  1. Re:So how will Apple react to this? on 1200-Baud Archeology · · Score: 1

    and so are pointless replies. grand-parent makes you think. yours (parent) does not.

  2. Re:Requires Winblows on Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World · · Score: 1

    That's what I also said in another post (that its works on ff for win and the team says they will release mac and linux version). Anyway the parent comment is only stating a valid opinion. thats not troll.

  3. Re:Requires Winblows on Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    parent is not troll imho. what is going on? I have seen lots of anti-ms comments being buried recently. Conspiracy theory?

  4. Re:Requires Winblows on Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World · · Score: 1

    works on firefox for win as well. And they promise to release mac and linux versions

  5. pathetic microsoft on Firefox Users Stay Ahead On the Update Curve · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's unbelievable how pathetic ms is. I use a win xp (my employers pc) a mac and a ubuntu linux box at home. mac and ubuntu are fats straightforward and clean for updates. same for firefox on the 3 os. the mess is always with ms, with server not responding, trying to install and failing. This morning it did the the ms stupid thing. asked if I wanted to read some article on security (!), then tried to open a docx (amazing) which did not download at ald and stalled the stupid ie (which is only used for ms updates and some ms only applications like sharepoint).

  6. Re:Apple on Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells · · Score: 1

    I think this is called free market. If you don't like it don't buy it.

  7. the wrong way on Is Apple Tracking iPhone Users Through IMEI? · · Score: 1

    they are definetly going the wrong way here
    (as they did so many times), and will pay
    a dear price.

  8. title is wrong on EU Think Tank Urges Full Windows Unbundling · · Score: 1

    or at least misleading. it is not about windows unbundling (i.e. splitting it in parts), but unbundling windows from the hardware (i.e. making the ms oem contracts illegal). these oem contract are anticompetitive, and should have been prohibited a long time ago. imho of course

  9. Re:Just one question on EU Commissioner Calls For Censorship of Web Search · · Score: 1

    funny his web page at http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/frattini/index_en.htm I am the Vice President of the European Commission. I am responsible for Freedom, Security and Justice. These web pages tell you about my key priorities which include: Fundamental Rights and citizenship (...)

    i just hope you are wrong -- that the Internet will stay free, but what you say is terribly right

  11. Re:You don't have to imagine -- crash on High-Quality HD Content Can't Easily Be Played by Vista · · Score: 5, Funny

    In the case of MS, how would the crash tests rate? (vs. the clone)?

  12. Re:For those who don't RTFA on Proposed Amendment Would Ban All DVD Copying · · Score: 1

    for me napster was --
    1) the efficient way to find near out of market songs
    2) a way to escape the buy-15-tracks-or-none implicit in the cd business

  13. Re:Oh wow... on YouTube Goes International · · Score: 1

    youTube is accessible worldwide, just like most of the
    internet content, be it from the US or anywhere.

  14. Re:Why there's nobody fighting: on Europe's Galileo Program In Serious Trouble · · Score: 1

    At least for now IMHO English is just
    a practical way to communicate.
    And it is a second language, in some
    cases the third.

  15. Re:Headache for EU negotiators on Turkey Censors YouTube · · Score: 1

    To join the EU you have to implement a number of rules and principles (called the acquis comunautaire) that goes far beyond the merely economic.

  16. Re:Security Footage on In France, Only Journalists Can Film Violence · · Score: 1

    There area treaties in place and the European Court of Justice can declare the draft illegal

  17. Re:share pictures on Firefox Creator No Longer Trusts Google · · Score: 1

    Is it irrelevant to try a variation of the search words? I don't think so. People use different search terms, if you just cover one will miss a lot of queries. Just don't conclude too quickly about what others did or say, and stay polite.

  18. share pictures on Firefox Creator No Longer Trusts Google · · Score: 1

    I just googled for share pictures and there were i) 2 ads by third parties ii) search results with solutions from yahoo, microsoft and and copycats (picato and the like). Picasa came at the end of the second page. The opposite of self promotion, imho.

  19. Re:ban images? on Spam Doubles, Finding New Ways to Deliver Itself · · Score: 1

    imho -- 3 negative consequences of spam:
    1) your inbox is crowede with junk -- easy to fix with a good filter
    2) you may miss important messages from unknown serous people -- less easy to fix,
    creates a propblem if you want to be tajken seriously by very busy inbox owners
    3) all the crap the servers and nw have to handle -- this is a serous problem, from a community point of view.

  20. Re:It's fine for Google to do that on Google's Silent Monopoly · · Score: 1

    Monopolies only become a problem when they stop doing what's in the best interests of the customers -- sorry -- i don't agree, as well as most economists incl nobel prizes -- monopolies are a problem always due to their pricing power and much more.

    clueless judges and greedy newspapers. if they don't understand the way the www works they better revert to print only.

  24. Re:No-Brainer on EU May Push for Competitive Spectrum Trading · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't know how the system works in europe. You can roam everywhere in europe for a long long time (much before you could do it in the US)

  25. Re:Interesting... collect before or after on EU Court Blocks Passenger Data Deal with U.S. · · Score: 1

    afaik the whole point is to collect the data before
    passengers board, so that when the plane is on its way
    the data can be analyzed and the plane (if needed) diverted
    or that special passengers getting a grill from US customs.

    so collect at arrival is no solution. may be collect on the way
    and submitted during the flight -- It would require quite some
    worked to put it to work short term.
