  1. Re:Real shot is at Microsoft for small business... on Apple Blurs the Server Line With Mac Mini Server · · Score: 3, Informative

    I would never run a Mac server at this point because it can't be virtualized.

    Mac OS X Server can be virtualized for exactly the reasons you mentioned, actually. VMware virtualization of OS X Server works quite well in my personal experience.

  2. Re:Is this really worth noting? on Safari and Chrome: Tied For the Worst Password Manager · · Score: 1

    Robbie Chapin is a good guy. He set the record for the most pull-ups in our high school gym class. More on the point, he details the methods used just below the article. It seems pretty straight-forward.

  4. Re:You'd be surprised on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 1
    From their FAQ: http://www.qq.co.za/features.aspx

    QQ is battle-tested
    We've had over 100 million QQ registrations in the last four years.

    QQ is local
    A complete QQ infrastructure has been set up in South Africa, designed to serve the African continent with a world-class Instant Messaging platform.

    So they have over 100 million registrations not active users. and it looks like many of those registrations may have been part of the "infrastructure" that they setup for South Africa. Who knows how many people are actually using qq...

    This used to work, but with the latest version of DVD Player it isn't allowed. I think drag-install of an old version of DVD Player.app should do the trick.

  6. Creating a Monster on University Textbook Exchange Software · · Score: 5, Interesting
    When my parents went to school they actively participated in a grassroots book exchange program to protest the high priced book and supply store that had all the business. By the time I started taking classes at that same school, the small book exchange they started had transformed into an equally evil and overpriced textbook boutique.

    Perhaps politics and bureaucracy are the main roadblocks to creating something like this instead of html, cgi, and perl.

  7. Re:How pathetic is this? on A Brief History of the Internet · · Score: 2, Informative
    Einstein's theories of relativity have had almost zero influence on the World. It has no practical applications that I can think of off hand (maybe interplanetary space probes?).

    One application that I happen to know about is our GPS system, whose satelites rely on the general theory of relativity to give accurate results. Read all about it here.

    Perhaps ignorance about this kind of thing is a result of misunderstanding what exactly relativity is... my high school physics teacher told me that he didn't "buy it."

  8. Re:Verry wrong. on X Might Be Ready For IPV6 · · Score: 1
    If you think IPv6 is a waste of time, you wait when the global networks start using IPv6 for the same strengths they needed and IPv4 did not provide.

    If you think IPv6 is a waste of time, you wait when you need an IPv6 X client to connect to your server and VPN is not an option.

    If you think IPv6 is a waste of time, you wait when even streaming media or realtime data requires IPv6.

    Exactly: when I need IPv6 to view streaming media in new and improved uberquality, or when I need it to connect to my machine at work, THEN i will take a look at it. Until that time, I will resign myself to reading emotional discussions about it on /.
  9. Science is How Stuff Works on Interesting and Educational Web Pages for Children? · · Score: 3, Informative
    I love browsing HowStuffWorks.com with my young cousin. It provides a good framework to show how science plays a part in the things HE is interested in.

    I usually find out some cool stuff too :)
