  1. Re:Censorship? Editorial control? on Friendster Fights Fakesters · · Score: 1

    No, you're not paying attention at all! The only thing that makes friendster any good or in anyway appealing is being able to say to your friends "Check out Robo-Jesus." It would just be a stupid dating service without the fakesters and no one would bother looking at lots of banner ads while finding the next "Emo Kid."

    They have a right to screw up their service, but they are moronic Stalinists for doing it.

  2. Jumping all over the funny Gattaca post... on DNA Extraction From Fingerprints · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Call me crazy, but raise your hand if you saw Gattaca and thought "Gee, that's a bright and well adjusted future. What do you mean Dystopian?" I sure as hell did.

  3. Plotting against Microsoft on Mozilla Gets (Beta) Native SVG support · · Score: 5, Funny

    If this SVG patch became fully useable for displaying animation, and then you could convince a really popular animation site (say, HSR) to switch to SVG and recommend a switch to Mozilla for native support... well, then, open source could rule the world.

  4. Re:#1 Reason why DVD-R is a must at work... on Blow the Whistle, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    You have to wonder why the mainpage article called child porn "illegal goodies." That's a little weird.

  5. Re:Who needs a smart display? on Transmeta OK'd for Mira Displays · · Score: 1

    You are not alone in your curiosity. I haven't the slightest clue what one even is. And the article is no help.

  6. Re:Light-weight alright ;o) on HTML Rendering Crashes IE · · Score: 1

    I instantly got to work making this a companion page to my JavaBomb (a JavaScript pop-up bomb that also works only in IE), and found that interestingly (to me), the bug does not work when couched between <BODY></BODY> tags, but that <TITLE></TITLE> tags are fine.

    So this works:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Crashing IE</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE CRASH>
    </FORM>
    </HTML>

    But this one not so much:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Crashing IE</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE CRASH>
    </FORM>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    Which as far as I'm concerned is odd.

  7. Further Proof of the Brilliance of the RIAA on RIAA Settles Suits Against Students · · Score: 2, Insightful
    From the article:
    ...said RIAA Senior Vice President Matt Oppenheim in a statement. "We have also sent a clear signal to others that this kind of activity is illegal."
    Because a non-precedent setting out of court settlement always sends a clear signal about the illegality of an act and couldn't possibly be the result of a cost/benefit analysis of a settlement vs. attorney fees.

  8. Alcohol on Martin Michlmayr Wins DPL · · Score: 1

    I get the feeling his suggestion of getting drunk with other developers helped. ~

  9. Yeah, no, I get it. on Science Project Quadruples Surfing Speed - Reportedly · · Score: 1

    Yes, you're incredulous. Yes, it's impossible. Yes it is 1500 lines a day. Yes, the article's poorly written. Yes, you will eat something highly unlikely. I get it. Now watch me dance.

  11. Whinging [not sic] on Techies Working for Peanuts · · Score: 1
    • Some high-tech employees who have looked into equity-only jobs and haven't accepted them because they're skeptical.


    Horribly off topic complaining:
    While, yes, online journalistic standards are low, would it kill this guys to run a grammar check? Reading this poorly edited, nonsequitor-laden tripe is like pain, but worse.

  12. New Hardware Boycott on Neuros - Portable MP3 player, FM radio, Digital Recorder · · Score: 1

    If it can't be ported into the back of my head, then forget it.
