  1. Re:LulzSecuritys' website example? on JavaScript Decoder Plays MP3s Without Flash · · Score: 1

    JS != Java, so...

  2. Re:Err on JavaScript Decoder Plays MP3s Without Flash · · Score: 1

    It will run in Firefox, which doesn't do MP3 natively. The audio tag works arbitrarily with some formats (but most certainly with Ogg) because in the end they decided not to put in the spec what format is accepted.

  3. Re:audio on JavaScript Decoder Plays MP3s Without Flash · · Score: 1

    That's "How to play mp3s in Chrome and Safari using HTML5". I'm pretty sure this script was created so Firefox/Opera/whatever else that doesn't natively support MP3 isn't left out.

  4. Again? on JavaScript Gameboy Color Emulator · · Score: 1

    This is months old, and this was covered on Slashdot months ago already.

    Besides, there's a Canvas-based NES emulator in progress, too.

  5. Re:I'd miss the Firefox addons on Shuttleworth: Chrome Nearly Replaced FF In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    YouTube downloader is an uderscript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/62634
    Script blocking: supported internally under chrome://settings/content
    Downloading Flash files: press Ctrl+shift+i (or F12 on a beta), click on Resources, right-click on the SWF file you want to save. Maybe I should make a userscript that should make this easier, though.

    I have no idea what CW is so I guess you could miss that extension, but most of the other things should be possible in Chrome, as you can see. So it's mostly up to taste at that point.

    I say codecs, I mean plugins. My bad.

  7. Re:right then on Shuttleworth: Chrome Nearly Replaced FF In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I thought chromium == linux build of chrome? If not, excuse my ignorance!

    Nope. Chromium == open source version of Chrome; Chrome is a binary version of Chromium with proprietary bits attached (like internally provided Flash and PDF codecs). Both Chromium and Chrome are available on all three platforms.

  8. Re:NoScript? on Shuttleworth: Chrome Nearly Replaced FF In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Do people not know about the rather good built-in JS blocking mechanism? Enable it, and you can be asked what scripts should be run on a page through an icon in the address bar.

  9. Re:Notch...? on Notch Announces Minecraft 'Adventure Update' · · Score: 1

    I wanted to make a comment about your own nickname but you decided to be an AC.

  10. Re:Terraria on Notch Announces Minecraft 'Adventure Update' · · Score: 1

    The online multiplayer experience is too much fun for this to get boring fast. Group projects are especially fun and challenging. And people who liked Lego will probably not tire of this any time soon, because you're free to build whatever.

    I know about 5 people personally who own this game, and just one of them plays it very little on his own. I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or not, but it smells like success in making a good game if you ask me. I certainly haven't regretted buying this game.

  11. Re:NoScript? on Shuttleworth: Chrome Nearly Replaced FF In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    For over a year, I believe. And it exists in Chrome internally.

  12. Re:Google's not a charity, either. on Why Doesn't 'Google Kids' Exist? · · Score: 1

    Rated G and E for GooglE, am I right?

  13. Re:I am a Silverlight Developer on Silverlight Developers Rally Against Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    what we wanted to deliver was a very rich user experience over the web that was cross platform.

    So why'd you pick Silverlight of all things? While it may be "a great alternative to Flash", even Flash is more cross-platform than Silverlight.

  14. Re:France is just jealous... on France Bans Facebook and Twitter From Radio and TV · · Score: 1

    Influence on culture is not culture. It's influence.

  16. Re:Interesting move on Oracle To Give OpenOffice.org To Apache Incubator · · Score: 1

    A name like XXXFreePornOffice would promise XXX Free Porn, though, and if they renamed LibreOffice to that now it wouldn't be doing the job it's promising to do.

  17. Re:Choices are good, but... on Oracle To Give OpenOffice.org To Apache Incubator · · Score: 1

    Gnome, Iceweasel, any old KDE or Gnome app, Samba, Gambas, Geany, LibreOffice... The list goes on and on if you just look around a bit.

  19. Re:Alright... on Upscaling Retro 8-Bit Pixel Art To Vector Graphics · · Score: 1

    We need a realtime implementation in a SNES emulator that's actually properly cross-platform. But quality will definitely vary in something like SNES, it's better reserved for NES, C64, Master System etc. stuff at the moment.

  20. Re:Oh, great on Apple Acknowledges MacDefender · · Score: 1

    Why is only 2/3rd of that terminal commands? There's something called rm, you know...

  21. Re:Why NOT? on Mozilla Rejects WebP Image Format, Google Adds It · · Score: 1

    Since around 3.6, I think. More recent versions of Firefox have been getting noticeable lighter.

    And before you say anything about RAM usage, I haven't seen a single modern browser yet that has a light memory footprint. Even Opera is weighing in at around 350 MB on my computer right now.

  22. Re:Why NOT? on Mozilla Rejects WebP Image Format, Google Adds It · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that argument really flies... I mean, Firefox supports APNG when nobody actually uses APNG and the PNG group actually discourages use. Why would Mozilla bother maintaining it in the source tree, then? Because there's actually someone willing to maintain it? In that case, couldn't they do the same for WebP too (have someone who shows dedication to keeping it updated)? This format is useful in at least a few aspects.

    Unless WebP is technically flawed, like APNG apparently is... Then Google should obviously fix their spec first.

  23. Re:good thinking on their part on Confirmed: Microsoft Says It Will Open Source VB 6 · · Score: 1

    Except then MS denied they were going to do this. Sigh. And they had the chance to make themselves look a bit better with this (even if VB6 is... old).

  24. Re:Source would still available I assume? on Proposal For Gnome To Become Linux-Only · · Score: 1

    You can build it yourself... but you would probably have to remove/port any Linux-specific code. That's what they're talking about. So yes, you can build it yourself, but then you have to port the code yourself, first, and that's probably no small task.

  25. What does this mean for GTK? on Proposal For Gnome To Become Linux-Only · · Score: 1

    I have some GTK-based software that I use on both Linux and Windows. What would this switch, if made, mean for GTK?
