  1. Think of the Children on German Wikipedia To Be Published As a Book · · Score: 1

    I can't vouch for the validity of these article stats, but they do appear to be legitimate.

    Based on these top viewed pages, any book published using "popular" articles as a reference would be banal, amusing, and surreal. All at once.

    You've got the all-time favourite internet searches "sex" and "naruto" along with recent political events, blockbuster movies and games, internet sensations and memes (2g1c, for example).

    Actually since this is America we are talking about:

    Nothing litigates more than a bad experience. Educates? Pfft, yeah right.
  3. Re:Why is this news? Because it's Microsoft. on MSN Music DRM Servers Going Dark In September · · Score: 4, Informative

    Can you possibly still not get it?

    Your Minivan will continue to "work" after Ford closes it's DRM Factories, however if you decide to move house you cannot take your Minivan with you.

    If you renovate your house, your Minivan will cease to work.

    You can never sell your Minivan.

    Serves you right for buying a DRM Minivan, I say.

  4. Re:If you care about vertical space then... on The End of Non-Widescreen Laptops? · · Score: 1

    Your post is informative, except that there is no Kanji used for "Bookmarks". Many of the menus use Katakana which probably takes as much or more space as the English equivalent.

    See a random Firefox.jp screenshot as an example.

  5. Re:russian on Russia To Require Registration For Wi-Fi Use · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That sounds much too logical for a bureaucrat to have come up with.

  6. Re:Bluetooth too? on Russia To Require Registration For Wi-Fi Use · · Score: 1

    Well then as well as registering their laptops and iphones they will also have to register their microwave ovens, security cameras, Bluetooth devices and (in some countries) Amateur radio, video senders, cordless phones and baby monitors. These devices all "use the frequency involved in Wi-Fi communications". (source: wifi pollution)

  7. Re:I'm so sorry for this on Russia To Require Registration For Wi-Fi Use · · Score: 4, Informative

    In case it isn't obvious (it wasn't immediately obvious to me), that TLD is the extension that was created for the Soviet Union. Apparently it is still in use today.

  8. Re:directions like 'nofollow' are still respected on Google Crawls The Deep Web · · Score: 1

    The search equivalent to IE.... so being the dominant player, using a feature-limited interface, and prone to leaking private information?

    I think Google is already there.

  9. Re:Forums, and "web 2.0" sites. on Google Crawls The Deep Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    Any forum that can't stop a "good" bot is going to have spam all over it anyway from the "bad" ones... C'mon there's no point in Google launching a war against phpBB, there are more than enough spambots doing that already.

    Methinks the developers where sniffing too much MIME

  12. Re:Bright Planet's DQM on Google Crawls The Deep Web · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One time when I was Deep Crawling a particular website I decided to take a peek at their robots.txt file. To my amazement they had listed all the folders that they didn't want anyone to find, yet had provided absolutely no security to prevent you accessing the content if you knew the location.

    It's cases like that where doing a half-arsed job is worse than not trying at all.

  13. Re:This is great news.... on Sun May Begin Close Sourcing MySQL Features · · Score: 1

    So far its not bad, but it would be nice if their mysql command line tool would do TAB completion as psql does. The MySQL command line tool does do tab completion for table and field names, however I recall that it does not work if you are using the Windows client. (but then again, even the Windows command line only features a very limited tab completion support).

    Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his Karma level?

  16. Re:Good idea? Spielberg??? on Dreamworks Acquires Rights for Ghost in the Shell · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you missed the ending you might have the misconception that it was a good film.

  17. Re:Plot Feel on Dreamworks Acquires Rights for Ghost in the Shell · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, there were two standalone movies:

    Ghost in the shell
    GITS2 Innocence

    And then following the GITS:SAC TV series' there are three more "movies" that are compilations of episodes with possibly some new scenes:

    GITS:SAC The Laughing Man
    GITS:SAC Solid State Society
    GITS:SAC 2nd GIG Individual Eleven

  18. Re:Plot Feel on Dreamworks Acquires Rights for Ghost in the Shell · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Though those scenes were completely removed from the US version of the manga. As usual US audiences are allowed as much torture, violence, and brutality as you can throw at them, but god forbid they see a nipple (link to SFW editing reports).

  19. Re:there's no way this is true on Schoolboy Corrects NASA's Math On Killer Asteroid · · Score: 5, Funny

    It appears we have a 200 billion tonne asteroid in a possible collision against a satellite weighing between 200KG and several tonnes

    I'd say it's more like the haystack hitting the needle.

  22. Re:Great Blazing Colors on What Font Color Is Best For Eyes? · · Score: 3, Funny

    this is an inherited survival trait from when it was important to see predators and distinguish ripe from almost-ripe. I know there is probably a very good reason for that, for example being able to distinguish a camouflaged predator in dense jungle.... but I just can't get the image of big green lizard predators out of my head.
  23. Re:Sound Cards on $90 Asus Sound Card Whips Creative's Best · · Score: 1

    Just look at how many people use iPods with stock standard "iPod earbuds". There's your answer in plain white and grey.

  24. Re:People still buy soundcards? on $90 Asus Sound Card Whips Creative's Best · · Score: 1

    NForce2 Soundstorm by any chance? I think NVidia integrated audio seriously went downhill after that, both in terms of driver support and hardware.

  25. Re:Why have analog sound devices in the computer? on $90 Asus Sound Card Whips Creative's Best · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Last time I checked, amplifiers didn't have 100 million transistors operating up to Gigahertz pumping out EMF.

    Anyway I agree with the GP (is the Parent a troll?).

    If you have a digital source you may as well keep the signal digital for as long as possible because as soon as you go through a DAC you will start introducing noice into the equation.

    Digital Receivers (amps) take a digital input such as PCM or AC3, decode, and pump the output to speakers. And they sound great.
