  1. Re:Performance on Linux Kernel To Have Stable Userspace Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With the new kernel scheduler and, now, the userland api, things are starting to get a lot more interesting...

  2. Re:What gets me.. on "Show Us the Code" Breaks Its Silence · · Score: 1

    I do wonder if a law suit could be placed against them in civil court to force them to produce the list of violations. Thoughts anyone?

  3. Re:The browser could more easily check the domain on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 1

    I fall to see how a domain cert would protect against Cross Site Scripting. Just need to visit one page or url that injects content into the results of a site with a cert or fall victum to a XSS proxy and such measures do nothing to stop it.

  4. How will this stop XSS on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The title says it all. A new top level domain won't stop this. Yes, there are browser extensions and features that can help detect such things or stop them, but again, how does a new domain play into all of this?

  5. Re:Can I just, also, say Extended Cookie Manager? on Behavioral Search & Advertising On Its Way? · · Score: 1

    All very good points. Just installed httprefer...thanks ^.^

  6. Re:Can I just, also, say Extended Cookie Manager? on Behavioral Search & Advertising On Its Way? · · Score: 1

    It seems I can.

    With the ease of use that which NoScript provides that focuses on cookies.

  7. Zfs on Solaris 10, OpenSolaris, FreeBSD... on Open Source Highly Available Storage Solutions? · · Score: 1

    What about the ZFS that runs on one the above listed OS's? Easy to manage, grow, seemless usage from the user's point of view, etc...

  8. Re:Okay, modders on Apple TV "Barely Watchable" · · Score: 1

    The mod I am waiting for is getting MythTV to easily work with the Apple remote.

  9. Re:funny on The Real Reasons Phones Are Kept Off Planes · · Score: 1

    I once asked a pilot of a small Cessna, why they ban the use of cellphones during a flight and told me that when they allowed it in the past, sometimes it would add add static to their pilot's radio signal in their headsets. Whether or nor this is true, I have no idea, since I was not allowed to test the theory.

  10. Re:Probably not fair use. on Students Sue Anti-Plagiarism Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My few cents: This still would not cover them storing copies of papers and other content from their webcrawlers. I have no problem search-engines storing my work in a search-cache, but I do not like turnitin holding copies of my work, and so far their webcrawlers still do not comply with a my sites htaccess, nor offer a easy way to contact them to stop indexing a site and purge copies they stored within their database via their own website. I suppose I could configure a webserver to ban their spiders, but I really should not have to do that.

  11. Re:A bad move for Borders on Borders Closes the Books on Amazon · · Score: 2, Informative

    I always found Borders other website far nicer to use and order from.

  12. Re:shhh... can you hear that sound? on CD Music Sales Down 20% In Q1 2007 · · Score: 1

    I have bought more cd's over the last year than in past years, but more than half of them were used and out of print music.

  13. Re:N? on Wireless Routers for Congested Areas? · · Score: 1

    Another option is Power Over Ethernet via power outlet (forget the name for this). If one has an appartment-- just encrypt all traffic.

  14. Re:My experience with 6.10 on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - Desktop Linux Matured · · Score: 1

    Try using xvidtune to configure your monitor settings directly. I was having the same problems you had when I got a new LCD and this was the only thing worked.

  15. Re:No, at least not for Ubuntu Re:no NO NO! on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - Desktop Linux Matured · · Score: 0, Troll

    Since you know so much about it-- have you considered fixing it yourself and sharing a patch or getting someone you know to do it?

  16. Re:Video link on How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People · · Score: 1

    I am all for tagging. Just one thing-- am I the only one who looks at the url address before opening a new tab/window?

  17. Re:Take a good look.. on Purdue Unveils a Tricorder · · Score: 1

    Would be interesting to have such a device in a lighter form that could scan something and inform a person if it is safely eatable or not; it would be a must have for survival package.

  18. Re:Capacity drop? on Google Opens Gmail To All · · Score: 1

    Yes, one can do that now in gmail-- setting it up is in the account settings. From what I have heard some people still do not have access to this feature, but soon will be usable by all.

  19. Re:Clippy did its job... Unfortunatly. on The Death of Clippy · · Score: 1

    Personally, I rather enjoyed hunting the registry to kill Clippy in every MS Office install that I had admin access too.

  20. Re:Capacity drop? on Google Opens Gmail To All · · Score: 1

    But you can keep your old addresses and have your gmail account slurp that messages in other pop accounts. So unless you do not have pop access, that argument doesn't hold water-- all Google or all of us Gmail users have to do is point this fact out.

  21. Re:It's the $$$ Stupid on The Death Of CS In Education? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know that at my school there has been a massive drop in students from out of the country-- mainly Japan, China, India, Asia, etc. I wonder if it has anything to do with outsourcing, cheaper degrees elsewhere, or a shift in what people prefer to major in.

  22. Re: morbo on Matt Groening Talks About Futurama's Comeback · · Score: 1

    One of my favorites was when Bender had a nightmare and said, "I dreamt that there were ones and zeros everyone. And, I think I saw a two!"

  23. Re:Bah humbug. on America's Worst Christmas Parties · · Score: 1

    I agree...when I briefly worked at Home Depot (college students need money) our store gave us 20 percent off coupons for xmass, while management got huge bonus's. They gave us the gift that would further give to themselves... how thoughtful of them... I hate greedy corporations.

  24. Re:Wrong. on Spam Doubles, Finding New Ways to Deliver Itself · · Score: 1

    I have noticed that if I send email to certain domains I almost instantly recieve spam. In fact that is the only time I get spam on my gmail account or when those people email me. So there appears to be a problem of email traffic being sniffed and harvesting addresses to spam... I bet if those machines were stopped the level of spam would go down dramatically

  25. Re:GnuCash 2.0 on Managing Money With Linux Apps · · Score: 1

    You might be able to get GNUCash working on MS Windows via Cygwin. Has anyone tried this?
