  1. Re:Safari Extension Please on Chrome Extension Adds Facebook, Twitter To Google+ · · Score: 1

    In this context, what's wrong with Safari is that it doesn't have this extension.

  2. Re:How long till Facebook break it? on Chrome Extension Adds Facebook, Twitter To Google+ · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure that Facebook can disallow/block/ban access to individual apps. They'd have to if they were to have any sort of protection against abusive apps, of which there have been plenty.

  3. Re:XBox or PS3? on Qt For the Console · · Score: 1

    The console, ie. the terminal. You know, a text console that Linux provides by default if you don't install any form of X server.

  4. Re:But wait, what is this OS i'm using now? on Linux 3.0 Release Delayed · · Score: 1

    If you were a geek you would have realized rc means release candidate... Hence not an actual release yet, just a version proposed as the next release (which it isn't because of this bug they found).

  5. Re:Google+ is still in testing too on Linux 3.0 Release Delayed · · Score: 1

    Then turn off e-mail notifications! It's in the G+ settings. I'll have to agree that it's annoying that it's on by default.

    Chicken! Cheeep cheep cheep cheep!

  7. Re:URL shorteners, a solution looking for a proble on Google Acquires G.co Domain · · Score: 1

    The solution to long, hard-to-read URLs is not short, hard-to-read URLs.

    You did pick that up, right? So why are you posting a long, hard to read URL if that doesn't have anything to do with the solution?

    That wouldn't be RFC compliant...

  9. Re:Help with NoScript updates on NoScript Awarded $10,000 · · Score: 1

    Remove the version you have installed, restart Firefox, go to the Firefox addons page for the non-RC NoScript addon.

    Even then, you'd damn well make sure the website works even if someone turned off scripts.

    JS is extremely helpful to enhance modern websites. It should not keep you from seeing all information a web page provides, however, which is something that just happens all too often. This is Design 101.

  13. Re:Should have been a default in browsers from day on NoScript Awarded $10,000 · · Score: 1

    Chrome has the default ability to turn off all scripts, and then selectively reallow scripts for specific websites. That sounds very much like NoScript's main functionality, if you ask me.

  14. Re:Aye, pirates be the reason IE6 just won’t on IE6 Still Going Strong In China · · Score: 1

    If you're going to use "are", make sure your subject is plural. The Microsofts are, but Microsoft is.

  15. Re:How free is free? on Test Driving GNU Hurd, With Benchmarks Against Linux · · Score: 1

    I wish it worked like that...

    Well, Ballmer has been Flinging Windows since 1.0...

    Okay, that was a bad joke. I apologize. Even if Windows 1.0 was poo.

  17. Re:changes != LoC on Microsoft Developer Made the Most Changes To Linux 3.0 Code · · Score: 1

    Only if you're really measuring "work done". If each commit is a possible bug fix or improvement, and said bug fix or improvement required very few extra or changed lines, the net result is still that one bug is down or one improvement has been made.

    For example, on the Wine changelog I can always find out rather well how many implementations, fixes or improvements have been made on a specific part of the software, even if my technical knowledge of these parts themselves doesn't go too far.

    Bad? Good?

    Microsoft company.
    Google company.

    It's not exactly an easy comparison to make. Apples with fruit salad.

  19. Re:64-bit is a misfeature on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, while I really like Chrome, I've had the opposite experience. On my computer, Firefox is the fastest of the two. Opera is even faster, but it has some weird bugs with website interaction so I don't bother with it.

  20. Re:Only French and German? on Belgian Newspapers Delisted On Google · · Score: 1

    This is what I was thinking! Why the French and German articles, but not the Dutch ones?

  21. Re:Linux itself isn't relevant anymore on Lennart Poettering: BSD Isn't Relevant Anymore · · Score: 1

    I know this is a troll post, but when you say "people with narrower than normal needs who don't mind reinstalling everything every couple of years" sounds much more like you're talking about Windows...

  22. Re:Same ol' adage on Open Radeon 3D Driver Runs At 60~70% of Proprietary Driver Speed · · Score: 1

    Which means what he said doesn't make sense. If it did, then the free drivers would have been at 0% of the speed.

  23. Re:Why change? on Open Radeon 3D Driver Runs At 60~70% of Proprietary Driver Speed · · Score: 1

    Less bugs? Though it gets attention from AMD, the proprietary is known to have a lot of random bugs, some of them even making Gnome 3 pretty much unusable. I've had more positive experiences with the open driver so far, aside from the fact that it won't run some 3D stuff.

    The performance feels closer to 30% for me, though. Perhaps the Radeon HD 4330 uses a different driver or just has less implemented for it, still.

  24. Re:one word. on Adobe Released 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Maybe if it becomes faster than Flash, which it is far from. Unusable on my notebook, even moreso than Adobe's thing.

    In G+, as far as I can see, you can hide about the same amount of information from anyone, and you can opt-out of search indexing. Also, the marketing thing holds true with any successful social networking site.
