    No add-on it's in the same place it's been for ages. Go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy Tab -> Under the Cookies part click the exceptions button.

    Show me the European who can list the capital of each state of the USA,

    Most Americans wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

  3. Re:People don't run OSes, they run applications on Living Free With Linux, Round 2 · · Score: 1

    You can't run CS3 or CS4 under that. Probably can't even use CS2.

    I was only responding to the specific apps listed by the GP which are all well supported by CrossOver. CS3 and CS4 don't yet have support but I've been able to do a lot of work with CS2 in CrossOver.

    You might be able to play really old stuff, but you won't be playing much that was made in the past 5 years.

    Actually a good number of the really popular games from the last few years have great support in CrossOver Games (WoW, Guild Wars, HL2, CS: Source, Team Fortress 2, etc). It's not gonna have support for every game out there, but it's growing and growing.

    What exactly is the problem?

    Probably the fact that there is a seeming lack of due process for the accused.

    There already is an easy to use UI for apt that's been around for years. It's called Synaptic.

    It will probably be the case this guy doesn't WANT to change from Photoshop to Gimp, from IE to FireFox, from AIM to Pidgin, to run Wine for WoW.

    No need to do so, just use CrossOver Linux and CrossOver Games.

  7. Re:Not *actual* fingerprints on Cheap Scanners Can "Fingerprint" Paper · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    No shit, sherlock, hence the use of scare quotes around fingerprint.

In this application the quotation marks are placed around a single word or phrase, and they indicate that the word or phrase does not signify its literal or conventional meaning but should be interpreted with one of the alternative meanings described below.

  8. Re:AAC Decoding on FFmpeg Finally Releases Long-Awaited Version 0.5 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually the news about it is that instead of using a GPL AAC decoder, they have their own LGPL decoder that is twice as fast as the old decoder. This LGPL AAC decoder is something that has only come about since maybe last year's Google Summer of Code.

  9. Re:Left wing credentials on UK Government Wants To Kill Net Neutrality In EU · · Score: 1

    Yeah cause it was a bunch of liberals in the US who started all the bank bailouts and everything. Wait... since when was Dubya, Bernanke and Paulson liberals?

    There has to be a report on the subject that includes some amount of class and professionalism -- especially if it's going to make it to the front page of Slashdot.

    This is a joke, right?

  11. Re:And In Other News... on Judge OKs Settlement In Yahoo Shareholder Suit · · Score: 5, Informative

    Still...either way...I'm getting very jumpy about judges messing with legal agreements.

    Why? They've been doing it for hundreds and hundreds of years in the common law tradition.

    Carl Icahn didn't want to discourage a takeover. That's the whole reason he's pissing in his diapers.

  13. Re:Greedy Developers. on Developers Looking to Set Up Alternatives To Apple's App Store · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to go through the apple approval process then just sell apps for people that have jailbroken phones.

    That's kind of what the whole article is about these people wanting to do...

  14. Re:No on Emulation Explosion On the PS3 Via Linux · · Score: 1

    I mean "financial analysts who do this for a living to try and offer valuable information to investors to determine the financial health of companies."

    Hopefully they weren't the same "experts" who were rating junk subprime mortages as AAA. We all know how well their ratings ended up being in the end.

    There is no article. This is just a post by Rob giving his opinion of the movie.

  17. Re:google running our government IT? on America's New CIO Loves Google · · Score: 1

    Reliability is not the problem. A private company handling documents is.

    I hate to break it to you but private companies already do handle secret government documents and have been for decades.

    The government sells personal information about workers (such as political activies) to companies so that they can illegally vet employees? Care to provide some citations?

    Yes, we should definitely not be punishing the people who were trying to illegally sell the data. That's preposterous!

    So no one buying a netbook is going to want to run x86 software? I call bullshit on that.

    Okay, but the point still stands that 64bit address space isn't needed on a phone at any point in the future. That is probably one of only a handful that even have 1 gig.

    No, you need something more graphics related like "Nvidia Culls Cheap, Integrated x86 Chip".
