  1. Re:Just block IE from your site. on Firefox Beta Scores 93 On Acid3 Test · · Score: 1

    Not defending the creator of this site but:

    Using ASP.NET is not the same as liking MS or ASP.NET. He could have been forced to use it.

    I am in that situation right now. And I loathe both ASP.NET and MS equally.

    It's already too late. You've sparked interest.

    Oh, an innocent 19 year old eh? How do we know this?

    Innocent until proven guilty.

  4. Re:Scary on Microsoft Adding jQuery To Visual Studio · · Score: 1

    Yes!

    Plain ASP.NET is not a framework made for modern web development.

    AJAX in ASP.NET is not really asynchronous either. As the stupid viewstate needs to be maintained between postbacks.

    This sorts of gives that term a new meaning?

  7. Re:YouTube on Ogg Theora In Firefox, With Wikimedia Support · · Score: 1

    Well the problem is that the state of the browser market is such that you have to design for different browsers inorder to make your site look right. If you also have to make 3 encodings of the same file, just to make sure that every browser understands what you want, then this is also against all that a standard is trying to do. In this case make all browser behave exactly alike, with no need for hacks.

  8. Re:Vorbis is alright, but Theora is the suck on Ogg Theora In Firefox, With Wikimedia Support · · Score: 1

    www.doom9.org instead.

  9. Re:YouTube on Ogg Theora In Firefox, With Wikimedia Support · · Score: 1

    I don't see why the standard can't simply say, "You must support at least one of the following codecs: Theora, MPEG4, or H.264" and be done with it.

    Think you meant to say: "You must support the following codecs: Theora, MPEG4, or H.264" Otherwise it doesn't make sense to make a standard out of it.

  10. Re:What about compression algorithms? on The Death of Nearly All Software Patents? · · Score: 1

    No it is not the same thing. gramophone is a device for reading and converting sound data. Keyword: Device. MP3 conversion algorithm is a mathematical description for converting numbers. Not a device.

  12. Re:"Awesome"Bar (was Re:Zoom) on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 1

    You need to learn it to enter slashdot.org for the term slashdot.org, so just hit enter when you have written slashdot.org then a little later you will have slashdot.org as top result and just entering slashdot will bring it to the top.

    The satellite is facing the same way towards Earth. Its spy cameras and all function much better when pointing in the right direction.

  14. Re:I agree on Vista Vs. Gutsy Gibbon · · Score: 1

    It's not hard either to find instructions to install wireless on Linux. The number one point made against using Linux.

    Even after you have installed a slipstreamed up to date version of windows XP, you'll have to install all other applications you need and probably also drivers for your graphics card and the like.
    And it still takes longer to install XP including all extra applications to have a system with same functionality as the Ubuntu default install.

  15. Re:Could be helpful in other ways on Neuro-Reckoning May Reduce MMOG Time Lag · · Score: 1

    That might be true. But the predictable nature of the algorithm is (although I haven't looked into it) very shortsighted, thus not making any huge decisions for you. It might be used to create bots, but it would require you to write a piece of software to interface with the neural network code, thus gaining access to the results of the computations of your "enemy" and then create input in reaction to those results. Although possible it's not a trivial problem to solve.

  16. Re:Could be helpful in other ways on Neuro-Reckoning May Reduce MMOG Time Lag · · Score: 1

    The neural net will only be used to predict the actions of anybody else ingame as a measure to counter any possible lag.

    Instead of the given lagging player running straight ahead the neural net might have come to the conclusion that the movement will stop or do something along the way. That way when the lag disappears the player wont "jump" location from the predicted to the actual one.

  17. Re:How could this get approved? on OSI Approves Microsoft Ms-PL and Ms-RL · · Score: 1

    An Open Source EULA. Though it only lightly touch the subject of distributing the source.

  18. Re:Flawed logic? on RIAA Sues Usenet.com · · Score: 1

    The scare tactics probably works better with the users of p2p clients and not the more "hardcore" usenet newsgroup users?

    But are the hosters of the content as liable as the person uploading it? The usenet.com CoC states that the member is liable for the use of the service.

  19. Re:Flawed logic? on RIAA Sues Usenet.com · · Score: 1

    Yes. The logic is the same as with trying to shut down torrent trackers and the like. If they aren't hosting any infringing content they aren't liable, but RIAA and other members of the MAFIAA wants to have them taken down anyways.

    If they want to take them down for facilitating the distribution of copyright protected work then yes, by that logic they should also sue the companies providing the bandwith.

  20. Re:MSFT knew what they were doing on Format Standards Committee "Grinds To a Halt" · · Score: 1

    That's just an assumption on your part. We cannot say that it would. But most certainly it would. Though MS might have given instructions to the bought voters instructing them on what to do in case of a win. But all of this is of course purely speculations.

  21. MSFT knew what they were doing on Format Standards Committee "Grinds To a Halt" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    when they bought a lot of the votes. Either OOXML will be approved and the standards organization will continue its work or else no other standard will get processed.
