  1. A better link. on Google Announces New Nexus Smartphone and Tablets · · Score: 5, Informative
  2. Start a software project at home. on How Do I Get Back a Passion For Programming? · · Score: 2

    Write some software for yourself in your spare time and perhaps learn a new language to do it in. Then give it away for free and receive adulation/ridicule.

    Calibre could do with a decent rival app if you're into ebooks..

  4. Re:already on pastebin on The Register Email Address Blunder · · Score: 2

    I found it on pastebin, it wasn't hard, just search in the last 24 hours. My email address wasn't there either despite getting the apology email.

    Win win.

  6. Re:Delay on "Apache Killer" Web Server Hole Plugged · · Score: 1

  7. Re:English... on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 1

    Well he was born with congenital absence of the fibula in both legs. His unamputated self wouldn't be much of a runner. So you'd have to compare his blades to what his legs would be like with different DNA. So you might was well compare them to legs in general, which is (probably) what they have done.

  8. Re:English... on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 1

    Idiot. He's a double amputee. Of course the blades augment him. The question is not whether they give him an advantage over his unbladed self, but over other runners with legs and no blades.

  11. Re:And no... on Confirmed: Microsoft Says It Will Open Source VB 6 · · Score: 1

    VB6 has an _option_ to compile to p-code interpreted executables, which is not switched on by default.

    You're right, my bad.

  12. Re:And no... on Confirmed: Microsoft Says It Will Open Source VB 6 · · Score: 1

    However, VB6 does do native code generation

    No it doesn't. VB6 compiles to byte code which is interpreted by msvbvm60.dll

  14. Re:These are people who still believe Joseph Smith on Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy · · Score: 2

    Actually it's a constitution-based federal republic. The CIA World Factbook says so.

    It's perfectly acceptable to use more than one word to describe something.

  15. trim/discard on SSDs Cause Crisis For Digital Forensics · · Score: 2

    At a guess this is caused by mounting with the discard option, or trim as its called in Windows. It tells the drive you don't need the data stored where a deleted file used to be.

    Maybe it's still there if you look with a microscope but who really does that?

    You're thinking of Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet

  17. OpenWRT on Cisco Linksys Routers Still Don't Support IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I have an old Linksys router and put OpenWRT on it. It supported ipv6 just fine with that firmware on it but ran out of disk space as soon as I tried to add qos support. I went back the the stupidly expensive Cisco branded router that's full of bugs..

  18. Re:Evil commenting on evil on Why Sony Cannot Stop PS3 Pirates · · Score: 1

    It shall be a sad day when I see console owners having to input serial numbers to play games.

    That day is already here. I had to type in a serial number when I installed Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit on PS3.

    Yeah? How well did that work last time?
