  1. Re:Most important button on You Can Navigate Between Any Two Websites In 19 Clicks Or Fewer · · Score: 1

    the longest shortest-chain.

    sounds strange, but if you think about it, its the correct definition.

  2. No, you cannot on You Can Navigate Between Any Two Websites In 19 Clicks Or Fewer · · Score: 2

    There are pages with no outgoing links. Before anyone yells "thats not part of the web", there are ingoing links, so its linked to the web.

    paying money for some anonymous imageboard ... can there be a more obvious trap?

  4. WebGL sucks in most implementations on Why Hasn't 3D Taken Off For the Web? · · Score: 0

    From time to time my android hangs, when loading a webpage, even in background ... after checking why, its every time a webpage with some WebGL-experiment.

    As long as it can make your browser so unstable, its better not to use WebGL.

  5. Re:Don't rely on security-though-obscurity on SSH Password Gropers Are Now Trying High Ports · · Score: 1

    maybe its a american thing, most european isps cut your connection after at most 24 hours, and do not re-assign the same ip. The TV-cable ISPs are a exception from this rule, there it is hard to get a new ip.

    next step of the malware: intercept google.

    password + TAN isn't two-factor?

    until the typical isp adopts ipv6.

  9. Re:Don't rely on security-though-obscurity on SSH Password Gropers Are Now Trying High Ports · · Score: 1

    most isps disconnect the connection after 12 to 24 hours, then you get a new ip. So you're an exception from the usual rule.

    so you're thinking the great firewall of china is only blocking incomming connections? WTF

    they will use it, to stop trying. win-win.

    what i mean is: If your hardware is closed, your software may be open. Which is quite a big ADVANTAGE, if you're a free software developer, who just wants to provide cool software. Its still a big problem, if you're the customer wanting to use the media in any possible way (your good right, imho).

    have a look at UCK to build a custom boot-image.

  18. Re:Poisoning the well on Do Not Track Ineffective and Dangerous, Says Researcher · · Score: 1

    you do not support sites by allowing ads, without buying the products.
    A ad costs the advertiser money: money for the space at the homepage (the money you want the homepage owner to have) and hosting cost (traffic, server rent). If the advertiser shows you the ad, its costly for him. If you buy something, its profitable. But if you do not buy something, the sum is negative, so he will lower the pay for the homepage owner in the long run. So only unblock ads, if you plan buying stuff from them.
    Most intelligent people do not buy because of ads, so its pointless to unblock them.

    you're implying, there would be more murder, if it were legal.
    No, it would not. But it needs to be illegal, so you can (legally) punish the murderer. You cannot do this, while its still legal.

    the final hack is a camera in front of the monitor. But the quality will be lower and/or the methods will be more complicated. So you can at least limit everything, which happens in software. While still using opensource software.

  22. Re:Can't Go Backwards on Ask Slashdot: Why Is It So Hard To Make An Accurate Progress Bar? · · Score: 1

    progress measurement can be (and the user wants it to be) a percentage of the total time. and in this sense, an option might be to make the progressbar longer, when the estimated total time grows (because the progress grows at a slower rate than expected).

  23. Re:Can't Go Backwards on Ask Slashdot: Why Is It So Hard To Make An Accurate Progress Bar? · · Score: 1

    the total bar should get longer. sorry, if my posting was unclear to you.

  24. Re:Reality vs idealism on W3C Declares DRM In-Scope For HTML · · Score: 1

    you're not understanding my postings. GPG is opensource, your private key is not. A program reading a encrypted video-stream and forwarding it via a trusted path to the graphics card can be opensource, the key inside the tpm/graphics card/monitor cannot. so trusted computing enables opensource DRM, while the current situation requires closed source to implement a DRM-System.

    Two totally different things. No need to track me, to present ads to me.
