  1. It make your penis bigger and harder! on Firefox 3 May Be More Memory Efficient Than Either IE or Opera · · Score: 4, Funny

    It goes something like this:

    IE > exploit > botnet > spam > viagra and penis enlargement sales > "you".

  2. Crash on Firefox 3 May Be More Memory Efficient Than Either IE or Opera · · Score: 1

    I've not read some text but I expected the drop to be from closing tabs, but Opera let you undo that so I guess that's why it wasn't freed.
    Anyway, you post was probably a joke but look at the Safari graph?!!

    In any case Safari 3.0 is a piece of crap, it eats 1 GB of ram within a day here.

    Firefox 3.0 was slow as shit thought (in OS X), Opera rules.

    Flash sucks even more in OS X than in general, I know it seems weird but it really does!

    What's the different of that and Miro? http://www.getmiro.com/

  4. Re:This won't help the xbox on Microsoft To Drop HD DVD · · Score: 1

    .. or they could have gone with blu-ray ;D

  5. Re:Now that that's over on Microsoft To Drop HD DVD · · Score: 2

    I always thought they supported HD-DVD to hurt Sony and/or PS3 sales.

  6. Re:whew, fewer syllables on Toshiba To Halt HD-DVD Production · · Score: 1

    Yeah, beacause everyone know what DVD stood for anyway? Or CD-ROM? Thought good enough for vibrator och masturbation sleeve, but what about the fleshlight?! Where is the light!?!

  7. Re:All I read was... on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that by default it will make everyone else stop talking to you or share free stuff.

  8. Re:All I read was... on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 1

    Seriously, bought good fit and good looking clothes are much better than free ugly ones. Do yourself a favor and get rid of all crap clothes and buy new good ones ;D

    If it hangs lose, got ugly advertisement or prints, got broken or bad elastics, are worn out (socks) just throw it away ;D

    Seriously, you must be way better of without a Microsoft shirt. It always hurt in my stomach when I see people wearing anything which says Microsoft or MCSE ;D

  9. Re:Sweet! on EU Commissioner Proposes 95 year Copyright · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but hopefully he got paid for his opinion, if not he must be really retarded. In any case I won't let him lick my balls.

  10. I think it's the ISS itself. on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 1

    While you may be correct I really doubt it's the smell of "space", rather the smell of the air lock or the outside of ISS.

  11. Re:Take a big wiff on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 1

    So I'd assume.

  12. Re:Implied Lisa? on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 1

    Aslong as you use Kelvin...

  13. Re:then exploit it (if you can) on OpenBSD Will Not Fix PRNG Weakness · · Score: 1

    I know waaay to little about quantum physics, I've never understood this can't measure it without changing it stuff or whatever =p, so I have a hard time arguing in either way regarding it. But I do guess there must be a spin and that you should be able to find out what it is just that our methods of reading it interferce with it or something? Kindoff useless to try to discuss it when I know so little about the subject thought. Would be intresting to know more.

  14. Re:Uh what ... yeah on OpenBSD Will Not Fix PRNG Weakness · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But with BSD I have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, with GPL the freedom of using the source code are guaranteed.

  15. Re:Uh what ... yeah on OpenBSD Will Not Fix PRNG Weakness · · Score: 1

    It's both more and less freedom, depending on if you are the developer or the user. There are benefits of both, even thought as I see the BSD alternative as more "free" even thought it doesn't guarantee the freedom.

  16. Re:Uh what ... yeah on OpenBSD Will Not Fix PRNG Weakness · · Score: 1

    What says Apple wouldn't release the source code of the patch just because they doesn't have to?

  17. Re:then exploit it (if you can) on OpenBSD Will Not Fix PRNG Weakness · · Score: 1

    Kinda hard to make some if nothing in our world are truly random. Or is anything? Would be cool if there was an algoritm for the past, present and future of the whole universe and everything within ;D

  18. and btw... on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    Btw, I guess firefox may be used as a dorky replacement of "lynx."

  19. Re:People don't like change on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    Yeah, firefox explains exactly what it does! Sooo much better than opera, safari or konqueror, I mean wtf?

  20. Re: just call gedit "edit" on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    Yeah, problem with an OS environment with plenty of choices are that it doesn't work to good if everyone call their editor "editor" their browser "browser" and so on. Also Bowser are way cooler!

    As long as the menu contains generic names instead of application names I don't see the troubles, or even:

    Applications > Text Editors > [Text Editor] gedit, [Text Editor] gvim
    Applications > Internet -> [Internet Browser] firefox, [Internet Browser] Opera

    Or whatever .. Thought if the user are to lazy to learn the name of his favorite application maybe he shouldn't be using computers at all .. The world would be such a better place :D

  21. Re:People don't like change on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    While I agree that he choosed a bad example (And I think k3b are easy to remember, worse with kopete, konqueror and such, gnome names.) Apples way to get their own names with adding an i in iTunes, iChat, iMovie, iDVD, and such are quite convenient since they are easy to remember, but sure, even more generic not trademark protected filenames would eventually be even better. Pages, keynote and garageband are good names aswell. (As is word ..)

  22. Re:In fact less on Does Anonymity In Virtual Worlds Breed Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I mean, if I had something very secret to talk about, whould I go for 1) An encrypted service of my own or 2) Talk unencrypted within a game on servers I can't trust and which probably logs everything?

    Gee, I don't know.

  23. Re:"fair" would be "what users need" on Mac Hack Contest Redux · · Score: 1

    Mine wasn't on, and I've been using this computer for 4 months, my first mac thought... So I hadn't bothered looking around for it earlier, did it now when the parent talked about it. I hope the much less knowledgable people than me turn it on on their macs aswell... Especially when so many people try to convince them that macs are bulletproof ...

    Personally I see a ingoing firewall as rather useless since you shouldn't be running services you don't need anyway, and if you need them blocking them out isn't that great... (Filtering on ips may be ok, but I don't think this firewall supports that anyway, haven't checked, won't do it now.)

    I used to and may even run littlesnitch just to prevent outgoing connections from applications calling home or spyware/keylogger/whatever.

    It's not like having random people choose a target will be scientific either, but if you want just use two machines of each OS, one default install and one average user standard desktop.

  24. Re:"fair" would be "what users need" on Mac Hack Contest Redux · · Score: 1

    I just checked my machine in Leopard and the firewall was off.

    Anyway as others have said OS X has flash and javascript enabled and installed in the browser, quicktime, itunes with streaming music, mp3, pdf, dvd, burner support. Can show docs maybe (?)

    I think default is the only way to test this however. If one os does more bad luck for it. Just take some regular/useful Linux dist.

  25. Re:dont forget on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    If you only want one parent this stuff isn't needed anyway since you could just clone yourself. This however gives all benefits of sex (well, almost..) but from two people of the same sex.
