  1. Re:WTF on Netscape 6 Fails To Support Web Standards · · Score: 1
    Ok.....

    MS creates VB, MS creates IE, MS adds VB support into IE (obviously), slashdot poster complain about IE supporting VB and how web developers like using it because it allows them to control their web site. Granted VB isn't secure, so you have the option NOT to install it when you install IE.

    Where's the problem here? If you don't like VB support in IE you have two options, don't install IE or don't install VB scripting support.

    where do you guys get off complaining about VB support in IE? Microsoft isn't the evile empire everyone thinks it is, and god forbid they actually have a decent product.

    so your complaining about web developers using VB script and the fact the the MS web site uses something they created?

    not only that, your complaining that IE5 supports it but gives you the option to NOT install support for VB? wow.......

  3. Re:IPv6 on Quova Inc. Completes Trace of 4 billion IP Addresses · · Score: 1
    MAC is Ethernet, but IPv6 will read your MAC and calculate your IP using it so you have a unique address (you could effectively reverse the process and find someone's MAC from their IPv6 address). On top of this, you wont need to trace all the IP's from IPv6 because the packets hold onto the routing, this is a new "security" feature in v6.

  7. Re:salvage? on Mir To Crash Into Pacific · · Score: 1
    but with all the technology around, they would be able to create adapters (same way we have adapters for US to UK voltage, etc...), probably save millions by sending up adapters and refurbishing equipment.

    MIRcorp should donate the station to be salvaged for the new one.

  8. salvage? on Mir To Crash Into Pacific · · Score: 1
    why not salvage the parts and use them for the new space station? wouldn't this be a good source of material and parts?

    seems like a waste to me, instead of splashing it they could dismantle and use the solar panels/fuel tanks/filtration units for the new station!

    never mind the fungus, they could jettison the fungus infected metals

  9. Re:PC Consoles on Bootable Game CDROMs Using Linux · · Score: 1
    why not create it so it searches a default folder for an update file (game patches, hardware update/add on), that way you can download the latest add-on/update and keep the game compatible with your latest hardware.

    this is a great idea because it would free up system resources so games could take advantage of them, very cool.
