  1. Re:I was under the assumption on Photo Tagging as a Privacy Problem? · · Score: 1

    Yup a still frame gives good insight into somebody's private life. If it's not something you want people to see, then I reiterate my previous point, DON'T TAKE A PICTURE OF IT.

    If you're that worried about people seeing a picture of you, then don't leave your house. Personally, I don't see the BFD

  3. Re:Or you can just use OpenDNS on 10 Anti-Phishing Firefox Extensions · · Score: 1

    Why is OpenDNS smarter?

    We fix typos in the URLs you enter whenever we can. For example, if you're using OpenDNS craigslist.og will lead directly to craigslist.org.

    When you try to go to a website that won't load, instead of a browser error we show you OpenDNS Guide and help you get to where you want to go.


    How about not breaking shit and returning a notfound?

  4. Re:Oh well on Mass Deletion Leads To LiveJournal Revolt · · Score: 1

    LJ's method of networking journals adds another layer to the situation.

    No it doesn't. It's called an opportunity cost, might take an Econ class some time. You forgo the handy networking cruft, in exchange for no censorship. Or looking at it the other way, you give up the ability to post whatever you want, in exchange for whatever these networking things you're talking about are.

    Well, actually, some of us are paying for the services.

    Easy solution. Take that money, stop paying, host your own blog. Not worry about somebody deleting your blog (Well not as much). Profit.

  6. Uh Oh on Google Debuts Street View and Mapplets · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here's a video grab showing Street View in action - this looks & feels amazing, albeit there's potential privacy issues due to the level of detail (you can make out individual faces, license plates and so on):

    Uh Oh, people might see you in a public place.

    No seriously, If you're walking along the side of a road, driving your car on a road, what expectation of privacy do you have here. Are taking pictures of people and vehicles illegal now, do I need to go back and blur out all faces and license plates?

  7. Re:How will you avoid the traps? on Ask Turbine's Jeff Anderson About LOTRO · · Score: 1

    They've both had their problems, but in both I see a pattern: as the game progresses, and they transition from release to long-term expansion cycles, content progression becomes so deep and so complex that new or casual players must spend 4-6 months to join their friends who have been playing for months or years.

    I've had to drop dozens of quests because I've leveled faster then I could complete them all. Levelling in LOTRO isn't nearly as bas as WoW

    $7 a month *is* cheap. Come back after buying some real servers.

  9. Re:SVN will not replace CVS (IMO) on Performance Tuning Subversion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Subversion fails to follow symbolic links that point to code that other projects share for the sake of a minority that still develops using Windows (which doesn't have real symbolic links).

    I am an SVN newbie, but that kinda sounds like Externals.

  14. Gotta love the Vigalantism on Flickr Censors A Photographer's Plea · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Today I have been in contact with OnlyDreemin and asked for clarification on this issue. I was saddened to learn they have received death threats over this matter, proving once again just how passionate people are, no matter how misguided, when it comes to this type of theft.

    Calm down people it's just some pictures. If a post on my site was generating death threats, I'd delete the damn thing too.

    Look at how many post-Halo games have a 'recharging' HP mechanism of some sort.

  17. Yea yea I know you've heard it before on Halo 3 Beta Impressions · · Score: 1

    Audio cues are more important than ever, and the better your sound system the more next-gen this will feel.

    That's kinda why I'm particular to PC gaming. A good pair of headphones is all you need to hear those 'audio cues' and lacking that, anything above 2 speakers is gravy since most games ship with decent sound engines for realistic 3d sound.

    Huh, I always remembered hearing that they stopped painting it due to releasing some chemicals into the atmosphere when it burned up upon re-entry.

    According to the SPEC sheet, the MTTF was 2,000,000 hours. Which is above nearly every HD out there. I'd probably be correct in assuming that they figured the write-limit into their testing.
