  4. Re:It's about the right to choose on Stanford, Mozilla, Opera Launch Web Privacy Initiative · · Score: 2

    It is quite popular. It's called Chrome.

    Ad-friendly features include:
    -inability to create ad-blocking add-on as good as FF's
    -Permanent built-in serial number (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=google+chrome+serial+number)

    No word yet on Prism compatibility.

  7. And this is why I do not do "E-Books" on Amazon: Publishers Strong-Armed Us On E-Books · · Score: 0

    PDF yes.

    E-Books? too expensive and locked to a "reader". (Kobo, etc)

    In 5 years, that "e-book" is a useless file.
    My money is long gone and I can't sell it or even give away the "E-book".
    Giving it away could be illegal (WTF!)

    "Right to read" was a prophecy of doom but it's becoming reality.

    Clippit : It seems you are trying to use an enterprise feature of the Web.
                Mozilla has stated that the enterprise is not there target audience.

  10. Re:Service pack on Windows Blue Is Officially Windows 8.1, Free For Existing Users · · Score: 1

    XP was supposed to be a service pack for Windows 2000.

    Next thing you know, you have to pay for it.

    Don't count your free upgrade as "Free" until it installs for free.
    Until it does, it's vapour-ware to increase sales.

    This being solved as we speak.

    More and more people are childless.
    Either by conscientious choice or by bad luck.

    The "conscientious choice" part is caused by Economics. Soon only the rich will be able to have kids without living in poverty.

    I suspect the "luck" part is caused by pollution of our so called food but I have no proof.

    This is what is also known as a "submarine patent"

    It lurks under the water while adoption builds.
    Later on, the "submarine patent" surfaces and sues everyone.

  16. Re:We turn the planet into Venus on Ask Slashdot: What If We Don't Run Out of Oil? · · Score: 1

    I remember watching a video on LFTR reactors that said until the energy density of batteries matches and surpasses the density of Diesel or Gas, we will stay with Diesel or Gas for vehicles.

    What the video proposes, however, is to extract the CO2 from the air to create Sweet crude or diesel directly using the high heat (700-900C) from the LFTR reactor. The technology exists but the cheap source of heat doesn't at this time.

    Hopefully the Chinese will figure out how to upscale LFTR reactors to utility size because the US is too busy making Banks and Wall street happy.

    RE: Pandora pays exorbitant license rates above and beyond that paid by actual FM radio broadcasters.

    That's because the RIAA wants to kill competition.

    For DVDs, at least, it's about forcing makers of DVD players to respect the "can't skip commercials" features of commercial DVD discs.

    That way the commercials are force-ably watched. (at least on hardware players)

    As copy protection goes, it's as good as ROT-13 for encrypting text.
