  1. Re:It's a secret plot, and they succeeded! on Windows Mobile 6.5 Launched, Panned · · Score: 1

    I've run ActiveSync for over a year and never had this issue.. I think you have a config problem, or possibly some weird broken installation of something.

  2. Re:But it's not Windows! on The Story of a Simple and Dangerous OS X Kernel Bug · · Score: 1

    Because the first thing someone does when they find a vulnerability is to report it. They wouldn't want to sell it for $100K or so to the top bidder.

  3. Re:Astroturf... on Gaming the App Store · · Score: 1

    On the phone side Apple is just Microsoft with better spin.

    I believe you mean Apple is just being Apple. MS has a phone OS and it is open, astroturfing unecessary as the gatekeeper is better handled.

  4. Re:Taxable income on Apple To Ship Mac OS X Snow Leopard On August 28 · · Score: 1

    I hadn't thought of that. It is rather tricky.

    I agree with you on the proper way to report it, but then again, I don't agree with the SEC on charging for adding features either.

    Please explain how the Zune update was free.

  6. Re:DRM? on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    I've never run into the broadcast flag, perhaps you should talk to your cable company about that? I have comcast so you can see why I am thoroughly surprised.

    I own the media, but I can't rip it to my hard drive

    Windows has never gotten in your way of doing anything. If we can conclude something, it's that you have failed at multimedia.

    Don't forget to mention that Netscape started to kill itself! Bloated and buggy.

    interlacing by definition means every other scanline.

  10. Re:Apple and Linux, too? on Opera CTO Thinks IE Will Be Forced To Support SVG · · Score: 1

    Apple certainly won't be doing it anytime soon, since they emphasize integration between programs so much.

    As did Microsoft, but you see where that got them.

  11. Re:Why does someone have a $300-$400 console but n on Are Console Developers Neglecting Their Standard-Def Players? · · Score: 1

    Standard def is 640x480 interlaced, vs hi def's 1920x1080 progressive. That's 13.5 times the pixels, or a 1350% increase.

  12. Re:only 150k lines of code? on 0 A.D. Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    150K lines of code for that is too much. There's probably all kinds of stuff that could be simplified.

    RTFsummary.

  14. MS Surface? on Sony Files Patent On "Any-Object" Motion Control · · Score: 0

    I've seen surface videos where everyday objects were recognized, not to mention someone else pointed out OpenCV. Seems like Sony has been blindfolded for this kind of stuff.

    no one cares so much anymore until they get stuck with a machine that is MS Office only and loathe the slowness plus lack of useful features.

  17. Nice thought, bad planning on Bike Projector Makes Lane For Rider · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Lasers? We're worried enough about people shining them at airplanes on purpose. Now we'd have to worry about one straying off the road and hitting a driver in the eye who would then likely cause an accident. Good intentions, possibly rethink the implimentation.

    Imagine you are out in the field and want to (re)install something... Keep the fragile DVD with you at all times?

    What if it's a volume license, where you only get 1 DVD for a large number of users... Burn a disc for each one of them (and reburn each time the disc goes bad/broke) ?

    It's very easy porting GDI apps to WinCE, can any other platform say that?

    ObjC is slow and not often used.
    The platform/tools are pretty standard.
    The types of games are very different from regular/bigger projects.
