  1. Re:Good thing it is open on Google Fights Back Against Android Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    Exactly what Mozilla did to Debian actually.

  2. Re:Jesus Flipping Christ... on Firefox 4, A Day Later · · Score: 1

    Windows 7 is Windows NT 6.1, not 6.5

  3. Re:Freedom ain't free on Native ZFS Is Coming To Linux Next Month · · Score: 1

    So has everything else in production today. What's next, it'll absorb the best features of Windows 95?
    We have Wine now, don't we?

  4. Honestly on Motorola Says eFuse Doesn't Permanently Brick Phones · · Score: 1

    I think needs to have a few of these bricks thrown through their window, then lets see how they treat their 3rd party developers and customers.

  5. Re:Flash Sucks on Adobe (Temporarily?) Kills 64-Bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Debian lacks the 32bit libraries to make flash 32bit in nspwrapper to work. We are forced if we use 64 bit to used 64bit flash... now that thats gone... I guess I'll be installing gnash.

    Hulu hasn't worked since february anyway.

  6. Re:1984 on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know about the rest of my state, but there is a large amount of Texans I know that are also upset over this. He's already been voting out, but it's too late. He's still in office till his term ends, which is enough to allow him enough time to do it.

  7. Re:seriously? on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    Because a Cell processor Rack costs in the 1000$ range for a single blade.

    Citation needed.

  9. Re:Still doesn't work on ArenaNet's MMO Design Manifesto · · Score: 1

    Unlike WoW, Guildwars has quite a bit of customization for your character. I've spent hours tweaking my character to my liking. The only time I've spent more time in the customization screen is in Oblivion.

  10. Re:There is a great forum for fixing such bugs on Why Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure Is Painful and Inefficient · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just look at Microsoft. They have them all the time and no one seems to care.

  11. Re:All browsers? on Serious New Java Flaw Affects All Browsers · · Score: 1

    I have to use Java Applets for my online college, but that's about it. A few online games still use Java over Flash (thank god). They are getting rarer, I must agree. I don't think it is because java is bad. It's just that the market Java was targeted to is more diluted with other 'easier' solutions like flash.

  12. Re:That's fine on Solaris No Longer Free As In Beer · · Score: 1

    No, linux is not Posix Certified. It is Posix Compliant.

  13. Re:North bridge, not so much... on Atom Processors Set New Record For Power-Efficient Sorting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here here!

    If any one attempted this test with a Arm Cortex 9A with the full 4 cores, this would be blown out of the water easily.

  14. Re:This is new?! on Multicore Requires OS Rework, Windows Expert Says · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it's more of a architecture problem. The x86 is a horrible creature, which has an inefficient language. What x86 does in a huge set of instructions, Arm can often do in 2/3 that many. All Mhz does is eat more power and generate more heat. The answer is smarter digital languages.

  15. Windows was made? on The Secret Origin of Windows · · Score: 1

    Windows was made?

    I just assumed it congealed somewhere in the C:\temp folder in dos.

  16. Solution: on Write Bits Directly Onto a Hard Drive Platter? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Old MFM hard drive should do the work. The entire device was controlled via software in dos. I have one lying around. A whopping 5 MB!

    Now all you need is a 8 bit ISA slot and you are set.

    Wait... now they are outsourcing their Lawyers? What next? Their CEO?

  18. Linux Port on Myst Online: Uru Live Returns As Free-To-Play · · Score: 1

    The game is mostly written in python. Going to love to see the code...

    I can only hope there is effort put forth to convert the game from DirectX to Opengl and have it run in a Linux environment. A while back there was also effort to make open source shard servers.

  19. Re:We're all mind readers on Mentioning Android Is a No-No In iPhone App Store · · Score: 1

    Linux is Linux Standard Base.

    Yes, I mean Konsole, XFCE-Terminal, Or Gnome's terminal. I would never expect the average user to use TTY. I do, but only when doing repairs.

  24. Re:Yes!! on Mozilla Unblocks Microsoft's .NET Addon · · Score: 1

    Or get the Debian Iceweasel packages from experimental. Seriously people, lets remember that Debian is Ubuntu's mother, and her packages can be used in Ubuntu as well. (and Vise versa for most parts.)

  25. Re:Still can't uninstall? on Mozilla Unblocks Microsoft's .NET Addon · · Score: 1

    Besides, real Debian based users should be using aptitude, not synaptic. But oh noes, a text user interface that can be used with a mouse in a virtual terminal is scary!
