  1. Re:Ok- I'll bite... on Google Changes Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    Read The Full Privacy Policy

  2. Re:Is it just me? on Bollywood New Releases Available via Video-On-Demand · · Score: 1

    It won't defeat piracy. However, they might get some people who currently pirate to buy the online version.

  3. WikiMail on Microsoft Looks At Integrating Forums and E-mail · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd like to see some sort of Wiki integration with email. It would allow me to edit the message. After saving the changes could go to all the recipients and original sender and they could see the updated version.

  4. I posted this ... on Star Wars Action Figures · · Score: 1, Funny

    6 to 8 weeks ago ... it seemed like forever :)

  5. Re:Assuming it's true, good for them! on Spammer Sues List Broker · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a storty that I once read. There were "advertising zones" on the sidewalk. If you walked into one of these, you were immediately addicted to the product. It was legal because the zones were well marked.

  6. Re:Lump, Stick, Rectangle. and awesome. on Interview With iMac designer, Jonathan Ive · · Score: 1

    The screen seems to be as big as my 17" monitor. Also, the price is pretty competitive if you try and compare to PCs.

  7. Re:Together on Java IDEs? · · Score: 1

    Together is great if you want to create UML diagrams; it is especially nice for class diagrams. If you aren't going to create many UML diagrams then it doesn't really provide much else.

  8. Re:This could still work on Florida County Asks Students To Crack Elections · · Score: 1

    The problem isn't just security risks, but also
    logic bugs in the software. I would want to see
    a lot of test plans that show that the software
    works as stated before we use it.

  9. Re:Generalists Not Wanted on Former Dot-Com Workers Crowd Homeless Shelters · · Score: 1

    Then don't tell perspective employers that you are a generalist. Tell them, "Yes I can do that!". Tell them that you are the greatest. Then, if you get the job work hard to become the greatest.

  10. Re:Why isn't XML-RPC considered bloat? on ESR On XML-RPC · · Score: 1

    Show me an excellent and free CORBA implementation for Perl. Make it super simple to use for my super simple needs of having a Java client use my Perl based server. Now, make it easy to run the connection over SSL.

    Now I also need to call this perl stuff from an ASP based page using Visual Basic.

    This is what is nice about XML-RPC. It isn't the most efficient transport, but you don't always need the baggage that other protocols have.

  11. Smalltalk! on Cross-Platform GUI Toolkits? · · Score: 1

    Actually, there is something that's pretty good. Smalltalk. VisualWorks (by ParcPlace) supports MacOS, Windows, Linux, Solaris and HP.

    VisualWorks has a RAD environment, database access (an OO-Relational framework).

    It's been around for years and is very mature.

    The downside, of course, is that you need to know and be willing to support Smalltalk.

  12. Re:Works in Slashdot on CERT Advisory On Malicious HTML Tags · · Score: 1

    Developers should never include sensitve info in
    a cookie (although I don't care much about my slashdot id/password). If you have to I'd suggest
    encrypting it.

  13. Wiki Wiki on Are BBS-Like Communities Dead? · · Score: 1
    An interesting BBS type of forum that is popping up are Wiki sites.

    Wiki sites are really just editable web pages. Somebody starts a page on some topic and then others add to it. You can go in and change what you said a week ago or add something new.

    They can be quite nice as the 'editing' feature allows authors to refine what they said eariler.
