  1. use the exploit to fix it? on First Apps Targeting Android Key Vulnerability Found in the Wild · · Score: 1

    Well, I hope this exploit can be used to give me root, so I can (A) fix it, (B) enjoy being root...

  2. Re:Blame ISPs on Google Now Serves 25% of North American Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    What if the router at home was somewhat more beefy and could have a few gigabytes of flash and a little cloud-OS... it doesn't need to be on a computer at home and would be totally out of your control.

  3. Re:Not-so-accurate source on BBC Clock Inaccurate - 100 Days To Fix? · · Score: 1

    Really? or do I miss something? ...put the server time as seconds since 1970 in a variable when rendering on the page... ...as soon as javascript starts you take the local computers time and calculate the offset which you apply every time you update the clock... ...make sure your webserver has the correct time, but that is easy to-do... ...also timezones wont matter at all, since you just query the UTC times, the offset applied to the local time will still be correct... ...yeah 100hrs sounds about right, where can I apply to do it?

  4. Re:Why is the FUD FUD? on Boston Replacing Microsoft Exchange With Google Apps · · Score: 1

    Which privacy policy did you read... the one from your gmail account or google apps?

  5. from a collective to for profit individuals on The Balkanization of Chatting · · Score: 1

    seems we went from working together to make life better for everyone to individuals with great ideas to patent them, or handed them out free and turn them in a for pay model later... its sad

  6. how does it compare to kzip? on Google Publishes Zopfli, an Open-Source Compression Library · · Score: 2

    I wonder how it compares to kzip (http://advsys.net/ken/utils.htm) which is trying to do the same just better and faster. Also google is trying to save 3% on gzipped content, but they dont use optipng/pngout on their images... up to 10% gains... jpegs, never heard of jpegtran google? it saves 20% on my digicam pictures (leaving exif and all meta intact).
