  1. Re:Yawn on Researchers Discover That Sand Behaves Like Water · · Score: 1

    Congratulations, two whooshes!

  2. Re:24 hour charge?? on Green GT's All-Electric Supercar Unveiled · · Score: 1

    That's KERS... the Kinetic Energy Recovery System.

    KERS is optional, however. And I didn't count, but I think there's no majority of the cars running it. At least not the team which won 5 of the 6 races run this season so far.

    IIRC it'll be mandatory next year.

  3. Re:One of these things is not like the OOthers on An Early Look At What's Coming In PHP V6 · · Score: 0

    One of two ways to do it, yes. PHP is still very much of a procedural language, but PHP 5 is a step in the right direction.

  4. Re:no definite article needed on New Mega-Botnet Discovered · · Score: 1

    You know Ukraine was once part of Russia? That's where the article originally came from, I think.

  5. Re:Thinks like an os, eh? on IE8 May Be End of the Line For Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    Don't give them ideas...

  6. Re:Thinks like an os, eh? on IE8 May Be End of the Line For Internet Explorer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Blue Page of Death

  7. Re:Vortalgate? on Portugal's Vortalgate — No Microsoft, No Bidding · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes.

  8. Re:Why open is more secure than closed on How To Argue That Open Source Software Is Secure? · · Score: 1

    It's the same thing as the Oyster card in London. It's been broken a few times as well. So, nothing new there.

  9. Re:no DEB files? on 64-Bit Java For Linux · · Score: 1

    3. Link my_java_path/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so into your Firefox plugins directory (forget where it is)

    I followed the installation instructions but that didn't work. But symlinking libnpjp2.so did the trick. WTF?

    By the way, the plugins directory usually is ~/.mozilla/plugins.

  10. Re:Netherlands blacklists? News to me. on Clarifying the Next Step in Australia's Net-Censorship Scheme · · Score: 1

    Granted, not all Dutch ISPs are filtering. As far as I know, only KPN and UPC are. Here's a link to the investigation report of the WDOC, that's the most official thing I could find about Dutch internet filtering: http://www.wodc.nl/onderzoeksdatabase/internetfilters-tegen-kinderporno.aspx (links to PDFs on the right, two in Dutch, a summary in English)

  11. Re:10,000 URLs? on Clarifying the Next Step in Australia's Net-Censorship Scheme · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Didn't Finland move from step 1 to step 3 in just a month?

    The Netherlands has a blacklist as well, just as ineffective as the Finnish one. Just don't use your ISP's DNS. Governments should concentrate on taking down sites rather than act like the three wise monkeys.

  12. Tail graph on Suggestions For Cheap Metrics Eye Candy Software? · · Score: 1

    I stumbled onto a graph application once, which used tail -f on Apache access logs so you could see the activity in real time. I forgot what it was called.

  13. Re:Just tested it on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Tried it on my Debian testing (amd64) as well. Works perfectly with nfl.com and YouTube so far. BTW, no plugin regfile needed. I just removed swfdec and put the libflashplayer.so in my ~/.mozilla/plugins and restarted Iceweasel.

  14. Re:imaginary pixels..not the beating and menacing? on Dutch Court Punishes Theft of Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    Both articles state that the judge ruled the virtual goods had value. So they got punished for stealing virtual goods as well.

  15. Re:get_magic_quotes_gpc on Changes In Store For PHP V6 · · Score: 1

    Removing the get_magic_quotes_gpc function altogether seems like the dumb way to handle backwards compatibility, breaking scripts for no good reason. Why not keep the function and just always have it return false? Because there should be a limit on what can be backwards compatible? magic_quotes_gpc is available in two major versions already, and PHP 6 won't be officially released anytime soon (as far as I know -- plus, upgrading to PHP 5 is going slowly.) Besides, PHP programming should be as independent as possible to PHP settings.
