  1. Finally on Clove 2 Bluetooth Dataglove For One-Handed Typing · · Score: 1

    Finally we can IRC while coding! (by using 2 of these gloves)

  2. Re:Gayaplex? on Mandriva Joins the Netbook Market With the GDium · · Score: 1

    I will look that up, just pass me your GayDium.

  3. OTOH on Mandriva Joins the Netbook Market With the GDium · · Score: 2, Informative

    On the other hand, you can't have a x86 distro on the flash key you use with your GDium, pull it out and plug it to your x86 desktop machine, and boot it. Deal breaker for me!

  4. short version on The Inside Story On the San Francisco Network Hijacking · · Score: 5, Funny

    short version: if you bad to computers, we bad to you!

  5. if you think about it... on GDocs vs. ThinkFree vs. Zoho vs. MS Office · · Score: 1

    1. keeping data on a hosting services provider - is a small company *really* more trusthworthy than Google, who actually has to care for their name? Can they get bribed, subpoeaned, bought-out more easy than Google?
    2. keeping data at home - is your home *really* better protected than Google's datacenters? From lightnings, tornadoes, floods, fires, thieves?

  6. blimp / stratellite? on Satellite Internet Providers · · Score: 1

    Use blimp(s) with wireless repaters. Also called Stratellite (tm).

    Off course, you'd probably be the first one to really do it, but then, someone has to start!

  7. Re:Oh noes on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    I did mean my comment as a joke though. Btw. grammar nazis (almost wrote 'nazi grammars':) are appreciated by non-native english users (like myself), who are naturally good in writing in their native language (like myself), but lazy* to properly learn the other language.
    *Actually not lazy, but one cannot properly learn a language without using it, preferably in one of their own domains.

  8. Re:Why stop at the moon? on Send the ISS To the Moon · · Score: 1

    We've already been to the moon.

    Careful... There might be a few around here that disagree with that :)

    And yet others suggest there is an alien base on the other side of the moon, and we don't like to go there.
    While I belong to neither camp, I still haven't really digested this video, where many credible and sane looking people debate that and similar topics.
    Here's a shorter one, specifically on the moon.
    I know it can all be crap, but what if it isn't!

  9. Re:document.referrer on Thwarting New JavaScript Malware Obfuscation · · Score: 1

    If you allow no referrer for a web page, you will usually get no traffic from outside, like from search engines and other pages that might link to you.
    If you allow any referrer for an image, you are allowing anybody to embed this image into their page, thus stealing your bandwidth. To prevent that, you only allow your own pages to refer to your own images. Of course this can be spoofed manually by the client, but too complicated for most people.
    A funny thing is that the "HTTP_REFERER" header name is wrongly spelt, and it made it so to the the HTTP RFC.

  10. Re:document.referrer on Thwarting New JavaScript Malware Obfuscation · · Score: 2, Informative

    Many sites won't work without it, mainly to prevent "hotlinking".

  11. stop on Thwarting New JavaScript Malware Obfuscation · · Score: 5, Funny

    stop all that with an 8-line patch to SpiderMonkey

    Cool, and now malware engineers will lose their jobs, you insensitive clods! Internet Explorer to the rescue!

  13. Re:take control of the compiler? on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    I keep my porn in /usr/lib/perl, knowing that javac will never go there.

  14. Ubuntustorm? on Shuttleworth Sees Possibility For a QT-based GNOME · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know, where can I find the Ubuntustorm website they are talking about?

  15. Re:Oh noes on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    While I can imagine a can full of JavaScript, what I don't understand is, what use would have a Java compiler inside such a can.

  16. take control of the compiler? on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    ... how Java compilers work, allowing an attacker to take control of the compiler ...

    Now I know why javac stole my vacation pictures. It was driven by an attacker!

  17. Article! on 20 Features Windows 7 Should Include · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Windows 7 should have a feature that takes a web article which was split by the author to 5 separate HTML pages for advertising purposes, and joins it back to a single HTML page, while as a form of punishment of the author/publisher, cutting out any adverts in the process.

    As for the topic, Windows should just cease to exist, or at least have the mafia OEM agreements broken (that force it down customer's throat via new Laptops/PCs). Operating System, being one of our backbones, doesn't have to be free, but it must be transparent, as in open source.

  18. Re:Fixed Link on The State of R&D At HP, IBM, and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I know, just tried to be funny (didn't know about the Memristor either).
    And yeah, google could use some Levenstein to prevent misses like that.

  19. Re:2008: Year of Linux on the Desktop on Mandriva Linux 2009 Alpha 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Not only an inaccuracy because of Linux being the best server OS, but also because Linux desktop users tend to visit different websites than the average Windows user, IMHO..
    If say, those 20 websites were developer portals, I think Linux would be around 45% (wild guess).

    I would recommend to be more skeptic of the guys that SEO themselves to the first position of Google results.

    Congratulations, you just invented the memreistor!
    What is it and what it does is up to you, but you only have 6 months to finish it, and it has to profoundly change computing!
    See you in the Slashdot discussion of the announcement of the memreistor!
