  2. Re:And all for what? on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 1

    Do you also know why this is ?

    Atleast I heared that the material where these displays are cut out of have a certain size and when they cut it for wide-monitors they waste less material. So that is why the others are more expensive.

  3. Re:And the crowd, didn't care.. on AMD Releases FirePro V5900 and V7900 Workstation GPUs · · Score: 1

    Actually this is true in any field. PR is just PR and a way to confuse consumers to sell them stuff they don't need.

    What I don't get how could anyone choose to put Sendmail in the book instead of Postfix, which obviously has a better architecture.

    That is why people on Ubuntu add a ppa for the app they care about (just geeks, most users don't care btw).

    But banks have shitloads of money. ;-)

  7. Re:Your not qualified on Should a Web Startup Go Straight To the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    That is not what I heared, I heared Amazon's servers are on a lot of blacklists because their IP's are used to sent spam. So even legitimate email can't get out.

    (maybe my information is outdated)

  8. Re:Hmm... on Should a Web Startup Go Straight To the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    The whole scaling argument of the cloud is bullshit.

    Most websites aren't setup to allow the site te scale, with a dedicated system you get more power per machine.

    'In the cloud' you get a VM on a machine shared by many, so lots of overhead and maybe only a slice.

    It doesn't sound like this person knows much about scaling either, so the cloud won't help him.

  9. Re:Safari browser exploits on Why You Shouldn't Panic Over Mac Malware · · Score: 2

    The solution is obvisous, disconnect all the ethernet connectors, wifi, bluetooth, usb, firewire, cd-/dvd-drives and whatever else you can think of and lock it in a bunker.

    While you are at is, remove the user too. :-)

    Maybe it will be a bit more secure after that.

  12. Re:Playing with dbus on Linux Gets Dynamic Firewalls In Fedora 15 · · Score: 2

    no, it takes down dbus and it might make some thing on your _desktop_ not work anymore (because I think that is what this is for). iptables is in the kernel, it is not effected.

    I think this is just a frontend to iptables

    libvirt maybe ? It is a library and tooling for handling all kinds of VM.

    Here is a list of applications:

    I'm more of a OpenVZ/Linux-VServer/Linux Containers (lxc) guy it uses a lot less resources and you don't need any special hardware.

    So I've never done it, but people are doing that.

    With KVM you don't need to pay for VMWare or Microsoft ;-) Just run Linux as a host and Linux as VMs.

    Do you know what people do who run other VM-solutions (if that is more than 7 Windows VM, that is where the price point is) ?

    They run Linux with KVM or whatever and buy a data center license they don't use so they can run as many Windows VM's they want.

    It did reboot automatically when Windows 2008 R2 SP1 came out. Thanks Microsoft !

    No I think Microsoft has this wrong way around.

    Linux as the host, Windows as the VM, much better.

  19. 2 monitors and different orientation on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    I'm not really impressed by using 2 different monitors, that is what virtual desktops are for.

    However I do have 2 large monitors, large resolution, apps maximised and a hotkey to move windows from one to the other.

    But the monitors are differently orientated

    I work on one monitor, but when I need to read a PDF it is easier to read it on the other monitor.

  23. Re:Info and thoughts on WebGL Poses New Security Problems · · Score: 1

    I'm much more worried about the 'hardware acceleration' browser makers are using. WebGL is a very well defined subset of OpenGL.

    Anyway I've seen many browser/drivers/operating systems and other parts of the stack fail on it.

    I think it will take time for the driver, operating system, browser makers to get it right.

    You can also look at it differently: We've had exploits with images, do people disable it by default ?

    If you want to disable something, do it like the HTML5 Geolocation, pop up a bar: "do you want to share location information with this site ?"

    Not only that, someone or more than one from Google or the community (it is an open source project afterall) has to look at the problem anyway, if only to see if there are other places that have similair problems.
