  1. Re:but I thought HTML was supposed to fix all that on Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    By the way: Why don’t we replace the browser with a window containing tabs of virtual machines that un-freeze a tiny local memory image containing common libraries (also for backward compatibility) that can run remote executables, either as a thin client or as a real application.
    Then we only have to have the ability to separate tabs our to being their own windows and having the ability to have an icon in your start menu.

    And suddenly we have the best of both worlds: Complete encapsulation, simple development for simple projects with XHTML/CSS/JS/..., and the ability to run full applications.
    Done right, it should also be faster than JS or a VM running a full OS.

    Maybe I should talk to the Firefox team about it. Or the VirtualBox guys?

    It’s not the SD card, and people stating otherwise are lying. That is part of my point.

  3. Re:It's not what it would seem. on Alberta Scientists Discover Largest-Ever Cache of Dinosaur Bones · · Score: 1

    And this comment, defensive as it is, is a perfect example right here of why the religious retards are gaining ground:
    Defensive means that the defender thinks that without his defense, he would lose the argument. Or else he would not have to defend it.
    Which means he himself puts himself in the weak position, even though there is absolutely no reason to do so in the first place.
    We don’t have to defend our claims.
    They have to defend theirs.

    Just remember that one thing when arguing with an idiot: The more you defend, the more you play by his rules, the more you lose.
    The only winning move, is not to play.

    Or in other words: If the arguments were already stated, never repeat them. Simply because they still hold, and his “arguments” did nothing. And if you are face to face, always be the one who is calmer, more secure, does not feel the need to win anyone over, and shows this in his voice, gesture and everything. :)

  4. Why did he need "Limo" in the first place? on Wikileaks Source Outed To Stroke Hacker's Own Ego · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I mean, really: Protip:
    1. Go to some Internet café and upload everything to a "free homepage", "online hard drive" or similar service.
    2. Go to another Internet café and post the link to a couple of forums that Wikileaks people frequent, saying that you just found it on that homepage trough a random google search.
    3. Watch how after you leave the computer at the Internet cafés, they get wiped and overwritten with a disk image.
    4. Watch dozens of customers use the same PC in the next hours/days, making it impossible to know by the fingerprints or by asking the people there, who actually did the upload or posts.

    Simple: All these years of WinMo pressed their brains into a mold of insanity. And after taking off the mold, they kept the form.
    It’s like freeing an animal that has lived in captivity all its life. It won’t survive for long as it has no idea what to do with all that freedom.

    Define “obvious”.

    To me, the obvious answer is, that someone wants to look at what I’m doing. Which can not ever possibly be a good thing. Ever. Because it’s always a breach of trust and privacy.
    I mean the fact that they aren’t even deleted after a factory reset really gives it away, plain as day.

    The error is in your additional implications. Nobody said anything about peeling it off. You obviously make it in-place on the supporting bowl and frame, and then movie the whole thing to wherever you need it.
    That’s already how it’s done. Because even huge glass mirrors deform under their weight, when not properly supported..
