  1. Re:about time on Gulf Oil Leak Plugged? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There is an insane amount of engineering that had to go into this. Getting it wrong would have been an even bigger disaster.

    For some excellent discussions on all of this, head over to http://theoildrum.com/

    That's correct. It's not around, it's arectangle.

  5. Acid on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Still only a 93% on acid3. Better, but not good enough.

  6. Re:Color me unsurprised on Verified Identity Pass Shuts Down "Clear" Operations · · Score: 4, Funny

    How about not having to get to the airport -- what is it now, 36 hours? -- before your flight?

    Sitting down at the gate and waiting is quite a bit different than waiting in line with all the cows that have never been to the airport.

  7. Easier! on Google's "Wave" Blurs Chat, Email, Collaboration Software · · Score: 1

    Great, nothing like a good wave to help get some height.  Should make it considerably easier to jump the shark with.

    More than likely you are now wise enough to know that you don't know everything.

  11. Re:I guess... on Study Shows Worm Grunters Imitate Moles · · Score: 5, Funny

    Less noise than a Thumper, smaller worms than Arrakis. Lame.

  13. Relativity on Real-World Firefox 3 Memory Usage Leads the Field · · Score: 1

    Acid3 test scores:

    Firefox 3: 71/100
    Safari 4 dev preview: 100/100

    RAM usage, standards compliance, open source; all of these are variables we have to consider. Test scores as mentioned above are meaningless unless taken in view of the entire experience provided by a browser.

    Some of us prefer to eschew the mainstream, some embrace it.

    Pick your poison and encourage our freedom of choice, but do not pretend that what works for you is the right choice for all.

  14. Oh boy... on Stupid Hacker Tricks - The Folly of Youth · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    108 Mbit/s is the max usable upload speed based on the DOCSIS 3 standard.

  19. Slick! on Comcast Promising Ultra-Fast Internet · · Score: 4, Informative

    Speeds as listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS#Speed_Table are rather impressive. Max usable down and up speeds are 152/108 Mbit/s, respectively.

    Hopefully they'll roll this out with an affordable pricing plan; they already announced that they'll be raising prices in February.
