  1. Re:No more Last.fm for me on Last.fm User Data Was Sent To RIAA By CBS · · Score: 1

    I cancelled mine the day they posted this blog post stating that they are on the side of the collecting societies.

    For me that was when I figured that the service was compromised and although it was fun to use it for a while it was not for me anymore.

  3. Re:rev="shorturl" on Can rev="canonical" Replace URL-Shortening Services? · · Score: 1

    I like it. Sounds definitely better than rev="canonical".

    Although I don't agree that rel="alternate" implies a different format.

  4. "rev" not "rel" on Can rev="canonical" Replace URL-Shortening Services? · · Score: 1

    The parent is not Informative, rev in this case is correct since the resource linked is a NOT the canonical page but a short-url version of the canonical page you are currently on, so the relationship is:

    page A with long URL <--is the canonical url of--- page B with short URL

    and NOT

    page A with long URL ---is another address for the canonical url--> page B with short URL

    Page A is the canonical, the long URL page is the authoritative destination, page B is just a shortcut, and not the other way around, so when in page A, if your software are looking for alternate address of that canonical page with shorter urls your software should look for reverse links containing "canonical" as the value. Links for pages that have the current page as the canonical are the ones with rev, not rel.

    See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.3.1 to understand.

    I admit it is a little confusing, maybe they should be using rel="alternate mirror", rel="alternate short-url" or simply rel="alternate" instead, to indicate that the link points to an alternate version of the current page. But saying that the link is of a page that points reversely to the current page that is the canonical is not wrong

    You just need to voluntarily tell the world with one update which license you use. TweetCC is a great website to help you with that: http://tweetcc.com/

  6. Re:Wise choice on White House Ditches YouTube · · Score: 5, Informative

    Nice so it can be re posted on YouTube with little effort. Still think using a free service that everybody and their dog uses makes a lot more sense than paying for it.

    Yes it Can... be reposted to Youtube or Vimeo, or Archive.org or Blip.tv or even your preferred P2P network, you can even host it yourself because as far as I know this videos are all public domain.

    But you don't need to re-post them to Youtube and Vimeo at least, because whitehouse folks already do that for you:

    They only stopped embedding youtube videos on the whitehouse gov site (maybe to stop advertising google's service for free on a tax-payer funded website, although the link to Vimeo is still there), but they are still publishing copies of the weekly videos on youtube and other free services that everybody and their dog uses...

  7. Obligatory Quote on Should Taxpayers Back Cars Only the Rich Can Afford? · · Score: 2

    Ana Pascal: Listen, I'm a big supporter of fixing potholes and erecting swing sets and building shelters. I am *more* than happy to pay those taxes. I'm just not such a big fan of the percentage that the government uses for national defense, corporate bailouts, and campaign discretionary funds. So, I didn't pay those taxes. I think I sent a letter to that effect with my return.

    Telefonica ISP in Brazil (Speedy) is doing the same thing, redirecting unresolved domains to ajudanabusca.com.br which contains ads from Yahoo searchmarketing.

  9. Re:Needs to find its niche on Google's OpenSocial Too Late To Be a Win? · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...that is also what OpenSocial is not. OpenSocial is a set of standard methods and libraries for app developers to ask one particular social network for information. It is a way to provide compatibility for social networks addons, not a place or central place for anything.

  10. Re:Responses from a Firefox developer on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    To clear the cache (and only the cache, not cookies, passwords, history and etc), in 1.5 it took 2 clicks, on 2.0 it take at least five clicks. I don't see this as a vast improvement.

    # The new Options dialog box is confusing, poorly designed, and illogically hides important features Especially given the positive feedback we've gotten on the redesigned pref window, I'd suggest explicitly naming problems here rather than making such a vague and general argument. The new options box is IMO a vast improvement on the old one: it reduces the number of tabs containing embedded tabs to one (the Advanced tab), it rewords many options for grammar and clarity (especially where the old wordings had generated bug reports), and it slightly modifies the default set of options to better fit actual usage. Name the "important features" being hidden and I suspect the list will consist of features that are very important to a tiny fraction of our userbase.
  11. Re:Brazil!!!! on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    I would not recommend Brazil to anyone, not only because of the giant bureaucracy and very high taxes(without any benefit, trust me, you can't count on any public service), but mostly because of the people.

    The culture of taking advantage of others (aka "jeitinho brasileiro", "malandragem") is something they are proud of, the dream of most of the population is to become part of the bureaucracy by achieving a public job where you don't need hard working and have guarantees of receiving the paycheck without any chance of being fired, needless to say that they hate America(and capitalism in general), don't value respect, honor, knowledge, freedom and things like that.

    Being a Brazilian myself, temporarily living in the US, it is difficult not to compare the enormous cultural differences and be ashamed of my country, you may dislike Bush, DRM, Microsoft, Michael Moore, Democrats, Republicans, SUVs, Richard Stallman or whatever, but you live on a nation, with principles, values and educated people. Stop whining.

  12. Re:Ungrateful Bitching on Firefox 2.0 RC3 Released · · Score: 1
    The workaround I am using to prevent this stupid tabs scrolling is to set a small value on this preference(accessible by typing about:config on the location bar):
    browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 12
    You may also want to put the tab closing button back on the right place:
    browser.tabs.closeButton = 3
    I really hope to see better defaults on the next versions of Firefox, or a maybe a new Mozilla distribution with less "usability" features.
  13. Re:Tab changes suck! on Firefox 2.0 RC2 Review · · Score: 1

    * type about:config on the location bar

    * change the preference browser.tabs.closeButton to value 3 to get the correct close button back

    * change the preference browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to something like 16 or 12 to prevent the stupid tab scroller from showing with just a few tabs opened

  14. Re:One key element... on Tricks of the Podcasting Masters · · Score: 1

    There are many sources for properly-licensed tracks that can be used on podcasts, I recommend the recently released CCHits, where the top tracks are promoted to the homepage on a Digg-like style and uses tags for categorization.
