  1. Re:Article is Wrong - Guy Has Become a Pest on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 1

    The event's video is all over youtube tho, and people are hitting him and he appears to tell them to stop til he has to use spray. Odd.

  2. Superhero saved my life on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I know, sounds as cheesy as it can get.

    Still - I, for one, already got into a fight with bad people. 6v1 with knifes kind of bad people, who just wanted my belongings and more likely, just something to hit, because I'd gladly leave my belongings and keep on living like anybody else.

    As it was inside a moving train, I "resisted" for a few minutes, and people just went away (mind you, no one called for help, police, guards, etc), leaving me with my problems. It became bad when they took out the knifes.
    Well, lucky day, that's when a super hero came in and kicked them out. An ex military, and the kind you just see in movies. It was easily won 2v6 (and I'm no fighter).

    I'm glad he was there. Next time he'll call 911 instead and watch me die, right? Thanks for the tip police it sounds like the right thing to do!

    I'm telling you, in any situation like that where you know you're actually able to help (obviously this guy was) - fucking do it. If you're not, then do call 911.

    You right and both RMS and SJ were assholes in that way.
    And you know what? That's the kind of assholes I respect. Neither of them is entirely correct in the eyes of everyone. Neither of them is afraid to fight for what they believe in. Both of them made a huge difference.

    Please don't include the Linux community in your views.
    It's like reproaching RMS to include GNU in his view, except he founded it. You did not.

    Plus, he's spot on. You are not. So please, don't include everyone in your hateful views. It's not shared. And I'm glad Linux uses the GPL and that we have GNU/Linux distros.

    Thanks.

  5. The reason why I use folders... on Putting Emails In Folders Is a Waste of Time, Says IBM Study · · Score: 1

    is not to make them easier to find.

    It's to have less emails in the inbox to read every day. I don't need to read all the announcements stuff, all the bugs stuff. I just want to read the personally, directly address mail and see if theres anything urgent.

    Then I still wanna keep the other ones so i can read through when i got time, or just search through later if i need them.

    So there you have it; Sorting by folder has not much to do with actually searching for mails later on.
    It's only about having only the important mails disturbing you with a "new mail notification". That's that.

    Pretty sure It's what most use it for.

  7. Privacy on Google Apps Engine Gets SQL · · Score: 1

    Gotta love pushing away data to those various cloud data provider.

    I hope some people encrypt stuff and store in blobs (albeit, I'm sure, somewhere in the agreement this must be forbidden for funny reasons)

  8. Re:Step 1, no DRM on Movie Industry: Loss of Control Worse Than Piracy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd pay $100 for 720p or above access to all movies, all shows, anytime i want, even the stuff that was on tv the same day, or a couple of days earlier, and movies as soon as they hit DVD/Bluray (ideally, just after cinema in fact). Heck, that'd be well worth it. I might even go higher.

    I'd also pay $50 for dvd or above access to relatively recent movies and shows.

    But i'm never going to pay $30 for old movies, old shows, various qualities, various availability, that's stupid. And it's hard to get better, specially when your country doesn't have netflix.

    In fact, most of the tv shows can only be acquired if you pirate them. And for movies, you gotta wait almost a year to be able to buy them bluray (2 years for stream); who are they kidding?

  9. This is one of the worse bench compil ever on Tom's Hardware Pits Newest Firefox, Opera and Chrome Against Each Other · · Score: 1

    So many different results all over the place with zero comprehension of the results, such a shame.
    There's so many "wrong" that I don't want to start listing. This is a purely sensationalistic thing with nearly no value.
    Oh and they'll make sure NOT to report errors they found while loading sites so that they can use their test again and again. Fixing bugs? Nah!

  10. Re:are you kidding me? on Firefox 8.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    pretty obviously this is one of the changes, or maybe small changes shouldn't be done and reported right? only big changes allowed! so that we can complain on how they made a big change (which is also usually the case)
    i think people are just looking for reasons to dislike it

  11. Re:I-9100, can't reproduce on Security Flaw Bypasses AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Screen Lock · · Score: 1

    Note: GT-I9100 is the original EU/Intl version of the SGS2.

  12. I-9100, can't reproduce on Security Flaw Bypasses AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Screen Lock · · Score: 1

    I've a GT-I9100 with the latest firmware and I can't reproduce it. Kinda odd. I wonder if its a AT&T version issue only, or if they have 3rd party software.

    That being said, I'd never trust that stuff - specially the pattern - as a real security protection. It's easy to guess patterns, its easy to follow the finger's smudge (and you can guess even without that as patterns are not all that complex usually).

    Bottom line its a protection against the jealous girlfriend, the little childrens, that sort of stuff. Default is to have no protection on the lock at all, which is just "drag to unlock", and thats the protection against accidental unlock only.

  14. Re:Why is this news? on Firefox 8.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    Because people still have to complain about the version number, so they up vote this stuff. It's important to them, because they want people to switch to Chrome.
    Oh yeah, Chrome versions are worse and its released more often, but that's beyond the point. The point is to bash, flame, troll, the competition. That's what people like.
    And then again, that's why this story is up voted.

    why didn't you switch when you could use ebay as search engine in firefox? or wikipedia? or amazon? or bing? or yagoo?
    have you noticed, default is google, and every single engine can be set as default, should you want to.

    basically, you're dumb.

    it's not that it doesn't matter to them its that they don't realize it, and Google is working hard so that it stays the case.
    privacy matters to nearly everyone.

  18. Re:Google Maps and Firefox vs. Chrome on Chrome Set To Take No. 2 Spot From Firefox · · Score: 1

    Google websites and Chrome use SPDY, a Google-only thingie, that is a hack on top of TCP. It allow secure and faster http communication by compressing the headers and using a single channel. The alternative is SCTP, which is also pretty cool but at the protocol level.
    That said, since a proper implementation of that would take forever, I'm guessing SPDY might get implemented in other browsers, and in other http servers too I guess.

    Right now tho, its some "Google-only-non-standard-thing".
    Maps shows the most difference due to the way its built, but this also works on gmail, docs, etc, all Google services.
