  1. Re:So how's the Windows version coming along? on KDE 4.8 Released · · Score: 1

    Actually, the standard Qt styles and Oxygen are included as well as a native Windows one.

  2. Re:Supported since Firefox 11 on Google's SPDY Could Be Incorporated Into Next-Gen HTTP · · Score: 1

    There's probably a reason it's not enabled by default though

    Lack of testing?

  3. Re:heart's in the right place, but on Why We Should Teach Our Kids To Code · · Score: 1

    In high-school I was in the informatics class , we learned to code in Pascal (remember that old language?)

    Yes, I learned it in school like three years ago.

  4. Re:Doubt it on Megaupload Shutdown: Should RapidShare and Dropbox Worry? · · Score: 1

    ...give or take an order of magnitude.

    Do they even have a limit anymore?

  5. Re:Doubt it on Megaupload Shutdown: Should RapidShare and Dropbox Worry? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's 50 hours.

    Ought to be enough for everybody.

  6. Re:Even deleted ones? on Library of Congress To Receive Entire Twitter Archive · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I stopped selling the book I wrote and it's been 30 days. May the world still have copies of it through some manner of legal acrobatics?

    Once you have published something, you cannot expect to be able to pull it back.

  7. Re:Free market for the win on Will Firefox Lose Google Funding? · · Score: 1

    For Tree Style Tabs, Chrome has a hidden option to display the tabs on the side. It won't display them as a tree, though. For Vimperator, there is an extension called "Vrome". I seriously doubt it's on par with Vimperator, feature-wise, though.

  8. Re:Free market for the win on Will Firefox Lose Google Funding? · · Score: 1

    I'm using a different ad blocking extension, and blocking Youtube ads works perfectly fine.

  9. Re:Holy smoke on Swiss Gov't: Downloading Movies and Music Will Stay Legal · · Score: 1

    No, that would be "Die Schweizer". The German term might be literally "The Switz"

  10. Re:From experience... on Does Telecommuting Make You Invisible? · · Score: 1

    Very true, except you don't need a horrible commute. Having telecommuted for years, I think you have to have a clear disconnect between work and home. I have a five-minute drive (or a really relaxing 30-minute walk if I feel like it). It's long enough to make a real break, and that's all I needed.

    I hope I have misunderstood you: you currently telecommute...by car?

  11. Re:Conservation can work, too on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 1

    If what we have is something akin to logistic or bounded growth, it will eventually stop.

  12. Re:This is nonsense. on JavaScript JVM Runs Java · · Score: 2

    I can see a use case: Once we have a mostly complete JVM interpreter with satisfactory performance written in Javascript, we can use any language that supports the JVM instead of Javascript.

  13. Re:Our solar system ... on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 1

    The world population is not growing exponentially but linearly at most

    Cutting welfare for those people who would not be able to find a job would be a) useless b) cruel c) cause social unrest that wastes even more resources.

  18. Re:Seriously? on Windows Phone Unlock Tool Goes Official · · Score: -1, Troll

    The sad thing is that this arguably makes Windows phones more open than most Android phones.

  19. Re:Memory footprint should be first priority on Mozilla Developers Testing Mobile OS · · Score: 3, Informative

    Firefox uses about as much as Chrome or any other browser

    That doesn't mean it's not a memory hog.

  20. Re:Why? on Eclipse Launches New Programming Language · · Score: 1

    People have tried to make it (i.e. Mono), but you can't run many C# apps on Mono.

    You can't run any C/C++ apps made for Windows on other platforms either.

  21. Re:Slow and stupid. on Belgium To Give Up Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    It's about 10% currently. However, he said his state has a percentage of 55%, not Germany as a whole.

  22. Re:Not likely on Schools In Portugal Moving To OSS · · Score: 1

    Are you sure that some of the fine print in that license doesn't say that the software has to be run under Windows? I suppose that in Europe that might not fly, they have stricter laws concerning interoperability.

    AFAIK Crossover (the commercial Wine distribution) has never gotten in any legal trouble either in Europe or the US, so I doubt that.

  23. Re:Good on Meet Firefox's Built-In PDF Reader · · Score: 5, Funny

    In Mozilla Firefox, Javascript interprets PDF!

  24. Re:Ugly GUI on 10 Years of Windows XP · · Score: 1

    You know you can choose the 2000-like classic style even in 7?

  25. Re:Will Apple let... on Will Apple Let Siri and Apps Connect? · · Score: 1

    They might, however, enforce it. There's just nothing in between for them.
