  1. Re:And all for what? on Google Is Serious, Chrome 13 Hides URL Bar · · Score: 1

    I use xmonad, you insensitive clod!

  2. Potential Treats on StunRay Incapacitates With a Flash of Light · · Score: 1

    The figure in the second link states that the "Warning" range in the continuum of response is for "Warning or hailing potential treats." There's a joke in there somewhere.

  3. Re:How to restore the older tabs look: on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    Task bar!? I have a different X server for each web page.

  4. Re:This is good news! on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    Click on the little question mark. You get the following:

    glow.mozilla.org tracks downloads for Firefox 4. When someone clicks the download button on mozilla.com or asks for an upgrade from inside Firefox, we approximate their location based on IP address and store anonymous aggregate location information in our database.

  5. Re:America, land of the "free". on Leave a Message, Go To Jail · · Score: 5, Informative

    That link says they have the power to confiscate anything they think might be evidence of terrorism. "This includes any mobile telephone or camera containing such evidence."

    So basically, you can photograph and video tape the police if you want your camera seized.

  6. Re:You mean lobbying? on Army Psy Ops Units Targeted American Senators · · Score: 1

    They're getting better! From the article:

    In recent months, the Pentagon has quietly dropped the nefarious-sounding moniker "psy-ops" in favor of the more neutral "MISO" – short for Military Information Support Operations.

  7. Re:How about Linux support ? on AMD Sale to Dell Rumored · · Score: 1

    No kidding! I was seeing a performant, open-source ATI driver on the horizon. If this deal goes through, I doubt my dreams will materialize.

  8. Re:Here you see what two people can do! on Online-Only Currency BitCoin Reaches Dollar Parity · · Score: 1

    Yes, and the "two people using Bitcoin" are performing those 94.33 transactions per hour.

  9. Re:I second - but... on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    If Wikileaks wins will the USA boycott the whole thing?

  10. Re:At least read the summary, for FSM's sake on Amazon, Not Developers, Will Set New App Store's Prices · · Score: 1

    So, developers should set the MSRP to 5 times what they -actually- want to get for it.

  11. Re:AT&T is unlimited for most users on Verizon To Offer iPhone Users Unlimited Data · · Score: 1

    It appears that I am full of shit. The cap is 5GB/month and the overage charge is $0.25 a MB. I'd scan a copy of my bill, but it's not worth it for an internet fight.

    This forum post corroborates my claims :"My bill indicates my plan is unlimited ... 5 GB limit?". Several other threads on the VZW board read similarly.

    I've been attempting to get at the text of my actual contract, but it appears impossible to do from the website and I can't find the paper copy I was given.

  12. Re:real Unlimited or Unlimited with a big slow dow on Verizon To Offer iPhone Users Unlimited Data · · Score: 1

    I am altering the data-cap. Pray I don't alter it any further.

  13. Re:AT&T is unlimited for most users on Verizon To Offer iPhone Users Unlimited Data · · Score: 1

    I currently have an "unlimited" data plan from Verizon for my Droid. I actually get 2GB a month. I'm charged $5 a MB for anything beyond that.

    I heard about the limit from someone else, but didn't bother checking the fine print in my contract. The clerk at the Verizon store did, reluctantly, verify it though.

  14. Re:wikileaks on US To Host World Press Freedom Day · · Score: 1

    What part of "Congress shall pass no law... abridging... freedom of the press" is unclear?

    The ellipses.

  15. Re:Apple getting desperate? on Apple Bans Android Magazine App From App Store · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nice of you to highlight your mistake there. Now the spelling Nazis won't bother to reply.

  16. Re:old-school on Alternative To the 200-Line Linux Kernel Patch · · Score: 1

    Penny'll start a fire.

  17. Re: Time To Hump It! on Windows Cluster Hits a Petaflop, But Linux Retains Top-5 Spot · · Score: 1

    Mr. President, we must not allow a super computing gap!

  18. Re:It sucks I agree on The State of Linux IO Scheduling For the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, when the system gets to this state there's no way to open a terminal.

  19. Re:right to not incriminate yourself? on British Teen Jailed Over Encryption Password · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Brazil in which the authorities make the "criminals" pay for their own interrogation.

    Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.

  20. Re:What's the point? on Wolfenstein Gets Ray Traced · · Score: 1

    Not quite. Each ray still has to be tested for intersection. Assuming an efficient spacial database this increases the complexity to O(number of rays * log number of polygons). Point still taken, though.

  21. Re:You still don't get it !? on Fujitsu Eyes Wireless Gadget Charging For 2012 · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

  22. Re:Great opportunity for Linux... on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    The only thing I'd (STRONGLY!) suggest is some way to filter out all the libraries and stuff that only developers care about so that end users can avoid getting confused by 7,000 libraries that they wouldn't understand anyway. My thoughts are that packages need to describe themselves as two-stage categories: EG: Libraries, ProgrammingTools, Applications and divide each of these categories further, EG: Libraries/Graphics, Applications/Office, Applications/Games, etc. with a default of "Applications" showing.

    It's already like this in "Ubuntu Software Center" application.

  23. Re:Citation needed on Droid X Self-Destructs If You Try To Mod · · Score: 1

    Would this be possible if the Linux kernel was licensed under GPLv3?
