  1. Re:FREEOWW!!! on Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patch For File-Sharing Hole · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure - how specific is the description in Windows Update?

  2. Re:FREEOWW!!! on Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patch For File-Sharing Hole · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: I don't think that the tinfoil hatter is correct that this is in any way designed to combat piracy. Since you are posting on /., your technical knowledge is obviously higher than the average person's. Thus, whether or not SMB has anything to do with P2P to your knowledge is irrelevant. The important thing is if they are related in the mind of the average computer user, whose kid pirates the occasional album/movie.

  3. Re:so much for easy HD/Memory swaps on MacBook Updates Rumored To Include Glass Trackpad · · Score: 1

    The RAM/HD bay in my Macbook is behind the battery. I DNRTFA, but I don't see why having the body be a single piece of aluminum would prevent them from doing the same thing.

  4. What sort of optimization? on Next Generation SSDs Delayed Due To Vista · · Score: 5, Interesting

    TFA doesn't go into much detail - by "not optimized" do they mean that Vista pages frequently, and thus would wear out the SSD rapidly? Or is it possibly something to do with sustained read speeds?

  5. Re:That is nice.. on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 1

    These systems will work equally well with cars powered by non-petroleum sources, you know.

  6. Re:Why are they allowed to drive in the first plac on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, experience (and to a lesser extent, judgment) is hard to get without actually driving.

  7. Re:Alerts when speeding? on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the point. Few people (speaking from a US perspective here) believe in public transportation, thus it doesn't work well/doesn't go where people need it. Then people cite the poorly functioning systems as evidence that public transportation as a whole doesn't work well, and doesn't deserve tax money.

  8. Re:haha on Hack a Million Systems and Earn a Job · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously he hacked the news sites to change the number.

  9. Re:Show me a robot ... on Robots Aim To Top Humans At Air Hockey · · Score: 1

    If that's the definition we use, then does a rock want to fall when I drop it? In any case, there'll be interesting times ahead while society deals with this question...

  10. Re:Show me a robot ... on Robots Aim To Top Humans At Air Hockey · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Show me a robot that wants. Then I'll be impressed.
