    i don't have the thing myself, so i couldn't tell

    This used to break the java plugin if you tried to load a page (I'm not sure if this was ever fixed)

    I think it's fair to say if its displaying anything more than green on black it's bloated.

    I know Royal Bank of Scotland still use these, but most others seem to have switched to a more 'useful' colourful interface.

    Now that is a familiar name. I once accedentally joined (and for whatever reason didnt leave) an irc channel where agobot was being used and updated on about 60 users. Perhaps this was a beta testing of the worm, but it was still trying to actively infect users back in October '03. At the time I submitted that exe to symantec and it was promptly included in the next defs.

  16. Re:Come on guys... on Apple Sued in France for iPod Music Royalties · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's actually a pot shot at the French government's asinine law rather than at Microsoft. Nobody can deny that most viruses are written for Windows.

    Is this console exclusivity or won't it be reaching the PC at all. They've been vauge in the past and having just released 3 & 4 for the xbox I expect that cash will speak the loudest words.

    As a condition to Microsoft before it could establish VC-9 as a standard, it had to strip VC-9 of proprietary status, Majidimehr said. The company satisfied that condition when it submitted the underlying video compression technology to SMPTE last year and opened up its software to developers for the first time. Now developers can download the technical spec, build on it and not be beholden to Microsoft.
    Unlike some submitters, I RTFA :-)
  25. Re:Like Boston? on NYC Crosswalk Buttons are Inoperative · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most of the buttons over here do actually work, even on junctions. On junctions what usually happens is that there is a basic car sequence and, when the button is pressed, a pedestrian phase is added.
