  1. 12 hours battery-life on Asus Promises 12-Hour Battery Life In New High-End Laptop · · Score: 1

    "Asus Promises 12 Hour Battery Life In New High-End Laptop"

    did the forgot to mention "with display off"?

  2. Re:Pretty much anything from linkedin is spam. on Fake "Bill Gates" Message Dupes Top Tools · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Linkedin instantly went into my mailservers blacklist. They're just fucking spammers.

    Don't be silly. It's looks a sort of bug in LinkedIn - they aparently do not remove pending requests from user's queue even the request sender was reported by that user as a spammer. Simple as that.

  3. I am not impressed on Screen With 180 Degree Field of View · · Score: 1

    $200 bucks does not really looks doable unless they go for "projector not included". Plus you may like to play in stand-up position. Not to mention you shall also like projector's fan "background noise" and have some space to set all this thing up... Is it just me or 50" plasma still may deliver better in the long run?

  4. "F"-release... on Ubuntu Dev Summit Lays Out Plans For Hardy Heron · · Score: 0

    Well, I can't wait to see what the "F" release be named after ;)

  5. Re:I will probably use it. on Google Rolls Out Online Storage Services · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It still may go faster to just burn these data on DVD and send it using DHL/USPS than first waste hours uploading such amount of data and then getting it back.

  6. Pipe on Google Rolls Out Online Storage Services · · Score: 1

    And what about the bandwidth?

  7. TrueCrypt instead? on Protected Memory Stick Easily Cracked · · Score: 1

    It's great to be grown up and still believe that in security aspects "unique technology" buzz does not simply smell bad. Real crypto is widely known. All can read how it works. But it still remains solid. Before you get hired by "European governments", ensure you won't get fooled. Ordinary USB stick and real, free crypto tools as TrueCrypt - that's what you shall consider using, instead of paying almost $200 for "unique technology".

  8. Unlimited budget on The Amazon Technology Platform · · Score: 4, Funny

    Having unlimited development budget is definitely THE good thing I sometimes miss myself ;)

  9. Re:You are already screwed on How Palm's Treo Got Boost From BlackBerry Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I'd not bet a penny for Cobalt. It's mostly dead before it was born. No device uses Cobalt nor it's know there's any licensee. No apps is being developed for Cobalt. Even Palm related engineers say od dev forum to not care Cobalt. It might however appear that Access' Linux based OS will be Garnet successor though.

  10. Re:good news everybody! on The Bender PC Case · · Score: 1

    "good news everyone", to be exact ;)

  11. Re:Nero ALREADY runs on linux on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 1

    Try k3b http://www.k3b.org/ and stop moaning. In case you got problems with k3b and still think you lack your "zealot hacker" skills to burn a CD, I think you got more problems using computers than just burning.

  12. Compared to Cryptonomicon? on Digital Fortress · · Score: 1

    Anyone can compare this book to Cryptonomicon (assuming s/he read both ;)? I mostly enjoyed Stephenson stuff (and can warmly recommend if you haven't read that yet) and look for something of that kind. However, as someone else spotted, being a geek it's quite hard to stand book or movie if its author exposes his technical ignorancy. Anyone can elaborate how this one could fit my tastes or maybe recommend some other author readings fitting?

  13. Re:We need an OpenOffice file format plugin for Wo on Microsoft Patenting Office XML Formats · · Score: 1

    No, it's not fully human undestandable XML. OOo uses binary XML sometimes which ain't that clear for humans.

  14. They're watching use even on xmas ;) on X10 Xmas Light Control with Pan and Zoom · · Score: 1

    Has anyone noticed small oval shape above the house's chimney? Seems one got a good time with image processing software ;)
