  1. Re:But did they fix the real bug? on Apple Fixes Safari "Carpet Bomb" Windows Vulnerability · · Score: 3, Informative

    New (released more than one month ago) Apple Software Update has two sections. One for updates and other for new software. Last I checked the "new" software was still checked by default - and I really don't feel like installing anything that ASU comes with right now. So does anyone know if they finally fix THAT idiocy?

    np: Seabear - Sailors Blue (The Ghost That Carried Us Away)

  2. Netcraft confirms it... on Mozilla Outage On Firefox 3 Record Launch Day · · Score: 0

    Mozilla.com is dying. (Under the record load, that is...)

  3. Quoth the download page... on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    "The Best Firefox Yet

    With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than ever before.

    Ummm... is it just me, or does that download link seem eerily familiar? :/

    np: Anthony Rother - Girl Construction (My Name Is Beuys Von Telekraft)

  4. Yay for Amazon.com! on Denon's $499 Ethernet Cable · · Score: 2, Informative

    Even Amazon.com sells them - that means it can only be good, right?

    Right?

    Now that's just epic fail on your part...

    At least try and get your internet memes sorted out... kthxbye.

    The most shocking part of his sentence actually was the big GRAMMAR FAIL...

    Well, the Customizer's keys are easy to pop off as well... haven't you RTFA?

    *looks at site URL*

    Of course you haven't - what was I dr^wthinking?

    As for the superfluous Windows keys - they've got that covered, too...

    (Typing this on an PS/2 IBM keyboard that says it was manufactured somewhere in 98... still nice...)

    np: Autechre - Tkakanren (Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae)

  9. Re:"Awesome" Bar on Mozilla Dev Team On Firefox's Success · · Score: 1

    Setting the preference to 0 effectively disables the Location Bar dropdown entirely. I don't think removing the dropdown alltogether is what everyone is looking for...

    np: Lali Puna - 6-0-3 (Tridecoder)

    Nah, at least one got fused into "Deuterium"... sounds like that cold fusion thingamabob does word after all...

    Oh well...

  16. Re:Close to comic on The Science of Iron Man · · Score: 1

    My question is, if it's not released yet how is it a blockbuster? Are we talking "Incredible Hulk" blockbuster or "Spiderman" blockbuster? Used to be a movie had to earn that title. Ummm... how can it be "not released" if it opened here in Austria yesterday?

    It's a great movie, by the way. And a lot of fun at the same time.

    np: Justus Köhncke - The Answer Is Yes (Doppelleben)
  17. Re:I love Uwe on Blizzard to Boll - DENIED! · · Score: 1

    That's because you've never seen After Dark. I've never so badly wanted a movie unmade save for House of a Thousand Corpses by Rob Zombie. So he's moved from video game adaptions to screensaver adaptions now?

    Figures...

    np: Autechre - Coenc3 (45Tribute)
  18. Re:Battle Angel on Dreamworks Acquires Rights for Ghost in the Shell · · Score: 1

    battle angel is a pretty bad example considering there are only 2 episodes While there were only 2 animated episodes, I believe there were 9 manga novels which could easily have been expanded into a full-length series. Or as Cameron plans to do if the movie ever gets made and is successful (since it's supposedly based on the first 3 graphic novels), make another 2 full-length movies to complete the storyline. Well, Kishiro disliked the way those 2 episodes came out and didn't agree for them to make more, so that was the end of it - Cameron had nothing to do with that...

    Also, Kishiro's still working on the sequel to, I mean revised ending of, or should we call it continuation of Gunnm: Last Order - 10 books and counting.

    np: Lou Rhodes - Never Loved A Man (Like You) (Bloom)
  19. Re:No, you don't get it. on Cisco Turns Routers Into Linux App Servers · · Score: 2, Informative

    For $80, you get a pretty full-featured Linux system.
    According to the Wikipedia entery you quote, its status is "Discontinued - no longer shipping."

    Is this correct? Is there a followon to replace it? That must be the page for the V1 model, since the NSLU2 is alive and well on LinkSys' product pages.

    np: Underworld - Spikee (Underworld 1992-2002 (Disc 1))

  20. Re:LOLOL pwned! on Fingerprint-Protected USB Sticks Cracked · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Thanks once again, Slashdot, for making it possible for me to project the impression that I'm doing my job. ^_^ Shouldn't you be thanking Heise instead?

    Just saying...

    np: Pole - Achterbahn (Shackleton Remix) (Steingarten Remixes)

    Gamepads that don't suck? Available here. Exactly the same hardware that ships with the XBox 360, plus a driver CD. If you already have said controller, just download the drivers there or hit Windows Update when you attach the controller...

    Multiple controllers that plug into one PC for local multiplayer gaming without having to buy four computers? As if that were a problem with the hardware - you can attach as many USB controllers as you want, it's the games that'd have to support them.

  23. Re:VGA for projectors, and it's not a PS/2 Port on Acer Ferrari 1100, One Large Disappointment · · Score: 1

    having VGA out seems to be smarter than DVI, most projectors and screens that support DVI has a VGA input also, so going with VGA should target a broader audience. There's this thing called a DVI-I connector that gives you both, so why cripple anything with an analog-out-only port these days?

    np: The Orb - DDD (Dirty Disco Dub) (The Dream)
  24. Re:"Oh look, a mote in Microsoft's eye" on Vista SP1 Is Even Less Compatible · · Score: 1

    Now, finding the "reply" button sometimes seems like an impossibility (I don't
    know why, but sometimes the slidebar seems to vanish, taking away the ability
    to start a reply), but a reload usually fixes that. Uh, actually there's a "Reply" *link* at the very bottom of the comments page for an article... so if you're missing the control bar simply scroll all the way down...

    np: All - Sag Alles Ab (Pop Ambient 2008)
  25. Re:Please please please be a trend on Blizzard Patches No-CD Support Into Warcraft III · · Score: 1

    The CD check is still very much in place with UT3 (as well as CoD4). So you "found" a leaked beta of the second patch for UT3, now with added copy protection?

    The game as it is installed off the DVD it came on only wants to know it's serial number, once...

    np: Blamstrain - Climate Control (Exosphere)
