  1. Only 3D on Linux Support Fades For 3Dfx Voodoo, Rage 128, VIA · · Score: 5, Informative

    Xorg support for these cards isn't going away anytime soon though.

  2. Re:A few reasons G+ can't replace FB yet on Facebook Says That Google+ Has No Users · · Score: 1

    I suspect they plan to integrate things like Google Groups and gCal into G+, but just haven't gotten to it yet.

  3. Re:It's a feature on Facebook Says That Google+ Has No Users · · Score: 1

    They already did and they don't.

  4. Re:Nice on Fossil 'Suggests Plesiosaurs Did Not Lay Eggs' · · Score: 1

    No more Science, but plenty of science available in PLoS ONE or similar...

    >huna genome

    what's a huna? Is it anything like tuna?

  6. Re:Please provide native support of PDF for OS X. on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    Does Evince even support Javascript? Of course there could be attacks on the engine itself, but why target Cairo when you could target GDI or something. Plus that's just harder than attacking via JS.

  7. Re:Switch to a Webkit based browser? on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    >And you think Firefox is an example of a "good browser"?
    It's alright I guess. Mozilla is far better, especially as FF get more like chrome.

  8. Re:Please provide native support of PDF for OS X. on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    PDF in the browser is a sin.

  9. Re:Eh? on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    Yeah, despite being largely neglected, both Mozilla and FF are better on Linux than Windows.

  10. Re:Eh? on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 2

    >I thought I had been running a 64bit Firefox for years.
    I know I have. First third party SeaMonkey builds, then the SeaMonkey Nightlies got 64 bit options, and I went to that.

  11. Re:Switch to a Webkit based browser? on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 2

    Webkit is a fine engine. Too bad no one is interested in using it to make a good browser.

  12. Re:ah... on Adobe Released 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Debian is in the right and MoFo is wrong on that whole issue, but that doesn't keep me from using the mozilla.org versions of FF and SM. IW et al are too many version behind, and they never have betas or nightlies.

  13. Re:Not dead yet! on New "Last Dinosaur" Find Backs Asteroid Extinction · · Score: 1

    You could make a better case for a dinosaur being an alligator than vice versa. Your post would work a lot better if you cited your pet parakeet.

  14. Re:What? Is he saying that Diaspora isn't a succes on How Google+ Measures Up On Privacy · · Score: 1

    Diaspora had the right idea, but at no point did it ever look like a well done implementation to me....

  15. Re:Great... yet another version of Firefox to supp on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 1

    You are doing something wrong on your website. Rendering differences, aside from new parts of html5 that have been added, should be pretty minimal between 3.6 and 5.

  16. Re:How about compared to 3.6? on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 1

    5 is faster than 3.6

  17. Re:Google+, the social network you cannot join! on Google To Rebrand Blogger & Picasa For Google+ Integration · · Score: 2

    I have a sneaking suspicion that under the covers at least some of the tech is wave-derived. Well, the video hangout at least is almost certainly some form of XMPP MUC with Jingle

  18. Re:Google+, the social network you cannot join! on Google To Rebrand Blogger & Picasa For Google+ Integration · · Score: 1

    That is how you do it, for sure, but as the other comments here indicate, there is still limited capacity even then. I got a linked by a friend from FB, but it was a few hours before I got in. I think the number being allowed in at a time is just very small, so you just have to hit it at the right moment after they allow a new batch, but before it runs out.

  19. Fusion thrusters on Fusion Thrusters For Space Travel · · Score: 1

    Fusion thrusters means we will be ready when we meet the Kzinti for the first time

  20. Re:The phone I've been wating for . . on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone · · Score: 1

    So I see, further down in the comments. UI... eh, I am not too worried. It's the Debianish guts I am after.

  21. Re:Is it even a phone? on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone · · Score: 1

    >I hope it performs better as a phone than my WM6.5 device. My caller ID doesn't even function while the screen is locked.

    Well, Caller ID works fine for me on the N900, so I would guess it should be fine for that at least.

  22. Re:MeeGo on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone · · Score: 1

    Oh wow, it's Maemo?! Dammit, I thought the N9 was going to be Meego, and then I thought is was canceled because of the WinPhone crap. I might not have bought the N900 a few months ago if I had known about this.

  23. Re:The phone I've been wating for . . on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone · · Score: 1

    I care. Well, I would have cared if I hadn't just got a secondhand N900 because I thought the N9 was canceled, and if I knew I could remove Meego and put on Maemo.

  24. Re:Windows is nothing if not backward-compatible on After 7 Years, MyDoom Worm Is Still Spreading · · Score: 1

    >Services like yousendit.com

    Please don't encourage those assholes. The spread of services that make their name include their TDL and come up with the rest of their name by describing what they do is one of the most irritating computer-related trends to come along in recent year. It might not be quite as bad if users didn't fall for it - "gotomypc.com? They can do that now? I'll try it, sounds useful!"

  25. Re:What??? on Wii U Faster Than 360 Or PS3, No Blu-ray Or DVD Support · · Score: 1

    Because you can't use something from 5 minutes ago in some that has a 10 minute design lead time?
