    Parent is funny? where?

  2. Re:Everyone can see what they are trying to do... on UK Government Wants To Kill Net Neutrality In EU · · Score: 1

    hypocrite bastards

  3. root cause on EU Says MS Must Offer Other Browsers; Now What? · · Score: 1

    if the EC wants to solve the root cause they should
    (i) force MS to follow standards (ii) abrogate OEM contracts
    (iii) may be expose some recent MS cheap tricks such as
    the office pseudo open formats.

  4. Re:Hmm on Firefox Faster In Wine Than Native · · Score: 1

    same with me. This news surprised me as my experience is for FF to run as fast or faster in Ubuntu; next comes mac osx, and third windows. but of course there is nothing scientific or even objective in there.

  5. Re:Firefox security hole on Microsoft Update Slips In a Firefox Extension · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It isn't. First time you start firefox after the update it tells you about the new add on and you can delete it or disable it on the spot. Before that it will not work. I've got the ms update and was surprised myself (as I only run on demand ms updates, and review before installing, and it did not say it was installing this add on bundled in .not update)

  8. Re:Amazon MP3 Store on Apple Intros 17" Unibody MBP, DRM-Free iTunes · · Score: 1

    the store sells the file. DRM fee files can be edited anywhere
    you want, converted and truncated. don't need to convert to wav at all.
    I use vlc and audacity.

  9. Re:Indeed! on The Myth of Upgrade Inevitability Is Dead · · Score: 1

    Linux is ready for the desktop. Try Ubuntu and see for yourself.

  10. also those that enter the site address on City Sues To Prevent Linking To Its Website · · Score: 1

    they should also sue those that enter the site address manually. Why why not those that copy-pasted the site address? And the dns providers should be be sued as well, as well as google and all the search engines.

  11. wikia search on Google Unsure About Letting Users Vote On Search · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is what http://re.search.wikia.com/ is doing

  12. Re:DRM on Chronicling the Failures of DRM · · Score: 1

    Only little detail -- I still have the right to buy what suits me. If I don't like it I don't buy it. This is the issue. -- drm will fade away when there is no demand for it.

  13. Re:It's not M$'s fault... on Lenovo Requires NDA For Windows License Refund · · Score: 1

    It is MS fault and it is regulators fault for letting this type of contractual terms go on and it is OEM fault not to rebel. It is also consumer fault as most should know better by now.

  14. local privacy on IE8 Beta Released To Public · · Score: 1

    this privacy feature (as exists in safari) maybe misleading. afaik it only stops local logging + cookies. Your IP and ISP+others logging will continue.

  15. Re:My iPhone updated fine after a couple of glitch on Apple's IPhone 3G Firmware Update Bombs · · Score: 1

    you're right. bad mods happen more and more imo.
    (now for offtopic -- digg style mods are much better)

  16. Re:Asus on Vendors Rally While Windows Sleeps · · Score: 2, Informative

    The article does mention Asus --

    What Dell is really doing here is building the equivalent of a secondary Asus Eee PC into a full-featured, full-size laptop.

  17. Fine for me on Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? · · Score: 1

    Flash plugin from adobe works fine for me on firefof on ubuntu. Shockwave doesnt.

  18. Re:I hope he wins on UK Hacker Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 1

    Also hope he wins and as a funny side effect the uk gov has one ore reason to complain that the eu is taking away the power to "protect" its citizens

  19. Re:Just curious? BS! on UK Hacker Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 1

    The tiger was careless and he should do what he can to escape an out of proportion sentence

  20. Re:Use word on Modern LaTeX Replacement? · · Score: 1

    You clearly don't know what your are talking about. many linux distros are now much more user friendly than mswin (I use ubuntu), and nearly all online (as google docs) of local install wp (like kword) are easier/faster/more predictable than msword.

  21. Re:Wua.la on GDocs vs. ThinkFree vs. Zoho vs. MS Office · · Score: 1

    a good thing about online docs is the robust and clear version control. you know who edited what and when, and you can revert to previous version. not like the clumsy revision and track changes of ms office + unlogged file changes

  22. Re:Webapps offline on GDocs vs. ThinkFree vs. Zoho vs. MS Office · · Score: 1

    most (including google docs) already have a offline+synv feature. still bulky but improving.

  23. of course it is on Making the Switch To Windows "Workstation" 2008 · · Score: 3, Informative

    (c) limits the licensee right to make copies (you can't except fair use or if the license says otherwise as in GPL). Does not oblige the author to make or sell any copies if he doesn't want to.

  24. Re:Scary -- yes it is on Blizzard Wins Major Lawsuit Against Bot Developers · · Score: 1

    I don't want to chase anything.
    They should chase the needles.
    Anyway they can sue whoever they
    want.
    What I think is wrong is to uphold
    their claim, as it may serve other
    less-legitimate/understandable claims

  25. Re:Scary -- yes it is on Blizzard Wins Major Lawsuit Against Bot Developers · · Score: 1

    imho the decision is dangerous.
    proper tools for proper problems. if the issue is stopping cheating, sue or stop the users. not the bot developer and definitely not the concept of sw programs talking to one another.
