  1. Actually... on China Hits Back At Google · · Score: 1

    Google philosophy is just not compatible with chineese, whatever it is, so they finally don't like themselves. Then, Who Cares? I see that google probably doesn't really like this, as they are losing ~15% of potential GMinion population; but this is the only disadvantaged side I can imagine.

    (btw., news from friends from china - google services are usually easily available via commonly known proxies...so it's probably not that hard at all)

  2. so long... on Toshiba Ends Incandescent Bulb Production After 120 Years · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ....and thanks for all the friendly warm light.

  3. to get it balanced... on Facebook Attracting More Visitors Than Google.com · · Score: 1

    What would the internet without Facebook look like?
    No change, only the happy family party hooker photos would go to Flickr or similar.

    What would the internet without Google look like? ...so?

  4. Re:Gary Larson inquires: on New Type of Dinosaur Unearthed · · Score: 1

    To me it seems like they found only the head with rest of the body bitten off. ...so probably had no thagomizer.

  5. 802.11 on Suggestions For a Coax-To-Ethernet Solution? · · Score: 1

    Just stick the coaxes into antenna plugs on wireless routers, and simulate point-to-point wireless. Possibilities are:

    - 2 average home routers for 2x$20 with 802.11b/g over coax, can-do 25Mbit real. Not sure how 5Ghz 802.11a would do, I would guess 30-40Mbit.
    - 2 better routers (mikrotiks) for around 2x$45 each - specifically mikrotiks can do several nstreme interfaces easily with 150Mbit on one cable (tried that)
    - 802.11n - not sure how efficient this would be, imho can do 70Mbit real. cost is for 2x$30 approx.

  6. I wonder... on Mozilla Debates Whether To Trust Chinese CA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously, shouldn't all users manage their certificate trust themselves?

    If they aren't capable to do so, are they capable to actually _have_ their things secure?

  7. duality on Can Curiosity Be Programmed? · · Score: 1

    If computer perceives things as "exciting" and is curious about them, it will necessarily perceive other things that are "boring" and will have no interest in them, probably refusing to do them as non-necessary, and generally moaning.

    Also, guess what category is "running your Windows".

  8. srsly guys on Chinese Human Rights Orgs Hit By DDoS · · Score: 1

    Why don't we just disconnect China?

    I mean it.

  9. come on, on Why Firefox's Future Lies In Google's Hands · · Score: 1

    $66 million isn't THAT much. Nothing a good fundraiser couldn't do.

  10. insight... on Which Math For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Which course should you take?

    All of them.

    Graph theory is highly practical (it has a perfect model relation to the actual data structures/algorithms/problems)

    Algebra is usually needed for graphic-related tasks and similar heavyload computation (encryption too).

    And analysis is finally needed for actual inventing and proving stuff.

    Have fun :)

  11. a word about pascal... on How To Teach a 12-Year-Old To Program? · · Score: 1

    One of the above post clearly says it: all you want to do in 12 is to see a nice 2D animated stuff.

    As I've found, we don't have many "real" languages that make the simply-looking black drawboard easily accessible. In my 12, it was Borland Pascal with ega/vga BGI driver. I wrote stuff, pressed F9, wow it worked.

    Today I'm seeing only various (unusuable) python libraries and several bad Logo implementations. C libs don't count, because kids can't compile them correctly (the magic F9 keypress ruled.)

    So there I'm asking: is there some "use graph;" substitute for today Pascals (most suitably for FPC compiler, and probably running on redmondOS too?) or at least some nice IDE with run-the-magic button? I don't even care whether it's pascal or not, that one has just proven itself.

    Sadly, I didn't found any.

  12. well... on Auto-Detecting Malware? It's Possible · · Score: 2, Funny

    " And the moment malware gives up what allows us to detect it, it also stops being a threat."

    Sounds like we will get a computer filled with malware that is configured to wait until exact date/second and kill everything.

  13. Re:*An* organization? on Up To 9% of a Company's Machines Are Bot-Infected · · Score: 1

    That was meant to be 'anal'. I'm sure that everyone saw the mistake right away and no confusion occured.

  14. Re:Oops! on The Homemade Hard Disk Destroyer · · Score: 1

    Is http://www.bustadrive.com/ their website?

    If so, someone should get hydraulically punched for creating webpages in MS Word.

  15. Guys? on Local Privilege Escalation On All Linux Kernels · · Score: 4, Interesting

    where's the source?! I want to try it. On my box.

  16. Can I ask.. on In UK, Two Convicted of Refusing To Decrypt Data · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...if you lost or just really forgot the decryption key/passphrase, would it count as refusing?

  17. Re:Centers of Crap on After Links To Cybercrime, Latvian ISP Cut Off · · Score: 1

    To be honest, the term 'center of crap' totally got me. Pity there's no online location overview/trends/statistics site yet. Senderbase and alikes don't count, because there's no map with a big red cross captioned "CRAP IS HERE".

  18. I didn't get it. on AT&T Blocks Part of 4chan · · Score: 1

    From the myriad of *chans they block the least offensive one. Looks like some CEO just saw his first goatse and raged.

  19. So... on AMD Demos DirectX 11-Capable ATI Graphics Card · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...so they are shipping real drivers with ATI cards? Great!

    (In fact, I hope that they finally do something about this. I was forced to avoid any ATI hardware for over 5 years now, just because of driver incompatibilities. It's just sad.)

  20. obviosity on Torvalds Rejects One-Size-Fits-All Linux · · Score: 1

    Linus said exactly what was needed to say. Seems like the blogosphere (or how you call that herd of wannabe journalists) only didn't notice that there's no need to care about market share.
