  1. Re:wait what? on Space Cube – the World's Smallest Linux PC · · Score: 1

    2006? I thought the name change was recent.

    No, I intend to live my life without any risks until this technology becomes available -- then I intend to live for ever.

  6. Re:Google Web Server on Netcraft Says IIS Gaining on Apache · · Score: 4, Informative

    With this month's survey, Netcraft has begun tracking Google's custom web server software known as GFE (Google Front End), which is currently found on 2.7 million hostnames, or 2.3% of all sites. Google customizes its web infrastructure, with in-house solutions for software and hardware, including energy-efficient servers and power supplies. GFE is the server found on Blogger sites at blogspot.com, while Google uses GWS (Google Web Server) on some other services, although none with the volume of hostnames seen at Blogger.

    Incorrect, 82.7329% use fake clients.
  9. Re:Don't Blame the Machines on Man's Vote for Himself Missing In E-Vote Count · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, the machines do exactly what they are supposed to do. It's whoever dictated what they were supposed to do that is at fault.

  10. Re:The CS Community on Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming a cvar will be introduced with which server admins can disable this feature.

  11. Re:Geez, it's a $200 system! on No 3rd Party Online Support for Wii Until Next Year? · · Score: 1

    It could indeed have something to do with hardware -- the servers used for online play. Perhaps Nintendo needs some time to test and expand them before letting other developers do whatever they like.

    (Assuming there is some kind of master server.)

  12. Re:Where do I sign up... on Mozilla Calls on User Community Today for Testing · · Score: 0

    Recent stable versions (yesterday's nightly trunk build, for example) of Firefox have fixed the noticeable memory leaks. I haven't noticed any instability in any version however.

  13. Human survival on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1

    Generally the case is as stated, "We can't."

    However, I have a quite extreme solution to prevent the eventual doom of mankind, technological singularity, that is, kill all scientists.

    Of course, that won't happen, and I've already prepared a red carpet for our new AI overlords.

  14. Re:You might also be interested in... on OpenFrag - An Open Source FPS · · Score: 1

    You really have to keep software up to date, otherwise it'll just end up unreadable like http://advsys.net/ken/klab/labflsrc.zip (yes, you'll want to check the source).

    This is especially important for a crossplatform application that will have to support the newest architectures that weren't even conceived when the application ceased development.

    Of course, it's a pain in the ass, so why bother ;)

  16. In related news on EU Fines for Microsoft Approved, Off the Record · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    US Government announces Operation Europe Freedom which will liberate the country of Europe led by an evil terrorist regime.

  17. Re:Surprisingly! on MDN presents 'Manglish - Manga in English' · · Score: 1

    Check out Urotsuki Doji (translated to something containing the word Overlord), it's by the same author as La Blue Girl, and one of the few masterpieces of the 80's.

    Tentacles as thick as buses help.

  18. Re:Do you want to live forever? on Firefox to Drop Pre-Windows 2000 Support · · Score: 1

    FFox 2.0 will support Windows 98.

  19. By God! on MIT Plans To Convert Cell Phone Users Into Podcasters · · Score: 1

    I just had the best idea ever! And this time I didn't forgot to write it down!

    I call it "Soapboxcasting."

    It requires a soapbox; climbing up on the soapbox somehow (I think AJAX will make that simple). Then, after exchanging headers with the recipients, you simply start talking, utilizing the already largely available atmosphere to transmit the soundwaves.

    This is going to completely revolutionize the world as we know it! Just think about it, one soapboxcast at every street corner. And how simple it is, using nothing but the basic technologies, I imagine this will be very useful in China for example!

  20. Re:concepts are here on Cloak of Invisibility Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    I can only imagine the power it would take to run a cloak like in Start Trek or Stargate

    I'd imagine it takes a bit less than a device that allows a spaceship to travel at speeds faster than light for years on end.

  21. Re:How easy to retrieve SQLlite data in case of cr on Mozilla Firefox 2 Alpha 1 Available · · Score: 1

    Why do you think things would get harder?

    SQLite stores its DB in one file, the previous system stored the bookmarks in one file.

    Nothing has changed (except that the history is also stored in the bookmarks file, so you won't have to bother copying is specifically).

    I pray that Thunderbird decides to go this route!

    Did the operation cure the epilepsy?
