Very smart indeed

On: State of Colorado Calls Firefox Insecure, IE6 Safe

1. Make a web site.
2. Claim Firefox is insecure while IE is.
3. Get yourself noticed on Slashdot.
4 ...
5. Profit?

Re:Why SSH When Virtual Private Networking Works?

On: The Best Way Through the Great Firewall of China

Won't work if only port 80 or 443 are open. SSH can work with any Firewall, while VPN might break the connection.

Use the Restart Addon for Firefox.

Ctrl+Alt+R and you are back in business.

SSH server

On: The Best Way Through the Great Firewall of China

When I need to avoid a Firewall I use a SSH proxy server. How easy it is to use depends on every applications.

You can use any port you want, but the downside is you need to have a SSH server somewhere on the outside.

The future or routers.

On: Contest For a Better Open-WRT Wireless Router GUI

I'd like to see an open-wrt router firmware with.

8+ - eth ports for multi wan (load balancing and failover)
8+ - port USB so I can attach everything

Different size distribution so we can choose what to install and a nice auto-update to support all the devices.

Quite the contrary

On: Without Jobs, Will Open Source Suffer?

With all this recession talking everyone is thinking about saving money.

Going open source on ALL levels will greatly reduce the costs now and in the future. And I'm quite positive it will also improve the reliability.

Now everyone is scared enough to try something new to save money.

Re:crazy

On: The Hard Upgrade Path From XP To Vista To Win 7

Agree, but explain this to his Mom.

People needs to stop buy / upgrade for no reason and this apply to everything.

And they also should understand that you need to put some effort in understanding the product before buy it. But people likes new shiny stuff and don't want to think about problems.

I'm so happy enough people saw how pointless Vista is and maybe before switching to the new OS they will listen to knowledgeable people more.

I agree but, ....

This is the same as bitching to Matrix that is only a Ghost in the Shell rip-off and GiS is a rip-off of Blade runner.

Each new good movie, game, will add a new layer and reuse whatever worked in the past.

You can't expect from every new game to be a revolution.

You have to accept that a lot of new stuff is only a visual remake of whatever was here before.

On: Firefox Faster In Wine Than Native

My results.

Asus EEE 1000H
Windows XP / Firefox 3.0.6 : 57
Ubuntu 8.10 / Firefox 3.0.6 : 47
Ubuntu 8.10 / Wine / Firefox 3.0.6 : 57

Asus EEE pc

On: Firefox Faster In Wine Than Native

I have a dual boot XP / Ubuntu on my Asus EEE 1000H.

Firefox feels more responsive under XP then it is under Ubuntu.

I use the eee-pc kernel and I turn down all the visual extras both under Ubuntu and XP. Also Firefox runs with the same addons: Adblock, Flashblock and NoScript.

How long until the torrents will bring down the whole network and we will discuss again net-neutrality?

Re:Obviously....

Fully agree.

But ...

2000 lacks of built-in Firewall and the support for the latest games.

This is why we won't see dx10 on XP.

And this is how it works here:

Viruses : Still present
Reliability: Same
32bit performance: Slower then XP
64bit: Slower then XP
GPU: Faster

So why should I go for the new system when it's not clear if it will perform better then XP?

Win7: will get the same lame welcome unless it removes the useless shite called DRM.
