  1. Re:What's the issue? on 13 Years After DeCSS Case, Congressional IT Endorses VLC · · Score: 1

    No, it doesn't.

  2. WAIT ONE SECOND! on Former Sun Mobile JIT Engineers Take On Mobile JavaScript/HTML Performance · · Score: 1

    Apps seem to launch instantly since they have hardcoded splash images

    What? iOS-Apps are made to lie regarding their startup-performance? That's golden. 10/10.

  3. Re:Another new feature of Chrome 28 on Google Chrome 28 Is Out: Rich Notifications For Apps, Extensions · · Score: 2

    No idea if that is the reason for that error, but Google dropped support for RHEL6 with Chrome 28.

  4. Re:28? on Google Chrome 28 Is Out: Rich Notifications For Apps, Extensions · · Score: 1

    That's just not true.

  5. Re:And Now Firefox Has Fallen... on Firefox 23 Makes JavaScript Obligatory · · Score: 1

    Is there some reason it wasn't possible to create a button reading, "Restore Factory Settings," in large, friendly letters?

    Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Reset Firefox

  6. Re:Still on version 21 foreseeable future on Firefox 23 Makes JavaScript Obligatory · · Score: 1

    Firefox was broken before, 22 just fixed the bug.

    Note: The author of that article left Mozilla for Facebook three weeks ago.

  8. Re:why? on Firefox 23 Makes JavaScript Obligatory · · Score: 1

    Next time, you ough to read the links (especially the bugzilla-link) before writing wrong information.
    "Plugins can no longer be enabled/disabled using addons like QuickJava or FlashDisable"
    This only affects the Java-plugin, not the option of disabling or enabling JavaScript, which can be done in about:config, or addons which function as GUIs for it, by toggling javascript.enabled.

  9. Re:Follow the Money? on Android Malware "Obad" Called Most Sophisticated Yet · · Score: 1

    SMS confirmation was released with 4.2. Too bad next to no user will get that version.

  10. Re:Which version hooks into h.264? on Mozilla Plans Major Design Overhaul With Firefox 25 Release In October · · Score: 1

    Fx21 for Windows 7+, Fx 22 for Vista, Fx23 for hardware-acceleration via DXVA2. Support for Linux/OSX is still being worked on.

  11. Re:article title written by apparent moron ... on The Days of Cheap, Subsidized Phones May Be Numbered · · Score: 1

    Why is this scored as flamebait when it's obviously true?

  12. Re: Unit of measure confusion on Israeli Firm Makes Kilomile Claims For Electric Car Battery Tech · · Score: 1

    Still, using a SI-prefix with an imperial unit is just wrong.

  13. Re:Moral of the story on Poking Holes In Samsung's Android Security · · Score: 1

    Factory-unlocked don't get updates before the local carriers got theirs for the locked handsets.

  14. Re:interesting... on Samsung Won't Release Windows RT Tablet In US · · Score: 2

    "It is exactly the same as Windows 7 in same time after launch." This would be a valid comparison, if Windows 7 had been sold for 30 bucks in the first two months, too. But it wasn't. It was sold at full price, except for a very short (a couple of hours), very limited sale (couple thousand licenses) on Amazon, I think.

  15. Re:No 7-series support? on NVIDIA Releases Fix For Dangerous Display Driver Exploit · · Score: 1

    They've announced to stop support 6- and 7-series a few months back. You should be reading the release notes once in a while.

  16. Re:Don't care on Mozilla Brings Back Firefox 64-Bit For Windows Nightly Builds · · Score: 2

    So you switched to Chrome, which is constantly changing, because you hated that Firefox was constantly changing. Gotcha.

  17. Re:Oh Carmack... on Carmack: Next-Gen Console Games Will Still Aim For 30fps · · Score: 1

    *snore*

  18. Re:Makes me glad I use an iPhone... on Huge Security Hole In Recent Samsung Devices · · Score: 1

    Why are you excluding jailbreaks? Just because a bug is exploited for a good cause doesn't make it a good security-bug.

  19. Re:Stream still didn't work behind a firewall on Valve's 'Steam Box' Console Is Real, Says Gabe Newell · · Score: 1

    How is that Steam's/Valve's fault?

  21. Re:mixed feelings on Valve Begins Listing Linux Requirements For Certain Games On Steam · · Score: 1

    Game-devs and publishers aren't forced to use Steam's CEG. Many games are using it just like a repository, i.e. you can copy the game-folder out of the Steam-folder and uninstall Steam, and the game will still work.

  22. Re:Hungary on Australian Govt Pledges Action On Google Tax Evasion · · Score: 1

    The only thing Hungarians need is to get their asses kicked for turning fascist. "Internet Money" is way down the to-do-list.

  23. Re:Points on UW Imposes 20-Tweet Limit On Live Events · · Score: 1

    Would be a valid argument if the NFL and, especially, the NBA were flop-free.

  24. Re:This is ridiculous on Blizzard Sued Over Battle.net Authentication · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because running the authenticator on the same machine you're trying to authenticate from is best practice. Right?

    Oh no, stop it with your facts.
