  1. I could really use proper CSS3 multicolumn support on Looking At Google's Flashified Chrome · · Score: 1

    So much flakiness in the WebKit support of CSS multi-column layout... don't even know where to begin. Firefox is much farther ahead in this case.

    Eventually DIVs are going to have to go away completely, so that all HTML is semantic.

  2. Start the Reactor!! on NASA Mars Rover Spots Its Ultimate Destination · · Score: 2, Funny

    FREE MARS!

  3. Now if only they would change their policy on Bad PR Forces Apple To Reconsider Banning Mark Fiore's App · · Score: 4, Insightful

    so that any publisher could submit apps without Apple's editorializing.

    It would be nice if more publishers were allowed onto the app store, instead of only Pulitzer-prize winners.

  4. Re:Color me not impressed on Obama Outlines Bold Space Policy ... But No Moon · · Score: 1

    You're going to need a lot more than 75 tons for humans to make the 5 year trip to mars and back.

    Try maybe 2000-5000 tons.

  5. Re:Most important: restriction on app development on iPhone OS 4.0 Brings Multitasking, Ad Framework For Apps · · Score: 1

    No one's NOT doubting Apple's openness.

    The question is, if their closed system is good or bad.

    I say it's good... their system helps keeps out crap developers.

  6. hmm.. on Science Attempts To Explain Heaven · · Score: 1

    Now we know what Michael Hutchence was going for.

  7. Could use an update to HTTP protocol as well on What To Expect From HTML5 · · Score: 1

    It would go great with a compressed standard for transport stream, such as what Opera does with its mobile for Turbo speeds.

    Standard encryption would also be appreciated.

  8. Loving tethering on Tethering Is Exhilarating (With the Nexus One) · · Score: 1

    Droid tethering with PDAnet and MacBook Pro on Verizon network works great. Speed is actually better than my work DSL!

  9. The point of Capitalism on Google's Experimental Fiber Network · · Score: 1, Informative

    is to reach a monopoly status.

    Capitalism only works when there are millions of sellers and millions of buyers.. it is the LEAST profitable system when that happens. When competition happens, suppliers go out of business, because there is no incentive for buyers to buy a more expensive product. Once THAT process is complete, monopoly conditions exist, and prices become out-of-control.

    Capitalism is a process, not an end result.

  10. Big deal.. on Physicists Discover How To Teleport Energy · · Score: 1

    I can teleport energy through a "power cable".

  11. Re:Oh they support tinkering on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 1

    It's mutually exclusive because open development prevents control.

    Be glad Apple maintains such controls that prevents developers from doing stupid things that only a programmer would appreciate.

    If we allowed open development, it would make the system much worse. Imagine if your documents had to open every new file standard, for example, or if the app store had no quality checks.

  12. Re:Oh they support tinkering on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 1

    Apple didn't make the Valley girl. They made the computer they could use.

    One shouldn't have to publish a graduate thesis to make use of a computer.

    The world doesn't revolve around computers.

  13. Oh they support tinkering on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They just separate that audience and give them OS X. Let them play with the iPad through the SDK on it, instead of on the iPad itself.

    iPads are meant for people that DON'T care about computers, but about real world activity.

    It's something hackers could learn from Apple: how to make a massively technical device usable.

  14. Re:Yes on Colliding Particles Can Make Black Holes After All · · Score: 1

    The particles with this energy didn't pass through you, but some of the decay particles with far less energy might have.

  15. Re:The Matrix and Highlander on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nothing was bad about them.. just some morons that didn't get the series.

    Matrix was an okay movie, but it really needed Reloaded and Revolution to be a complete story. Each sequel made the whole story better and better, completing it.

  16. Something is wrong with the algorithm.. on Google Apologizes For "Michelle Obama" Results · · Score: 0, Troll

    .. if that's what it thinks people WANTS to see when searching for Michelle Obama.

    Redesign your algorithm please to be more useful.

  17. No. on Web Open Font Format Gets Backing From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    No one longs for those days.

  18. Re:Until... on Ultracapacitor Bus Recharges At Each Stop · · Score: 1

    the lawsuit mentioned on the blog did not prevent development of NiMH batteries as claimed. it restricted sales in north america only and only till 2007 or 2010.

    Thanks. That's exactly what we needed to know.

  19. Re:Until... on Ultracapacitor Bus Recharges At Each Stop · · Score: 4, Informative

    He won, because you didn't refute the points in his link, but instead gone into a whiny wharrgrbl mode that losers usually do.

    Now, its your turn to prove that energy companies don't hold back technological progress to save their oil business.

    Otherwise, the other guy is beating you.

  20. Sure! Do it! on Barack Obama Wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    ..except you don't want to.

    THAT'S why you won't get the prize.

  21. For being the opposite of Bush on Barack Obama Wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This win was more a rebuke to the conservatives than anything else.

  22. 128 Bit Architecture = cloud computing on Microsoft Leaks Details of 128-bit Windows 8 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Shared memory space among lots of computers, using IP (possibly IPv6) as a protocol.

    That's probably what they are referring to if they mean 128 bit address space (not datapath).

  23. Started using Interspire Website Publisher on Joomla! 1.5: A User's Guide, 2nd Edition · · Score: 1

    Check it out at: http://www.interspire.com/websitepublisher/

    I went through an eval of Joomla. Definitely not well documented and rather difficult to use.

    I went with InterSpire's Website Publisher instead. It costs $400-$500, but the documentation is much more detailed and overall much easier to use than Joomla. I like the fact that its templates are an actual HTML file that you can edit by example, instead of the PHP/HTML coding you need to do for Joomla. It seems to be based on the same open PHP/MySQL structure as Joomla, so a Joomla user should be somewhat familiar with its operation. Its missing Joomlas many features extension modules, though. You'd have to hard hack Interspire's MySQL database to get back some of that real functionality. For example, you can have public account logins with Joomla, but not with InterSpire.

  24. Re:Keith? on Whistleblower Claims NSA Spied On Everyone, Targeted Media · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why go to a non-partisan source? They aren't any less trustworthy than a biased source. In fact, I'd take this story to the most extreme liberal, since they're going to be the ones to attack at the story's discovery the hardest.

  25. Least of the problems on HP Accused of Illegal Exportation To Iran · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The US killed 2 million Vietnamese people because they couldn't stand the idea of farmers having price controls on their crops.
