  1. Just block third-party cookies on Adbusters Suggests Click Fraud As Protest · · Score: 1
    From Google's FAQ on the new system:

    The plugin is not available for my browser. How do I opt-out of the cookie?

    If you're using any other browser, you can look for a common feature, which accomplishes the same as setting the DoubleClick opt-out cookie: Find a setting in your browser's settings that allows you to only accept cookies from sites you visit, or only "first-party cookies". This option may also be described as "blocking third-party cookies."

  2. Let me fix that on State of Colorado Calls Firefox Insecure, IE6 Safe · · Score: 2, Interesting

    DO NOT use FIREFOX or other Browsers besides IE. It has been decided that Mozilla based, non-IE browsers do not properly work with our website, and we don't feel like modifying our code to support other browsers.

    Fixed!

    Absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

    No really. This is SCARY.

    Yes Virginia, there are bad people in this world.

    If you had to be an official 'something' or licensed...that would stop a lot of criminals I'd think?

    Maybe. But more than likely you'll be preventing a lot of people from putting food on the table every night...

  7. Re:Opera /feels/ faster on Too Good To Ignore — 6 Alternative Browsers · · Score: 1

    I agree with you there. On OSX it looks the same, but when I'm on FreeBSD the menus and the menu toolbar (File, Edit, Help, etc) have weird colors. It's worth it, though.

    Then again it looks like it's using QT 3.3 on my system, but the current version is 4.3. That could be the issue.

  8. Opera /feels/ faster on Too Good To Ignore — 6 Alternative Browsers · · Score: 1

    Honestly, while apparently Opera isn't the fastest renderer anymore, the UI /feels/ so much faster. Also, moving back and forth with the 'Back' and 'Forward' buttons are faster in Opera because it does not send out another HTTP request each time you click the button, while apparently other browsers do.

    First person to make a fuss about this gets a prize!

    If I had any mod points they'd be yours. I think you're right about this.

  11. Cut taxes, then on Obama Team Considers Cancellation of Ares, Orion · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Let's cut taxes and reduce spending elsewhere, too!

    Smaller government FTW.

  12. Not a hint of irony on PC Grand Theft Auto IV Features SecuROM DRM · · Score: 3, Funny

    There is no hint of irony here. None at ALL.

  13. Re:Ask yourself one thing. on Would You Add Easter Eggs To Software Produced At Work? · · Score: 5, Funny

    How are your going to be able to explain NOT fixing a bug that got through in your code when you had time to include an un-spec'ed Easter egg?

    Blame the intern.

  14. Of course! on Would You Add Easter Eggs To Software Produced At Work? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Of course! Doing so in an unobtrusive, unharmful way only adds charm to the product.

  15. Re:Breaking the law is always easy on Fedora 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Let your congressman know that, unless he at least attempts to undo those laws, you will stop voting for him.

    Am I wrong, or is the reason that they cannot ship certain software products because the EULA specifically states that you cannot redistribute without permission? If this is the case, then telling your congressman would be worthless, wouldn't it?

  16. Re:video mirror on Dropped Shuttle Toolbag Filmed From Earth · · Score: 1

    Thanks. Looking at that video I almost find it hard to believe that very bright object is the toolbag. Could it be something else? Unless she left a really bright flashlight on in the bag when she dropped it...

  20. Re:Riddle me this on 16 Interviews With Linux Kernel Hackers · · Score: 1

    5. Lack of decent file-browser. The best I've come across is Nautilus in a mode that resembles Windows Explorer. It'll do for now, but as far as I'm aware, offers no context-sensitive menus for applications (like the Winamp "Play in Winamp" right-click menu on folders.

    GUI file-browsers are for chumps. /Real/ *nix guys just use a terminal and a mixture of the sysutils.

    It's faster that way, really. If you don't believe me, try it for a while -- you'll see. A few weeks getting comfortable with doing everything in a terminal, and when you go back to a GUI you'll wonder what the heck you were ever thinking. :)

  22. Lower internet prices... on The Shady Business Practices of Classmates.com · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe Comcast will start charging less now for their internet if Classmates.com goes out of business, what with the huge decrease in used bandwidth thanks to the absence of these God-forsaken ads.

    Oh, nevermind, we're talking about Comcast here.

  24. Who cares? on Boot Windows Vista In Four Seconds · · Score: 1

    Who cares? Unless you need to reboot regularly, this isn't so attractive.

    Besides, suspend-to-disk works just as well if you don't need a clean boot.
