  1. Doesn't affect the Pearl on RIM Crippling BlackBerry Bluetooth Speed? · · Score: 0

    ...but then the Pearl has a far more capable bluetooth stack to begin with. I installed the latest T-Mobile firmware update earlier this week and have had no speed problems when using the phone as a bluetooth modem (only through OS X, as I don't have a Windows laptop).

  2. 802.11n? on CSIRO Wireless Patent Reaffirmed In US Court · · Score: 0

    Does the patent affect the new standard? If so, can the standard be changed prior to ratification to avoid a second round of payments? I've got no problem with CSIRO's patent, but it would seem like a competent standards org should avoid patented material, or have a good reason why they can't.

  3. Seems like... on OpenCyc 1.0 Stutters Out of the Gates · · Score: 0

    'How to set up a web server to withstand the /. effect' is not a matter of human consensus yet.

  4. Re:This is pretty much.... on IBM using Napoleon Dynamite Quote to Encrypt Data · · Score: 0
    ....the worst post ever made.


    I've heard that so many times it's lost all meaning.

  7. Re:It's open on tcp/5222 on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 0

    FWIW, it seems very unlikely that Google will launch an external service using a self-signed SSL cert for protection. GMail's SSL cert is issued by Thawte:

    Certificate chain
      0 s:/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=gmail.google.com
          i:/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA
      1 s:/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA
          i:/C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority


    Could be a test cert they're using for the beta, or it could lend weight to the 'internal server' argument. Who knows.

  8. Another one? on Dirac: BBC Open Source Video Codec · · Score: -1, Troll

    Really, why do we need another codec?

  9. No growth + great satan = buh bye on The Worst Development Job You've Ever Had? · · Score: 1

    Easy - I once accepted a job porting the back end of a major telemarketing firm's software to AS/400. You know the little pause when you pick up the phone before the prisoner on the other end starts the time-share pitch? Yeah, that's them. I quit after two weeks - and the first week was training.

  10. No Bluetooth?! on Apple Gives Laptops Speed Bumps · · Score: 1

    After all the fuss about building Bluetooth into OS X v10.2, the first models to be released afterwards have no built-in bluetooth? A bit disappointing, that.

  11. Sandia's doomed... on Sandia Labs Creates "Sim-Terrorist Attack" · · Score: 1

    ...just check out the Aeron chairs. They'll be bankrupt in a month.
