
    Since you have a hosted server, why don't you use that for mail? It's not like it's a very resource-heavy task. If for some reason you need to have a mail server in your home, you could set up a relay system.

  19. Re:So will verizon FIOS now open port 25? on FCC Finalizes US Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    Port 25 isn't blocked. The FIOS IP block is on the spam blacklist. See for yourself. Try sending mail to a server that doesn't have any kind of blacklisting.

  20. Re:So will verizon FIOS now open port 25? on FCC Finalizes US Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    I'm running a web server on residential FIOS, it's allowed. So is running a mail server, port 25 isn't blocked. The FIOS IP block is on the spam blacklist.

    How do you explain the popularity of Apache and Linux on enterprise servers, then?

    There are several ways. The easiest would be command+D to get to the desktop, and then alt+f4.
