  1. Re:IE8 performance? on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign · · Score: 1

    Eek, guess I forgot to upload that last change. Anyway, properly escaped the content now, but that doesn't make any difference for IE8.

  2. Re:"Ease of Use" on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign · · Score: 2, Informative

    After some investigation I did find the "Accelerators", seems to be a collection of plugins to do things with selected text (other than searching the internet).
    According to the help "Web Slices" appear to be special features offered by websites. So unless a website supports that you won't have any use for it. It's probably some advanced RSS feature, or widget like thing.
    But "Visual Search Suggestions" remains an unknown feature.

  3. "Ease of Use" on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Features like Accelerators, Web Slices and Visual Search Suggestions make Internet Explorer 8 easiest to use.

    I have absolutely no idea what those things are, or for that matter where in IE8 you can find them.

  4. IE8 performance? on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Ok, so this may be a single case. But I once made an interesting animation using nothing but html, css and javascript (flash to play back an mp3). It worked perfectly on all browsers (firefox, chrome, opera, safari, msie 6 and msie 7). But it quite broken in MSIE8, the performance is absolutely terrible on my laptop (which is the only machine I installed IE8 on) which wasn't the case before. The animation contains movement of animating gifs, in IE8 they don't animate properly.

    The site in question: http://www.idleballad.com/

  5. Re:Locks only keep honest people honest on German Parliament Enacts Internet Censorship Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Instead if trying to filter the websites, why don't they try to close them down?

  6. Re:...and? on Team Fortress 2 SDK Update Includes Source Files For 10 Maps · · Score: 1

    It's more that the editor for the UnrealEngine operates directly on the executable.

  7. Before we're going to measure anything on Ideal, and Actual, IT Performance Metrics? · · Score: 1

    Can you please explain what defines "IT performance" so that we know what we have to measure.

  8. Re:Does he know what the Wii is? on Ubisoft CEO Says Next Gen Consoles Closer Than We Think · · Score: 1

    Depends on how you measure popular. If you could hours of gaming, then the Wii isn't very popular. If you could install base, then the Wii is only popular if you exclude PC and older consoles. If you measure games being bought, then the Wii isn't popular either.

  9. Re:Well, 5 years has always been the standard on Ubisoft CEO Says Next Gen Consoles Closer Than We Think · · Score: 1
  10. Looks more like Sid on Mono Squeezed Into Debian Default Installation · · Score: 3, Informative

    The commit was done on Debian unstable, which is Sid, not Squeeze.

  11. Re:Seems pointless on ESRB Eyeballing Ratings For iPhone Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    so why would the ESRB need to get involved?

    Probably pressure from "concerned parents" and/or government officials.

  12. When done right on Are Code Reviews Worth It? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Code Reviews are useful when they are done right. But before you start using code reviews you should introduce automated static analysis of the code during the builds. A lot of crap can be discovered by static analysis. This saves you a lot of effort on the tedious parts of code reviews.

  13. Re:Not for cat people on Why Natal Is a Big Deal · · Score: 1

    "Interesting"!? WTH!?
    Two days ago I received a "Funny" for the same comment.

  14. Not for cat people on Why Natal Is a Big Deal · · Score: 5, Funny

    Project Natal adds a new dimension for your cat to bother you while playing games.

  15. Not for cat people on Nintendo Unconcerned By Motion-Control Competitors · · Score: 4, Funny

    Project Natal adds a new dimension for your cat to bother you while playing games.

  16. Re:Take away the cloud on Google vs. Microsoft On the Desktop · · Score: 4, Funny

    Indeed, "Save to the cloud" should be renamed to "Vaporize".

  17. Now test HTTPS performance on Opera 10 Benchmarked and Evaluated · · Score: 1

    How well does Opera Turbo work with sites that use secure connections?

  18. url? on Buying a Domain From a Cybersquatter · · Score: -1, Redundant

    What's the domain name we're talking about?

  19. Re:industry insiders on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 1

    So, the future will be something a lot of people don't like? With the result being the same "mess" we have now (e.g. downloading of illegally distributed music).
    And, if the insiders are only going to predict what the companies what to hear, then what's the use in the first place. Why not simply buy parrots.

  20. industry insiders on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What do they know? If there was some knowledge in the industry about the future we wouldn't have the mess we have right now.

  21. Filed in 1994 on Judgement Against Microsoft Declares XML Editing Software To Be Worth $98? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Granted in 1998.

    It took them that long to sue MS?

  22. new features on SourceForge To Acquire Development Portal Ohloh.net · · Score: 1

    I hope they finally start adding the popular feature requests. Like ignoring certain paths in a repository.

  23. "even needed to make their own physics engine" on Speaking With the Blizzard Cinematics Team · · Score: 1

    they even needed to make their own physics engine

    You mean, like pretty much everybody else back then?

  24. Re:Eclipse on What Free IDE Do You Use? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Also a great feature of eclipse is that you can install multiple copies of it on the same machine.
    This is specially useful because MANY plugins make eclipse slow. So for every major project environment (i.e. Java, or PHP, or PDT, ...) I have a separate eclipse install.

  25. Re:World's "Fastest" Small Web Server Released, Ba on World's "Fastest" Small Web Server Released, Based On LISP · · Score: 1

    But Konrad Zuse doesn't have a beard, so Plankalkül doesn't count.
