  1. The Old New Thing on Why Windows is Slow · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The old new thing, describes some of the hacks win32 uses to stay compatible with badly written applications. Things like dummy events, hidden windows, duplicate event stacks, etc.

  2. Re:How about "use strict;" directive on PHP 6 and What to Expect · · Score: 1

    error_reporting(E_ALL); helps a lot

  3. Re:Cliff's Notes: Start Using TCP Sequence Number on Examining ICMP Flaws · · Score: 1
    This works because all ICMP error packets are required to contain the IP header and at least 8 more bytes of the packet that caused the error in the first place.
    If I understand this correctly the specs don't actually say that the sequence number is there, it just happens to be in those eight bytes.
  4. Annoying localisation on MSN Search Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    When I use msn search it will automaticly redirect to the dutch version, searching only .nl sites. Even when I click one of the links in this thread it will append &geovar=76 I guess reading English sites is considered harmful.

  5. What shap haven't we had on Is the Universe Shaped Like a Funnel? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Last year it was a dodecahedron, this year a funnel, what's it going to be next year?

  6. Re:SVG & Steganogrpahy? on SVG And The Free Desktop(s) · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think the author is refering to the embeding of other types of XML in a SVG image. You can for example use HTML and MathML inside an SVG file, or even your own XML based data format.

  7. Re:Cases like this are rediculous on Jesus Castillo, Supreme Court, And Free Speech · · Score: 0

    Example: You shouldn't be able to sit in the park reading the latest x-rated comic labeled, 'Commander Taco and the Three BSD Daemonettes'. The park's public property. Others might not wish to see Commander Taco getting it on with BSD chix0rz. Example: You shouldn't be allowed to sit in the park at all, others might not wish to see you.

  8. Re:Red Screen of Death on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    You can actually set the foreground and background color of the BSOD in some ini file. BSOD, GSOD, RSOD, PSOD, WSOD, YSOD...
