  1. Re:Excellent News on Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series · · Score: 1

    Yeah, until he starts his endless tweaking... The question I have is, how many different editions are there going to be of the first season? I can just see it now...

    "Season 1, special edition!" "Season 1, dvd edition!" "Season 1, ultimate dvd edition!" "Season 1, ultimate dvd special edition!" ....

  2. Re:Ok, raise your hand if.. on RMS Weighs in on BitKeeper Debacle · · Score: 1

    I think it took him awhile to get the right mixture of references to "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" in his post so that people didn't accuse him of trying to start another holy war.

  3. Re:It's quite possible there are more bugs in Fire on Pros and Cons of Firefox Critically Evaluated? · · Score: 1

    It also doesn't matter whether Firefox has more security problems than IE. That's not the true test of which browser is more secure.

    Software that complicated is ALWAYS going to have bugs and vulnerabilities. It's the nature of the beast.

    The more reliably secure product is the one which responds to vulnerabilities quickly, both in terms of patches to the development trunk as well as to the user base.

    So for all the people that pat themselves on the back because for some period IE had fewer security related bugs than Firefox, whoopdedoo. Firefox still patched them faster.

    Besides, no matter what you say about Firefox vs IE, Fx doesn't do ActiveX, while IE still has that tremendous gaping hole wide open (can you say "bend over" ?)

  4. Re:Watching the watchers? on AOL Monitor Accused of Luring 15-Year-Old for Sex · · Score: 1

    The "fscking parents" are too busy pointing the finger at anyone or anything else (AOL chat room monitors, Cookie Monster, whatever) that "failed" to parent their children for them, which is why their kids are too stupid, say, to avoid sexual predators on the internet.

    It's not in parents best interests to actually parent, since this way they can divest themselves of all responsibility. And they can probably sue for extra $$$ in the process.

    So where's their incentive to actually parent?

  5. Re:Drops? on Mozilla Drops Support for International Domains · · Score: 5, Informative

    Now I understand why the Mozilla community consistently blasts Slashdot for "not getting it". Lately it doesn't even seem like the submitters are even bothering to read the articles before they rush to post their mental mucus.

    Mozilla has temporarily disabled internationalized domain name handling until they figure out a long term fix. This is not 'dropping' anything. They're not ripping out the IDN code, they're just trying to protect their users while they figure out a fix, and most of the English-speaking world isn't even going to notice a difference anyway.
