    Google Wave releasing on time.

    Sorry, I have an addiction.

  2. Not their fault on LimeWire Sued Again, Publishers Seek $150,000 Per Song · · Score: 1

    They didn't know that their service was going to be used to reproduce non-free content! It can't be stopped! It's the user's fault, and since they can't be tracked, there's no point suing anyone. It's like suing the MP3 format, TCP, HTTP or Google. It just ain't gonna happen.

  3. Unique on Ozzy Osbourne To Be Genetically Decoded · · Score: 1

    But but but, if they do that, He will no longer be unique! I'd be ashamed if there were people editing their DNA to be like Ozzy. unless they were his band of midget Ozzy minions. Mwah hah haaaaaah!

    That's why you should never add or accept your boss as a "friend"! Simple!

    I assumed the filters would get me. I didn't check. And of course, courtesy! I don't stoop to their level! Heh.

  9. Latitude on Location Services Raise Privacy Concerns · · Score: 3, Informative

    Latitude (sort of) solves this problem by only sending location data to approved friends and only when you want it to. Now all you have to worry about is untrustworthy friends.

  10. I almost got scammed once on 420,000 Scam E-mails Sent Every Hour In UK Alone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I posted an advert on Craigslist, then someone replied stating that they'd give me £410 for a £230 object if I were to send it to Africa. They faked an email from paypal, saying they'd payed, hoping I'd send it away. But fortunately I'm not stupid enough to think that emails are always real. I went to Paypal by typing the domain in, and sure enough, it was blank, and it was a fake. I emailed the person back disappointed that they'd try to scam me. The person's email (for all to block) was sndrcollins9 at gmail dott com .

    Stop phishing scams! Don't be gullible.

  15. Re:Doesn't work anyway on Adobe (Temporarily?) Kills 64-Bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Disappointed. Very disappointed. Have you tried running 32bit FF with that?

    Alternatively.... Gnash and SWFDec work on Youtube at least, but you can always use HTML5 mode for that.

    Tried out Chrome with that?

    Do you want fries with that?

  18. Doesn't work anyway on Adobe (Temporarily?) Kills 64-Bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Half the time Flash is buggy, especially on 64-bit. They should fix it before releasing at all. It's a good thing that this is not available because it'll encourage people to use proper, open formats, and not closed, proprietary, barely-known-about-by-half-the-population formats, without having to subject these poor desktop users with something that doesn't have proper mic and webcam support half the time. What would we use Flash for anyway now? Not videos, that's for sure. WebM's going all the way up. This is the reason BIbud and Apple too don't use Flash, because there are much better options available, for nothing, and properly free. WebM is supported in nightly builds of most popular browsers and supported on YouTube as well. Watch out for WebM support in Bibud!

    I was going for the "we're both billionaires so it doesn't matter" approach actually. But that's a fair point, well made.
