  1. Re:Good idea on Finland Will Introduce a Mobile 'Driver's License' App (yle.fi) · · Score: 1

    Just like regular cards can be? The police will query the government database for your information anyway, they don't just trust the card itself.

  2. Re:Yippie... on WebODF: JavaScript Open Document Format Editor Deemed Stable · · Score: 1

    Neither OpenOffice or LibreOffice are written in Java though, they are mostly C++. Java is only used for the HSQLDB and some wizards and parts in Base.

  3. Re:Why not the GPL? on Crytek Open-Sources Their 'Renderdoc' 3D Debugger · · Score: 1

    Why would this have been better released under the GPL?

  4. Re:Nokia? on Nokia Outsources Symbian OS Work · · Score: 1

    Great? Are you really calling Symbian OS great? For dumbphones perhaps, but... Or maybe you referred to Maemo. Wait, that wasn't so great either. Maybe if they had given it time to mature. Alas, towards yet another OS we go, let's hope this one goes a little better.

  5. Re:I used to love this game... on 20 Years of Commander Keen · · Score: 3, Informative

    Commander Keen pack on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/9180/

  6. Re:I know what will make it better on RuneScape Developer Victorious Over Patent Troll · · Score: 5, Funny

    Strange. I have all this money lying around on a dormant account in the Bank of Nigeria that I'd like to donate, but nobody wants to take me seriously!

  7. Re:Opera! on Firefox 3.6.4 Released With Out-of-Process Plugins · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would like to comment that it, in fact, doesn't. I've run Opera on OS X and Windows for a few years now and have seen no indication of that. In fact, I can see only one Opera process in Activity Monitor right now, with 15 threads - even if I open up a Youtube video. When Flash crashes, so does the whole browser (which used to happen all the time with the 10.5x betas). I've heard rumors on the My Opera forums that Opera on *nix might have this, but the OS X version certainly doesn't and I have no knowledge that the Windows version would either. Opera is a great browser, but this is something I've yet to see (and am eager to).

  8. Re:I need a new computer on AMD Undercuts Intel With Six-Core Phenom IIs · · Score: 1

    But... How can you surf the web with a car?

  9. Some things were better in Sovet Russia on Ubisoft DRM Problems Remain Unsolved · · Score: 1

    In corporate America, game plays you!

  10. Monitor count irrelevant on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 1, Funny

    Sure it can run games on six monitors at acceptable frame rates, but the question still stands... will it blend?

  11. Re:Canada eh! on Incandescent Bulbs Return To the Cutting Edge · · Score: 1

    True, but I don't know of a house that would have air conditioning here - at least not mine or my parents'. We don't really get that warm in the summer and opening the windows is usually all we need to keep the house cool.

  12. Re:Canada eh! on Incandescent Bulbs Return To the Cutting Edge · · Score: 1

    This is the reason why I have a hard time believing that CFLs would impact energy usage that much in the colder regions, e.g. here in Finland. What goes to "waste" in the form of heat should in turn make for a smaller heating bill - or am I missing something?

  13. Re:Innovation is lacking in the browser market... on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 2, Informative

    And so does Opera.

  14. Re:Wiki has a problem... on OpenOffice UI Design Proposals Published · · Score: 1

    The OpenOffice.org Wiki uses MySQL.

  15. Re:New defense tactic... on Court Sets Rules For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    The expert can run an md5 hash list containing the signatures of all the copyrighted music that the RIAA has collected over the years and compare the results against the contents of the hard drive. You can name a file anything you want and its content based md5 will stay the same.

    That's why you change the file in some way, for example write something random in an MP3 file's ID3 comment tag. The resulting md5 hash is now completely different and most likely is not included in their list.

  16. Brain == Google? on Supercomputer Simulates Human Visual System · · Score: 1

    Because our brain is massively parallel, with a relatively small amount of communication over long distances, and is made of unreliable, imprecise components...
    Wouldn't that be... Google?
