  1. Re:Watchable show on Sarah Connor Chronicles — Why It Died · · Score: 5, Funny

    It'll be back.

  2. Re:Innovation is lacking in the browser market... on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what about a graph of sites you visited, instead of a list?

  3. Great! :) on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 1

    I always find myself ending up with loads and loads of tabs after a few hours of fascinated clicking or slacking off (which is good... right?). Tabs are not really helping when you start off reading manuals for some API you're trying to tame, get distracted by a really interesting concept mentioned in there, and finally end up with nine tabs of Wikipedia, a few eBay tabs, thirty webcomics and two blog posts about cabbage. I really can't "find" the three tabs with documentation if I want to go back to work.

    So the idea of grouping tabs sounds appealing to me. Maybe the groups of tabs could even get a different kind of behaviour, e.g. the anonymous browsing feature. Or a merge with the 'profiles' feature.

  4. What data? on Open Source Solution Breaks World Sorting Records · · Score: 1, Insightful

    They sorted 1TB in 62 seconds, and 1PB in 16.25 hours.

    This doesn't say anything if we don't know what kind of records were supposed to be sorted.

  5. Re:Other bases? on New Pattern Found In Prime Numbers · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that in base-2 with no zero-padding, 100% will start with 1.

    ...and all but two would end with 1 as well.

    Let me fix that for you.

  6. Re:Here is an idea... on Managing Player-Created Content In City of Heroes · · Score: 1

    Sorry; Certificate Authority. They sign/certify content, and are authorized by GMs. And don't ask what I mean by that.

  7. Why stop at age-appropriate rating? on Managing Player-Created Content In City of Heroes · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't quite understand why this guy seems set on only having a simple 'flag as inappropriate' button when there are so many more options available.

    "Flag as inappropriate for Pastafarians."

  8. Here is an idea... on Managing Player-Created Content In City of Heroes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Another way is to introduce CAs (trusted by the MMO vendor) to certify content made by players. Player makes content, player has it verified and signed by CA(s), player uploads content and signature(s). If the CA goofs up and signs something the vendor deems inappropriate, the CA is suspended or even banned. OTOH, if an CA is too strict, people will look for other CAs, which could be bad news for a CA, since it seems there are always ways to make money out of things like this.
