  1. first! on 1st Video of Moon's Far Side · · Score: 1

    Just because it's the first video of the "far side", does it have to be all grainy and short and low-res?

  2. Re:Oh joy! on Firefox 9 Released, JavaScript Performance Greatly Improved · · Score: 1

    Didn't they say FF9 will finally get rid of the addon compatibility check?

  3. I think I know why he did it: on Man Calls 911 To Fix Broken iPhone · · Score: 1
  4. Pinpoint on Mozilla MemShrink Set To Fix Firefox Memory · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is easily reproduced in FF4 when you load a page with lots of images. The mem tends to grow proportionally to the size of the images on the page. But this is the only scenariou where the mem usage is different from other browsers and needs looking into.

  5. Re:Nice stunt on Top French Chess Players Suspended For Cheating · · Score: 1

    Can you explain it? I'm afraid I'm not getting how exactly the positioning of the 3rd member could indicate what move to play.

  6. Gattaca realism on NASA Names Best & Worst Sci-Fi Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Gattaca - the most realistic sci-fi movie where a mission to Titan is a once-in-a-lifetime matter (so much so that the director of a space center murders his subordinate with a computer keyboard just to launch it). Yeah right.

  7. Great! on Swedish Pirate Party Launches ISP · · Score: 0, Troll

    Back in my day, we had a handful of FTPs in my city serving SOME illegal content to a select few users who were deemed trustworthy enough to be given access. And that was it. No torrents, no rapidshare, barely any p2p. Today, everybody just HAS to have all the illegal content, right now. And if they don't they will take it up with the parliament or the president or whoever. Fucking entitlement brats.

  8. Re:there is a thing called Vertragszwang on German Publishers Want Censorship Talks With Apple · · Score: 1

    You sir are making no sense. And I am european by the way.

  9. Re:there is a thing called Vertragszwang on German Publishers Want Censorship Talks With Apple · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I am currently sueing Mercedes because the car I bought from them won't work with unleaded fuel.

  10. Re:How it works in the smart land on Most Bank Websites Are Insecure · · Score: 1

    yeah because SMS is a secure communication medium... A lot better is the password keychain thingnies as a second phase authentication. Nothing is transmitted after you obtain the keychain. Still not completly foolproof, but way better than silly SMS mechanism

    OMG the hackerz now gonna intercept my SMSses, I better wrap my phone in tinfoil!!

  11. How it works in the smart land on Most Bank Websites Are Insecure · · Score: 1

    Umm, my bank here in Slovakia has a foolproof and unhackable login system. By default they challenge you with a grid card code you must enter after a successful login, but you can also set the system so you use a SMS verification code instead. It works like this : 1. You login successfully via username/password 2. You are prompted for the SMS code which is a 5 character code sent to your mobile phone 3. Code arrives via SMS and you enter it 4. We all profit!!! Study that!
