  1. Re:The Whole Web! on Flash On Android Fails To Impress · · Score: 1

    Opposed to flash content where the player runs the content (and therefor acquires resources from the system) JS content is run by the browser. If the browser detects some script that goes crazy it will simply kill it (or ask you if you want to kill it). I think it's better to let the browser render web content (including ads) in stead of create a browser inside your browser, so you can render while you render.

  2. OpenID on France Outlaws Hashed Passwords · · Score: 1

    This is an excellent example of a situation where outsourcing authentication would be a good idea. Every now and then, a paranoid politician comes up with a clever idea on "how to catch criminals". It's a good thing we have the technology to ignore their absurd requests.

  3. Re:Why is Europe more hostile to IE? on IE9 May Not Be Enough To Save IE · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If that's how fragile IE customer loyalty is it's obvious that IE/msft has as much as a credibility issue as a technology issue.
    Not that it surprises me. Every person I know with more that average insight in computers has been advocating anything else as long as there has been a real alternative.

  4. Why is Europe more hostile to IE? on IE9 May Not Be Enough To Save IE · · Score: 1

    I'm kind of curious what makes the European market adopt non-IE browsers faster than the North American market.

  5. Re:For those who are American on Swedes Cast Write-In Votes for SQL Injection, Donald Duck · · Score: 1
    Let me get that right for you.

    Sweden is not a democracy. We lost that definition the moment the police started to break the law to stop those who follow it (the law vs the smartdrugs industry).

    You stopped being a country when you joined the European Union.

  6. Re:Efficiency doesn't matter on Possible Breakthrough In Hydrogen Energy · · Score: 1

    Actually, methane is a really good idea. Normal petrol fueled cars run fine on methane gas if you install a pretty cheap injection kit. Also, burning gas in stead of petrol leaves close to zero particles in the air, and drastically reduces the emission of NOx gasses.
    Infrastructure is not very hard to achieve, and is actually already in place in parts of Europa.

  7. Mind control on Do Car Safety Problems Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our car controlling overlords

  8. Re:Not sure what you're looking at... on Is the Line-in Jack On the Verge of Extinction? · · Score: 1

    I third this. iMic is a great product :-) I guess the use for a line in jack has become so rare that the computer manufacturers don't bother spending money on it anymore.

  9. Chicken or the egg on "Patent Markings" Lawsuits Could Run Into the Trillions · · Score: 1

    One could start to wonder: What causes the US legal system to be all screwed up? Is it lobbyists who pay off politicians to make crazy laws who then gets transfered to the legal system, or is it court precedence that eventually turns into laws? I for one wonder how much time and resources the US courts waste every year on people suing each other for the pure benefit of earning some easy cash. I'm sure I could sue a tool manufacturer for not placing a warning on the hammer, that it could hurt my finger if i miss the nail. It's sorry to see such degeneration of what some might call "civilization". What ever happened to common sense?

  10. Scrödingers cat? on Zombie Pigs First, Hibernating Soldiers Next · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that get assosiations to a certain cat in a certain box, who's state is not alive nor dead? I say: Commence the cat testing!

  11. Hush... on A Standardized OS For Robots · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just don't tell msft.

  12. Must be the heat on Land Rover Unveils "World's Toughest Phone" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I read "World's Thoughest iPhone". Think I have to stay off the Apple news for a while...
