  1. Re:Go Apple! on Safari Passes the Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can't compile WebKit. WebKit is a Objective-C interface to WebCore and JavaScriptCore, which are the open-source pieces. WebKit, unfortunately, is not open-sourced

  2. Industrial Schredder would work on Secure Hard Drive Deletion Appliance? · · Score: 1

    This industrial shredder can shred couches, refridgerators, or computers. It could probably erase your hard drive!

  3. Re:Austinite to check it out... on iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics · · Score: 1

    It's also the address of Armadillo Software Corporation (www.dillo.com).

  4. Re:#101: See the shock wave on an airplane wing on Things To Do Before You Die · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you sit over the wing, won't you get blown off?

  5. Blogger taking pictures of MS loading dock. on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now we know the real reason the blogger got fired for taking pictures of the Microsoft loading dock. The G5 computers were for the XBox team! No doubt that the XBox team is using Mac G5s to create a development environment. I wonder if it is based on XCode? XCode for XBox. I like the sound of that.

  6. Re:I love it. on Review of iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    I think they should rename it 'iCrack'.

  7. Re:No -- think it through on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 1

    The article says nothing about "limiting children" to the kids.us domain. There is nothing in the bill that creates the domain that requires children to be restricted to this domain. It is only a tool that parents can use in conjunction with filtering software. Currently, it is difficult to allow young children access to the internet because current filtering software is never good enough because it's too large of a sandbox to play in and therefore screen. Having a smaller sandbox will make it possible to allow younger children access.

    And yes, it is possible for my kids to go to their friends, but I try to know what happens there as well. (note the word "try"). It may not be possible to completely limit kids' access, but having a few walls is better than having free and open access.

  8. writing books for dummies on GNU/Linux For Dummies: A Brief Survey · · Score: 1

    I always wanted to write "The Idiot's Guide to Writing Books for Dummies"

  9. Re:Don't port. Write. You'll learn something. on Why Port from UNIX to OS X? · · Score: 1

    The Objective-C NextStep stuff is now called Cocoa (it was the yellow box). You can also now use Java with these APIs as well.

  10. Re:[Mostly OFFTOPIC] Which reminds me on Where Can I Get Free, Read/Post Usenet Access? · · Score: 1

    For the Mac, it's hard to beat MT-Newswatcher http://www.best.com/~smfr/mtnw/. Real fast, multi-threaded, and good filtering capabilities.

  11. Maybe SA switched off to improve WAAS? on GPS Civilian Signal Degradation Turned Off · · Score: 1

    I read in one of the AOPA's (pilot's organization) that the FAA was having difficulty implementing WAAS which is wide area augmentation service for GPS. It is sort of a instrument landing system using GPS but GPS needed to be augmented near the airports because of SA. Perhaps this helps clean up the WAAS implementation?
