  1. Re:Be Fair! on 4 New "Extremely Critical" IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    HTML+TIME, more powerful than SMIL.

  2. shhhhhhhhhh on Is Finding Security Holes a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    don't say that, otherwise there will be no more IT security jobs!

  3. Re:Just goes to show... on Security Holes in CVS and Subversion Found · · Score: 1

    I'm suprised more network services (smtp, web, ftp) aren't being written either entirely in these languages

    smtp: Apache James
    web: Apache Tomcat

  4. Re:Bad Coding = Security Holes on Hardened PHP · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why protected at an upper level, if you can protect at a lower level? It's more robust to enforce security at a lower level than to rely on good programming practices!

  5. Re:Problems ? on Projected 'Average' Longhorn System Is A Whopper · · Score: 1

    but 1 TB of storage, what the hell for ?

    Maybe Microsoft is going to absorb eMule to rule the P2P networks?

  6. Re:Google hosting on How Many Google Machines, Really? · · Score: 1

    just one more step to replacing Microsoft as the evil monopoly.

    And then /.'ers will start saying "Google, that evil monopoly" and will hate it.

  7. OMG... on Another Fan-Made TRON Costume · · Score: 1

    this is what happens when you have too much time in your hands... what's next, chewie costume???

  8. Social Impact on Wi-Fi Security Robots? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Did anyone thought of the social impacts these "wifi robots" can bring? i mena, here at Portugal this kind of job is usually done by retired men and young people that couldn't find another job. If these robots substitute humans, more unemployed people will appear. Social-unfriendly technology isn't the way to go, IMHO.

  9. (zombie mode) must sleep... must sleep on Projectionists Using Night Vision Goggles in Theaters · · Score: 1

    read it as "Projectionists Using Night Vision GOOGLES in Theaters"... damn :S

  10. Re:Power Power Power on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Keeping data and presentation separate is still the best thing to do. But that's why we have CSS. So unless you're still using tables, font tags or whatnot, you're not integrating data and presentation.

    I think you are wrong... CSS splits STRUCTURE from PRESENTATION. DATA is what you put between tags. You can have the same structure with diferent data instances, presented in several diferent forms. Oh, BTW, php, asp, jsp are BAD ways of using this kind of design. Try using XML/XSLT/CSS to unleash the true power of web...

  11. Re:Not very important for me on Sun Agrees to Talk to IBM over Open Sourcing Java · · Score: 3, Informative

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption uses Java as its game scripting language, as described here (free reg required) under the "What Went Right" section, 3rd topic (3. Using Java as a scripting engine.). I guess it pretty much says it!!!

  12. Re:Of course you can have... on A Power Users Look at Linux on the Mac · · Score: 1

    I don't agree. Nearly everything you have in linux, you can have it already compiled (or at least in source code) to MacOS X. Regarding apps, this deals with them. Kernel realiability, *BSD legacy handles it very well. GUI, well... it's a mac, its responsiveness is at an upper level, comparing with ANY linux GUI. It even has a X server just in case you want to run anything based on it.

  13. Weird left-handed people on Sign Your Name Online With A Mouse · · Score: 1

    I'm left-handed but i use my mouse with the right hand... I know it's weird but I can't sign my name with the right hand. I guess the solution ain't solution to everybody!

  14. V:TM on Underworld Trailer · · Score: 1

    hummm, vampires and werewolves... Vampire: The Masquerade anyone?

  15. Something about the 'backwards-apostrophe' on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    [...] And my PC keyboards all waste plastic on a backwards-apostrophe key [...]

    Well, you know, that backwards-apostrophe you talk about, amongst other things, is used in many countries (Portugal, France, Spain, etc.) as a vowel accent (e.g. à, è, ì, ò, ù...).
    And you should also know that it's used in many unix shells to run commands and pipe the output.

    Sometimes when you think that there's no use in a key, someone else created good ways to use them.


    Just a thought...

  16. Brute force it on Israeli Firm Claims Unbreakable Encryption · · Score: 1
    If they claim unbreakable encryption, how in the hell should they be able to decrypt the information?

    This way we can have two options:
    1. Give me enough time and enough cpu cycles that i can break any encryption...
    2. Steal the keys

  17. Mini CDRW on Dell Dropping The Floppy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Heck, why just they use those mini CDRW's of about 150MB? Just throw into the package a bunch of them! Label them as 'FREE' and you will se that people will start buying it!

    Just a thought...

  18. R.I.P. on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1

    Even here in Portugal, where I live, a small country we were affected by what happened. We had some scientific projects regarding living in space that could result in good information for future space projects (like man in mars).
