  1. I don't understand on Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    how this can be a beta, yet 'several security and crash bugs have been fixed during the beta release cycle', so this beta release is more stable than the supposedly stable 1.6 release?

  2. Quoth Linus on Linus Corrects Darl on Copyright Law · · Score: 5, Funny

    It has... :)

  5. It would be nice on A Glimpse Into 3D future: DirectX Next Preview · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If they could somehow program Dx10 so it was backwards compatiable with cards now (such as radeon 9800 etc), if I'd bought such a card I'd be quite annoyed if there wasn't decent support for it in the future.

  6. This is great on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Even though I don't use Thunderbird (I use Firebird and hotmail as it's simpler) this is definitely a step forward for Mozilla.org and the open source community as a whole.

  8. Cuh on AT&T Wireless Fumbles Number Portability · · Score: 5, Funny

    Most notably former AT&T customers can expect to wait up to a week for their number to switch
    Why wait when you have Captain Crunch?

  9. I think on ViewSonic AirPanel v150 Review at Ars Technica · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is more bandwidth the key to making these things more palatable?
    I think better use of the available bandwidth is more important than more bandwidth. You can have all the bandwidth you want, but if it doesn't use it properley, then it'll still be a poor piece of equipment.

  10. So basically on Dread Empire's Fall: The Praxis · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The books are shit, but the effort was there. And that's the main thing.

  11. Geneva on WSIS to Consider Internet Governance Under U.N. · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why do so many world summits seem to be held at Geneva? Is there something I'm missing?

  15. You haven't really on Review of Squeezebox MP3 Player · · Score: 5, Interesting

    said any advantage this mp3 player has over other ones, would there really be any point in upgrading from my current mp3 player? It would be nice if you could discuss those points.

  17. Weird place to have it on 96 Hours Of Open Source Talks In Bangalore · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You don't really see Bangalore as being the Capital of Open Source, I would have thought a more appropriate place would be Finland.

    Hmm. One out of three isn't bad.

  22. This is certainly on Google AdWords And Ethics Issues · · Score: 1, Interesting

    a bad idea. One of the reasons I know many people use google is purely because it's unfiltered and unrestricted. Millions use Google every day, changing anything major now could spell catastrophy.

    free access to the scientific tools of modern biology and genetics
    I just had a debate about this a mere 30 minutes ago, what with all the cloning etc going at the moment, this isn't always a good thing. I think the information the public at large get should be carefully monitored. We wouldn't want people being able to clone themselves at home.

    Someone commits one offence and for the rest of their lives their life isnt the public's hands? I guess if you can't do the time don't do the crime, but still...
