  1. Re:Just keep it off the servers.... on The Classic Control Panel In Windows May Be Gone · · Score: 1

    I actually thought this is what the Windows Server Manager was supposed to do away with - having to open the Control Panel/Computer Management in an RDP session in order to make significant system changes. How did you find using Server Manager in 2012?

  2. Re: I use my own reader on Google Reader: One Year Later · · Score: 1

    Would you be so kind to share the source? This sounds interesting.

  3. Re: Choice is NOT ALWAYS good on Google Forks OpenSSL, Announces BoringSSL · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, OpenSocial tried to solve exactly that problem? http://opensocial.org/

    If I recall correctly, OpenSocial tried to solve exactly that problem?

  5. Re:The Psychology of Computer Programming on Ask Slashdot: Books for a Comp Sci Graduate Student? · · Score: 1

    Agree. Add to that: - Winograd & Flores: Understanding Computers and Cognition: A New Foundation for Design

  6. Paint .NET on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Consider Elegant Code? · · Score: 1

    I find the source code for Paint .NET to be a good example of well written code (at least for a GUI driven application in a modern OO language).

  7. Networking, networking, networking... on Ask Slashdot: Which Ph.D For Work In Applied Statistics / C.S.? · · Score: 1

    Coming from the enterprise IT consulting field, I can tell you that what is just as important is the network that you build up through your education and work. It sounds like the Ivy League University is going to give you better network opportunities plus a really good way of branding yourself in future interviews. From a career perspective, I would go with the Ivy League option.

  8. Once Again: The relevance of J. Searle on Does Quantum Theory Explain Consciousness? · · Score: 2

    The journalist and prominent thinkers behind this article ought to read the paper 'Is the brain a digital computer' by John Searle (http://philosophy.wisc.edu/shapiro/Phil554/PAPERS/Is%20the%20Brain%20a%20Digital%20Computer.htm). Not only is it relevant to current research into strong/weak AI paradigms and philosophy of cognition --- it also provides a nice counterargument against physicalistic reductionism around human cognition.

  9. Re:TPG has the best plans on Australia's Largest ISP Ditches Linux Mirror · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. TPG even sports a flat-rate ADSL2 (called 'unlimited ADSL'), which is quite revolutionary for the Australian xDSL market. Now, I just can't wait to the NBN to be finished.

  10. As a Danish immigrant to Australia... on Inside Australia's Data Retention Proposal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... I have to say that this is nothing but seriously scary.

  11. Re:Firefox is a stinking pile of garbage on 2.0 Beta Chrome On Windows, Chromium On Linux · · Score: 1

    I completely forgot about the person who left Netscape with his last words "You can't polish a Turd" after Netscape open sourced their browser and morphed into Mozilla Foundation.

    Besides the fact that your technical comparison is correct, it's incredible how fast people are at ditching Firefox for being slow -- while at the same time embracing Firefox when a new version of Internet Explorer is released. I'd call it the fallacy of browser competition.

    I'd love to use Chrome. I actually tried the latest stable release on Win32 a couple of time, and it's incredibly fast. But I use Mac OS X on my desktop, and Google haven't ported the browser yet.

    Google, keep up the good work and port the browser to Mac OS X as soon as possible!
