  1. Re:The competition is OSX on Windows 7 RTM Reviewed & Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    These two are dueling now, but some third OS might have the last laugh here still.

  2. Re:Variant of UNIX according to their sockpuppet, on Microsoft Acknowledges Linux Threat To Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Linux ~ UNIX is a trademark issue, POSIX "Portable Operating System Interface for Unix" compliance is an IEEE standard implementation issue. These are two distinct problems.

  3. Laminated Lithium-ion Batteries on Nissan Unveils All-Electric LEAF · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Based on AESCs testing, the cells will retain more than 80% capacity after 7 years, including 70,000 km (43,496 miles).

    9.2 kWh pack recharges in 15 minutes time. This truly could be a game changer in EV-battery technology.

    Full detail on the battery tech:

  4. Re:Actively stabilized fusion on Piston-Powered Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    Your laser compressed, ignited and magnetic flux stabilized fusion scheme looks more reasonable and promising than this (TFA) mechanical molten lead and piston driven foolishness, hopefully you guys will be able to produce some real word energy producing setup soon.

  5. You must pay for protection, err, for connection on Electric Company Wants Monthly Fee For Solar Users · · Score: 1

    You pay something for being connected. They rolled the cable to your door, so now you must pay for their efforts.

    This is classic tactics also employed by local land line gov. owned Telcos here for using their land line. I do not use land line phone for example at all, but must pay for the wall socket otherwise they will cut the cable leading to my house or something. Nobody really cared until people started to cancel the wired connection contracts.

  6. Re:But it's not - it's suborbital. on White Knight Two Unveiled · · Score: 1

    You move the industry off into space, the surface of Earth can be left for living.

    So true. Also you can use sky-hooks to lift the cargo from sub-orbital to orbital position. Moving things into space at the fraction of the cost we do now.

  7. Re:Wait a minute... on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 1

    Big "HAHA" tag missing. Exactly. I mean this is rip-off of the century.

  8. Chasing minions of Cthul on DHS Tries to Safeguard Against Giant Monster Attack · · Score: 1

    These intelligence, defense and security agencies. Under their nanny oversight like 80% of our manufacturing shifted to China, outsourcing, debts, mortgage and Wall-street meltdowns, ban on vital research, rampart unemployment, undermined business environment.

    The real battlefield of today, the economy, we are losing on all fronts. It seams like ever more major technology firms are from Asia today, they have no idea what is important, what to protect or where to help.

  9. Re:Makes me wonder on Null Character Hack Allows SSL Spoofing · · Score: 1

    This is not language related problem. Having a C string doesn't stop you to proper check it or handle it safely.

  10. Re:Makes me wonder on Null Character Hack Allows SSL Spoofing · · Score: 1

    Who's the fscking idiot who thought having \0 indicate end-of-string..

    His name should not be that fscking hard to find, if you care about that, the SSL related code is open source.

  11. Google could stop this, but.. on Google Warns About Search-Spammer Site Hacking · · Score: 1

    The funniest part of this is that Google itself seams to fund them and has the ability to stop this MFA sites, link fraud sites -- this is a connected issue, but for some (very obvious) reason keeps it quiet.

  12. Re:Filed: October 9, 2008 on Company Awarded "The Patent For Podcasting" · · Score: 4, Informative

    Looks bad to me, their claim seams legit, the actual fill date goes back to 2003 TA:

    filed for this particular patent in November 2003 a time, Navar said, before it was obvious that people would download episodic content such as podcasts.

    They are talking over the red phone with Apple now and it looks like their IP lawyers already rolled out the subpoena Gatling.

  13. Re:YAWN on Apple Kills Google Voice Apps On the iPhone · · Score: 2, Informative

    Google got rejected. GOOGLE. That is big ^^ and not a yawn you tit.

  14. Re:Anti-privacy tool? on Ubisoft Working On a New Anti-Piracy Tool · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Anti-sales tool, that is the third reading here..

  15. Re:Why consider this for academics but not music? on Should Copyright of Academic Works Be Abolished? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Copyright is vital, albeit flawed. Friend of mine made guitar lesson videos for YouTube, he spent half a year creating them, week after he posted them. Some dudes picked them up and uploaded them using their own YouTube accounts some of them have been placed above the original videos, gathering views, stealing credits, possible subscribers etc. Copyright is your only lever to prevent this from happening.

  16. Re:Apple needs to re-think some things on Google Latitude Arrives For the iPhone — As a Web App · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Steve Jobs had lots of misses too. I don't think Apple is invincible.

  17. Astrologically speaking on Is Jupiter Earth's Cosmic Protector? · · Score: 1

    If the word logically doesn't offend you in that context. The largest temple in Rome was that of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill (Wiki). So the Romans at least worshiped deities of some real world benefit.

  18. Re:Old news on Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do those machines posses will, lust or greed ? I mean being smart like "DeepBlue" chess computer doesn't mean the thing is going to be willing to dominate you in other areas.

  19. Re:PAL50 isn't new on Are Console Developers Neglecting Their Standard-Def Players? · · Score: 1

    PAL50 is evil, it feels choppy, there is a night and day difference for many between PAL50 and PAL60.

  20. Re:how about c++ on The Best First Language For a Young Programmer · · Score: 1

    C/C++ is for the pros, for hobbyist it is probably better to stick with Visual Basic, C#, Java, Ruby, Perl, Python, PHP, Automator etc.

  21. Re:"Not engineering"? on The Best First Language For a Young Programmer · · Score: 1

    Chinese iFone is engineering, Apple iPhone is craftsmanship.

  22. Re:(internet tech here) threatens (nation here)... on Skype Apparently Threatens Russian National Security · · Score: 1

    This is related to big nations exclusively, the smaller the state is the stakes are generally lower and the people are more free. Less police, less army, no taxes and no wiretapping. Do you see the connection here ?

  24. Re:But will they be useful without concepts? on Stroustrup Says New C++ Standard Delayed Until 2010 Or Later · · Score: 1

    It was clear that C++ was the product of very confused minds

    Hahaha, so explain to me why is C++ used exclusively in production environments like mission critical servers (Google), browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox), operating systems (Windows), game consoles (X360, PS3, Nintendo Wii), games (Crysis, Counter-Strike, Doom etc.), portable devices like Sony PSP and alike ?

    I do not want to break your matrix but outside (in the real word)

  25. Re:Profits, but for whom? on Stock Market Manipulation By Millisecond Trading · · Score: 1

    What kind of indices are you trading? Most of the stock quotes barely move on second or even minute basis, that would make the "Millisecond Trading" impossible..
