  1. Re:Will we still have to REBOOT? on Adobe May Change To Monthly Patch Cycle · · Score: 0

    Well it amazes me that in 2010 dll dependencies is an excuse to reboot the computer for a PDF reader.

  2. Re:Finally on De Icaza Says Microsoft Has Shot .NET Ecosystem In Foot · · Score: 0

    AFAIK de Icaza still says that. Shooting oneself in the foot and being evil are different things you know.

  3. Re:Targetting on First Anti-Cancer Nanoparticle Trial On Humans a Success · · Score: 0

    I also would like to see this change effected.

    Except, of course, when it's used as a verb correctly.

  4. Re:They did it on How MySpace Generates Enough Load To Test Itself · · Score: 0

    I fully approve of your message.

  5. Re:Mozilla has been floundering for a long time on Mozilla To Ditch Firefox Extensions? · · Score: 0

    No, he's referring to Mozilla. That was Seamonkey's previous name. Mozilla came long before Firefox.

  6. Re:Americas Army on Graphic Novelist Calls For Better Game Violence · · Score: 0

    Insurgency is a great mod for Half-Life 2 with good realism. I used to play it quite a bit.

  7. Re:Privacy fears on Mozilla Exec Urges Switch From Google To Bing · · Score: 0

    No, Baptists are the *most* likely to look up cheerleader porn for various reasons (see the red/blue state porn study).

    What they'll get you for is alcohol, or more likely, not being best friends with Jesus.

  8. Re:Also, Bittorrent on One Way To Save Digital Archives From File Corruption · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I did this once for a linux DVD. I do wish it was easier to do such a thing from the browser.

  9. Re:SeaMonkey Composer is the best... on Mozilla Releases SeaMonkey 2.0 · · Score: 0

    Yes, but nvu itself is based on Seamonkey.

  10. Re:So... on Mozilla Releases SeaMonkey 2.0 · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I never switched to Firefox because I dislike pretty much everything it changed (the plugin management was good though). I *really* hope they never drop it.

  11. Re:backslashdot on Tim Berners-Lee Is Sorry About the Slashes · · Score: 0

    Heh, I'm usually aware of redundancies, but "DNS server" never crossed my mind.

    On another note, I have worked with people who call backslashes "slashes" and slashes "forward slashes". Sooo wrong.

  12. Re:I prefer Zones or areas on Should Computer Games Adapt To the Way You Play? · · Score: 0

    Which is why after the first time through, I used Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul (OOO) on Oblivion, and Fallout Wasteland Edition (FWE) for Fallout 3.

    In addition to a multitude of other changes and additions, both revamped the leveling system so that it actually *means* something to level up.

  13. Re:The guys behind EXTJS are terrible on Learning Ext JS · · Score: 0

    Yes, but keep in mind that it gets murkier when you talk about private websites (company intranets for example).

    Even using a liberal definition of distribution that includes serving a web page, an internal website is not distributed to either to the public or to customers, which I believe is what the GPL is about. Check out the GNU FAQ.

  14. Re:simple idea on RAID's Days May Be Numbered · · Score: 0

    Try googling TLER. I believe there is a utility to update the drive to turn this on or off.

  15. Re:Thank god! on Birdsong Studies Lead To a Revolution In Biology · · Score: 0

    Well, chronic heavy drinking does lead to loss of brain mass, which might be the source of the myth.

  16. Re:Schroedinger's cat? on Creating a Quantum Superposition of Living Things · · Score: 0

    I quite agree, although I think that interpreting the wave as a probability distribution for a single particle lends credence to the superposition view.

  18. Re:i7 920 130watt - $280, x4 965 140 watt - $245. on AMD's Phenom II 965, 3.4GHz, 140 Watts, $245 · · Score: 0

    No I can't. You forgot to include gas (since there's no shipping).

  19. Re:They got the ability to talk though on Researcher Discovers ATM Hack, Gets Silenced · · Score: 0

    I wonder if I'm the only one that thought the old ones were easier to use (I'm not disabled). I liked the buttons, text, and snappiness. I find the touchscreens to be slightly annoying.

  20. Re:Apple's fascination with single button mice on Fifteen Classic PC Design Mistakes · · Score: 0

    If you open two Word documents, and select File/Exit from the application menu in the document window of one, what happens?

    That is a particularly asinine behavior. Office is the only application I know of that does it.

  21. Re:you dont need this shit on Build an $800 Gaming PC · · Score: 0

    Face value? Really? I'd upgrade more often if I could get a decent return for the used system. Perhaps I'll try that.

    Well said.

  23. Re:How can this be? sufixication on Windows 7 Users Warned Over Filename Security Risk · · Score: 0

    MIME types are for the browser, not the user.

    And saying "You can ask the browser what type of file it is after you start downloading it" is not a good answer to "What types of files are these links to?"

  24. Re:"Good" doesn't mean "easy". on Greg Bear To Write Halo Trilogy · · Score: 0

    I read Eon & Eternity as a teenager and didn't find them too hard to read. Of course, I knew science, so I understood the material and really enjoyed it. But they would be difficult for many.

    A very similar situation is Tom Clancy books. Some of my friends didn't like them because of all the military jargon, but that's why I liked them. I already knew much of the material from TV.

  25. Re:now mississippi can be like my hometown..... on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 0

    Yeah, it's intersections like that that I might support cameras for (I drive through some every day). I'd rather there be an all-out ban than get abused by the city government, but I might support laws that severely restrict cameras so that they are only actually used for public safety - only bad intersections, can't shorten yellow light, dismissal if someone else was driving, etc.
