  1. Re:Ridiculous on Japanese Supreme Court Rules TV Forwarding Illegal · · Score: 1

    Same in Germany, AFAIK.

  2. Re:All you need to know, from TFA on Italian Scientists Demonstrate Cold Fusion? · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Dear Mods, Taco, anybody on The Matrix Re-Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Why? Sounds like a great plot to me. I'd be willing to pay money to see it fully executed. Bonus points if they add equilibrium (the movie) and cheech and chong and the diskworld in the mix. And yes, I haven't been taking my meds ;).

  4. Re:Tin foil hats on The Strange Disappearance of Dancho Danchev · · Score: 1

    What are your other impressions of my homeland? I've always been curious.

  5. Re:Nah on Should Employees Buy Their Own Computers? · · Score: 1

    Netboot a thin client to a VM farm terminal sever. Done.

    Resource planner suckage, IOW - blame the beancounters...

  7. Re:This is... on Research Suggests E-Readers Are "Too Easy" To Read · · Score: 1

    For the love of god, never link to that site, again... I thought tvtropes was bad...

  8. Re:So let's see: on VP8 Decoder Implemented In Flash Using Alchemy · · Score: 1

    To put it shortly - Ogg sucks, and Matroska rules. Compare the two formats and you will see why. Matroska allows encoding almost any data and synchronizing it in the stream completely forward and backwards compatibly, with no need to develop bit-field mappings, unlike Ogg.

  9. Re:Open Platform? on Is Samsung Blocking Updates To Froyo? · · Score: 1

    It's easy to root, AFAIK.

  10. Re:Open Platform? on Is Samsung Blocking Updates To Froyo? · · Score: 1

    What issues does the previous parent post not handle? (Sorry for the grammar)

  11. Re:What is the Immunet product and why should we r on ClamAV For Windows Open Beta Begins · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the perfect datamining operation... I wonder if they are gonna go Google and make it a free service, and sell analytics data. That would be a great business model, if they have a decent privacy policy. Hell, I think you could try the same trick and OEM Ubuntu machines, and have click-through EULA during the configuration phase (not too convulted, we want to be fair now - the lusers won't even glance at it anyway). Send tracking data for a limited period (and make tracking removal reasonably easy enough - those who bother to remove it are not gonna rack up too many support calls anyway), in return, you get to license legitimate codecs, and free support.

  12. Re:Lol on Advice On Teaching Linux To CS Freshmen? · · Score: 1

    An object wrapping utility (call it obj) that takes the relevant command as an argument, checks options, and parses the output as a standard YAML encoded document would achieve that. So, when you want to create an object from the output of a command (assuming obj has appropriate descriptors), you just
    $my_object = obj command -a -b -c -d=5 --foo=enable.
    Want to get a member - enter the get utility
    get $my_object member_val.
    Sound reasonable?

  13. Re:Did a double take when I read the headline... on Remote Control Worms With Laser Light, Using FOSS · · Score: 1

    How did it go?

  14. Re:Reminds me... on Man Mines Facebook For Security Questions, Nabs Nude Photos From Email · · Score: 1

    Wait? You've forgotten your own years of maturation, apparently - seen as they are a lot fresher for me let me remind you. Testosterone isn't about patience, neither is oxytocin. I don't know about your musical tastes, but I believe Kid Rocks song "When You Love Someone" got it right. Denying voluntary sex, especially when the consent is two-way, is simply traumatic for ones psyche.

  15. Re:That would be awesome on Extinct Mammoth, Coming To a Zoo Near You · · Score: 1

    Bulgarian crows as well.

  16. Re:what? on Comics Code Dead · · Score: 1

    In communist republics, with conformism at high value, the same behavior was "rewarded" the same way. It's sick.

  17. Re:True in theory on Comics Code Dead · · Score: 1

    IOW, we ain't fine.

    Nice idea - though I've had problems with javascript links - any ideas?

  19. Re:Pshaw on Google Fires Back About Search Engine Spam · · Score: 1

    Something similar to refcontrol but for query string/POST parameters would be nice.

  20. Re:Sort of right, but between Open and Closed on FSF Announces Support For WebM · · Score: 1

    Except Playboy magazine.

  21. Re:Key word "will" on FSF Announces Support For WebM · · Score: 1

    Are you handy with DSP programming - h.264 and VP8 are very similar.

  22. Re:VFS eh? on Xfce 4.8 Released · · Score: 1

    Some sort of sick idea of portability, I believe - though if someone is arsed to port the platform libraries to use FUSE, I don't think they would refuse to use it.

    Displayport multiplexer, with a few extra wires to carry power back to the device.

  25. Re:No. Way. on How Europe Will Lower Emissions — Self Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Small scale implementations from TFA would do the trick.
