  1. Re:Group Chat? on Facebook To Launch In-Browser Video Chat With Skype · · Score: 1

    So Skype allows group of text-only for their free accounts.

    Text + voice, actually. Don't know about video.

  2. Re:Okay, so if Facebook's biggest competitor on Facebook To Launch In-Browser Video Chat With Skype · · Score: 1

    Then they would had released the thing finished, not in an early beta.

    People want what they can't have. :-)

  3. Re:The internet... on Vint Cerf Says Fix the Net With More Pipe · · Score: 1

    Yes. They want Brain Cheezburgers.

  4. Re:Awesome on Fired IT Worker Replaces CEO's Presentation With Porn · · Score: 1

    It's called "bending the rules". It's pretty fun to not do when you someone you don't like is demanding it.

  5. Unexploitable vuln? on SSL/TLS Vulnerability Widely Unpatched · · Score: 1

    In November 2009 a Man-In-the-Middle vulnerability for SSL/TLS/https was made public (CVE-2009-3555), and shortly afterwards demonstrated to be exploitable.

    Isn't a vulnerability, by definition, exploitable?

  6. Redundant links on History of Software Forks Favors LibreOffice · · Score: 1

    Why is that same article linked twice?

  7. Re:This also means on Average Gamer Is 37 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Or it just means that there are two gamer demographics: the college-and-below age, and the retired-and-bored age.

  8. Re:fake recipe is fake on MI6 Swaps Bomb Making Info With Cupcake Recipe On al-Qaeda Website · · Score: 1

    I think I remember hearing something about that, yes.

  9. Re:Waste of time and resources. on MI6 Swaps Bomb Making Info With Cupcake Recipe On al-Qaeda Website · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they made a more subtle alteration months ago. This defacement could scare them into spreading the (broken) bomb recipe as far and wide as possible.

  10. Re:I have but two questions: on StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Details Released · · Score: 1

    Meh. Something about the Updater broke when I upgraded to 1.3.20. I downgraded, deleted my .wine folder, and started anew. No dice.

  11. Re:I have but two questions: on StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Details Released · · Score: 1

    Wings of Liberty works fine in Wine. At least until last week or so.

  12. Re:makes sense on RMS Cancels Lectures In Israel · · Score: 1

    Antisemitism is, first and foremost, racism. Disagreeing with Isreal's politics isn't antisemitic.

  13. Re:Why? on Mozilla Rejects WebP Image Format, Google Adds It · · Score: 1

    Almost exactly the same as any other lossy-vs-lossless comparison.

  14. Re:Abandoned on Proposal For Gnome To Become Linux-Only · · Score: 1

    This is about the GNOME Toolkit (GTK) rather than the GNOME shell itself (which doesn't run on Windows AFAIK). The Windows port allows applications like GIMP to run on Windows.

    GIMP Toolkit, actually.

  15. Re:That the hell is GDM/lightDM... on Ubuntu 11.10 To Switch From GDM To LightDM · · Score: 1

    No, it's the place where you click your username out of a list (unless you run a little gconf-fu on the command line su'd as the gdm user). Does LightDM allow configuration or are users just stuck with the GUI user selection screen?

    That's entirely up to the theme you're using. The default KDM theme in Debian has it typed. I think Ubuntu's default GDM theme has you select from a list.

  16. Re:again? on Ask Slashdot: How To Monitor Your Own Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    Tomato.

    DD-WRT.

    Again? That answer is just as useless to me now as it always has been.

  17. Re:The reason for this on NSA Advises Upgrade To Windows 7 · · Score: 0

    I don't think "old stuff works" is going to be much of a selling point.

  18. Re:No you didn't on Ask Slashdot: Best Small-Footprint Modern Browser? · · Score: 1

    Ooops. 500 Mhz.

  19. Chromium on Ask Slashdot: Best Small-Footprint Modern Browser? · · Score: 1

    Back during the Firefox 4 betas I sometimes used a 300Mhz P3 laptop (380ish megabytes of RAM). Firefox pegged the processor just by being open, but Chromium didn't.

    Aye, probably KDE 2.

  23. Re:Linus Torvalds and regression? on Linux Kernel Suffering Power Management Regression? · · Score: 1

    Wayland is only in the repositories; it isn't part of the default install yet.

    They could at least bring us something we haven't seen before.

  25. Re:WebOS vs. ChromeOS on Google Adds Tablet UI Elements To Chrome OS Betas · · Score: 1

    Also, since this looks to be an otherwise quiet /. story, would this be an appropriate place to hash out the pronunciation of OS ("Oss" vs. "Oh-Ess"?)...

    "Oh-Ess". I use "Oss" for, well, OSS.
    EmEssDoss, but "Microsoft Office". Usually drop it altogether for "Windows $FOO"
    EssQueElle, but I've never used it.
