    Internet friends aren't real friends, duh!

  2. On hackaday today! on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://hackaday.com/2010/07/07/heel-treads-make-shoes-go/ Similar concept, personally I'd rather have the moving sidewalks because there is less user input and therefore less possibility for things to go wrong (crashing into each other).

  3. Re:Wikileaks.... on With World Watching, Wikileaks Falls Into Disrepair · · Score: 2, Informative

    Torrents die, something like that very quickly too, due to it's taboo nature. And they're not going to starve themselves so they can pay for the site, that'd be stupid.

    Right, not a perfect example, and I agree with you, but you understand the analogy?

    Yes, the webmasters should have to pay for the site out of their own pocket. Seriously? It's like PBS. Everyone loves them until they start asking for money so they can actually RUN.

  6. Re:So? on Why Google's Wi-Fi Payload Collection Was Inadvertent · · Score: 1

    They weren't connecting to the networks, just collecting packets that were being broadcast to help triangulate the source of the network. RTFA.

  7. Re:Econuts will be torn over this one on Quantum Dots Could Double Solar Energy Efficiency · · Score: 1

    But higher efficiency panels will lead to less square footage needed, overall lowering the total cost of an installation. I agree with you that cost is the main issue, but there is more than one way to lower cost.

    The apostrophe? That's the only thing I see that might be misunderstood to be improper.

    I'll admit, that one is way better.

  13. Re:Bad moderation on Firefox Is Lagging Behind, Its Co-Founder Says · · Score: 1

    The problem was an old laptop, yes, I went off on a tangent and suggested a feature that would help a potentially related problem (old laptop + relative's house potentially means crappy internet connection). Opera's UI is not anywhere near completely redone, but it's better and cleaner than it was, that's for sure.

  14. Re:Certainly not light on Firefox Is Lagging Behind, Its Co-Founder Says · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I hate FF's GUI, it's bloated and ugly, in my opinion. Opera is nice and light looking, taking up just as much space as it needs.

  15. Re:Certainly not light on Firefox Is Lagging Behind, Its Co-Founder Says · · Score: 3, Informative

    You may not like Opera's default interface, but it's cleaned up in 10.52 and no matter what version it's incredibly customizable. As for an old computer, if internet speed is an issue Opera has a function called 'Turbo', it sends all your requests to Opera's servers and has the pages compressed, speeds up load times immensely.

  16. Certainly not light on Firefox Is Lagging Behind, Its Co-Founder Says · · Score: 4, Informative

    In order of resource usage, from a consumer's standpoint I'd rank them: Chrome Opera FireFox Internet Explorer This is not based on any tests but simply my experience using them all. Personally, Chrome is good but Opera has more features I use and is more customizable, so Opera wins out overall - and now Opera is nearly as good as Chrome in benchmarks.

  17. Re:Value for money vs FanboiGasms on AMD Undercuts Intel With Six-Core Phenom IIs · · Score: 1

    What games are you playing that don't properly clock control? I've never had that hapen, and have been building with AMD since socket 754 was new, and playing games about that long as well. I call BS.

  18. Re:Apple behind this? on Group Calls For Google Antitrust Probe · · Score: 1

    Wait, so because a software company makes stuff that works together they need to be broken up? That makes no sense at all.

    As mentioned elsewhere, male breasts are generally not considered a private part, regardless of who they are attractive for.

  20. Re:OpenDNS on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1

    I'm not familiar with what regular users can do, I assumed that non admins couldn't change network settings, I may be wrong.

  21. OpenDNS on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1

    OpenDNS will work well for filtering sites, just set the DNS server on the computers you wish to filter to the OpenDNS servers and set up an account to filter stuff.

  22. It's ok people on The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 Passes Senate Panel · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's not as bad as the Patriot act, so therefore it's ok for this to pass. At least they're not as bad as the last administration, right?

  23. Misreading on Microsoft To Distribute Third-Party Patches · · Score: 4, Funny

    For a minute I read the headline as "Microsoft to Distribute Eye Patches". With the rate of piracy Microsoft has goin on, I wouldn't be surprised.
