  1. Re:Al Jazeera live from Libya on Libya SIGINT Jamming Satellites, Towers · · Score: 1

    Nope. I'm sure it was tuxpainted, it's too obvious that it's fake.

  2. CHANGELOG on Mac OS X 10.7 'Lion' Developer Preview Available · · Score: 1

    I have to say this is the cutest changelog I ever seen. The wiki server keeps being one of my favorites.

  3. Don't Panic! on Iran Claims Two New Supercomputers · · Score: 1

    I saw the pics and they're running Windows 7

  4. Re:Another M$ "partnership" bites the dust on Microsoft and Nvidia Abandon PC Gaming Alliance · · Score: 1

    Sure. And now NVIDIA is dead

  5. Re:Why are they writing their own drivers? on German Foreign Office Going Back To Windows · · Score: 1

    Probably, but I guess they have a lot of legacy equipment which is no longer manufactured and the vendors find pointless to make drivers for them. On the other hand, I think that it was naive to think that they could make the drivers by themselves. I don't know the scenario, but I'll take my chances when I say that they should have kept Windows boxes to handle the equipment and focused in figuring out a way to share those resources with the rest of the users.

  6. Re:nips in the vid on First Alpha of Qt For Android Released · · Score: 1

    Showing that background was pointless, and now all articles pointing to the YouTube video have a broken link. Well done, Bogdan.

  7. Re:Some images on The Legend of Zelda Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    I liked the 4th!

  8. Re:Please on LotR Rewritten From a Mordor Perspective · · Score: 1

    That would be something like: "Most prominent gay community members joined in a R&D crusade to make human's skin shinny and healthy while group of troglodytes can't stand their beauty and begin to hunt them down". OK, Victoria is not involved but I couldn't resist.

  9. Re:it's coming... on New Android Malware Robs Bandwidth For Fake Searches · · Score: 1

    But it's OK. They say its product is "Fast, light, and easy-to-use to use", so that must be true.

  10. Re:it's coming... on New Android Malware Robs Bandwidth For Fake Searches · · Score: 1

    That would be great compared to the possibility to have Norton for Android. It gives me goosebumps just to think about it.

  11. Re:Flash: The iceberg melting on As HTML5 Gets 2014 Final Date, Flash Floods Mobile · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that would be great. Javascript + SVG is a winner combination to replace Flash, but [most of] graphical designers won't want to know anything about coding, the "IDE" is the key.

  12. Re:Flash: The iceberg melting on As HTML5 Gets 2014 Final Date, Flash Floods Mobile · · Score: 1

    PDF? It's an ISO standard, and according to Wikipedia "Adobe holds patents to PDF, but licenses them for royalty-free use in developing software complying with its PDF specification". I don't know how that can make a competitive advantage for Adobe. Like I said in the first post Photoshop and the design suite are their "only" valuable asset (note the quotes). Without Flash they won't be game changers anymore.

  13. Re:Hmmm on Common Traits of the Veteran Unix Admin · · Score: 1

    Or post it in Facebook hoping that some of them hit the "like" button

  14. Flash: The iceberg melting on As HTML5 Gets 2014 Final Date, Flash Floods Mobile · · Score: 1

    I don't think the smile on the Adobe's face lasts too much. They better reinvent themselves, because Photoshop & Co aside they don't have too many things to support their position (not that they're not good products, but it's just not enough to stand the way Adobe does now).

  15. Lame on FBI Releases File On the Anarchist Cookbook · · Score: 1

    I wanted to learn how to make Napalm from human fat and all I find is a bunch of letters signed by Edgard Hoover :(

  16. Simple on File Organization — How Do You Do It In 2011? · · Score: 1

    docs, img, programs, code, music + grep + find. Definitively everything had become very easy since I don't watch porn anymore.

  17. Re:Rest in piece, Nokia on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 1

    I don't think Nokia dies. My crystal ball says they're going to live from a modest market share in the mid-end until they come up with something bright (which may or may not happen). Too bad for the Finnish, they were cool (not to make a party with them but 'cool' in the geek sense of the word).

  18. Re:Rest in piece, hacker friendly mobile future on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 1

    All they needed to do was either bring Symbian into the 21st century or provide a suitable alternative and they couldn't manage that

    In real business "All I need" is actually more complicated than it seems. Symbian was a trap. Its API was a mess, it had no future. They tried to do the things right making QT the base for all coming software no matter what platform was the target. IMHO they should have put money to develop "enterprise" class applications just like Google is doing in order to turn the platform (Maemo/MeeGo) attractive to users and developers. But now it's clear why they hired an ex-Microsoft.

  19. Re:Only applies to 'unnecessary' personal informat on Court Says California Stores Can't Ask Customers For ZIP Codes · · Score: 1

    Except for those countries where zip codes are not widely used. This could apply for local [US] purchases.

  20. Re:US Thinks Saudi Oil Reserves May Be Overstated on Leaked Cables Reveal US Thinks Saudi Oil Reserves May Be Overstated · · Score: 1

    Question is who doesn't think so?

    The Saudi Arabs, of course. That's why they keep squandering industrial amounts of dollars.

  21. Re:Do NOT try this on Java Floating Point Bug Can Lock Up Servers · · Score: 1

    +1 Funny. But apparently you can install it

  22. Re:So what if they've known about it for 10 years? on Java Floating Point Bug Can Lock Up Servers · · Score: 1

    Priority is often calculated from two variables: impact and likelihood. I guess they weren't so wrong about the latter. In any case they screwed it badly.

  23. Re:Bullshit! on Java Floating Point Bug Can Lock Up Servers · · Score: 1

    HTML programmer

    That's the actual joke

  24. Re:WHAT?! on Sony Lawyers Expand Dragnet, Targeting Anybody Posting PS3 Hack · · Score: 1
    Yep. That's what the article says:

    the company is demanding that a federal judge order Google to surrender the IP addresses and other identifying information (.pdf) of those who have viewed or commented about the jailbreak video on a private YouTube page

    The claim is, of course, stupid. But they're using the legal channels

  25. Re:Might as well get in on the action on Sony Lawyers Expand Dragnet, Targeting Anybody Posting PS3 Hack · · Score: 2

    Actually, they're trying to get to those who published the jailbreak video or detailed information on the hack.
