  1. Re:Awesome Bar on Is Mozilla Ubiquity Dead? · · Score: 1

    It's nothing like the Awesome Bar. That said, it was a incredibly awesome. Unfortunately the development was bjorked. It's still being developed, as far as I can tell there are still two coders working on it actively. But with stuff like the shitty UI getting in the way, it's never really going to be adopted. I love Ubiquity, but can understand why the project has been dropped as the framing isn't quite right.

  2. Re:obligatory .... on Using Windows 7 RC? Pay Up Or Auto Shutdown Warned · · Score: 1

    +1

  3. Re:Welcome to 3 years ago on Why "Verified By Visa" System Is Insecure · · Score: 1

    If I had mod-points, Weatherspoons on the end there would've got you one.

  4. Re:The homepage. on YouTube Revamp Imminent? · · Score: 1

    Or add a keyword, I seldom use my search bar, all of the useful searches are keyword searches for my address bar: google wiki slang dict youtube

  5. Re:Good thing on Testing a Pre-Release, Parallel Firefox · · Score: 1

    I'm all for plugin isolation, but tab isolation is stupid. I haven't had Firefox crash on me in near a year and yet the same can't be said for Chrome. When Chrome did freeze however and I skipped to Task Manager, I had no idea what process to kill.

  6. Peer-To-Peer TV The Answer To Sporting Woes? on Time To Ditch Cable For Internet TV? · · Score: 1

    Streaming is great, but in terms of sport, with the army of lawyers the Premiership/UEFA has, the streams fall down very quickly. There needs to be some sort of viable option in place and it seems that the Powers That Be aren't interested in streaming games for a decent price. Thus we're stuck hoping that P2PTV comes up to scratch quickly.

  7. Re:Only video sites? on Tired of Flash? HTML5 Viewer For YouTube · · Score: 1

    This is exactly what I thought, not exactly hard to do.

  8. Re:Microsoft claimed no such thing on Google Partners With Twitter For Search · · Score: 1

    That fact that no one cares about Bing is hardly new.

  9. Re:Hoax on Singer In Grocery Store Ordered To Pay Royalties · · Score: 1

    I think it's more likely the case of PRS guy buys dirty magazine. Wife finds dirty magazine. PRS guy is banned from sex for a month. PRS guy decides to take it out on the shop that sold him said dirty magazine.

  10. ASCAP and the PRS do good work on Singer In Grocery Store Ordered To Pay Royalties · · Score: 1

    It seems as though there's a case here of someone being a little overzealous in the offices that deal with the above area, but these are the companies that most often guarantee that artists [that are smart enough to retain their own publishing] get paid. It's these companies that are in charge of royalty payments so that means songs played on radio, samples used in other songs and music for adverts. Old people living off the dividends of a once flourishing career are grateful for the cheques that these companies send on a regular basis.

  11. Oh the geekery on Plagiarism-Detection Software Confirms Shakespeare Play · · Score: 1

    Every vague and vaguely funny Shakespeare reference under the sun. I'm so LUCKY!

  12. I'm a Greenwich resident on 125 Years of Longitude 0 0' 00" At Greenwich · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's a wonderful thing to live a phlegms breath away from such a staple part of our species everyday lives.

  13. So the facebook conspiracy on CIA Invests In Firm That Datamines Social Networks · · Score: 1

    does this put that to rest?

  14. Wow... on Kaspersky CEO Wants End To Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    How to lose credibility in a day or less.

  15. Stupid... on UK Copyright Group Tells Cinemas to Ban Laptops · · Score: 1

    Why don't people run these ideas by their kids before they write the press releases. This is just embarrassing.

  16. Erm... on Tim Berners-Lee Is Sorry About the Slashes · · Score: 1

    I've never minded the slashes and to be fair http:slashdot.com just isn't as charismatic. however, that said. and this probably extends beyond his scope. I've always thought that the method in which URI's were written was the wrong way round. I'd like to see it all changed so something along the lines of: http://com.slashdot.tech/story/xx/xx/xx/xxx.html

  17. Meh! on Improving the PlayStation Store · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is how the world works, there's little parity between the likes of the US and the UK let alone Oz. It's stupid to complain that another English version of the game has a different number next to the dollar sign signifying a different currency which in the real world runs circles around your own currency.

  18. Hmmmm...... on Has Texting Replaced Talking For Teens? · · Score: 1

    I don't think they hand out prizes for stating the obvious here?
