  1. Re:So? on Flickr To Abandon Early Adopters · · Score: 1

    Read the thread on Flickr about this topic. There are hundreds of old pro members posting there, not liking the change. And quite a few of them will leave. I never seriously looked for another photo service - now I will.

  2. Re:Get a Picasa account on Flickr To Abandon Early Adopters · · Score: 1

    On top of this, the paid account on Picasa only gives 6GB while Flickr gives unlimited storage.

  3. Re:So? on Flickr To Abandon Early Adopters · · Score: 1

    Why we paid? Well simply, because we use it. The free version is more of a teaser compared with the pro membership.

  4. Re:It's a drag. on Flickr To Abandon Early Adopters · · Score: 1

    That's exactly the thing. I am one of the old Flickr members (and a paying member) and I don't want a Yahoo ID. I guess most old members that haven't yet made the switch don't want a Yahoo ID. I have invited a lot of people to Flickr and quite a few didn't register because they didn't want a Yahoo ID.

  5. Re:I admit it. on 7 Ways to Be Mistaken for a Spammer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Exactly, that's the thing making me hit the "Spam" button as well. As long as there is an easy way to unsubscribe I'll use that instead to keep the spam filter rules clean.

  6. Re:Arrr! on Pirate Bay to Purchase Sealand? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know who currently provides the internet access to Sealand? I know that they offer secure web hosting for some time now but I don't know through which provider they connect to the rest of the net.

  7. Re:Overloards on White Dolphin Functionally Extict · · Score: 1

    Exactly my sentiments. :-(

  8. Re:It's fine for Google to do that on Google's Silent Monopoly · · Score: 1
    As I, and other posters, have been pointing out. You are not the consumer, nor the customer. You are the product. The advertisers are the customer. They are most definitely charged by Google for their services.

    We just bought a Google Enterprise product, so I think I am a customer...
    Selling their search technology is an important part of Googles business.
    I could argue that the free search at Google.com is just a demo of their product and to finance the costs that this demo creates, they put up some advertisements.

  9. Re:So? on Vista Designed to Make Malware Easy · · Score: 2, Funny

    There is this thing called "bad luck" which will make me get a much bigger fraction of the junk, thus swamping my entire connection. :(

  10. Re:But no privacy in the land of the free on German ISP Forced To Delete IP Logs · · Score: 4, Informative

    Sorry, but you're wrong there. Copyright for "Mein Kampf" has fallen to the state of Bavaria after Hitlers death (since there were no heirs). You can only get an annotated version as Bavaria won't publish the original version. 2015 the copyright should expire (70 years after authors death) and the book should go into the public domain (barring any changes to copyright laws).

  11. Re:Good and bad. on German ISP Forced To Delete IP Logs · · Score: 1

    I don't think this will happen. All other ISPs always deleted the IP logs for flat fee users, only T-Online didn't.

  12. Re:But no privacy in the land of the free on German ISP Forced To Delete IP Logs · · Score: 1

    You do know that the law banning nazi propaganda and symbols was installed by the Allies after the war? It is no German invention at all (but I still think it is a good law most of the time).

  13. Re:The way it should be. on German ISP Forced To Delete IP Logs · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that the EU is forcing Germany to change their laws so that ISPs need to keep the IP records for 12 months. :-(

    Simply try Fedora Unity. They provide updated DVD images.

  15. Re:Honestly on Fedora Core 6 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Use Fedora Unity for respins including all updates.

  16. Re:Yes, but... on Fedora Core 6 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, Fedora does this from time to time. I'm pretty sure that there will soon be an update for FC6 bringing Firefox 2.0 to the system. Perhaps that will even come for FC5.

  17. Re:BY-NC on Making Content More Valuable or Stealing Revenue? · · Score: 1

    That's the reason why one shouldn't use the NC licenses. Use SA instead - it is clearer defined and better anyway.

  18. Re:Culture of Death on Paypal Co-Founder Backs Anti-Aging Research Prize · · Score: 1

    The christian viewpoint is that you cannot extend your life over what god has set for you. So it is ok to do this anti ageing stuff but you cannot know if it helps. (You can still get hit by a car when only 35.)

  19. Re:Please help me with vim on A Visual Walkthrough of New Features in Vim 7.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Presumably hjkl are much more reliably next to each other than jkl;?
    Right, on a German keyboard it is jklö for example. To reach ; you have to use the shift key.
  20. Re:Ahead of their time on Ultra HDTV on Display for the First Time · · Score: 1

    It's not even new, I have read about UHDV over a year ago when it was first shown in Japan. This article is only about the first showing in Europe.

  21. Re:But does it have a useable file-save dialogue? on GNOME 2.16 Released · · Score: 1
    Yeah, then you get the joy of the "smart" autocomplete randomly deciding to fill in single matches while you're still typing (and not slowly, either) so that you get stuff like "pictures/ctures" before you can stop and backspace. Other times, you know there's only one autocomplete match, so you pause for it to fill in, but it only gives you the autocomplete dropdown (of one item).
    Weird, I always get the dropdown which doesn't get in the way of typing the full name myself. PErhaps Suse has messed with the code somehow?
  22. Re:But does it have a useable file-save dialogue? on GNOME 2.16 Released · · Score: 1
    Well, if you open the folder view and right click on it you also get there through the context menu (right where "show hidden files" is also located). Don't ask me where I know it from, but CTRL+L has always and evereywhere opened the location dialog.

    But I guess your problem is the reason why they made it more obvious in the new version.

    1: let me type in the name of the file I want (including path name)(It looks like they may have done that)
    2: a popup with the full path would be nice.
    This was always possible by pressing CTRL+L...
  24. Re:launch units on European PS3 Launch Delayed to 2007 · · Score: 1
    they're launching with less in Japan than the 360 had (160k), with about 20x the demand.

    The funny thing is that Sony will sell their 100k units at launch while M$ still hasn't sold their 160k units they started with.
