  1. Tested in IE8? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    The Header and Side bar scroll off the screen in IE8 while it sticks in Firefox 3.6,13
    Shading, Rounding, Shadowing are in Firefox, but not in IE8
    At the bottom in IE8 there is 'Today Yesterday Monday Sunday' and then it reverts to just 'Today' after the page finishes loading, in Firefox there is only 'Today'
    "This screen intentionally left blank" at the bottom of the page - is that a joke?
    "Many More" is not a button in IE8, in Firefox it is.
    Slashdot Poll. Recent Tags, YRO, etc. has the close X in the title bar, IE does not.
    Was this tested in IE8 at all?

  2. I will never buy an eBook on Amazon Taking Down Erotica, Removing From Kindles · · Score: 2

    For the very obvious reason that you don't own an eBook. When you buy a real book, you own that copy. When you buy an eBook, you are buying a license - that can be taken away. Add to that fact is that your real book never breaks, isn't tied to a cloud that disappears after a few years, and can be loaned out, given away or sold with impunity. And you don't need special software, or hardware, to read it (that gets obsoleted the very next year). I hate killing trees - almost as much as paying slightly less for something that affords me zero rights.

  3. I dont get it on Phony TCP Retransmissions Can Hide Secret Messages · · Score: 1

    Internet censorship relies on filtering all packets, retransmitted or not. How does retransmitting a 'failed' packet avoid censorship filters?

  4. O, not CO2? on World's First Battery Fueled By Air · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Seems to me one could kill two birds with one stone by using a catalyst that breaks down CO2 for the O energy. Clean the greenhouse gasses out of the air and help power the battery. But, then again, I'm no chemist.

  5. Great for Carjackers on Australia, UK To Test Vehicle Speed-Limiting Devices · · Score: 1

    Bypass the device in your crappy car then chase a BMW until his device shuts it down. Hijack, bypass and off you go. Its like wolves and goats. yeah, really smart until somebody gets jacked or killed.
