  1. No mention of RavenDB on Making Sense of the NoSQL Standouts · · Score: 1

    No mention of RavenDB http://ravendb.net/ or does it not fall under the NoSQL category?

  2. Re:Anonymous social networking. on Anonymous Creates Its Own Social Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe they are creating the first Anti-Social Network

  3. Go with a dialup account on Ask Slashdot: Living Without Internet At-Home Access? · · Score: 1

    Why not just subscribe to a dialup service; that will curb your obsession with pr0n.

  4. Classic comment on NASA's Next Mars Rover · · Score: 1
    This from one of the captions from an image (in bold).

    As the retro rockets control the landing speed, the descent stage will unspool tethers to lower the rover's wheels on to the surface. "If it works, it will be spectacular," says Grotzinger.

    "If" it works, glad they have such confidence in what they are doing...

  5. Jump to the list on The Most Dangerous Programming Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Here is the the actual list.

  6. The same question was asked about the EV1 on Who Killed the Netbook? · · Score: 1

    Who Killed the Electric Car? is a 2006 documentary film that explores the creation, limited commercialization, and subsequent destruction of the battery electric vehicle in the United States, specifically the General Motors EV1 of the mid 1990s.

    In the end it was a combination of everyone. Those who wanted a cheaply made device which had a good profit margin and those who wanted a cheaper than laptop device with a small form factor that didn't sacrifice laptop capabilities. Pretty much a no brainer on why it fizzled out so quickly.

  7. OMG... I cannot believe it... on Google WebRTC: Can It Replace Skype? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot confirms: "It's a game changer".

  8. Makes perfect sense for Google and Mozilla... on Mozilla Labs: the URL Bar Has To Go · · Score: 1

    Since Google would rather you *search* for something rather than go directly to a known page. Maybe Mozilla will get kickbacks from search and advertising dollars if they go along...

  9. Why add more gas to the fire.... on If You're Going To Kill It, Open Source It · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like there arenâ(TM)t enough dead open source projects out there already. You may not like that comment but it's an undeniable truth.

  10. Netcraft confirms it on Microsoft Slams Google Over HTML5 Video Decision · · Score: 1

    HTML5 video tag is dead... And this is why Flash/Silverlight will still remain the defacto standard for viewing video on the web outside of Youtube.

  11. Re:Biggest mobile disasters of 2010 on Windows Phone 7 Marketplace Hack Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    Google selling phones online only

  12. My big question is... on Google TV Next Month, Boxee In November · · Score: 1

    How does advertising and user tracking/profiling fit into the grand scheme of things?

  13. Re:Fundamental principles? on AT&T Says Net Rules Must Allow 'Paid Prioritization' · · Score: 1

    Your "profitable internet" is the reason you have broadband it didn't just appear by telco's and cable providers being good netizens'.

  14. Maybe it's function is for... on UVB-76 Explained · · Score: 1
  15. Bugs for cash on Google Patches 10 Chrome Bugs, Pays Out $10K · · Score: 1

    The reason that Google and alike are offering "bounties" on bugs is that the people behind malware do the same thing. They offer cash for exploits, not hard to find them either, just use a different search engine other than Google.

  16. Sooo... what about more important features.... on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: 1

    He also promises that Firefox 4 will be 'one generation ahead' of other browsers in relation to JavaScript speed.

    I would rather have 100% support of htmlX and cssX. than making js 2% faster. If you have that much js on your page where it affects the speed of rendering and or user UI experience rethink your web site design.

  17. Re:Mod the post on "Dislike" Button Scam Hits Facebook Users · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I used to do this as well till I got tired of "fixing" my families and friends computers all the time. I stopped and when they had issues told them to take it to XYC company to get it fixed as I was "busy" a nice big fat bill and in some cases losing all their files made them think a bit more about security and "just clicking on any-old-thing".

  18. Re:Harassment... on Larry Ellison Rips HP Board a New One · · Score: 1

    I heard the harassment form is one of the forms in a females employee's handbook and is pre filled out except the date.

  19. Probably more common than not on Who Is Downloading the Torrented Facebook Files? · · Score: 1

    I would bet that most large companies that sell software/media probably download any or all large sized torrents for the sake of piracy to find out what warez are being shared.

  20. Re:Generalization time on iPad Owners Are 'Selfish Elites' · · Score: 0, Troll

    Nearly every Linux *fan* that I've met has been a pretentious prick. Now, I don't mean if you use Linux distributions you are automatically a prick...but Linux fanboys(girls) are rabid on a level that is just plain scary.

    For the record, I personally think Linux is a decent OS, it's just not for me.

  21. Maybe it had to do with... on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    The fact that nobody wanted to buy a phone (other than geeks) from a search engine company. Lets face it, that is how the majority of consumers see Google, as a web page they search from and that's it. Even though the phone was made by a reputable company it was sold as the "Google Nexus One". Would you go out and buy a "Asus Mirage" a (fictional) car built by Ford for Asus? Probably not...

  22. Don't feel sorry for this guy on US Gov't Orders 73,000 Private Websites Offline · · Score: 4, Informative

    Based on some searching (wayback and webhostingtalk) this guy has been booted from two other hosting companies since 2008.

    See the ongoing thread @ http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=964013

  23. Must see movie on Inside the Fake PC Recycling Market · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you want a good glimps into the whole recycling of electronics in 3rd world countries check out the movie Manufactured Landscapes. Some pretty incredible shit...

    Where have you been? The video tag debate is over seems flash won.

    FYI: Bill Gates has nothing to do with M$ anymore, if you are going to bash M$ please use Steve Ballmer as the whipping boy now.
