  1. Re:what's going on here? on Symantec Patents Virus Updates · · Score: 1

    sorry, but patch has been around long enough, and it's free software... thus this patent is void.

  2. Re:Credit Cards on Sony's OEL Thinner And Better Than Today's LCDs? · · Score: 1

    nope, the credit card will be your DNA... no more fakes...

  3. Re:462-mm2!! on Sony's Monster Graphics Chip · · Score: 1

    yep, that't about a square inch...

    libraries have been around since babylon... (remember the big fire about 4000 years ago ?)
    These people are starting to really piss me off...

    bzzzzt! Wrong!, thank you for playing all of you

    The real story is that Xerox threatened to sue them both, as they both had copied the concept from the Smalltalk 80 graphical interface.
    Personally, I think Parcplace system (now owners of the Smalltalk stuff, that Adele Goldberg took with her when she left the Parc) should sue Sun AND Microsoft for java and .net respectively...

  10. Re:So the choices are... on Sega Confirms Death of Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    maybe sega thinks marketing the thing the inkjet printer manufacturers do : give the console for cheap, and make the most profit on the games... (that is sell things for $99 and make a profit of about $50 a game.)

  11. Re:*Ahem!* on Sega Confirms Death of Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    That's also in the vaporous category (I don't call a 3D rendering an actual, working, product...)

    In the U.S., Studies are underway for a Transrapid system connecting Las Vegas with Southern California, with possible later north-south extensions throughout California.

  19. Re:What about.... on First Maglev To Be Built In China · · Score: 1

    nope, that's similar to France's TGV tech (and seems to have been copied from there). Besides, the fastest it can go is about 200Km/h (150mph)

    Remember, they have the most powerful river in the world, and are building a huge dam on it (not that the communist government would give a damn about environment anyway)

    I have no problems with my bank PSECU

    Mozilla decided to ditch compatibility and use a 'pure' w3c design, which *nobody* uses

    Then whoever does not use the specified standard should be smacked in the face

    I try to keep track of the mozilla nighltlies, and have never seen a single version that doesn't lock *hard* when asked to do SSL. Older ones used to be able to crash X, on occasion.

    The above web site works well (and most of the "access your account" stuff is under SSL

    For example, try http://www.co-operativebank.co.uk, click on the top left icon to start the java applet. This locks mozilla solid.
    www.barclaycard.co.uk, try to click on something. Nothing works - Javascript errors... the code looks fine to me.

    Then complain to them and you'll see that they will change it. Instead of moaning on /., make yourself heard by the corporate moron that programmed the said sites without testing them.
