  3. All you need to know... on (Almost) All You Need To Know About IPv6 · · Score: 4, Funny

    All you need to know about IPv6. It wont run on your current network hardware, and you wont get the budget approved to upgrade.

  4. I doubt it. on A Network Sniffer On Steroids · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm willing to bet that most people with a wireless network card dont even know what the term "sniffer" means, much less be able to run one.

  5. Still stuck with old URLConnection on Using Java 5 Features in Older JDKs · · Score: 1

    Bah, still stuck with the old URLConnection in 1.4.2 that dosn't have a timeout. Ah well, got my hopes up there for a moment. On a sinde note, anyone know how to set the timeout of Sunlabs.brazil's HTTPConnect?

  6. Unresearched side effects. on Scotland Building Wave Power Farms · · Score: 1

    The problem I have with wave power is that it takes energy out of the oceanic eco system. What effects is that going to have ten years down the road?

    So where do I send my used jpgs, gifs and mpgs to for recycling?

  8. I've never realy understood this. on Vista Worse For User Efficiency Than XP · · Score: -1

    I've never realy understood this. Do people realy "use" the oporating system? if so, for what? I for one use applications, once the app is launched I dont realy care whats its sitting on beyond things like standard file open/save dialogs.

    From the looks of things, it'll put stress real hardware as well.

  12. Motorola's doing Symbian again? on Motorola Unveils Phone That Bends · · Score: 1

    Motorola's doing Symbian again? They where part of the Symbian group with Nokia and Sony when I first started writing software for the phone platform. However allmost right away they and Sony pulled out, taking with them a lot of technology from Symbian for their own phone software.

    If you've not tried it before, Symbian is a realy kick ass platform for phones. Multi tasking, protected memory, TCP/IP the whole nine yards.

  13. So, they want to get rid of iTunes? on EU Countries Call Out iTunes DRM · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Without the hardware tie in there's realy no incentive for Apple to keep running iTunes. Its the iPod & iTv sales that make them money.

  14. How to keep somthing seceret. on How Apple Kept the iPhone Secret · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Step 1) dont tell anyone about it.

  19. Re:In my experience. on Designing With Web Standards · · Score: 1

    More or less. If you say it will cost twice as much and take twice as long to support another 15-20% of the market thats a losing argument.

  20. Re:In my experience. on Designing With Web Standards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm doing web dashboards for 6SIGMA and ISO systems. I'm trying to hammer together OWC, ActiveX, Lotus Domino, Apache, JBoss, mySQL, Flash objects, kettle, jfree reports, and a bunch of other stuff.

    If it works in any browser at all I'll call it a sucsess.

  21. Re:Ob.non-us centric post on Verisign Retains .com Control Until 2012 · · Score: 1

    The UN is not a group you want dealing with any for of internatinal standards controll for comercial entities. Read they're charter some time (http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/) to see what it is they DO do. They will NOT ever setup large server farms within the US and other countries to deal with top level domains.

  22. In my experience. on Designing With Web Standards · · Score: 2, Funny

    In my experience, you can do it with standards, or you can make it look like the client wants it to look like, which requires at least two sets of scripts for the diferent browsers. Then you run into things like ActiveX maps and OWC objects and give up on it working in anything other then IE. Then you go have a stiff drink.

    "some kind of international controlled non-profit organization"

    The only organizations I can think of like that are tied to various religious groups. So I sure hope we dont hand controll over to them.
