  1. Evil Plans on Oracle's Plans for Java Unveiled at JavaOne · · Score: 1

    Whenever I read "Oracle" and "Plans" I always assume they are evil plans. They have yet to disappoint me.

  2. I, for one, welcome our new orange overlords! on Orange Goo Invades Alaskan Village · · Score: 1

    I hope they show mercy :)

  3. Where's the distinction between Flash and e-books? on Kongregate App Pulled From Android Market · · Score: 2

    How do you make the distinction of online content, like e-books, flash games, podcasts? All are "online content", yet reader applications are allowed to go online to fetch the content (or even sell it). In my honest opinion, the only rule should be to exclude competing "Android markets", not content providers.

  4. How is this different from ClamWin? on ClamAV For Windows Open Beta Begins · · Score: 2

    I've been using ClamWin (http://www.clamwin.com) for years without any problems. Does anyone know the difference?

  5. Tuxracer, here I come! on First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created · · Score: 2

    Tuxracer, here I come!

  6. Redirect ongoing lecture guests to... on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    If it was me, I would put up a special access point in all lecture halls. Then I would make it so that when (according to the schedules) a lecture is ongoing - any clients from these access points would get redirected to a landing page: "You are browsing during a lecture, we would appreciate if you would wait until after the lecture.". Then optionally offer grace periods or ignore options.

  7. Death by Powerpoint on People With University Degree Fear Death Less · · Score: 1

    Those who have experienced the torture of Powerpoint in lecture halls - welcome death!

  8. How long can they keep beating a dead horse? on Star Wars Films In 3D Due In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Don't get me wrong. I like Star Wars and I think George Lucas did a great job, back in the day with the originals. I'm just sick of seeing the "Star Wars" brand exploited again, and again.

  9. Desperate attempt... on In EU, Google Accused of YouTube "Free Ride" · · Score: 1

    If you look at the other pole, users in these areas are getting 'free content' instead of paying for it. What about those profiting directly from Internet users? Commercial streaming services, premium usenet providers. This is just a desperate attempt by telecommunication companies to remain relevant.

  10. Supports Linux on Heroes of Newerth Open Beta About To Start · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been playing the beta for a few months on my 64-bit Linux platform that usually gets shafted by game developers. If you liked DotA Allstars on W3x, you will like Heroes of Newerth. Those who played the classic DotA will find this "flashy" and imbalanced, fun though. I also encourage Linux gamers to support those few independent game developers that do support our platform by buying the game.

  11. Centos on Oracle/Sun Enforces Pay-For-Security-Updates Plan · · Score: 1

    Actually, people DID cry about it and as all of the source was available, those wonderful persons behind Centos took the RHEL source and packaged it themselves. I am not sure how much of the Solaris code is available for repackaging, but maybe someone will do the same for Solaris.

  12. The Internet is a dangerous place... on Germany Warns Against Using Firefox · · Score: 1

    The Germans are absolutely right to caution against using various browsers - unplugging is probably safest, though.

  13. Public security research is not a threat on Chinese Researcher Says US Power Grid Is Vulnerable, Strategist Overreacts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Public security research is not a threat. Vulnerable infrastructures that go unchecked are. The trend is to penalize security researchers for publishing their findings will only increase underground security research that will then just be sold to the highest bidder.

  14. Wonder if Linux is next on Valve Confirms Mac Versions of Steam, Valve Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Would be nice if they decided to release it for Linux as well, even though it might be a "tier-2" platform to them.
