  1. Re:MS, basic research? on Inside the Labs At HP, Microsoft and IBM · · Score: 1

    MS has researched Basic and developed Commodore Basic, Apple Basic (if I remember right), MS Basic & Visual Basic...

  2. Re:If you didn't do anything wrong, on DDoS Attack On Wikileaks Increasing · · Score: 1

    I would go further and say: government, by eroding every day people's privacy for your little games you lost your right to have any privacy yourself. Now get over it and stop complaining.

  3. Re:Static IPv6 addresses for everyone. on Peter Sunde Wants To Create Alternative To ICANN · · Score: 1

    But you are going to remember thousands of domain names?

    How about bookmarking the IP Numbers?

    I only use IP numbers when I am doing things like SSH sessions to keep of MITM attacks...

    I would have none trouble using IP only in my browser when needed, and that time is nearing fast.

  4. Re:Not so fast... on The Luck of the Irish Runs Out · · Score: 1

    Europe should be clear that if a large company threaten to leave one of it's countries that the company will lose it's right to operate on the European market.

  5. Re:Private Certificate Authority on SSL Certificates For Intranet Sites? · · Score: 1

    You are right but it is only cost neutral for a certain size of company, large ones are better off doing in house CA practices and the price of a CA is often too steep for small companies.

    A variant would work if all browser user were technical enough to download and install a browser, that is a central in house downloadable copy with that root installed in the browser.

  7. Re:Private Certificate Authority on SSL Certificates For Intranet Sites? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sorry, but every certificate authority is manually distributed at some point, the verizon's of this planet included, they just have the convenience that browser manufacturers do that for them.

    The most automatic way to do what the main requester wants is to set up that certificate authority and roll out your browsers automatically after adding that certificate authority it's root to that browser.

    I do not know any other way to do this automatically.

  8. Re:What the hell is the fuss about on Organs of UK Nuclear Workers Secretly Harvested; Energy Secretary Apologizes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But these people are dead. If I'm dead, and the government removes organs from my body, then they're not violating MY rights, simply because *I* don't exist anymore. (You may disagree if you believe in the concept of an immortal soul, of course.)

    They violate the rights and feelings of your living family members.

    That is not entirely true, you have a personal cable, but the DSLAM unit in the telephone operators building is shared mostly with 100/50/20/10 other subscribers, only the most expensive business DSL subscriptions come with a 1:1 congestion.

    No, if you copy my car and give it away, there is a distinction between the 2.

  11. Re:What are the negative consequences? on Gosling Reacts To Apple's Java Deprecation · · Score: 1

    To play advocate of the devil here, since I care less about either Apple nor Java, isn't the side effect that Apple's competition in the phones world got a boot from the platform that is owned by the owners of iPhone?
    I do not know what the implications are on the longer term but on the short term it causes their competition to spend time setting up new development environments, and diminished looking over the shoulders into the Apple technical world as developers are not going to keep up with that if they can't work from that platform anyway.

  12. Re:Internet Terrorism on Gene Simmons Threatens Anonymous Again and Gets DDoS'd · · Score: 1

    Anonymous is not a homogeneous group of people, they are more like your random person in the street, anonymous can be a small group of 13 year olds having fun with DDossing a douchebag in this case.

    If you rise up high in this world, there is always the risk to fall deep, especially when one has a big mouth, a lot of people tend to have problems with big mouths.

    I think that it is a great loss for Murdoch, like Berlusconi he is more interested in using his opinion channels to influence every day live and politics than making a direct buck from it.
    10.000 people reading his bias is generating way less influence than 10.000.000 people doing that, personally this makes me happy not sad.

  15. Re:Good thing on Why the Web Mustn't Become the New TV · · Score: 2, Insightful

    >>>Yet television, by its nature, tugs to the Right.

    Maybe in the UK but not in the US. The networks of ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and MSNBC all lean left and it's been that way since the 1950s. The only right-leaning channel is FOX News and that's a recent development (it didn't pass 50% coverage until 2002). .

    All these stations (and most opinion) are center to right wing from the point of view in my country, people from the US hardly know what is left wing due to the dominant right wing bias prevailing for centuries. Though even in my country the majority of people are shifting to the right.

    Problem is that people have a choice to either dictatorial left wing or indifference right wing, both are extremely corrosive last 30 years, and since people mostly want to be left alone they choose for indifference.

    Anyway, the shift towards centralized internet and away from internet on the edges is in full swing because the powers that be are more afraid and paranoid then ever in history, their paranoid is also fed by being able to measure more precise.

    Maybe it's time they speed up their process a little?
    Hopefully then they wont be passed by reality which develops at a much faster pace.
    And then maybe they can avoid painful hiccups like XHTML 1, 1.5 and 2?

    They started off great but more and more they are a waste of money and resources.

    Yes, but the frequency range above that is called ambiance and people might not hear that directly but they really do notice when it is absent.

    Unless severely handicapped in hearing most people really notice the sound difference between a dead room and a concert hall and the difference is most notable in that 20kHz up range.
