  1. Re:Are bots infesting Google+ ? on Company Claims 80% of Facebook Ad Clicks Are From Bots · · Score: 1

    2 things:
    1. Google+ doesn't do ads :)
    2. Google AdSense is pretty good at catching these "fake clicks"

  2. Re:write your own on Ask Slashdot: Scripting-Friendly Smartphones? · · Score: 1

    WOW! Thanks for that :)
    I was thinking about trying my hand at some android programming, and my only home "computer" is a asus transformer tablet :)

  3. Sony SmartWatch on Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded · · Score: 2

    As everybody before me said, go for Pebble :)
    I can't wait to try mine :D

    Another option would be the watch that runs Android: Sony SmartWatch. See for yourself.

  4. buffering? on Optus Loses Second Battle In Aussie TV-Timeshifting Battle · · Score: 1

    Anybody thought that the 2 minute delay might be caused by buffers and recompression to bring it down to cellphone quality?

    Next thing you know, buffering will be labeled as pirating ... :x

  5. Device encryption on Honeycomb on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Protect Data On Android? · · Score: 1

    Honeycomb 3.1 has the option to encrypt the whole filesystem. It failed initially on my Transformer, but I read somewhere that they fixed it.
    I don't know what that means for access via USB to the SD card, but if you device has been turned off, the filesystem can't be accessed until you type the encryption password.
    It's not the magic bullet, but it's an extra step :)

  6. Offline and Online on Ask Slashdot: Best Offline Storage Method For Large Archives? · · Score: 1

    Depending on the period you want too keep it.
    Backup to multiple destinations:
    - external HDD/disks/tapes - initial cost, plus some cost to refresh it from time to time
    - Online storage (Crashplan, SpiderOak, Amazon S3....) - will incur a monthly/yearly cost but it' usually very reliable.

  7. Mark it as unimportant :) on Is Google Playing Fair With Groupon, et al? · · Score: 1

    Just mark it as unimportant, and next time you get it should not hit Priority Inbox any more. :)

  8. Re:Make up his mind, please on Assange: Facebook 'the Most Appalling Spy Machine' Ever · · Score: 1

    My thought exactly :)
    Openness goes both ways ...*chuckle*

  9. Re:Multi-tasking on Windows Phone 7 To Get Multi-Tasking, IE9, Xbox Integration · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely right .... except ... my S60 Symbian N95 phone did that long time ago. In fact it still does it better than iOS or Android...
    Too bad it's one of the few things it does really good.

  10. Re:So how will this impact IMAP access? on Google Adds Two-Factor Authentication To Gmail · · Score: 1

    yup, you can set up these one application passwords, and you can delete them any time.
    It's a little bit of a pain as you need to be in front of a computer when you set up a new connection to google from your device (to create the password).

    The only problem I see so far is that password is not really connected to the application, so if you lose that password, it can be used to access you account :(
    It should be really fixed to one application or service as much as possible.

  11. Re:Great...what if you're without your phone? on Google Adds Two-Factor Authentication To Gmail · · Score: 1

    Then don't use the 2 factor auth. It's a opt-in feature :)

  12. Re:E-Series Nokia or other WiFi-capable Symbian ph on Best Phone For a Wi-Fi-Only Location? · · Score: 3, Informative

    My N95 is an amazing SIP device. The native SIP implementation means that a SIP call behaves exactly like a normal call. Just dial the number as usual, just choose internet call instead of voice call. It works over wifi and 3G, almost seamless.
    As for NAT, I never had any problems with it. It has NAT transversal support.

    As for cheap, you can always buy one second hand.

  13. Re:This reminds me.. on Was This the First Denial of Service Attack? · · Score: 1

    aaaahhhh ... IPX networks on shared coax cable.
    The pleasure of coax:It was enough to disconnect one cable and the full network would come down :)

  14. Re:Hopefully improved. on Mozilla Thunderbird 3 Released · · Score: 1

    You can configure this feature from the account or folder properties... It is called offline access.

  15. Re:Kinda sounds like on D&D On Google Wave · · Score: 1

    I think there are already a few voice/video conference extensions ...

  16. Re:Kinda sounds like on D&D On Google Wave · · Score: 1

    you have have keystroke updates instead of waiting for the entire line to be inputed

    If I remember right, IE was the first filemanager/browser in one. I believe it was IE3.0 ...

  19. Re:Dial Up on Canadian Telco Telus Moves All Call Traffic to the Net · · Score: 1

    No need for that. Only long distance calls are VOIP, and usually the internet connection is a local call.

    And you don't need an ip address for every phone. I think they are using PSTN for local loop and big voip gateways( a relatively big gateway can handle up to 8E1's , that means 240 simultaneous calls ) .

  20. shell on Linux Chosen for IBM's New Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    who wants a shell on that ?? I know i do ! :o)

  21. OpenSSH on OpenBSD Gains Privilege Elevation · · Score: 1

    Too bad OpenSSH has too many if ( uid == 0 ), and it won't work unless launched as root.
    I tried to do a server with priviledge escaladation on linux, using RSBAC .But I failed on doing so because OpenSSH refuses to work as a nonpriviledged user .

    wow .. thank ... 90k/s .. that's more like it !

  23. Re:nice idea... on Mozilla.org Releases Protozilla · · Score: 1

    Next step is supporting apache modules, and .. maybe, integrating a web server into mozilla. Well, I admit, the last ideea is too much...
