    No excuses, there are ways to have java without the plugin if you are that paranoid :)

  2. Law on Bas Lansdorp Answers Your Questions About Going to Mars · · Score: 1

    I wonder if someone breaks a law on Mars who do they answer to?

  3. Re:How is this tech/science/... related? on Hans Reiser Sued By Own Kids For $15 Million · · Score: 1

  5. Openelec on First Steps With the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    I received my Raspi a few days ago and the first thing I have tried is running OpenElec to run XBMC and it runs very well. So many things to try not enough time.

  6. Re:Have we learned nothing... on 8% of Android Apps Are Leaking Private Information · · Score: 2

    All applications with ads ask for those permissions. They don't want to advertise something you can't buy in your own country.

    If you don't want that then buy an application with no ads - simple.

  7. Re:Will it run Linux? on GameStop To Build Its Own Gaming Tablet? · · Score: 1

    No it will run Windows and have a battery life of 5 minutes (enough to show the desktop and start bar) and the weight of the table will help you build muscle tone.

  8. Good move on Cisco To Challenge iPad With Cius 'Business Tablet' · · Score: 1

    Cisco want to be more than just routing and switching and need to stay relevant with all the new ways/devices which connect to the corporate network/cloud. I think this is a good move for them.

    If this device is:

    Reasonably Priced
    Easy to buy
    Easy to use
    Gets the tick from Security

    then - I want.

  9. Re:why buy WoG through Steam, instead of NOT throu on Steam Client for Mac Launches, Linux Client On the Way · · Score: 1

    One word - convenience. You should really try Steam, it is awesome.

  10. Bing in by stealth on Bing Loses More Money As Microsoft Chases Google · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Bing will find its place in companies desktop SOE through the transition between Windows XP and Windows 7. Most companies will lock down the desktops pretty tight, so depending on how your IT department feels you may not get a choice of what search engine you use.
    There may even be incentives to do this... I hope not.

  11. Ubuntu on Microsoft-Yahoo Search Deal Gets Go-Ahead From EU, US DoJ · · Score: 1

    So Lucid users can look forward to using Bing as the default search engine.

  12. Re:Mac on Civilization V Announced For This Fall · · Score: 2, Insightful

  13. Lame on Microsoft RickRolls Wi-Fi Network Leechers · · Score: 1, Funny

  15. haha Nokia n900 fanbois on Nexus One First Phone Linus Torvalds "Doesn't Hate" · · Score: 1

    Linus hates you and your evil phone (im joking)

  16. Re:Too little, too late on Symbian Completes Transition To Open Source · · Score: 1

    How many Debian apps are tailored for a phone that a normal consumer will use?

  17. Re:So what does it do? on AMD Publishes Open-Source "ATI Evergreen" Driver · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I would be happy if the proprietary driver could play video without flickering.

  18. Reason: Power on Why Has No One Made a Great Gaming Phone? · · Score: 1

    Games require alot of power and communication with cellular networks do too. At the moment, you don't care if your DS or PSP runs out of battery but it is a bit more of an issue with a phone which you may need in an emergency.

  19. Re:Big Battle on Bing To Become Default iPhone Search? · · Score: 1

    1.I judged Bing by doing a search on the word Linux and at the time it came up with the top result for a linux vs MS Server page on Microsoft. Ok so they fixed that but still. How can I trust them to not hide things from me.

    2. Yes. Have you see the Windows 7 party video on YouTube, or have you used Windows Mobile? All very cringe worthy. Bing is just a copy of Google with a fancy background.

    3. I would have more respect for Microsoft if they didn't always try to lock you in to their products e.g Sharepoint, Office, C# etc.

    4. Hard to say....

  20. Re:Big Battle on Bing To Become Default iPhone Search? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the thought of using bing makes me cringe

  21. We have energy saving features already on Bell Labs Says Networks Can Be 1000 Times More Energy Efficient · · Score: 1

    For example - Cisco routers have the ability to hibernate PoE ports and turn off modules at certain times of the day or when they are not required. With Virtualised environments you can turn of VMs for times when you have lighter load etc. I am sure other hardware/OS has features like this but people just need to use them.

    I don't mind contributing my PC resources to that, RickAstley@Home anyone?
