  1. Re:Combo Button is hateful. on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I guess now they run a generic score keeper (like in the firehose or on reddit) in the background and compare moderations to these scores in order to rate the fairness of the moderations.

    Have you meta-moderated recently?

    The UI has changed.

    It doesn't have to if there's a common widget toolkit API.

    E.g. 'Give me a new window with a tabbed interface', the toolkit can worry about the platform-specificity.

    Just curious how that helps. I guess you can always zoom in, but more text on the same sized screen == smaller text.

  22. Re:Let it die. on The Music Industry's Crisis Writ Large · · Score: 1

    One of the things I discovered was that clean sound can be very loud without bothering listeners, whereas dirty or poorly equalized sound can be annoying at almost any volume.

    This, a signal with more noise/distortion will also do more damage at the same volume.

    the LED TV you're thinking about is only LED backlit

    Wow, I hadn't looked into it. I'd assumed this wonderful new LED TV I'd heard about was, you know, an LED TV -- not an LED backlit LCD TV. Talk about false advertising, I hope they get slapped for that.
