  1. Re:Google has lost it... on Google Logo Changes Again, Hinting RT Search? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To be fair, the pacman game would autostart after like 30 seconds and it would default to having sound on. So if you open up Google in another tab like I usually do you were forced to listen to the pacman game until you closed the tab or muted it. And yesterday's ball doodle was fairly jarring to look at because as soon as you opened the page the balls were flying all over the place. It would have been nicer if they started at their rest position spelling out Google and would only fly around when you use the mouse. But instead they started out in motion.

  2. Re:SWF is an open format on Mozilla Labs To Promote Open Web Gaming · · Score: 1

    I'm haven't looked at the spec myself, but I remember hearing that the main Gnash developer didn't find anything in the spec particularly useful. They had everything in the released spec figured out before it was released, and Gnash still doesn't fully support SWF 9 and 10. So I'm led to believe that Adobe's documentation is pretty sparse.

  3. Heres to hoping for future G1 support on Android Fork Brings Froyo To 12 Smartphones · · Score: 1

    In the CyanogenMod forums there was a pinned thread saying that Froyo wasn't meant to support the G1 (HTC Dream), but Cyanogen got it to work. Since they made it sound like a big achievement, I kind of suspect future versions won't support the G1; 3.0 especially. But I really hope they do get it working. Either way, I'm really happy with CM6 on my G1.

  4. Re:Kinda Free on No More Need To Reboot Fedora w/ Ksplice · · Score: 1

    Because the majority of people who use Ubuntu and Fedora aren't using them to run mission critical servers, and therefore they have no real use for the service anyway. Ksplice may be letting these users in for free so they can show the admins who are running an Enterprise server some data on how well their service works.

  5. Re:Android less secure? on Your Smartphone Is Safer Than Your PC — For Now · · Score: 2

    Ah yes, the old security by obscurity argument. If these "hackers" were worth their salt they'd be doing something a bit more sophisticated about exploiting Linux servers than slamming them with botnets with DDOS/brute force attacks.

  6. Confused on Prosecutor Loses Case For Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Didn't read the TFA since this is Slashdot and all, but based on the summary how did the defendant know Wikipedia was their source? It just sounds like the defendant looked at the Wikipedia article and decided it was similar to what the prosecutor said.
